📋 About This Mod
The Partner Mod is truly a groundbreaking NPC mod, since prior to its release there were very few NPC's that you could add to your party. The Partner Mod transforms Morrowind with the addition of more than 50 NPC's throughout the cities and towns, who may become your friends, companions, or partners based on their dispositions. Now you have a large number of NPC’s you can befriend and with whom you can share your adventures. Sex is also possible (homosexual relationships are not supported), and if you really fall in love, you can ask the lucky person to be your partner, sort of the Morrowind equivalent of a wife or husband. No nudity has been included, but that's easily added with other mods if that's what you want. A few unique faces have been added in this mod, but mostly it comes with standard faces. Of course, the faces can be changed too using some of the outstanding new NPC faces available for download, and is highly recommended for thorough enjoyment of all the NPC’s in Morrowind. Partner NPC’s are unique in other ways too. They have minds of their own, and may leave you if you do not maintain your relationships. Each NPC comes with their own journal which shares a part of their background, hopes, dreams, and personalities, so each one is a truly unique character. Along with these partner NPC’s, there are also a few wenches. They will not follow you, but do provide some additional unique experiences. One of the greatest features of the Partner Mod is the ability to easily add your own custom designed NPC's to the mod complete with all the dialogue and scripting of the other Partner NPC's. If you have even the crudest familiarity with the editor, you can add more partners and wenches easily and quickly using the same methods. Now you don’t have to spend hours creating dialogue and scripting, testing and debugging, and generally going crazy just to add one companion NPC to Morrowind. See the accompanying Custom_Partners.doc for full instructions.
Partners Mod adds over 50 recruitable NPCs across Morrowind's cities, a groundbreaking feature at its 2008 release. With 395 endorsements and 7,138 downloads, it remains a notable classic for players seeking party companions in the base game.
