📋 About This Mod
You MUST be using OpenMw engine or Morrowind Code Patch 1. 9+ by Hrnchamd and have "High-def cutscene support" enabled. Full HD means 1920 x 1080 pixels, original Morrowind with this mod will crash on startup!
For low-spec machines: I was trying this mod on Macbook Air 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2. 3 GHz), it's stuttering a bit but summary it's OK, it's not lagging.
I installed TES Legends to try and inspect resourses. Not a lot movies are about Morrowind, but I found few. I decided not to add Sota Sil and Clockwork City related movies because their design is much different from TES III. Fortunately design of Dagoth Ur and Tribunal creatures (fabricants) is very close to original Morrowind.
Prewiew of this mod is here (music in this video is not included in this mod).
Rename mw_menu.bik to menu_background.bik in original "Data Files\Video" folder, launch the game and inspect original animated menu as it was design, I don't know why this file named improperly and never used. If you got no "Data Files\Video" folder, copy it from CD.
1. Back up 2 files:
Data Files\Video\mw_logo.bik (it's not suitable to my mod)
Data Files\Music\Special\morrowind title.mp3 (original main menu music)
2. Extract archive anywhere
3. Copy "Video" to "Morrowind\Data Files\"
4. Choose one of main menu replacements. Fastest way -- drag and drop folder "! Choose a music replacement !" to media player, do not browse inside -- there are a lot subfolders.
5. Copy one of choosen "morrowind title.mp3" to Data Files\Music\Special folder.
Return back backuped files:
Data Files\Video\mw_logo.bik
Data Files\Music\Special\morrowind title.mp3
and delete this:
Data Files\Video\menu_background.bik
00. For cinematic scenes: credits goes to Bethesda Softworks and Direwolf Digital.
I was choosing great music replacements to fit my mod tand to be sad, doomed and majestic and epic in the same time. So there authors:
01. strikr901, mod name NLS Morrowind Title 1-42993-1-0
02. Taggart Moss - Hope of Vvardenfell (ESO Morrowind Fanmade Music)
03. TES Legens - Houses of Morrowind Theme
Music owned by Bethesda Softworks and Direwolf Digital
04. TES Online Morrowind Theme -- A Land of War and Poetry

5. TES VI - Volenfell Main Theme (Unofficial) by Caden Welborn
Happy to present this amazing (for me) mod with additional Dunmeri male voice actings:
A 1080p animated main menu replacement for Morrowind featuring cinematic scenes from TES Legends, including Dagoth Ur, Lorhan's heart, and fabricants, plus menu music replacements. A niche cosmetic mod with 44 endorsements, last updated in 2019.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Brings Morrowind's main menu to life with high-res animated scenes—a fresh look for a classic.
- The TES Legends art style fits Morrowind's aesthetic, so it feels cohesive.
- Small but dedicated following (44 endorsements) suggests it works well for those who use it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—may not be compatible with current Morrowind versions or mod setups.
- Only 44 endorsements, so it's a niche pick; you might be on your own if issues pop up.
For Morrowind players who want a cinematic, high-res main menu without overhauling the whole UI. If you're a fan of TES Legends' art style and want a fresh look at the menu, this is a quick win. Skip if you prefer vanilla menus or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a menu replacer, make sure to place the files in your Morrowind Data Files folder and enable the .esp or .bsa in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Test the menu music volume in-game—some replacements can be louder or softer than vanilla, so adjust your settings accordingly.
