MORROWIND MODLIST!
Although 300+ mods is always going to be awesome in #Morrowind it's impractical to do for most. Not to mention at some point you'll need a supercomputer. The point of this modlist is to get it as "next gen" as possible while still being something YOU can do. Of course if you want more mods feel free to install more.

REMEMBER TO CHECK EACH MOD'S "REQUIREMENTS" AND GET THOSE!

(I followed this guide for number changes)

35. RESHADE (OpenGL, Do anything you like with this)
- FakeHDR
- AMD FIdelityFX
- DPX
- LumaSharpen
- Vibrance +0.2

36. Timescale6
OR once in game, open the console with ~ and type:
set timescale to 6
...to slow time. 15 is also good.

37. [Camera] Viewing distance = 35000
This keeps the world feeling big while hiding cutoffs but go up to 50000 if your frames can handle it.

38. Performance reductions in settings.ini if lagging (lower and cutoffs are clear)
[Groundcover]
rendering distance = 8000

[Shadows]
maximum shadow map distance = 7000

[Camera]
viewing distance = 18000
(Lowering your FOV helps too but don't give yourself a headache)

39. Bonus Mods:
New Starfields
TrueType fonts for OpenMW

NOTE: I lose 30fps to record the video, so I pull down settings to show you this.
