accessibility mods that make Morrowind more like Skyrim?

[Zoob Mer]

Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game and I really enjoyed it. I recently got morrowind, and am having trouble getting into it. I want some mods to help make the game easier to get into. based solely on a handful of hours of play, here is what I need:

• the journal in the game is way too clunky. I need a mod that cleans it up, and makes it easy to know where all the quest objectives are on the world map.
  
• I don't like the fact that minor and miscellaneous skills level up so slowly. I want a scaler mod that makes all skills level up at the same speed, regardless of whether or not they are part of my class

that's everything I've noticed so far. if there are other things I missed, please suggest those mods as well.
edit: after reading the comments, I have realized this fandom far too hostile. I have decided not to associate with it any more. I am unsubbing from this tread.

When a dirty casual try's to play Morrowind lol

I mean you did say Morrowind was a dirty casual experience, so who else would play it if not dirty casuals?

Lol,either your trolling or your legitimately autistic.Not once,did I ever call Morrowind a casual experience.Not "once".This whole time I've been praising Morrowind for its revolutionary gameplay and mechanics.Its infinitely deep role playing,and it's rich story and lore the world of Morrowind has to offer.This whole time you have clearly not payed attention to any of my posts.Its actually hilarious how oblivious you are to my whole point.😭

I know your asking for help to make morrowind more like skyrim.But what your asking is to make morrowind casual.Your taking away from the overall enjoyment by doing this.Trust me,this is why the majority of older elder scrolls fans would greatly prefer Morrowind over skyrim or oblivion.Skyrim is a a extremely casual experience compared to Morrowind.Just don't go into expecting skyrim only older.Because it's not that,I highly recommend you play Morrowind without any mods,or at least at first until you go thru your journey the first time around.I was just like you when I first got morrowind it was difficult to get into.But trust me,just put a bit more time into it and you'll must likely be absorbed by the culture and everything else the game has to offer.Its not a casual experience,it doesn't hold your hand thru everything like the later casual games.I remember the layout of the towns and cities in morrowind better than I do in skyrim.You know why,because it doesn't give you marker on where your supposed to go.It gives you directions and warnes you of danger in the journal from the people that give you your quest.It sacrifices accessabilty and casualness for immersion and skill.An other words,just play the first time without mods,because once you get into it,it's most likely going to be the best RPG you ever played.The game is so rewarding as well for all the hard work you did.Morrowind makes you work to get somewhere,it's not like the later games where the world revolves around you.In Morrowind you are just like everybody else.This in my opinion was one of the last hardcore amazing Bethesda games.The ones that were truly groundbreaking.This was a true adventure.

I actually made this same post about oblivion... it also has the same problems.

Most leveling mods remove minor, major difference afaik. I love the perk limitation and freeform game-time character creation of Skyrim, though perk limitation could have been more strict.

You can change game settings from construction set if you want to get your hands dirty. Making mods is child's play for Morrowind.

Defaults are not that bad.

For your journal request. No markers, sorry. It may be technically impossible or just too much work. I can remind you that the journal is not that bad, there is a submenu which shows active/ completed quests and sorts specific quest's journal entries. It would be indeed impossible to play the game without this feature.

Also, the game originally came with a giant colored paper map. It is so much fun to play it with a map at hand, making it easy to find things and learn the geography. I strongly recommend getting it on your second monitor or phone/tablet, or just print it! It is essential for a real Morrowind experience, there are even treasure markers on it!

May I just say this has to be the most stupid and idiotic thread of comments in history I have ever read lol. While I would not reccomend mods on a first playthrough, that doesn't mean that you absolutely cannot have them, they're there for a reason as some people don't seem to understand.

Anyways as this original discussion was SUPPOSED to be about rather than whining about how Skyrim is not an RPG, I'll give you a list of mods that might make it easier to get into and when you're done with your first playthrough with them maybe you can go commando and try the original experience.

1. Morrowind Code Patch- If you're not playing with this then you should get it immediately, it fixes a whole bunch of bugs and it's really easy to install.
2. Accurate Attack- While it may make some fights much more easier it makes Morrowind a little bit more comfortable to come to after playing Oblivion or Skyrim.
3. Passive Cliffracers- Say what you want about how pretty much "casual" it is for making these creatures actually tolerable, this is pretty much a must for anyone even experts of Morrowind since cliffracers have been known to be nearly and completely unneccesary as they get in the way of the true fun of the game.
4. Keyring- I don't have to explain why this is going to be useful.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any alternative to the clunky journal system but I might add another post if I do.

All of these can be found on the nexus if I am correct, and if they aren't, then something like them should show up.

Some additional tips:
-Listen to what NPCs say, they can hold very important info on where to go and what to do. This is basically "the compass" of Morrowind.
-If you're having trouble with a fight, come back later and try again with better gear and skill. There's nothing wrong with running from a fight in Morrowind as unlike Oblivion and Skyrim enemies don't level with you, they level up on their own.
-Don't start Tribunal or Bloodmoon on a particular low level until you are level 30 or something like that, and have completed the main quest. The reasons are that I got my ass kicked by enemies when I went to Solstheim and Mournhold way too soon and the dlcs are meant to be played after the main quest for continuity and plot reasons.
-Use mages guild teleportation from city to city for quickness and the cheap price.

I'm sorry for you having to deal with this argument thread but hopefully you find this useful amidst the chaos. Good luck and have fun in your journey through Vvardenfell!

I'm just going to say this to save you from getting crazy morrowind fan bombing your profile comments

Morrowind Rules

Rule 1. NEVER EVER BRING SKYRIM IN TO THE FORMS OR SAY SKYRIM > MORROWIND

Rule 2. The game is old and thus it has limits for what "cool mods" it can get (Skyrim macanics)

Rule 3. NEVER SAY YOU WANT TO BRING TES IV, V INTO MORROWIND FOR THAT KIND OF THING IS LIKE POISON TO MORROWIND'S FAN BASE

Rule 4. if your some 12-14 year old that's only played Skyrim then stop step back and don't complain about the games grathics, text chat, difficalty level, and controls TES:III fans get triggered badly

Rule 5. Don't Brack the 5 Tenets like you won't brack the Dark Brotherhood's 5 Tenets

Skyrim > Morrowind

Ill admit it is kind of hard to get into morrowind but just wait once you get into the quest and stuff you wont want to play skyrim anymore

Or they'll see what a great improvement Oblivion and Skyrim were over Morrowind and they'll want to play Skyrim even more.

[Paul27367]

making a game fit for casuals isnt what id call improvement we dont even see any good RPG games anymore. Im not necessarily saying oblivion and skyrim are bad but they are definitely not better than morrowind

They're leaps and bounds ahead of it. Though they're no more casual than Morrowind. And there's plenty of good RPGs around for those who want to play them. Remember: older isn't necessarily better!

[Paul27367]

Very true but modern RPG games now adays are just so much for linear, like go here kill that thing then grab that thing, then repeat 500 times over 300 hours and the game is over

That's not any different from any other genre or time period in gaming.


That's also not related to linearity.

[Paul27367]

but at least in morrowind they encouraged you to explore now we just use fast travel and ignore the rest of the world. It feels fake to me
