📋 About This Mod

When your immune system rolls poorly

Warning:

You should under no circumstances add corpus disease (spoiler!) to the list of catchable diseases.

Corpus is so powerful, that it can ruin not only your character's health, but also your main quest.

Description:

This modular mod adds the chance to contract context-appropriate diseases while adventuring in specific locations. It becomes important to take measures to protect oneself from various infections with the use of enchantments and potions. By default:

in Tombs you can contract:

  • []Brown Rot

    []Chills

    in Egg Mines you can contract:

    • []Droops

      in Sewers, Canals and Underworks you can contract:

      • []Swamp Fever

        []Witbane

        in Swamps you can contract:

        • []Swamp Fever

          in Sixth House Bases you can contract:

          • []Ash Woe Blight

            []Ash-chancre

            []Black-Heart Blight

            []Chanthrax Blight

            More locations may be added in the future based on user feedback and suggestions.

            Installation:

            This mod requires MWSE, hance it is not for OpenMW.

            For MO2 users:

            • []Just download it and install like any other mod. Nothing special here. Congratulations.

            For Wrye Mash users:

            • []You can either install as an installer or do it manually

            For Vortex users:

            • []why are you using Vortex? Srsly, rethink this.

            For manual installation:

            • []We all unzip together. Drop mod directory in Data Files

              How to survive:

              By default, with no resistance to common/blight diseases, you have a 30% chance to contract a common disease every 30 seconds. If it feels too punishing for you, you can change it manually in the mod menu to whatever feels right.

              Protecting player's character by stacking resistance to common disease and carrying cure disease potion, becomes crucial for your characters health.

              Vanilla Morrowind offers a limited selection of items that protect from common/blight disease; however, there are numerous mods on Nexus that do. Some of them (listed below) are truly excellent and you should be using them. Wear gas masks for that sweet Stalkerwind experience!

              How it works:

              []The script searches for locations (cells) whose names contain certain combination of letters ("tomb", "sewer", "underworks, "egg mine" etc.). You can blacklist specific locations via mod menu if this mod is affecting cells that it shouldn't.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's modular, start by enabling disease chances only for the locations you frequent most, like tombs or sewers, to get a feel for the added difficulty.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod manually by dropping the files into your Data Files folder—it's that simple.
  • Check your character's resistance to disease (e.g., through spells or items) to mitigate the risk if you find the chances too punishing.
