Guides: Town Expansions and Overhauls
By Kyromods
Hi, I'm Kyro. I've found that, after a over a decade of playing TESIII: Morrowind, there is nothing I love more than a good city overhaul. It really helps to keep this game fresh and playable after all these years. Every time I go to reinstall the game, I find myself searching through all of these different lists on all of these different sites just to usually end up with the same load order. The mods I always use are the oldest and most critically acclaimed, so it leaves me in the dark about the newer city expansion mods out there. I didn't find out about Kilcundas Balmora until about a month ago. I started scouring mod sites looking for ones I hadn't seen before and I actually found a lot. I decided to put this list together so we could have a place where we can find all of the town expansion mods in one place, and I plan on updating it fairly regularly. I want this list to include everything so please, if you see any glaring omissions, let me know and I will update asap!
The other big reason I made this list is because I really want to be able to contribute something to the community. I love this community with all of my heart. There are so many great people in the community that have done so much for us. It is these people that are the backbone of our community. They are our champions. And I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for teaching me everything I know about mods, the community and the construction set and for making my playthrough the best possible playthrough ever!
With that said, I'd like to introduce the first and largest addition to this list:
Morrowind Rebirth by Trancemaster_1988
A massive mod that overhauls the entire game including almost all cities, towns and villages.
If you have not checked it out yet then I highly recommend it!
Another mod that overhauls almost all settlements:
More Detailed Places by MDP Team
Makes settlements more atmospheric and believable. I am not familiar with this mod.
Rebirth and More Detailed places conflict with each other as well as with probably every mod on this list.
Ald'ruhn
MNC: Ald'ruhn by Mercarryn
Large city expansion covering the entirety of Ald-Ruhn.
Adds tons of NPCs, houses, ect... Gives Ald-Ruhn the feel of a large city
Epic Ald Ruhn by Mikeandike
First on the list from Mikeandike. It turns Ald-Ruhn into a sprawling city
with lots to see but it's on the shallow side. All new buildings are exterior only.
Ald-ruhn Expansion by Crankgorilla
First of many town expansion mods from Crakgorilla. This rendition of Ald-Ruhn
is of mid size and as with all of his mods Crankgorilla has a used number of
community resources, not all lore friendly.
Ald-ruhn Update by Akatius
Adds trees, statues and buildins to expand upon the town.
The City of Ald-ruhn by SYMBIOTE DINOSAUR

Balmora

Kilcunda's Balmora by Kilcunda
makes Balmora more atmospheric. There is not much new content here but a lot of really
nice decorative changes to the city.
Epic Balmora by Mikeandike
The most popular of Mikeandikes mods. Same thing as with His Ald-Ruhn, if you can get
past the lack of interiors, the city looks gorgeous
Walled City Of Balmora by Hargreth and Arcimaestro Antares and Lucien Fairfax and WH-Reaper
Atmospheric changes to the city. The city looks really nice. It adds a wall around
Balmora as well as a bunch of guard towers.
Vality's Balmora Mod by Vality7
If you ever wished Balmora was in the Bitter Coast, or if you just want to see some green
in the otherwise dreary landscape, then this is the mod for you. Doesn't add buildings or
NPCs. Works well with Balmora Ghetto.
Atmospheric Balmora by Lucien Fairfax
One of the first "Atmospheric" mods for Balmora. Inspired at least one or two of the mods
on this list.

line with the concept art for the game.

One of the few "atmospheric" Telvanni town mods. Makes the city
feel that much more lived in.

It keeps the same feel as vanilla Vivec but with that added freshness

walkways between the cantons which makes getting around a lot easier.

That's it for now. I Could not find any mods expanding or overhauling the settlements of Tel Aruhn, Tel Branora and Tel Mora. If anyone knows of any mod for those settle ments, please let me know so I can update the list. Likewise if you know of any mods that I may have missed in general, or if you want me to remove a mod that you are the author of, you can email me at WillKyro@gmail.com
