What you want to do first is download Patch for Purists-
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45096
Morrowind Code Patch-
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510
These two mods will fix many of the errors you run across. They don't touch graphics but this is the first step to getting a stable game.
The next mod you will want that adds the ability to enhance the graphics is MGE XE-
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102
MGE XE will allow custom resolutions, anti aliasing, new shaders like depth of field, sun shafts, new water particles, and it increases render distance ten fold. These 3 mods are the essential to modding Morrowind from the start. What I suggest doing is downloading small graphical mods one by one, it takes time but it makes something great. The fast way will cause errors.
One last word of advice, install all of the mods you download manually. Morrowind is an old game so it isn't very fond of mod managers, most of the time the mods will not work correctly and cause errors.
Best of luck.
Damn, Morrowind is the best Elder Scrolls game so far, so many fantastic moments in the game! I wish there would be a remake with bugfixes and adaption to actual hardware...
Hi mate.
I followed all of your steps here very carefully.
It looks better but now im only getting 15 fps. I was in the low 200's before modding.
I have an i9-9900, 32 gb DDR4, RTX 2080 Super.
Any ideas mate?
cheers
For example, in game menu set Draw Distance to 50-70% and to 2 cells in MGE XE, then disable Dynamic shadows and shaders (like depth of field, Bloom). Etc, etc.. until you get a comfy fps.

Hi mate.
I got to step 26 but i cannot find the MWSE Update.exe.
I went over all the downloads and can only find MWSE mentioned in steps 11, 12, and 16.
Any ideas mate?
Cheers.
It comes with MGE-XE. If it's not there then you missed this step/extracted MGE-XE in wrong location or downloaded the installer instead of an archive[www.nexusmods.com].
P.S. Btw, I wrote these steps in an order that implies that every time mod files conflict with each other you should overwrite conflicting files on each step. If you do something wrong, then I am afraid you have to start over.
29. Tick all .esm and .esp files in the Mods tab.
In this step there were ESP files as well. I left them unticked. Only ticked the lowercase files.
Was this correct or did i need to tick the uppercase ones as well?
Cheers
