📋 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.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 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.
