📋 About This Mod
This overhaul is centered around the volcanic region but covers all land and rock textures.
There are 3 main files, 1 for the base game with just colour maps and 2 for Openwmw users, 1 with colour maps and normals and 1 with colour, normal, height and specular maps. Openwmw has the options to turn off normals and specular maps however.
The last option will look best although it will put more strain on your gpu. With a 980 ti card I can run option 1 at 100 fps, option 2 at 80 fps and option 3 at 60.
All textures are 2 k.
I have uploaded an optional molten lava file, with a crustier top layer and not so bright lower layer. I think it is a significant improvement.
A texture replacer for Vvardenfell's landscape and rocks, aiming to improve visual fidelity. With 19 endorsements and 875 downloads, it's a niche mod for Morrowind players seeking a refreshed look. Last updated May 2025, it remains a simple, focused option for those wanting a quick visual upgrade.
