just trying to figure out my plan of attack on setting up my morrowwind install

so far i have :

1 MCP

2 timeslip exe optimizer ? which one works well for win10? should i even bother? just use 1.9?

3 4gb patch

5 MPP

6 MGE EX

7 solstheim rumor fix

8 considered delaying tribunal expansion, but ive played morrowind before and never had a problem handeling the assassins and thought they were nice to give gear and extra money selling the gear, what do you guys think?

9 i was interested in adding mods to make picking plants more like oblivion and skyrim
so adding graphic herbalism
and the Julan, Ashlander Companion 2.02 seems really nice too

10 is this important to make sure things run smooth and/or not dirty? http://download.fliggerty.com/download--1079

should i make sure i do the graphic herbalism and companion before running http://download.fliggerty.com/download--1079
(sorry not sure what the file associated with the link is called.)

and can anyone suggest anything that makes alchemy interface more accessible? is there a better/nicer quest log book/journal? is some of that stuff already included in the MCP and im just blind/stupid? any other quality of life suggestions? would be nice if there was a quest marker on the map, haha, but, i understand, immersion wise, why that might not be a good idea.

sorry if any of this is redundant from other postings, i read many, many of them and only feel like i have wrapped my head around 60% of it. used to use MGSO but i read thats kinda old now, especially with some things being updated more recently.

edit: is the order listed somewhat ok for install order?

edit: will i need mlox?

thanks so much for taking the time to read this, your patience and input!!

EDIT: crap , forgot to mark this post as a problem to be solved option, sorry, is there a way to do it from an edit? im not seeing one :(

EDIT 2 : forgot to include MGE EX in list, added just now-- 30 min after---

just stumbled across the offical mini expansions / official plugins that seem really awesome

how to to make sure they are activated/installed correctly?

it sounds like they arent working unless you do something specific

also found "Master Index Journalfix" : https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42482/?

another question about the official plugins, does it include some form of journal fix?

and ... omg im an idiot , thats what " http://download.fliggerty.com/download--1079 " is... sigh sorry again

thanks and sorry for the tons of questions

well i feel a little foolish answering yet another question. i think i found out how to install the optional plugin. i guess you just copy the unziped items into the morrowind data folder? or something similar?

also realized the MCP has some journal improvements but if anyone knows of other good ones im still interested, thanks and sorry!

well i didnt get any responces so ill assume i shouldnt have posted =\ sorry if everything was redundant

i found a nice guide online that helped me quite a bit, i hope it helps someone else

check here if you have any starting beginner modding questions

http://wiki.theassimilationlab.com/mmw/Beginners_Guide

this is a nice video guide for wyre mash and mlox

and this one if a ton of different detailed info on different ones

thanks and good luck

Thanks for posting these links. I've had Morrowind for ages but haven't gotten around to playing it with its full potential due to previous modding difficulties. These should help - thanks :)

wow!

thanks for responding, i was starting to think i had annoyed the whole board :( haha

im so very glad it helped someone instead of annoying people. it definately helped me as well,

i found that some of the advice elsewhere was a clutter of information rattled off in jargon that was a bit much to understand for someone starting out.

the wyre mash is still a bit confusing but i realized i didnt need to use it since each of the minimal mods i chose didnt have any overlapping interests, and mlox does a great job of sorting load order. mlox even has clever/cute/funny automatic messages about different details of the mods your running that ir gives as feedback/advice that pops up automatically once it analyzes what you have
