Chargen and Progression

This is one of my favourite aspects of many games. Skip mods that don't appeal to you.

Thousands of hair and faces carefully curated to remove the least lore-friendly ones.

Faces are still (in)famously pretty, skip if you want to stay closer to vanilla aesthetics.

Check the following option(s):

More for the Khajiit, including whiskers.

We're taking only a couple of races but feel free to add whichever you like.

Check the following option(s):

Races RESPECted - A Race Skill and Attribute Rebalance Mod by Discontinuous Qualia Petethegoat Hrnchamd

This mod tweaks racial attributes, skill bonuses, and abilities to make the races' unique identities as described in lore and through their vanilla bonuses clearer and better translate them into gameplay.

Adds an Attribute and Description widget to the Race menu so you can better plan your character.

Restores the description tooltip to the vanilla class selection menu.

Class Skill Limit by VitruvianGuar

Only major skills can reach 100.

Class Starting Spells by VitruvianGuar

MWSE lua mod, which changes the distribution of starting spells and gives its own list of them for every class, depending on the its central theme.

Select from 27 different backgrounds, each with its own unique effects.

Adds a handful of new backgrounds to Merlord's character backgrounds. Some provide more of a flying start, but they all have harsher setbacks or challenges for later.

The Ronin by VvardenfellStormSage

This mod adds an additional background to Merlord's Character Backgrounds, The Ronin. The Ronin background also comes with a unique robe, straw helm, and Japanese-style wooden sandals, along with an enchanted katana. The mod also includes an optional player class, Swordslinger.

More backgrounds for Merlord's awesome mod! Play as an Assassin, Disgraced Ordinator, Prince/Princess, Merchant, or Artisan!

100+ classes (vanilla, NPC classes, TR classes, new classes) that get a specific set of items and/or spells and powers as well as MWSE skill buffs. specifically tailored to your class. Loadouts include vanilla, TR, OAAB, and, depending on your modlist, items from your mods. Includes custom classes.

The Astrologer and the Nightsky by Sephumbra & Danae

The Astrologer class has a unique power: Divination. The Nightsky birthsign's effects change every month.

Each birthsign now has a few variants (including the original one) for a grand total of 40 new lore-friendly birthsigns. If you want even more lore-friendly options, check out On the Cusp by Juidius Xentao

Divine Providence by Apoapse & Danae OR PRAY - Prayers Rituals And You by hornsilk

DIVINE PROVIDENCE: Pick a deity and get blessings (powers, spells, abilities) as you level up.

Check the following option(s):

PRAY adds Tribunal, Divine, Ashlander, and Sixth House Prayers into the game. You are able to pray once a day and praying will level up the corresponding skill, unlocking new prayers and rituals over time.

PRAY is superior to Divine Providence is still in developpment. Currently Daedra Worship and The All-Maker are not supported, but planned. Your call. I'll be switching to PRAY 100% once it's complete.

Dynamic Class Images by Melchior Dahrk and Merlord

This mod makes it so that the class images you see during character creation and when leveling up are specific to your class, yes, even custom classes.

An MWSE leveling mod that implements most features of Galsiah's Character Development.

I honestly keep going back and forth between this, MULE ( very similar, includes skill decay) and vanilla-style levelling.

Tweaks how Restore/Damage Attribute works on the player. Required by certain mods. No meaningful gameplay effect on its own. Required for the previous mod to work as intended.

Daily Training by Kleidium

4NM_PERKS by Archimag/AxeMagister

Adds passive and active perks for all skills and class bonuses.

Right-click Data Files, select "set as <data Files> directory, click OK.

Adds abilities to players who advance through the guilds.

An overhaul of the Mages Guild, Thieves Guild and Fighters Guild: as you raise through the ranks you have access to equipment, quests, trainers and special reward.

Some factions will now refuse you membership if you have already joined other factions that they disapprove of. Others will make you jump through some extra hoops if you're a member of a faction they dislike.

With this mod, some classes of Npcs, offer proper services and the factions offer new privileges to high-ranking players.

I edited the value of the robes for balance and compatibility with Melchior's Mage Robes, Tweaked the position of some inquisitors for compatibility with Baar Dau - Ministry of Truth and tweak one line of dialogue for compatibility with FMI - Sane Ordinators. tweaked PP_Hlaalu_script for compatibility with Yet Another Guard Diversity.

Install in the same folder as the main mod, when prompted, click "merge"

Drop a tombstone at the place of your death, along with an epitaph and an item from your inventory. The next character to come across the tombstone will be able to pay their respects and receive the item as a relic.

UI overhaul allowing generate a random name for your character upon character creation.

To install, follow these steps:

Download directly into your MO2/downloads folder and install normally

Randomised Chargen by Petethegoat

Lets you randomise your race, appearance, class, and birthsign.

This mod asks you if you want to go through the chargen or skip it.

In addition, you can be spawned at a random location after character creation.

If you chose to do the chargen normally, you will NOT be spawned in a random location.

Option 1: you only want the quick char feature > Select 01 MWSE

Option 2 : you want quick char + random spawn in Morrowind > select 01 MWSE + 02 MW Random spawns

Option 3: you want quick char + random spawn anywhere in Tamriel > select 01 MWSE + 02 MW + TR spawns

Option 4: you want quick char and random spawn ANYWHERE including in cells added by mods > 01 MWSE + run ab01randtelegen.bat (in Data Files) through MO2 (the same way we added Mlox and tes3merge earlier).

Revisited Chargen by Zorbator, Danae's edit

I removed all edits to the Census and Excise office for compatibility..

Zorbator overhauled the prison ship and made the guards walk faster. Makes chargen 100% less annoying. Also, stealing from the Census is a big no-no (i.e don't get caught)
