📋 About This Mod

Texture replacement for the bonemold, chitin, ebony, glass, Indoril, and netch leather armor styles. Permissions/Usage: Please ask my permission, preferably via PM on the Bethesda forums, before using any of the files in this mod for your own projects. I\'m a pretty nice guy, I\'ll usually say yes. Please do not upload this file to other modding sites. Translations are ok, though, again, shooting me a message beforehand wouldn\'t be unappreciated. Caveat: I had to rebuild my computer shortly before I uploaded this, and some texture files were lost in the process, though I backed up the majority of them. I\'ll make a more finalized version eventually, but for now there\'s not much I can do. Credits: Tronvillain- Fixed UV map on Indoril helmet AnOldFriend3- Reflection maps on Indoril and glass armor

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Morrowind Data Files folder and make sure the mod is checked in the launcher.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
  • Consider using a mod like Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW for better stability, but this mod should work with either.
