Welcome to Tamriel Rebuilt !

Tamriel Rebuilt is a modding project that adds Morrowind's mainland to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for you to explore. We follow Bethesda Softworks' original lore and creative vision so that you never lose the sense of a coherent game world. 

To date, about half of the mainland is playable, with additional in-progress work available for preview. Seek out exciting new adventures in the Telvanni east, the Indoril heartland, and the contentious Aanthirin region. Download Tamriel Rebuilt here

Our team of artists, modders, and writers is passionate about expanding Morrowind into a whole province, complete with diverse new landscapes, cities, stories, and hidden secrets. Though the project is over two decades old, work continues with people like you joining periodically. You can help us reach our goal by becoming a developer today, no experience required. 

Also check out Project Tamriel, our sister project. Through shared assets and lore, we are coordinating the (re)building of much more than Morrowind alone.

Tamriel Rebuilt is pleased to announce the release of build 16.09!

What’s New

The big news is that Tamriel Rebuilt has moved its assets to Tamriel_Data. If you have used Tamriel Rebuilt in the past, please read up on Tamriel_Data, download it and register the BSAs.

It needs to be repeated, since this is the biggest hurdle new users face when first installing Tamriel Rebuilt: Install Tamriel_Data.

Register both BSAs!

Both BSAs! (This is a link, click it! Seriously, click it.)

Aside from moving to this unified province asset framework, TR1609 took the opportunity to revamp its regions and city names. Formerly afraid of breaking continuity with previous releases, names and region changes which had been confined to Tamriel Rebuilt design documents and discussion threads have finally found their way into game files. TR_Travels has been updated to its final release before its changes find their way into our main gamefiles. If you have a strong opinion about either of this, please check our forums and discuss it!

Additionally, we have incorporated several bugfixes and revamps. Notable, Andothren is nearing completion, and Menaan has started to come into its own as an independant settlement.

Finally...

Announcing Tamriel_Data

Tamriel Rebuilt, Project Tamriel building unified Data Structure

Starting with release 1609, Tamriel Rebuilt will move to a new data structure. TR_Data is out, Tamriel_Data is in, and a host of changes come with it!

If you just want to skip ahead, you can find download links here.

Culminating from a year of hard work, Tamriel_Data contains a unified file structure spearheaded by Project Tamriel and Tamriel Rebuilt as the first adopter.
Not only will this make assets from both projects available to each other and third party modders, but the assets are organised in a logical, easy to navigate syntax, enabling our modders to create content more easily. A file name will now have the context that was previously only known by trial, error, and experience.


It will probably not quite look like this.

Additionally, we are now supplying both vanilla-style resources and a high-resolution alternative. Now, no matter how much you doll up your game, mods relying on Tamriel_Data will never look out of date again!


Left: low resolution, Right: high resolution

 

Note: While the assets for Project Tamriel are all available in both high and resolution, Tamriel Rebuilt is not nearly done. Any texture artists willing to help are welcome!

Tamriel_Data for players

Update your BSA list

First, if you used more than one of the big three province Mods (Tamriel Rebuilt, Skyrim: Home of the Nords, Province: Cyrodiil), you will be able to just use Tamriel_Data with each of them. Three ESMs and BSAs now become one ESM and one BSA: easy on the load order, and easier to keep track of.

The hardest part is remembering to edit your Morrowind.ini to use the new BSAs instead of the old ones. Since you have probably played one of the bigger mods, you should know how this works: just locate the file in your Morrowind game directory, find the [Archive] section, add the two new BSAs (TR_Data.bsa, PT_Data.bsa), replacing obsolete entries if they were there, done.
Alternatively, you can of course use BSAReg, which ususally takes care of that automatically.


Example setups

Just make sure that your Tamriel_Data is up to date, which the province mods will alert you to in our releases.

Summer 2016 Update Video is Out

We have a new update video out on Youtube! It's a little late, but is full of new information. There's no new release this quarter as we've been working hard on behind-the-scenes type stuff that doesn't show up in the construction set-- yet. We've been working on the Deshaan Plains and are still looking for help from modders on a variety of subjects. If you want to know more, watch the video.   

 

Our March release continues to be available at our website, TESNexus, and Great House Fliggerty.

Website Update

It’s been a good while since the last site update, but progress is underway, nontheless.

