📋 About This Mod
The Ministry of Truth is supposed to be a meteorite that was bound to destroy the southern part of Vvardenfell. It is only by the power of Vivec himself that this meteorite is now suspended in mid-air, postponing the iminent destruction of this region.
In vanilla Morrowind however, the Ministry doesn't show much of its dramatic nature.
What this mod does, is adding a tail of smaller rocks to the Ministry, giving it a more dramatic and moving-object-suspended-in-mid-flight look. 2 options for direction: towards the palace or towards the temple. Additionally, you get the option to elevate the Ministry higher in the air. Bethesda originally kept it really low, because of the limited drawing distance back in 2002. With distand land, there's no reason to keep it this low anymore.
4 versions of the mod are available:
- Meteorite Ministry Palace: Baar Dau aimed at the palace, vanilla height
- Meteorite Ministry Palace - Higher: Baar Dau aimed at the palace, elevated higher in the sky
- Meteorite Ministry Temple: Baar Dau aimed at the temple, vanilla height
- Meteorite Ministry Palace - Temple: Baar Dau aimed at the temple, elevated higher in the sky
There's an optional mesh replacer for the Ministry of Truth itself. I'd advise to use it if you use one of the versions aimed at the palace.
An optional compatibility patch for Ministry of Truth Bump Mapped by Lougian is also included.
It is higly recomended/necessary to regenerate distant land in MGE XE!

💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, you can install it through that for easier management.
- Since it's a simple mesh/texture replacement, it should work with most mods that don't alter Baar Dau's model—just load it after those mods.
