Remove View Distance Limits

[the big m]

I've been trying to find a not overly-complex mod to do nothing else but remove the view distances. I tried this: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/5535

After spending about 5 minutes in the confusing, vaguely explained tabs I tried to run morrowind it everything just got worse. Longer loading, shorter view distance, and it was extremely laggy.

Heya!

Morrowind Graphics Extender is the go-to mod for extending what you call distance limits. The mod that you linked though is a very out of date version of the mod. You can get the latest version here: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/26348/.

To figure out how to generate Distant Land from here (Or Remove View Distance Limits as you might say) simply follow this part of this video by DEG: https://youtu.be/UKuMT5RT2IE?t=17m5s

Removing view distance limit completely will lag terribly. MGE recommended in the post above will not work with OpenMW, which is a must if you are to have any chance of actually pulling it off.
(Vanilla Morrowind can't access most of your system specs power), but even with OpenMW that's a lot to render at once, wishing you luck non the less

Thanks everyone for your answers, I will try them!

You do not need OpenMW to remove distant limits. In fact OpenMW handles it much worse than MGE does. Obviously you do not want to remove them completely otherwise you will have a major FPS issue, however if you use MGE then you can render more distance at a more stable FPS than if you did so with OpenMW.

For example with MGE I can render up to 10 cells and still maintain 60fps. With OpenMW if I tried that then the game would go full potato. That's not to say that OpenMW won't get there eventually, because I'm confident it will. But right now your best option is MGE.

* Oh yeah and if you use MGE then you can have animated grass with your distant land too.
