📋 About This Mod
Morrowind Public Library v1. 5 -by DrSilent (2008/05/28) 1. Description This mod adds a library building just north of Pelagiad, on the south shore of Lake Amaya. It contains pretty much every non-unique book in Morrowind, as well as a few new books specially aimed at the newcomer explaining the basic workings of the game (this was actually the starting point of the mod... these things always grow out of control). Since v1. 5, it also contains more than 200 new books, all consitent with the Lore of Morrowind. Books are arranged by their specific area of interest (History, Magic, Combat, Religion, etc). The first half of the library is immediately accessible and contains few skill books. The second floor is accessible only through a (short) quest devised to prevent starting characters from reading all those skill books. Because, you know, that would be bad. The mod introduces 9 new NPCs, all with varying degrees of involvement in quest dialogue, as well as a new joinable \"Faction\" for the Library. It also introduces nine new re-textured potions as \"tea mugs\", with effects ranging from limited to definitely helpful (but harder to get). The library is seamlessly integrated into the world by the addition of a random rumor conversation topic in Seyda Neen, Pelagiad, Balmora and Vivec. Since v1. 5 it also introduces a (debatedly) convoluted literary puzzle quest line (hint: talk to Tom the scout) eventually leading to a way to use limited Fast Travel in Morrowind. If you do notice an inaccuracy in the solution of the puzzle, I\'m aware of it. But I had to do it. 2. Installation The usual. Extract the archive to the data files folder and everything should work fine. You may have to set the date of the mod back in time a bit for full compatibility with magic stat modifying mods in particular (No-glo, for instance, should be loaded after this mod). The mod can be installed mid-game. If upgrading from a previous version, there could be problems. I recommend getting any books you may have given to the library back from NPC Kenna (first floor) before overwriting the files. Otherwise, they may be lost. If you encounter doubling, cleaning your savegame with Wrye Mash should fix it. There is a known (sort-of) rare bug that could make the puzzle quest not work properly if you\'ve already completed it with one character and are now trying with another. This is in great part due to my inadequacy as a scripter. If this happens, open the console and type: StartScript MWlib_init This should fix the issue. 3. Compatibility The library has been designed to only depend on the original Morrowind. All additional meshes and textures have been renamed and put into a dedicated MWlib subfolder for easy uninstallation. The mod has been cleaned with TESame and Enchanted Editor and shouldn\'t cause any conflicts. Unless somebody put a house right at the same location, but I couldn\'t find any evide
