    I'd grab the one from gog-games.to, I can't link directly as that's against the rules. It's compatible with MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) as well as having a version of skse64 (Skyrim Script Extender x64 available for it.
  • OBSE Loader (mod loader for Oblivion) keeps crashing when loading/starting game
    2 projects | /r/SteamDeck | 8 Jul 2023
    I’m not running OBSE by itself. I’m running it alongside Mod Organizer 2. This script will setup MO2 for you and set it so that Steam launches it automatically when you press play. Then, you’ll need to follow this doc to install OBSE alongside MO2. Hopefully that would setup all of your pathing correctly.

  • Is Morrowind Code Patch outdated?
    3 projects | /r/Morrowind | 28 Jun 2021
    For future reference Vortex shouldn't be used at all with Morrowind. MO2, Wrye Mash, or both are the best option.
  • BSA Registration question
    2 projects | /r/tes3mods | 30 Apr 2021
    I recommend using a mod manager for Morrowind modding because it makes the modding process a lot simpler. MO2 or Wrye Mash are the best options for Morrowind. Just remember that if you use MO2 you'll have to use MO2's INI Editor tool to change the INI, you can see if there are any new BSAs in MO2's Data tab as well.
