Hello.
I've recently felt an intense craving to play Morrowind.
After some searching, I was quickly overwhelmed by the number of graphics overhaul mods for Morrowind and decided that figuring it all out will take more effort than it was worth. Plus I find default Morrowind to be quite outdated despite its charm.
So I decided to try to find an equivalent mod for Oblivion. Turn out there is a mod that lets you play Morrowind in all its glory in Oblivion - Morroblivion.
Here's the link to its official site: https://tesrenewal.com/morroblivion-faq
Installing Morroblivion took temporarily installing Morrowind, but it could be deleted after Morroblivion was installed.
By now my load order in Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) looked like this:
Oblivion.esm=1
Morrowind_ob.esm=1
Morrowind_ob.esp=1
Morrowind_ob - UCWUS.esp=1
Morrowind_ob - Chargen and Transport Mod.esp=1
Morrowind_ob - MorroblivionTreeReplacer.esp=1
Morrowind_ob - Morroblivion Maps.esp=1
Morrowind_ob - Conversation.esp=1
DLCBattlehornCastle.esp=1
DLCFrostcrag.esp=1
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp=1
DLCThievesDen.esp=1
DLCOrrery.esp=1
DLCSpellTomes.esp=1
DLCVileLair.esp=1
Knights.esp=1
DLCHorseArmor.esp=1
DLCShiveringIsles.esp=1
Just about any awesome mod for Oblivion needs OBSE, so I installed it next.
To figure out how to make Galaxy launch OBSE instead of Oblivion, check out these links.

I had no issues with the game, so it was time for the next step.
I'm a big fan of werewolves and I always found the customizing options of Skyrim's mods fantastic.
With the right mods, I could play as a relatively peaceful werewolf and NPCs ignore the fact that my character could become a furry kill machine, plus I didn't lose my gear and I could transform whenever I wanted for how long I wanted.
To my knowledge, Morrowind or Morroblivion don't have such mods.
Currently, I don't even know if Morroblivion has a werewolf system or not.
I'd prefer not to confuse the game with other mods until I know more.
Otherwise the best werewolf mods I've found on Oblivion's Nexus were:
- Curse of Hircine - Resurrected

- its addon Symphony of Night
Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/34924
- Wolven Anthros
Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/32821
Wolven Anthros is just a race mod so I deemed it safe to use without provoking crashes or bugs.
I don't mind if the "wolf feet" don't show up all the time and it made the default equipment more compatible with the race with this install order of the mods files: version 3, version 4, version 5, Invisible Wolf Fix.
If anyone wants to install the Wolven Anthros race "correctly" refer to this guide: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/46844
If you do so you will likely need additional special armor mods.
I wanted a really unique character, so I needed some body, eyes and hair mods.

I opted for the underwear versions.
Phase 1 was complete.
