Which mods please?

Oblivion and Skyrim player

Which mods to Install for this game?

Movement is ultra slow, is there a speed mod

[Chaosolous]

As far as mods go, the only few that are almost always recommended are:

Morrowind Code Patch: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510

Morrowind Script Extender: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45468

Morrowind Graphic Extender: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102

There's also the option to play the game using OpenMW instead of going through all that.

https://openmw.org/

This is my recommendation, especially if your PC is using modern hardware; but the community is split on this advice. OpenMW has a built in mod manager and many of the "fixes" that these mods provide are built into the engine.

there is a speed attribute which affects your speed - and it can be increased as you level, or boosted using magic/potions etc - i think the athletics skill will also make you faster

also be aware that one of the parts of the code patch (not sure if it is optional), stops you from being able to spam potions - so reduces the opportunity to boost your speed that way

and the Morrowind Graphics Extender XE is great - giving you distant land and a far view distance (like the later games but arguably better in some ways due to the way it is done) - i haven't used OpenMW, but it is very popular and i assume it has all that graphics enhancement baked in

[Chaosolous]

Another option if you're really annoyed by the speed of your character is to use the Console Commands to just increase Speed. It's cheating technically, but not much more than a mod TBH.

To do this:

While in the game press the ` button on the keyboard (below ESC normally).

Enter the following text without quotes and press enter: "player->setspeed 100"

100 is the value that the speed would be set to for the player. 100 Speed is rather high though (it's the max natural stat number you can get). If you want to be faster or slower, use a higher or lower number.

[Drizzt]

yeah - i tend to stop increasing my base speed attribute by about 70 max - so that my character doesn't feel too fast normally - and then i use potions for super speed lol

[Boutus]

movement will get much faster as your speed skill increases, if you want, at the start, just console this - setspeed 90

mods, go to nexus and get a better faces mod, and I STRONGLY advise to get Tamriel Rebuilt, it contains a HUGE amount of the Morrowind mainland so far to the point where it's almost like a fantasy life/world sim instead of a mere RPG game, and remember, on that note it is not a Skyrim action game with RPG elements, it's an RPG game, there will be long periods where you don't have to or need to kill enemies.

I'd recommend a mod called Tamriel Rebuilt I have not played this mod yet but I really really want to this mod it adds the mainland of Morrowind to the game in the dlcs we already get to visit Mournhold but this mod lets you explore the rest of the mainland but this mod is still work in progress I think it has been in progress for decades for years since the since around 2002 2003 2005 2004 I think about one of those years but it is still in development but this mod is really really fun I think and I can't wait to play it.
There is also another mod that adds a new island to the game but I don't really know if you can get it I want to play it but I don't know how still but it adds a new island to the game with cities and someone compared this new island to city 17 from Half Life series and I think it looks like that aswell.

For a new player I would not recommend adding anything but stability, bug fixing and possibly graphics mods and the missing official dlc.

As Chaosolous said, MCP (Morrowind Code Patch) and MGE XE (graphics extender) or OpenMW. The script extender doesn't do anything by itself, which would make it redundant.

For game bugs, the Patch for Purists: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45096

Optional:
- Expansion Delay (delays the expansions and reduces interference): https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47588

- Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched (patched versions of the free dlc that's missing from the steam version): https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43931

- Morrowind Enhanced Textures (upscales the games textures): https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46221

^ Due to height and weight differences in race and how animations work etc; male orcs are the fastest. There's also the Steed Birthsign or you could pick acrobatics and/or athletics as one of your skills.

If you must use a mod though, there's Run Faster: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42796

Open Morrowind AND Tamriel REbuilt- but BE ADVISED- the unpacking process for HD quality meshes and mats versions of everything can literally take HOURS...but...once installed- you have sea and surface mass ..5X (?) greater than JUST original Morrowind island, with many additional quests, dialogue, homes and ruins etc. al. Openmorrowind ALSO helps with mod loading, increasing resolution and a bunch of other QOL improvements built into it.

Movement is slow because you don't know how to play. Its a common for new players to have the same issues.

[doublejesus]

No mods needed look up where to get "boots of blinding speed", make yourself a 100% magic resist for 1 second spell(or less depending on your racial) before putting them on(time freezes during menu) and you will not be effected by the blind as long as you don't take the boots off.

If you want to play a beast race or just don't want to use the cheese boots your speed stat as well as character weight effects your move speed.(height does not like in other games) So if you're running heavy armor and lots of weapons you're going want to make a feather spell.

On the road north of Caldera, you'll meet a redguard woman who offers an escort quest. The reward is a pair of boots that drastically increase your speed. It's pretty early on so slow movement won't be much of an issue for long!

The vanilla game has a glitch that will allow you to easily use them effectively in the early game. But without using that glitch you will need some pretty strong additional enchantments in order to use them properly.

[Nebgama]

I wouldn't call Resist Magicka before equipping CE based item a glitch. A spell is literally cast on you when you equip the item.

There is plenty of other legitimate ways to move fast in the game, faster than the boats even.

[Garmollen]

Pretty sure it's an exploit caused by a conflict of mechanics the devs never ironed out.
The resist magicka spell effect should only last for the duration of that spell, not based on the constant effect of the enchanted item. That's the intended balance of the powerful blinding boots.

It's a process of having to use a spell and constantly recast it or find/create another enchanted item to overcome the negative effects.

It makes sense. It's meant to be work for the reward of running 200 pts faster!
