Beast race armor mods/argonian male build help?

[Draconis2nd]

So, this may have been discussed already, but after a quick search of discussions, I couldn't find much, and part of my issue has to do with character build soooo.... I just fired up morrowind. I've played oblivion, skyrim, and a bit of arena and daggerfall (elder scrolls 1 and 2. And yes, I figured out enough of DOS to make it work). I usually go for a variant on a paladin build for argonian: heavy armor, shield, blade, conjuration, destruction, restoration, and alteration. (mysticism when applicable for soul trapping and enchanting as well as armorer). If anyone's ever played "Dragon's Dogma", my build is basically a mystic knight type of build. So, to my dismay, I learn that argonians can't wear boots or helmets...
So, I'm aware mods exist. Usually I'd go to the steam workshop, buuuut that wasn't a thing when this game came out. And I'm fairly new to the wonderous world of PC gaming, more than willing to learn. So my questions are as follows:
1) How does one set up mods for morrowind/oblivion (just got oblivion on here too. Thanks for forcing our hand, sony.... -_-), and what would be ideal? (links appreciated)
2) Are there mods that address the no boots/no helmet issue? I seriously looked forward to wearing iron ma- I mean dwarven armor as an argonian.... I'd be chill with ankle guards and some sort of non-intrusive helmet....
3) In the meantime, is there a reasonable way to still achieve my "modified paladin/mystic knight" build in vanilla morrowind, or should I start over and go light/medium armor?

Personaly I just use Khajiit with unarmored and hand to hand. Since beast races cant wear full armor slots, i just be unarmored to make the best out of the situation.
