✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny QoL mod that solves a real annoyance—picking up tiny objects in Morrowind is way easier with cursor locking.
- Simple and focused: two features, no bloat, does exactly what it says.
- Active enough for a niche mod (22 endorsements, 365 downloads) and still works for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest MWSE or Morrowind versions, so test before relying on it.
- No documentation on how to configure the key bind or adjust the tooltip distance beyond the default.
- Only 22 endorsements, so it's a niche mod that might not have been thoroughly tested by the community.
For Morrowind players who struggle with picking up small items or want to see tooltips from further away. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls—this is a pure convenience tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MWSE (Morrowind Script Extender) installed, as this mod relies on it.
- Test the cursor lock on a small item like a fork or a scroll to get a feel for the new behavior.
- If the default key (Left) conflicts with your controls, check the mod's readme or forum for rebinding instructions.
