I'm looking to install Morrowind on a lightweight Win10 machine I've acquired.

It only has the on board Intel Core i3 3.1 GHz processor's integrated HD Graphics 2000 for video but I think that is most likely more than enough as long as I don't install some of the more demanding graphical mods.

When Morrowind first came out I just ran through the base campaign without any mods installed, so I'm not really sure which mods to add or how they should be applied.

My hope is that if someone spots a Mod that I'm planning to install that would cause problems they'll point it out or perhaps suggest other more functional or interesting Mods.

From what I've been reading in the two morrowind related STICKY threads on this forum there are a few Mods that are now considered 100% necessary as they fix various bugs that the official patches sadly never remedied.

The community bug fix patches I'm planning to install are:
- Morrowind Code Patch
- Patch for Purists
- Morrowind Optimization Patch
- Delaying the Tribunal Expansion *
- Solstheim Rumor fix *

* I thought I read somewhere that a version of both the "Delaying the Tribunal Expansion" & "Solstheim Rumor fix" are now already included inside either the "Morrowind Code Patch" or the "Patch for Purists", are these two Mods outdated and no longer needed?

"Cleaned" versions of the Official Mini-Addons:
- Entertainers
- Bitter Coast Sounds
- Area Effect Arrows
- Helm of Tohan
- Master Index
- LeFemm Armor
- Adamantium Armor
- Siege at Firemoth

Are the above links from the Great House Fliggerty site still the best place to download the cleaned Official Mini-Addons?

I can't believe Bethesda left these official Mods with "dirty references" instead of patching them, vexing!

For those that don't know, using the Mini-Addons that are included with Morrowind can cause problems due to an error in the files. See this thread for more information.

Patch for the Offical Mini-Addons:
- Master Index Journalfix

If there anything I'm missing that is considered a must have please point it out, this will be my first time running both the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions and I'm really looking forward to replaying this classic.

Your list looks good to me, in regards to those two I dont use them (but am using Patch for Purists & Code Patch) and while I definitely noticed the absence of early assassins (Tribunal), I can't remember if the rumors were stuck.
