📋 About This Mod
NEMAS now comes with t-w-o profiles!
Github page is up.
For installation instructions scroll to the bottom.
The main fully overhauled 1500-mod package is still intact, with the addition of a new Vanilla+ profile. Aside from being graphically identical to the main overhaul profile, it only touches up on the most basic/necessary QOL improvements and Landmass mods (all three PT+TR additions).
This means you're free to use the Vanilla+ profile as a base and add new mods as you see fit, with minimal to no conflicts. Or play it as it is.
This is Morrowind the way I would like to replay it in the modern day. Every mod added in has been looked over by me for general incompatibilities and errors. The shader preset and lighting changes (thanks to the tool S3Lightfixes by S3ctorOMW) in particular have been tweaked over and over to achieve the result you can experience now and that I am satisfied with.
NEMAS has a heavy emphasis on visuals, resulting in a pretty hefty size requirement as of now. I have tried my best to optimize and avoid 4K textures in general (most are 1K or 2K) so it should still be around the best visual to performance ratio you can get with all these mods stacked together.
Almost all of the textures make use of PBR lighting and have necessary texture maps included.
World Expansion
Settlements have been enhanced by mods like Beautiful Cities of Morrowind, OAAB Grazelands and OAAB Tel Mora among many others which bring them a little closer to their actual scale in Vvardenfell.
The new landmass expansions Tamriel Rebuilt, Project Cyrodiil, and Skyrim: Home of the Nords are included to enhance role-playing and the questing experience. They feature several new factions and quests and more people to meet along in your journey.
Gameplay & Mechanics
Melee and Ranged Combat are expanded upon and overhauled by mods like N'Garde - Active Block and Parry and Bullseye - Marksman Overhaul among others.
Nerevar Moon-and-Star (NEMAS) is an OpenMW modlist offering two profiles: a Vanilla+ option with visual improvements and PT+TR additions, or a ~1500-mod Overhaul package that enhances Vardenfell visually and mechanically. Designed for both returning and new players, it provides a comprehensive way to experience Morrowind with modern improvements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Two profiles let you pick your poison: keep it light or go full overhaul.
- The ~1500 mod package is a massive upgrade for Morrowind's dated visuals and mechanics.
- Active development (last updated August 2026) means it's likely kept current with OpenMW.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 57 endorsements—small community, so troubleshooting help might be scarce.
- The ~1500 mod count could be a performance hog on weaker rigs.
For Morrowind veterans who want a modernized Vardenfell without the hassle of building their own modlist. Also for newcomers who want a polished first playthrough. Skip if you prefer vanilla or want a lightweight mod setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have OpenMW installed and updated—this modlist is built for it.
- If you're new to modding, start with the Vanilla+ profile to get a feel for the changes.
- Check the mod's forum or Discord (if any) for community support, since the description lacks details.
