Hilda: I already have Morrowind installed but have just bought the GOG version because I'd like to be able to play it without having to put a disk in. The old disk version (it's the GOTY version) is heavily modded and I would like to use the GOG version with all my current mods. Can someone point me to an advice page about how I can do it? Should I uninstall my current version, install the GOG version then do I have to mod the GOG version? Or is there a simple way to do it?
Thank you for any help advice... :-)
OBTW, does the GOG version include the add-ons (Bloodmoon, etc)?
Rusty_Gunn: 1) I never had an issue installing the gog version with the the disc version on a 'Puter.
2) how extensively is the existing install modded? If all your mods are just esm/esps + their assets, copying the "Data files" folder to the the "new" install should work fine. But if you used "Morrowind Graphics overhaul" and or other 3rd party utilities/fixes you should apply those first though.
Note: the GOG version also comes with the DLC esps that Bethesda made but you should either clean them or dl versions that are cleaned
here's a thread that may help you.
http://www.gog.com/forum/elder_scrolls_series/morrowind_essentials_important_fixes_wellknown_mods_and_projects WOW! Thank you. Just the sort of info I was looking all in one place. On my disk version, I have the graphics extender and the usual better heads, bodies, plus a few tweaks I made myself (like Rich Creeper- has 500 000 gold :-) ) So I think your point 2 tells me that I should be able to do and easy transfer from Disk to GOG. I'll start with that I think.
