Morrowind May Modathon 2025
For anyone new to the Modathon, the May Modathon is an annual event hosted by the Morrowind modding community that celebrates creativity and sharing among modders of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Last year, over 170 mods were uploaded and shared on the site, and we can't wait to see what everyone creates this year.
A huge shoutout to the hosts of the event, darkelfguy and Danae123, who have organised and run this community tradition for the past 11 years, as well as everyone in the Morrowind modding scene who takes part each year.
You can find all the information you need, in a lot more detail, on the Modathon forum post here.
Here’s a message from the hosts:
May 1st marks Morrowind's 23rd anniversary. For nearly a quarter of a century now, Morrowind has entertained and inspired players and modders alike, and now, once again, we're celebrating the anniversary of Morrowind's release with the eleventh annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition!
Over the last 23 years, Morrowind modders have expanded the game with new lands, new provinces, new dungeons and adventures, even new gameplay mechanics, from multiplayer to real-time crafting and survival, to settlement building and more. It's that spirit of creativity and innovation that we celebrate each year with the annual Modathon, a month-long free-for-all modding competition for Morrowind's amazing community!
From May 1st through to June 2nd, modders can submit mods, earn dozens of unique achievement badges, win prizes, and more by submitting their mods with the May Modathon 2025 tag or using the 2025 Morrowind Modathon header in their mod description! Once again this year, we have an exciting assortment of over 90 different achievement badges modders can unlock with their mods, with achievements for competing in weekly themed challenges, category achievements, metric achievements, bronze, silver and gold achievements, and a number of hidden achievements - how many can you find? For a full list, check out our announcement thread over on the forums!
The Modathon has come a long way over the last decade, since 2015 it has became the single largest annual modding competition in The Elder Scrolls community, and with your help, we can continue that tradition by celebrating Morrowind in the best possible way - by making Morrowind bigger and better than ever with tons of new mods!
For those looking to join in with the 2025 Morrowind Modathon, participation is simple - any Morrowind mod released in May can be entered into the competition! Just remember to include the tagline "Part of the May Modathon Month" (or the 2025 Morrowind Modathon header) near the top of your mod's description, or use the Modathon 2025 tag to enter your mod as part of the competition. Submitted mods will automatically be entered to potentially win our weekly random-drawing prizes, and of course, unlock achievements!
For more information, including rules, links to tutorials for first-time modders, and a complete list of achievements, check out our official announcement thread here on the Nexus forums or stop by our Discord channel!
As I always say, the best games never die! Happy modding and long live the Morrowind Modding Community!
Now, let’s take a closer look at the weekly theme challenges and the achievement badges up for grabs throughout the event.
Be sure to use the May Modathon 2025 tag, created specifically for the event, to enter your mod submissions!
As always, a big thank you to both Danae123 and darkelfguy for all the work they put into running this event each year. We absolutely love seeing what you all create for it!
