Folks have been working on Tamriel Rebuilt for nearly 20 years now. I think preliminary work started as soon as Bethesda announced the game would be limited to the island of Vvardenfell. The project did go through some doldrums in the mid-'10s, but was reinvigorated once it set up a Discord server and brought in some new talent.

Tamriel Rebuilt/Project Tamriel Map

The lighter areas on the map (Morrowind, the Reach, and the Island of Stirk) are the places you can actually visit as a player (though I should caution that southern Morrowind is basically a big flat expanse of nothing right now). There are also plans to do work on Yokuda and the Padomaic Isles.

Thanks for the welcome!

First off let me say it is good to see you here, WellTemperedClavier.

Tamriel Rebuilt is one of the best land mass mods I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Much has been added to it since I last played with it in 2017. If you just like to walk around exploring then another good land mod is Melchior Dahrk's Lyithdonea - The Azurian Isles ALPHA. Very much unfinished but beautiful to view.

Funny you mention that, we were just talking about Lyithdonea on the TR or PT server. I was thinking I might download that and take a look around. The screenshots are fantastic.

Also, I like the Planescape: Torment reference in your signature!

This mod just came out and seems pretty interesting.

Basically, it lets you create books and sell them in-game.

I just got this grand idea: elves have better vision, according to some of the old books, their vision is supposed to be sharper. And so the idea: I'll be using some sort of overall texture mod for Morrowind. When I play a game with an elf protagonist, that's when the mod will be on.

I already have MGE but is there something which makes textures even more acute? I just typed "Quarl" into the search at Nexus, and nothing came up. Tried Quarls... Quarl's .... Quarl's Texture Pack... nothing.

Qarl doesn’t have much for Morrowind. You might look into MelchiorDahrk’s
Adjustable Landscape Texture Scale at Morrowind Nexus - mods and community (nexusmods.com).

Thank you, macole. I've already installed some other overhaul: Morrowind Enhanced Textures. Really am pleased with it. Am looking at the wood grain on a counter in Clagius Clanler's Outfitter shop as I type this. Have I noticed that before? I don't think I have.

As I switch to Joan's game I'm going to turn the texture mod off. Partially because she's supposed to have different vision qualities, but also I want to notice all the little differences as they go away and come back.

Anyhow, thanks!

And thank you for pointing me to Morrowind Enhanced Textures. It looks great.

You got me browsing Morrowind texture mods and it is amazing how advanced they have become in the past 5-6 years.

Right, the DESCRIPTION page says this: In 2018 there was very few ways to give an image a higher resolution,
but when a new type of upscaler called ESRGAN was released, that changed.
Since then both the technology and our technique has grown considerably. -- So there we have it.

MET is a really huge mod! It took like 20 minutes to install. Almost every object or terrain feature has been overhauled. I never used Quarl's for TES4 because I value those 60 fps over better textures, whenever I can get 'em. After years of 30 fps on the consoles, seeing what 60 can do was enough eye-candy!

But my computer destroys Morrowind. It's always wandering past 60, even with the limiter on.
