Any general tips you guys could give me, or link me the any great Morrowind Construction Set tutorials?
Also, is there a place where you can download the Morrowind character 3D models and edit them? Is there a (free) 3D model maker program that is compatible with Morrowind?
Is there?! :mrgreen:

Also, how do you write original books in Morrowind?

Wow, thanks! :D

I checked it out, and I'm still wondering about some stuff.
For example, when I try to make a book, I can't find the icon needed to animate the book. Is there a place I can download those NIF files that are in the game?

All the files for the game should be in the BSAs.

If you have installed it via Steam all the BSAs are in the Data folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\common\Morrowind\Data Files

My computer says 'can't open up unknown file'
Is there a program I can use to extract the files?

Yeah, there are links to BSA Managers in the first link I gave you.

Extracting the files won't effect my save game.. I'll still be able to play, right?

Yes. It's like opening a .zip file. The BSA will still exist, but you'll also have copies of the files inside the BSA.

We're here. No need to double post.

Did you try all of the BSA Managers that were listed?

If I might give you some advice: editing 3D models is very hard and it takes a lot of time to learn any 3D modeling software (you can't do this in the Construction Set, by the way). If you want mod Morrowind, I suggest you learn the basics of the Construction Set before you specialize in a certain area (like modeling). Read through "Morrowind Mod Maker's Manual" available for download here. It's comprehensive and really good for beginners. There are also a lot of good tutorials available on Tamriel Rebuilt's website.
