Recommended Mods:

Red Mountain Erupts will make the smoke/ash plume look really good (this is not needed if you use DynDOLOD and the DLC Vvardenfell Plume option)

Nyhus and The Border of Cyrodiil will add some boat travel options to Morrowind (future plans include a border crossing from southern Morrowind to Pryai Village)

DynDOLOD for the best LOD possible (make sure to grab the billboards and LOD assets from the optional files section, you need both!)

note: This mod is compatible with other landscape overhauls if they contain billboards, and if you use either DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen to regenerate the distant tree LOD
