📋 About This Mod




Trancemaster reworked the Red Mountain for his megamod, Morrowind Rebirth, to make it look more like the volcano it's supposed to be. It's beautiful work, but Morrowind Rebirth is a massive mod for a player to commit to with tons of changes to the game world that make it incompatible with most mods not designed specifically with Rebirth in mind. I have always been jealous of Trancemaster's beautiful rendition of the mountain, so... I've kidnapped it.

Red Mountain Reborn is Trancemaster's Red Mountain, but I've cut along the dotted line and stitched it into the vanilla landscape. The landscape edits are restricted only to the Red Mountain region and the bordering Ashlands region cells. It was tedious work making the landscape and shading flow right and I am not a particularly incredible exterior editor, but I'm hoping I got everything up to a standard that does Trancemaster's work justice. It was really incredible for him to give me permission to do this and the whole time I was toiling away stitching and painting, I was also excited to get this done to give to all of you.

To address a common point of confusion: you can use this mod on its own without having to use any of the other included patches. I have received more than one request to make a version of this mod without the dwemer tower at the peak of the mountain (from DNGDR). The reality is, this version already exists. It's the base version of the mod that you can see in the above screen as well as a few screens in the gallery! Enjoy.

Version 1. 1 of Red Mountain Reborn has one small fix for a problem I believe it inherited from Morrowind Rebirth. The script attached to the door into Dagoth Ur was busted - not a showstopping bug, but you had to get the door to glitch out to actually get past it which was not ideal. Now it works like every other dwemer door.

I have included several patches with version 1. 1 of the mod so that hopefully RMR can fit into more installs. All patches are ".esp replacers". Use my versions instead of the ones that came with the mod, but do note that you need the original mods installed as I have not included any of their assets. If you are using a mod manager, RMR's versions should automatically replace them. Simple.

Darknut's Greater Dwemer Ruins v1. 2. 1

You must download this mod separately in order for the included patch to work. Get it here.

This is a patch hand-made by me - it was just easier for me to do that than to try and make Darknut's Rebirth patch work. I have tested all of the doors to make sure things line up right and so far as I can tell it's all good. I don't play Morrowind without GDR.
