Installing the Morrowind Code Patch
After updating the BSA Register, a window titled Morrowind Code Patch will appear. Click everything under Graphics, Bugs, and Interface Changes.
The Game Mechanics section includes various options, select any that appeal to you. Make sure not to select Main Menu Wider Textures, as we the main menu textures will are customized with this pack. If there are any of the options in any of the menus that don't appeal to you, feel free to uncheck them.
Finish by selecting Apply Chosen Patches and wait until you see a 'Patch Succeeded' message.
Installing MoRRoWiNi
A window entitled MoRRoWiNi will appear next. Simply specify where Morrowind is installed, then click the icon with the pencil and then the door shaped icon. Click Finish in the main installer.
Installing .EXE Optimizer
The program EXE Optimzer will open.
In the Main tab, select Find Morrowind Manually, and again specify your installation folder. Navigate to the tab labeled Benchmarker and uncheck Benchmark Patches. Go back to the main tab and select Patch Morrowind. You will see 'Finished. Applied <#> patches'. If you get any errors, ignore them. Restart exeOpt.exe after the main installation process if it fails this time around.
If you get many errors and it doesn't appear to be ending, simply close EXE Optimizer and continue.
Installing MGSOO
Next, the MGSOO Menu will appear. This will allow you to personalize Morrowind's advanced graphics effects to your own personal taste. It acts as an interface that modifies many of the mods included in the pack depending on what you select. These settings can be changed at any time by opening the app in the Morrowind/MGSOO folder. Distant Lands will have to be recreated every time you change your settings, unfortunately.
The Final Steps
Morrowind AnimKit 2.1 will open next, simply install it in an easy to access location, and you're done! Animkit 2.1 allows the animations in Morrowind to be customized by various mods, fixing the originally atrocious walk/run/monster animations.
Next, simply run the Morrowind launcher as an admin, go to Data Files, and check all of the plugins.
Go to your Morrowind install folder, and open the folder named Mlox. Launch Mlox.exe.
Click Refresh Load Order and exit.
Patching Morrowind for More Than 4GB of RAM
If you are running a 64-bit system with more than 2 GB of RAM, you must install a patch. In the Morrowind folder, launch 4 GB PATCH (x64).exe as an Administrator. After that, you should be all set to use more than 2GB of RAM!
The Next Steps: Adding Content and Tweaking Visuals
After this, you could simply select a preset in MWGE and be on your way to an already gorgeous looking game. You can use the Morrowind Graphics Extender settings menu to completely change the atmosphere and way your game looks if you so please. The next section of this guide will cover the settings of MWGE and how to create certain effects in your game.
Now that you've completely changed the graphical element of your game, why not start adding some new content to it? The amount of depth presented in many Morrowind plugins is very often on par with the original game content! For starters, check out the Tamriel Rebuilt project. It aims to put all of Tamriel into the Morrowind game, complete with new quests, items, characters, monsters, and huge new landmasses! For a veritable treasure trove of mods, you can check out Planet Elder Scrolls. They keep an entire database of mods on their site, and are known as the definitive source for all things Morrowind.
It's almost time for you to go out and save Morrowind from disaster, fetcher!

Overhaul your Morrowind game play with these modes and customizations.
Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls franchise has always had a special relationship with the modding community. What started as a handful of fans expressing their passion for games like Morrowind has quickly evolved into one of gaming's largest modding playerbases, with enough content to form an impressive list of the best Skyrim mods since its release. Interestingly enough, however, fans really haven't forgotten about how groundbreaking Morrowind was during its time, as experienced and skilled modders have continued to work tirelessly to improve the game that launched The Elder Scrolls series into the gaming stratosphere.

While Morrowind content has already made the leap to an online setting thanks to The Elder Scrolls Online's latest expansion, the modding group 'TES3MP' has finally released their most anticipated addition to the original game - functional multiplayer. Many modding teams have tried to implement this feature in the past, but all of them ran into the same issue, as NPC sync was nearly impossible to code. NPC sync refers to getting NPCs to appear for each player and behave as intended, and it's only something that the TES3MP team recently managed to figure out.
The mod still has its problems, which the team is quick to admit, but it's also the most significant step toward real Morrowind multiplayer that has ever been made. For that reason alone, it's worth downloading the mod to check it out and experience it with all the other players who are excited to try it out and make it even better. Here's where and how to download what could arguably be the biggest mod in Morrowind history.

Download the Multiplayer Mod
First thing's first - players need to actually download the file they'll need to enable Morrowind multiplayer. Just follow the link here and download the .zip file.
Install OpenMW
How To Install Mods On Morrowind Mac
OpenMW, which stands for Open Morrowind, is a free open-source and modern engine that is based on the one that runs behind the scenes in the original 2002 version of Morrowind. It's a staple of the modding community because of its flexibility, and comes with features like an editor to create original games alongside customizable GUI and high scalability. The new Morrowind multiplayer mod doesn't necessarily require it, but it is highly recommended that new users do so, as OpenMW is a staple of Morrowind's still-popular modding scene.

How To Download Morrowind
If OpenMW is Installed
If players already have OpenMW, they need only download the tes3mp file and unzip the folder to a destination of their choice. OpenMW will locate it, the game will load, and players will be able to enjoy the new multiplayer features right away.
If OpenMW is Not Installed
If OpenMW is not installed, players still have a relatively simple option to gain access to the multiplayer mod. Players should run Morrowind's launcher wizard and point it in the direction of the morrowind.esm.
Running a Morrowind Multiplayer Server
After installation, players will need to start their own server by running tes3mp-server.exe. Essentially, players will need to open a port so other players can join, or use the aforementioned .exe file to join a pre-existing server by selecting from the servers that are already available. Servers can be private or password protected, and can also indicate exactly what mods are required to join - a handy list will appear when a player selects each server showing what they will need to download to be able to play properly on that server. Admins even have the ability to disable console use for the entire server or specific players, giving server owners a lot of control over how their Morrowind multiplayer experience will go.

That's how to download Morrowind's new and exciting multiplayer mod. While the mod still has a number of bugs and will likely have even more as a huge influx of players begin to attempt to use it, it's an incredible step forward for a game that is over a decade-and-a-half old and is well worth the look.
