📋 About This Mod
Preview Warning for Tamriel Rebuilt
This is a mod for Tamriel Rebuilt's former TR_Preview that displays a brief warning whenever you cross the border between released and unreleased content.
If you've ever explored the edges of the released mainland content, you have probably ventured a little too far into an area with no NPCs or no interiors. The warning you get with this mod's script running will keep you informed so that you can choose to turn back. It works for all land and sea borders, whenever you enter unreleased Velothis or the southern Hlaalu and Dres lands.
As of version 22. 11, Tamriel Rebuilt no longer includes a public TR_Preview with its releases. However, you can build your own TR_Preview using in-dev "section files". This page explains how to do that and continue using this warning mod with the latest 26. 08 Poison Song release.
Building Your Own TR_Preview
You can use Tamriel Rebuilt's in-dev section files to substitute for the lack of TR_Preview. The release files page on the TR website is publicly viewable and the downloads are hosted on individual developers' Google Drives or GitHubs.
1. Download the latest internal Tamriel_Data from GitHub. Install this safely with Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2. GitHub Desktop is an easy way to keep Tamriel_Data up to date without redownloading it completely. Make sure to cleanly uninstall it before updating. You should replace the main ESM file but do not need to activate any other ESPs.

2. Go to https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/releasefiles. Choose the section files you want to use. Click on each section file's page and download the latest file version under "Release File Content" on the left sidebar. Use the load order below for best results.
This list is current as of 8/2/2026. The actual set of release files is constantly changing.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 256 endorsements and nearly 9.5k downloads.
- Actively maintained (last updated August 2026) so it should work with current TR builds.
- Solves a real problem: accidentally wandering into unfinished content and spoiling the experience.
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you play with Tamriel Rebuilt's Preview lands—if you stick to released content, it's pointless.
- Requires you to build your own TR_Preview for the latest version, which might be a hassle for non-technical users.
- No screenshots or detailed feature list in the description, so you can't see exactly what the warning looks like.
For Morrowind players who use Tamriel Rebuilt's Preview lands and want to avoid spoilers or accidental exploration. Also for modders who want to keep their TR_Preview up-to-date without manual tracking. Skip if you don't play with TR Preview or prefer to explore everything without warnings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install the mod as a regular mod and activate it after Tamriel Rebuilt.
- For the latest TR_Preview, follow the author's instructions to build it from the development files—this ensures the warning matches the current landmass.
- Test the warning by traveling to a known Preview border, like the area near Old Ebonheart, to confirm it triggers correctly.
