📋 About This Mod
Collection of shaders for OpenMW: 1. Toon Shader, 2. Soft Shadows.
🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
A compact shader pack for OpenMW adding a toon shader and soft shadows. With 56 endorsements and 6,060 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated visual enhancement for Morrowind players using OpenMW.
✨ Key Features
Adds a toon shader for a cel-shaded look.
Adds soft shadows for more natural lighting.
Compatible with OpenMW, the open-source Morrowind engine.
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (6,060 downloads, 56 endorsements) shows it's being used and appreciated.
- Two distinct visual upgrades in one pack — toon shading and soft shadows — give you options without cluttering your load order.
- Last updated February 2026, so it's actively maintained and likely works with current OpenMW builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Only two shaders included; if you want a broader overhaul, this won't cover everything.
- Small mod with a niche audience (56 endorsements) — you might find more comprehensive shader packs elsewhere.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Morrowind players using OpenMW who want a quick visual refresh without overhauling the whole game. If you're into cel-shaded aesthetics or hate harsh shadows, this is a low-effort way to test those looks. Skip if you want a full graphics overhaul or don't use OpenMW.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind engine — this mod won't work otherwise.
- Check your OpenMW settings for shader installation paths; typically you'll place files in the shaders folder.
- Test the toon shader and soft shadows separately to see which you prefer — you can enable them individually.
