📋 About This Mod
This replaces the Telvanni architecture, roots and mushrooms with high-resolution meshes and textures with bump-mapping. Some textures also feature a subtle glow effect at night
All textures were done from scratch and with great care. I hope you enjoy them.
I have also done the interiors, but you need to download them separately. Have a look at the downloads tab. They're still a bit WIP and I felt they could use some more polish before merging them with the full release. Be sure to check them out, though.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,584 endorsements and 59k downloads — clearly a go-to for Telvanni fans.
- Adds real depth to those mushroom towers — bump maps make the surfaces pop without changing the look.
- Smooths out the meshes, so you get better visuals without the jagged edges.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — might have issues with newer Morrowind setups or mods that alter Telvanni areas.
- Only covers Telvanni architecture — if you want other Great Houses or generic buildings, this won't help.
For Morrowind players who love House Telvanni and want their mushroom towers to look sharper and more detailed. If you're doing a Telvanni playthrough or just want to spruce up those areas, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're not into visual overhauls or if you're using other mods that already change Telvanni textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your Morrowind install clean — manual overwrites can get messy.
- If you're using other texture mods, load Telvanni Bump Maps after them so it takes priority for Telvanni areas.
- Check if you have the Morrowind Code Patch or MGE XE installed — they can help with bump map compatibility.
