📋 About This Mod
Muscular Male Body Redesigned (ver 1. 5)
Notice 1: Now there are two body types in ver 1. 5. Choose your likings. See the screenshot and version history below!
Notice 2: The (not very) old "Muscular Male body replacer for Morrowind", which can be found at https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45932, is now obsolete.
Description: No seams, no strange animation issues. Muscular Male body is now perfect except for normal maps and specular maps. Fully compatible with OpenMW.
Q) What's new ver 1. 5?
A) Now there are two body types. Type A has slim waist line, while Type B body's waist is a little bit thicker than Type A body's waist. See the screenshot. Choose whatever body type you like. The following is qwertyquit's recommendation:
"For elves and orc races, choose Type A.. and, for human races, choose Type B."
Normal maps and specular maps will be repainted in future.
Q) What's new ver 1. 4?
A) In version 1. 3, I have removed all strange animation issues. However, while doing so, seams on muscular male body have appeared again. That was my mistake. I had to fix it but I was a kind of lazy at the time. For this reason, I have redesigned male bodies. Body line is much better than before. Now those seams are in history. No seams, no strange animation issues. Muscular male body is now perfect. The only thing left for male body is to repaint normal maps and specular maps.
Q) What's new ver 1. 3?
A) There was another strange animation of muscles around men's the most important body part. You know what I mean right? ;) This strange deformation was visible when naked male characters are dead. This is fixed.
Q) What's new ver 1. 2?
A) There was this strange animation of muscles (or vertices.. whatever you call it) near armpit in ver 1. 1a. This problem is fixed now. See the included animated gif file.
Q) What's new ver 1. 1a?
A) Small incompatibility issue with some (just a few number) of Better Clothes is fixed
Q) What's new ver 1. 1?
A) Seamless body mesh
Requirements:
1. Better Bodies (BB) 2. 2 by Psychodog Studios (essential)
2. OpenMW [@] (optional but highly recommended)
3. Wet Body Texture Set for Better Bodies and DMRA bodies [@] (optional but highly recommended)
4. New HD Better Heads Texture Set [@] (optional but highly recommended)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives your male characters a proper beefcake look instead of the default noodle arms
- Small but solid following (151 endorsements) — people who use it swear by it
- Lightweight replacer that doesn't mess with other body parts
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Better Bodies 2.2 — if you don't have that installed, this won't work
- Last updated in 2018 — might have quirks with newer Morrowind setups or mods
- Only affects male bodies — no female or creature changes here
For Morrowind players who want their male characters to look like they actually lift. If you're already using Better Bodies and want a more muscular option, this is a quick swap. Skip if you're fine with the default body or want a more comprehensive body overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Better Bodies 2.2 is installed first, then drop this mod's files into your Data Files folder and activate it in the Morrowind Launcher.
- If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, load this after Better Bodies to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check the mod's file structure — if it includes a .esp, make sure it's checked in your load order.
