Greetings Friends. The time has come to unveil yet another update, and with that another massive amount of changes. This time I've spent most of my time building a more believable worldspace, so you can expect to see a LOT of changes in that department. Other noteworthy changes are that some spell effects are once again available for spellmaking/enchantning (with more being unlocked in a previous update), and that most vendors will now restock common ingredients. You guys have requested me to bring these features back, and I've listened. With this update comes also new optimized meshes for trees & ships, glow maps for light-sources, hundreds of minor graphical improvements, bugfixes, balance changes and more. I hope you enjoy 5.3!
![[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 5.3](https://button.moddb.com/download/medium/202135.png)
The manor district is now a bit more grand, which only seems fitting considering that House Hlaalu is supposed to be the wealthy house.

Nice work!
sorry, dumb af question but does this mod update the graphics in any way, or does it add any gameplay changes apart from adding new content? if not, is there any mods you recommend running with your mod? thanks!
It updates thousands of models, but very few textures. It also makes a TON of gameplay changes to pretty much every system. More details can be found on the opening page.
Your mod is amazing! I like the part which makes sixth house items contraband especially! I have a question though: Could you make dwemer items contraband too? They are considered contraband lore-wise, because the emperror has monopoly over them.
Why is the shading on those screenshots such a crap? Is that from construction set?
Yeah it's from the construction set.
Okay then. Would you prefer OpenMW over the original engine for your mod?
Sorry for the late reply. I prefer the original, but that's because I wouldn't be able to use mods that require the morrowind script extender.
