📋 About This Mod
The shader was originally converted and posted by zilav on the old Bethesda Forums. I think that it complements the look and feel of the game. I modified the shader to exclude the sky because it looked ugly to me, and the water because it didn't seem to be affected.
To use it, add Watercolor to the top of the active shader list in MGEXE.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives Morrowind a fresh, artistic look that stands out from typical graphics mods.
- Small but dedicated following (49 endorsements) suggests it works as advertised.
- Author claims full compatibility, so you can likely drop it in without conflicts.

For Morrowind players who want a completely different visual style, turning the game into a living watercolor painting. If you're tired of realistic graphics and want something artistic, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla or lore-friendly visuals—this is a bold aesthetic change.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a shader mod, make sure you have MGE XE installed and configured properly, as it likely relies on that for the effect.
- Test the mod in a new save or a safe area first to see if you like the look before committing to a full playthrough.
- If you use other graphics mods, install this one last and check for visual glitches—shader mods can interact unpredictably.
