Description:
--------------------------
This is a texture replacer that gives Morrowind a watercolored look.

Every single texture in the game is covered, making this mod an easy drag and drop replacement for the whole game plus the expansions as well as many mods.

You can find many screenshots here:

As seen in the screenshots the mod goes great together with MGE XE. You can find my MGE settings on the mod's nexus page.

To make this mod I just applied a watercolor effect to the original textures so everything looks pretty much like the original game plus watercolor effect, which does a good job at hiding the low resolution of the original textures. It goes surprisingly well with Morrowind's original handpainted look and the low poly meshes.

The problem with the big amount of graphic replacers for Morrowind in my opinion is that many of them are not very faithful to the original art style. They where made by many different authors with different tastes, techniques and skill levels. This causes a fully graphics modded game, like you get from MGSO for example, to look pretty inconsistent and cobbled together. Not to mention the technical flaws which have a big impact on performance and loading times.

The intention behind my mod is to provide an easy to install alternative to those graphics replacers, which is much lighter on the performance and looks consistent and harmonic with the unique vanilla coloring and style.

Many of those are made by the kind community members Lucas9 and wildbane. Thanks guys!
