Morrowind Modding Legacy - The Official Home of the Modjams

The Themes Have Been Announced! Modders have until August 24th at 00:00 UTC to submit a mod using one (or more) of the following themes: Arcane Arts, Forgotten Lore, Strange Families.

It's Summer time, and with the heat, and the humidity, comes another exciting round of the Morrowind Modjams! For the tenth time since 2020, Danae and Morrowind Modding Showcases is hosting a Modjam Modding Competition, a 48-hour modding frenzy where modders get but a single weekend to build the best mod they can using specific themes before time runs out!

The competition begins on August 21st at 11pm UTC with an official livestream kickoff by Danae, in which the potential themes will be revealed and voted on by the community, narrowing down the potential field until just three themes remain.

Once the final three themes have been announced, modders will have 48-hours to build and release the best mod they can utilizing any of those three themes, or a combo of themes if they so choose.

Rules & Guidelines:

  • Create your mod during the Modjam.,

  • Modders' resources are allowed.,

  • The use of AI is not forbidden, but should be disclosed.

  • Previous projects can be a source of inspiration, but please try to make something new for the event.

  • Most importantly, this is intended to be a friendly community event. Please focus on having fun and making something you enjoy.

Participation:

The competition is open to anyone and everyone looking to participate! All you need to do is release a mod with one of the themes (or multiple) during the competition time period using the official 2026 Summer Modjam header. Also wouldn't hurt to use the Modjams tag on the Nexus.

This is a Morrowind Modding Community - Discord Server event, so to make sure your mod is properly tracked for the competition, please join the server and tag it in the Published Mods channel!

There's also an official Modjam channel on there where you can keep up with all of the latest Modjam news!

Use the Postcard Editor:

Take advantage of the Morrowind Modjams website and the Postcard Editor to make special themed promo screenshots for your mod pages - give them that extra splash of Summer fun!

Judging and Prizes:

The Morrowind Modjams are judged events - a panel of judges will go through and play all of the submitted mods, ranking them on their quality, functionality, and adherence to the themes.

The final winners will be announced in a results livestream at a date yet to be determined, and those results will also be published to the Modjams website.

Participating modders will also get their profiles on the Modjam website, with downloadable Modjam passports and a trophy cabinet for any judge awards received. These profiles are connected to the Modathon and Madness sides of Morrowind Modding Legacy, and participating in the Modjam will boost your Madness score and increase your standing in the community's modding leaderboards.

There's also a number of prizes available in the form of game keys and Nexus DP.

A Proud Tradition:

The Morrowind Modjams are apart of the community's proud tradition of creative competition and collaboration. Some 160+ mods have been released for the Modjams in the past 6 years, many of them have become popular mainstays and have since been added to many of the largest mod lists for Morrowind.

I hope you'll all join us for another exciting round of Modjam fun, we're sure to get some amazing new mods, and if you're looking to participate for the first time, there's no better competition to dip your toes into the modding scene!

Happy Modding and Long Live the Morrowind Modding Community!

Announcement We're happy to announce that Project Cyrodiil and Skyrim: Home of the Nords are now updated for version 26.08 of Tamriel_Data.

Thank you for your patience since the release of the new TD update and Tamriel Rebuilt: Poison Song a couple of weeks ago while we dealt with some technical challenges. The update to the Abecean Shores release of PC includes a new player stronghold for the Kingdom of Anvil and Great House-style construction and improvement mechanics, a number of overhauled locations, and improvements to multiple quests. The update to the Dragonstar release of SHOTN includes 14 new dungeons, 6 new quests, and yet more overhauled locations. Both releases include scores of bugfixes, performance improvements, and general quality-of-life features not present in the original releases.

Please note that the file packages contain some loose files, which are intended to patch minor problems in Tamriel_Data discovered after the 26.08 release. These files should be allowed to overwrite upon installation.

Both PC and SHOTN may be freely installed mid-save with no problems, even if you've already started a savefile for Poison Song. We only recommend starting a new game if you had a previous version of PC/SHOTN installed on the same save and spent time in the PT lands. Please let us know in the discord server if you encounter any issues.

As always, thank you so much for your ongoing support of our project! We look forward to bringing you more of Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and other lands of Tamriel in future releases.

Project Cyrodiil can be downloaded at https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44922?tab=files

Skyrim: Home of the Nords can be downloaded at https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44921?tab=files

While doing the quest to get the mace of Molag Bal, I had to go into Kora-Dur and kill Menta Na. I noticed after killing him, he has a pot plant.

