📋 About This Mod
1. 2 has all the same features as the original, 1. 4 is a significant expansion. Requires OpenMW 0. 51.
OpenMW Romance Mod Redux modernizes the original Romance mod with an OpenMW 0.51 Lua wrapper and over 3500 lines of Lua, preserving dialogue and relationship progression while adding gifts, contextual dialogue, and environmental scenes for follower companions. It's for OpenMW players wanting romance alongside dedicated follower mods like Rapport without replacing companion AI.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Packs a serious 3500+ line Lua rewrite—this isn't a quick port, it's a full modernization.
- Built for OpenMW 0.51 and designed to work alongside follower AI mods like Rapport and Follower Commands.
- Small niche mod with a dedicated user base (7 endorsements, 84 downloads) for OpenMW romance fans.
⚠️ Cons
- OpenMW 0.51+ only; vanilla Morrowind or older OpenMW versions won't work.
- Compatibility with Julan Ashlander and Squire is explicitly 'your mileage may vary'—chatter may conflict or feel disconnected.
- Inherits the original's adult content (pregnancy, fade-to-black scenes), which not everyone wants.
For OpenMW players who want deeper companion romance without sacrificing their follower AI mods like Rapport or Attend Me. Ideal for Morrowind veterans who remember the original Romance mod and want it modernized and expanded with new contextual interactions. Skip if you're on vanilla Morrowind or dislike adult themes like pregnancy mechanics and fade-to-black scenes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're on OpenMW 0.51 or later before installing; this mod relies on the new Lua scripting rather than the old MWScript.
- If you already have the original Romance mod installed, load this mod after it so the new Lua wrapper replaces the old control script.
- If using Julan Ashlander or Squire, expect some dialogue overlap or silence—consider disabling their built-in chatter where possible.
