📋 About This Mod
Argonian replacer.
Installation/Removal
Like any other mod.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with anything that is not an Argonian replacer. Mods that add new playable heads/"hairstyles" or alter specific NPCs are okay. Compaible with TR, Expedition to Mzelthuand (initially, patch made by qwertyquit), and Rise of House Telvanni.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,163 endorsements and 31,696 downloads.
- Works with Tamriel Rebuilt, so you can use it with that massive expansion.
- Optional green retexture gives you a color choice for your Argonians.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2021, so it might not be tested with the latest Morrowind mods or patches.
- Only affects Argonians—if you want overhauls for other races, you'll need separate mods.
For Morrowind players who want their Argonian characters to look better without overhauling the whole game. If you're a Tamriel Rebuilt fan, this is a must-have to keep Argonians consistent. Skip if you're not playing an Argonian or want more drastic changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install the optional green retexture only if you prefer that color scheme; otherwise, stick with the default.
- If you use Tamriel Rebuilt, load this mod after it to ensure the replacer takes effect.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it's a simple drop-in or requires manual merging with other texture mods.