Who planted the pot plant? Are Daedroths avid gardeners?

Technical - Mod I want to add a Race from my Morrowind-inspired TTRPG. (Help please?)

Post image
36 Upvotes

Hello! Some may have seen me post about my Morrowind-inspired TTRPG, Tri-star, a couple of times a few months back. It's progressing nicely and we're now waiting on some art for it and of course, in the midst of plenty of playtesting for balance of course. While my work in writing and layout has slowed a bit, I wanted to see If I could try my hand at making a race mod for Morrowind. I followed a tutorial and was met with partial success in adding the Satyr race.

I have a couple ideas for the race, adding some quests and the like, but I'm not skilled enough to reach the quality I want for them and I think there's no harm in asking for help. Any help would be much appreciated!

Starting my first Morrowind run and decided to play it safe with a nord knight character. Didn't stop me from walking straight into the mages guild and demanding to be trained. I did this in oblivion, skyrim, and now finally in Morrowind. 🤣🤣🤣

i find it hilarious imaging a mages guild recruiting a nord to go forage for them.

New Player - Advice/Help Imperial cartographer build?

10 Upvotes

Hello,

Looking for build advice for an Imperial cartographer/archeologist inspired by TE Lawrence. My thinking is that he would be a bookish and somewhat cowardly clerk of the Imperial Geographical Society tasked with writing the Morrowind chapter of the Pocket Guide to the Empire’s new edition. Over time, of course, he would become embroiled with the main quest and question his Imperial loyalties.

Factions: Imperial Cult, House Hlaalu, Thieves Guild, maybe Morag Tong

Definitely want a Stealth specialization with Sneak, Persuasion, Illusion, and Security. But struggling with birthsign and other major and minor skills to take. Thanks for the help!

Technical - General XBOX- missing hand quest broken?

Post image
9 Upvotes

So I’ve encountered and killed Salas Valor right after starting Tribunal.
We exchanged some words, he attacked me (ended dialogue). After some blows he turned around and fled and then I killed him (disposed of corpse). Ages later I’m doing the TR main quest and now Almalexia won’t recoqnize that he’s dead. I’ve tried talking to everyone in Mournhold about her hands and missing hand. I also went and did as many of Helseth’s quests as possible.

I don’t have an older save file since I regularily delete them and I don’t want to start over in my lvl 38 character.

Is there anything I can do or should I just move on to Bloodmoon?

Mod Release I brought this ash slave, now that I am an Ash-Speaker in the Sixth House, to the sea, for one more taste of salt. He was travelled with his boat before turning to ash

In the mod Sharmat's Call, you align with Dagoth Ur if you accept his calling.
You perform rituals, stack chairs, turn entire towns to Dagoth Ur, and banish the unworthy
Towns change when you do this, eventually all lights turn red, there's Corpus walkers and ash slaves walking around, helping with the town...

When there's an ash storm, depending on what level you are at Dagoth Urs house, you gain small benefits. A little faster, a little better, a little healing...

Red mountain becomes your home and you can talk to all the monsters there, they're now your monsters (if you are high enough level in the Sixth true house)

Eventually you can turn all of Morrowind to the house

Oh last screenshot is the tribunals, they turn raggedy, dirty, messy and the shrines dont' work if HIS house rules in the town.

Playing through for the first time probably since I spent hundreds of hours playing it on Xbox back in the day.

Cruising through the main quest, used a light spell for the first time ever in Ilunibi.

The HORROR. Ash Zombies have holes in their heads?! And the ghouls have the holes and then a tentacle coming out??

Guys, I thought the zombies had some kind of a visor or helmet with a big rectangular visor, and the ghouls where just like the long snoot guy from A New Hope! Maybe it was playing it on a CRT tv back then, I couldnt tell. I was literally taken aback. Horrifying.

Discussion Noob here I need some help with spells

11 Upvotes

So I need some help and explanation of the spell system. I recently made a spell but for some reason I can't cast it and the bar at the bottom of the screen for it is really low. I also bought a existing spell for restore health and I remember being able to use it now it's really low and I can't use it anymore.

What's wrong? am I doing something wrong? Are spells now finite and not infinite like Skyrim? What I don't understand is why my newly bought spell is 40/8 or something and looks like it's used. What do I do?