After many updates to the TR Handbook, it is maturing into the go-to guide for Tamriel Rebuilt, both for resources, guides, but also for lore and background information.

In another step towards a more modern, streamlined design process, we are starting to use a new Asset Browser, where we will coordinate meshes, textures, quest proposals and similar bottom-up develoment. As before, you do not need to be a developer to post Assets.

Finally, the website design has been updated, with improved support for mobile devices and a general eye-friendly overhaul.

While all of these processes are far from done, the recent steps taken make good on our promise that we will see this restructure through until the final release of a full Morrowind province.

There are, however, still many things that need to be done  and for this we need your help! For more information on the types of work we need, check out our Help Wanted page.

Tamriel Rebuilt - 16.03 Release

Download: Main Mirror | Fliggerty | Nexus

Tamriel Rebuilt is pleased to announce the release of build 16.03!

What’s New

Aside from continuing the trend of bug-fixes and internal housekeeping from the last update, this update includes various minor additions to all of the files, the most visible of which is an overhaul of southern Morrowind's provisional heightmap. Our next update will be released in June 2016. Future updates will continue to be maintenance releases. Our project is currently in the final stages of planning and conceptualization of House Dres and the Deshaan Plains, so stay tuned for further updates on this front. Please consult our changelog for a detailed list of changes and fixes. You are encouraged to visit our forums, or social media outlets to keep track of current progress.

For more details, please watch the release video above! And now for a special announcement...

==============================================================

The Tamriel Rebuilt Team needs YOU!

That's right. For the first time since the initiation of our ongoing project restructure, we are calling for your help. As we are now in the leeward end of our major transition, the time will soon come when we will resume work on planning and developing actual content.

We are in need of a wide range of skills, from administration, organization, planning, writing, art, assets, and eventually actual construction/implementation. Don't worry if you don't know how to use the CS, as contributions to planning and art design will greatly accelerate implementation, and are just as important towards making measurable progress. There are many things to be done outside the construction set. For more information on the types of work we need, check out our Help Wanted page! Our showcase policy has become less restrictive in recent months, and is now only required for actual Construction work. Concept Art, Assets, Literature, writing and planning are exempt from the process and is now open to all.

Open Chat with Zaric Zhakaron

Hello everyone!

We recently managed to sit down for a couple of hours and have a nice chat with podcaster Zaric Zhakaron. Zaric is a wonderful person who has dedicated alot of time podcasting and reviewing games, TES in particular. His videos often offer insightful commentary on many aspects of the TES multiverse, and we were honoured when he approached us to do an interview.

It was a very fun and engaging chat, that runs well over 2 hours. We discuss a multitude of topics in the video including:

- Our thoughts on good game design.
- Our thoughts on TES and Morrowind.
- Our creative vision and process.
- The ongoing project restructure.
- Our position on changing vanilla content in the future.
- Our plans for House Dres
- A tease as to what's to come in the next few months.
- Mushrooms, cliff racers, broken microphones, and so much more!

We hope you enjoy the interview! If you love TES and/or Morrowind, be sure to send his channel some love!

Tamriel Rebuilt - 15.12 Release

Tamriel Rebuilt is pleased to announce the release of build 15.12!

Download: Main Mirror | Fliggerty | Nexus

What's New

We have a release video!

Aside from the usual bug-fixes, we have been focusing a lot on internal housekeeping, sorting out our plugins and file structure to make things easier for us going forward. That being said, this release is not without new content to play with:

A small plugin which adds travel locations across all of the areas we have created so far and integrates our travel network with Vvardenfell's has been packaged with the main download. This plugin is designed to be loaded with TR_Preview, but is not dependent on it; players using the plugin without TR_Preview loaded may just end up traveling to the middle of the ocean if they pick a destination outside of the TR_Mainland landmass. Aside from being a convenience measure, this plugin also provides a rough idea of the travel network we will be working towards including in TR_Mainland. Please post any feedback to this plugin in this thread.

The travel network as it currently stands can be seen here:

On a smaller scale, some cell names have been added to Almalexia to aid orientation within its vast sprawl.

As always with updating, please be sure to remove the previous install of Tamriel Rebuilt in its entirety. For a full list of changes, please consult the changelog file that is included in the package.

Our next update will be released in March 2016.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy this release!
-The Tamriel Rebuilt Team
