📋 About This Mod
Forgot to save before delving into your first dungeon?
Or accidentally hit someone in Seyda Neen while checking out your starting spells?
Or you installed a mod that makes Fargoth instakill you when he talks to you?
Well, now you wouldn't need to recreate your character from scratch!
The game is saved before any of the "additional" chargen mods like Character Traits Framework or Daggerfall Character Creation are started, though.
Should be compatible with any alternative start mods.
Safe to install mid-playthrough too.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from forgetting to save right after character creation—one less thing to worry about.
- Tiny mod, no bloat—does exactly what it says and nothing else.
- Freshly updated (July 2026), so it's likely compatible with current OpenMW builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (7) means it's barely tested by the community—use at your own risk.
- Only useful for the very start of a playthrough; after that, it's dead weight.
For OpenMW players who frequently start new characters and want to avoid the hassle of manual saving right after character creation. Skip if you're on vanilla Morrowind or if you prefer to manage your saves manually.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable—this mod won't work on vanilla.
- If you're using a mod manager like MO2, just drop the mod in and activate it; otherwise, place the files in your OpenMW data directory.
- Test the mod by creating a new character and checking that a save appears immediately after the creation screen.
