About this mod
Blanks every journal entry in Morrowind, Bloodmoon, and Tribunal. Intended for use with mods that allow you to write your own journal entries.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Actually the first (and, for about 15 years, only) mod I ever released, which I completely forgot about until I stumbled across a mention of it on Tumblr a couple years back. Just adding it to Nexus for posterity now that I'm doing more of the modding thing in other games. Thanks to whoever submitted it to Morrowind Modding History for keeping it around.
(Fun fact: outside of testing it, I never actually used this mod myself.)
What It Does
What It Doesn't
Recommendations
Back in the day this was intended almost exclusively for use with Journal Enhanced, which it looks like you can now find at Writing and Journal Enhanced, which in turn requires Morrowind Enhanced, but they are not hard requirements if you just don't want any form of in-game journal. A quick poke around Nexus also turned up MWSE 2.1 Journal Search and Edit as an alternative relying on MWSE, and if my understanding of what it does is correct it's probably a better all-in-one solution if you want to keep a fully custom journal since you can just rewrite the entries the game adds to your journal. DIYJK is more for the weirdo RP purist who doesn't even want to see the game's idea of what they should consider important.
Known Issues
This mod will not affect journal entries in an existing save, only those that are added while this mod is active. From my own tests, it appears that you can freely swap this mod into and out of your game without any ill effect. So if you're in a mood to play but don't feel like writing that particular day, go ahead and unload it and let Morrowind keep track of the important stuff for you until you're up to it again.
Dialogue windows no longer display alerts for journal updates, but pop-ups outside dialogue will still appear.
The original readme reminds me that there may be one quest this mod creates a problem for: the weather control device quest in Tribunal may only notify you via journal entry that you've found the combination you're looking for, so you may want to keep a walkthrough on hand to remind you what to do there if there is in fact no other indicator of success.

What It Does
- Deletes the text of every journal entry in Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon. When Morrowind finds the text of an activated journal entry empty it won't even add the date of the entry to the journal.
- Your journal remains completely blank of anything related to the base game & DLCs unless you write in it yourself with the help of another mod. (See Recommendations below.)
What It Doesn't
- Change any IDs or values associated with journal entries. Quest progress will play out as normal.
- Prevent you from reviewing dialogue using keywords, either in Topics or those you include yourself if your journal editor allows that.
- Change Quest Titles. If you attempt to browse your journal by quest, you won't see any entries but can at least see the titles of things you've gotten involved in.
- Touch journal entries added by other mods.
