HG Morrowind Gateway Maintained by LDones.

Herein you'll find a collection of downloads for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, some created/put together by me, others just for kicks and/or because I think they're of great utility/quality and haven't seen so much exposure. Feel free to do whatever you like w/ my mods, so long as credit is given where it's due.

Mods by LDones
Thief Experience Overhaul-LD v1.3b - Updated 1/12/03 - 37k - Put together from a month's worth of research & discussion, this mod was created in an effort to give thieves and stealth-skilled characters in Morrowind a more interesting and rewarding experience, and fixes a number of glaring imbalances in the way some of the thief-oriented systems were implemented in-game.  Improves Lockpicking, Traps, Open Spells, and adds Stealth/Sneaking enhancements based on Weather and Time-of-Day. Available in two versions:

Tribunal Version (Recommended)  and  Non-Tribunal Version

I suggest also using Armor Effects 1.5b and Wakim's Game Improvements with this mod, for a further enhanced game experience.

Armor Effects-LD v2.0-WD (Tribunal Required) - NEW! Version re-coded by WDog - Updated 3/18/03 - 24k - For a touch of realism, wearing restrictive, bulky Medium or Heavy Armors with this mod will now bring a cumulative Sneak Penalty. Heavy Armor will also cause a slight Agility Penalty, making Light Armor or going Unarmored more attractive prospects for the thief-on-the-go.  If the Agility Penalty seems too unattractive, a non-Agility-altering version of the plug-in is also included.

Download it here

NOTE: Armor Effects was designed to run in conjunction w/ the Stealth Enhancements plug-in, in the Thief Experience Overhaul.  I highly recommend running that plug-in in addition to this one, as well as the Armor Effects-Armor Balance Companion, and the Dodge Mod  for a more immersive and interesting thieving/sneaking experience.

Armor Effects - Armor Balance Companion - 1.0 (Tribunal Required) - Updated 3/18/03 - 19k - In response to working on the Armor Effects Plug-In, I've made an attempt to rebalance the in-game armors to address some inconsistencies & balance issues.  Armor Rating, Weight, Health/Durability, and Gold Value have been tweaked for nearly all armor in the game, in hopes to make each armor type worthwhile and attractive to different kinds of players.

Download it here

NOTE: The armor settings in this mod are what I have for my personal use, and many may disagree with these values. The Gold Value of higher-end armors has been brought down & re-scaled fairly significantly and some armors may still be too easily obtainable for their quality/value.

Dodge Mod (Enhanced) 1.2-WD (Tribunal Required) - Originally created by Horatio - New version re-coded by WDog - Updated 3/18/03 - 8k - Unarmored is now a far more formidable skill with this plug-in, based on a mod by Horatio. Playing Unarmored now grants the player a Dodge/Sanctuary bonus based on skill level, making him/her harder to hit the higher it goes. Wearing armor will deplete and/or nullify this bonus, and only high-evel characters can retain some bonus while wearing more then one or two pieces.  This version takes advantage of Tribunal scripting functions so, unlike the previous version, raising other Armor skills will no longer nullify your dodge bonus.  Wizards, monks and fashion conscious rogues rejoice!

Nighttime Door Locks-LD 1.1a - Originally created by Rasputin - Updated 6/23/03 - 28k - Citizens and Shopkeepers across Vvardenfell will now lock their doors at night - from 9pm to 8am, houses and shops in every city on the island are closed. (Inns, Guild Halls, certain Tradehouses, and other appropriate buildings excepted). Makes wandering the nights of Vvardenfell feel a bit more appropriately lonely & spooky and gives Thieves and Stealth-oriented characters a self-replenishing source of locks to practice their skills on.

Helm of Sheogorath v1.5-LD - Originally created by Cody Frear - 10k - The Helm of Sheogorath is an artifact both prized and feared by magicians of Tamriel. Legend says that a clipping of Sheogorath's hair was crafted into the helm by the long-dead smith. Embued with a piece of the Mad Lord, it grants great power, but at what cost, none are sure - save to say that whatever boon it may grant, the sheer, overpowering insanity of Sheogorath is likely not far behind.  A quick, clean, cavern romp with some nice atmosphere and a strange reward.
