✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses the annoying yellow triangle issue—huge quality-of-life fix for OpenMW players
- Targeted patch that doesn't overhaul the mod, just cleans up what's broken
- Recent update (March 2026) shows the author is still maintaining it
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (31) means it's not widely tested—you might hit edge cases
- Requires Morrowind Comes Alive and OpenMW v0.49+ to work, so it's niche
- No detailed changelog or install instructions provided, so you're on your own if something goes wrong
For Morrowind players using OpenMW with Morrowind Comes Alive who are tired of seeing yellow missing mesh triangles. Skip if you play on the original engine or don't use MCA.
💡 Beginner Tips
