Download link. For downloading, installing, and managing these mods and others, we recommend the Nexus Mod Manager. Before I begin, I would like to take the time to mention that this guide is aimed at the absolute beginner. That is, someone who wishes to install and use mods for Morrowind, but has no prior TES modding experience or is completely new to modding in general.
So I will be explaining topics in detail that some of you more experienced readers may want to skip. The installation of Morrowind will appear to be a strange place to begin a guide on modding, but getting the installation right will avoid some issues that might appear in the future. Because Morrowind was developed for Windows XP, there are a couple of issues that arise due to the increased security when installing to the default C:Program Files directory.
The second issue that you may experience is downloaded mods not appearing. The fourth option is the most recommended as it avoids any security issues that options one and two present, and it is far less of a hassle than option three. I also recommend reinstalling Morrowind if you already have it installed in the C:Program Files directory.
While it is a hassle to have to reinstall the game, doing so now will save you a lot of time and frustration down the road. Also, take note of where you installed Morrowind. You'll be going into Morrowind's folders a lot when using mods. Typically for installation. Once you are happy with Morrowind's installation location, you can move onto installing Tribunal and then Bloodmoon, in that order. There is no need to install the Tribunal patch before installing Bloodmoon, as patch 1.
Once both expansions are installed, I recommend running Morrowind, starting a new game, and playing until you exit the Census and Excise office.
This is just to test your installation to make sure that there are no major issues, and that Morrowind and your OS are playing nicely. The game folder is best identified as the folder that contains Morrowind. To find it you must go to where you have installed Morrowind.

To navigate to this example directory, go to Computer found in the start menu XP users will have this as My Computer. At the top will be a list of the installed hard drives there may only be the one , we need the one that ends with C:.
Once here find a folder called Program Files , once in there now find Bethesda Softworks. Within here you should see a folder called Morrowind. Open it. You should now be able to see Morrowind.
If not, look for a file simply called Morrowind. The Data Files folder or just data folder is where all of the data that the game uses is stored. That's the music, textures, meshes, etc. This is also where all mods are installed, and where their data again the meshes, textures, music, etc is stored. To find the data folder, first make sure that you are looking at the game folder. From here you should see a folder called Data Files.
That's the folder we need, open it up and you should see more folders marked as Meshes , Textures , etc. Though don't worry if you don't. You should also see some files called Morrowind. These are master files. Mods are similar to these, but would end with. These are called plugin files.
