The following is from the patch notes of version 2.9.3 which I downloaded last fall when I was considering using it for a new game. If you're looking for a new and up-to-date modding guides, I'd suggest you checking out the Morrowind Graphics Guide and Morrowind 2019: Thastus Edition that I've linked both in the sidebar and in the menu.
Apart from mesh quality, the aesthetics are all over the place and don't really respect Morrowind's unique native style. MGSO data files are bloated with assets that are never used. #MORROWIND MGSO INSTALL#
Fixing MGSO install takes more time than following a graphics guide.
Game will crash a lot just from travelling.A lot of framerate drops compared to modern modded setups.The quality of the included mods is very inconsistent.A lot of lazily subdivided meshes that cause performance problems have broken UVs or even holes in models.Quite a few mods have been included without permission from the authors.
#MORROWIND MGSO UPDATE#
MGSO’s file structure, as well as its tendency to merge mods, makes it incredibly difficult, if not impossible to update or fix any of the included mods. All tree replacers are incredibly outdated (The modding community has newer versions that are closer to vanilla style, but even if Vurt’s Trees are your go-to choice, those provided by MGSO are broken and have been already fixed by the community.). (These aren’t given as a choice, all or nothing and difficult to remove.) Awful sound file replacers ripped from other games, such as Baldur’s Gate to fill in the taverns. MGSO includes the incredibly old and controversial Morrowind Patch Project, instead of up-to-date Patch for Purists. There are a lot of missing meshes and textures that have never been fixed. ( One of the replacement Solstheim cave meshes is distorted, preventing you from reaching the door activator and entering several caves, including one central to a major side quest.)
Vanilla dimensions aren’t being respected for a lot of meshes, which causes quite a few dungeon entrances to be blocked off among other problems. ( For example, ''Left Gloves Addon'' overwrites several of the armor fixes included in the Morrowind Patch Project, and Almalexia Voice (included in the merged voices mod) overwrites the lootable equipment added to her by Better Almalexia.) Several of the mods conflict with each other, and MGSO doesn't do anything to resolve those conflicts. The outdated version of Animated Containers used in MGSO has a bug that causes random Bloodmoon and Tribunal chests to be empty, which can break quests that depend on finding particular items in those chests, including the main Tribunal questline. (Morrowind Code Patch and Morrowind Graphics Extender) All third-party tools included in the pack are incredibly outdated. I'll keep the thread pinned for couple of days then I'll move it to the wiki page. Me and a lot of people from the modding community sees MGSO as the bane of Morrowind, so I've prepared couple of bulletpoints about the major problems of MGSO with their assistance. #MORROWIND MGSO MOD#
I have been seeing many posts asking for technical help regarding their mod loadouts since I've started browsing this subreddit and most of these problems were oftenly originated from MGSO.
