📋 About This Mod

This mod is a collection of loading screens based on official and fan art of Morrowind's beautiful and alien landscapes.

It is designed to be used alongside & supplemented by my 'Lorkhan's Arena - Interior Loading Screens' mod.

There are two collections available in 'Main Files' and showcased (in full) in the 'Images' tab.

- Lorkhan's Arena - Landscapes -- this set of 61 images is the primary collection, comprising my favorite images.

- Lorkhan's Arena - More Landscapes -- this set of 30 images is the secondary collection.

There are also two supplemental sets available as 'Optional Files'; I added a selection of these to 'Images'.

- Lorkhan's Landscapes - Borderline -- I no longer recommend using these 21 images.

- Lorkhan's Landscapes - Deprecated -- I tested these 45 splash screens and now recomemnd against using them.

To install, simply download whichever sets you want to use, and enable in the mod manager of your choice (I use MO2).

I highly recommend removing the default loading screens from your game if you use my mod. The original files can be found in Morrowind/Data/Splash -- if you'd prefer not to delete them outright, simply create a '/Splash/default' sub-folder and move all of the vanilla .tga files into that.

Alexey Rudikov (7 images), Dead End Thrills (3 images), Dominik Zdenkovic (6 images), Elder Scrolls Online (21 images),

Joseph Watmough (3 images), Roman Dubina (2 images), TES Renewal: Skywind (8 images)

The 30 images of this secondary collection were created by:

Elder Scrolls Online (6 images), Rayph Beisner (2 images), Roman Dubina (6 images), TES Renewal: Skywind (7 images)

Along with these 7 other artists:

Belissa Minomi (1), Bethesda Official (1), Dead End Thrills (1), Dmitry Prozorov (1), TES Legends (1),  Raihan Erviansyah (1), Vernon Trier (1)

I enjoy & recommend this set; however, I personally no longer use them, as I prefer to have my favorite images (from the primary set) appear more often.
