Completely new
everything goes to your skyrim/data and extract it here with not changing any folder structure that is in rars. That means just open rar and extract the first folder you see in that rar to your skyrim/data.
You dont do anything with your morrowind installation!!!!!! and you dont put anything to your morrowind installation folder.
Also you must run skyrim game in order to play skywind, not morrowind game
thanks but the master mesh and texture files has the same files as the regular mesh and texture download files..whats the point of that?
I'm not sure what you mean by master and regular meshes and textures. There is only one topic for meshes and one for textures from where in first post you can download them and that is here

try reading instructions again http://morroblivion.com/forums/conversion-to-skyrim/conversion-to-skyrim/2707
if you have another questions then ask here but right now I'm not really sure what is the problem
Thanks for that link, the link I read had 3 links, one to the masterfile, another to meshes and textures and another to LOD meshes and textures...I wasnt sure what to do with them.
http://morroblivion.com/forums/conversion-to-skyrim/conversi... thats the link with the download link to
latest masterfile
needed textures
Morrowind meshes
LOD
where do I put all these files?
thanks
Try, the same folder structure they are in when you extract them?
I did but I noticed some of the folders have the same files and when I try to put them in the same directory it asks if i want to overwrite tons of files...what is the point of that? sorry I dont know much when it comes to this stuff.
Also, whats the difference with the link I posted above and these 2 links?

that is because lot of update archives have already been added to main archive.
So you only need textures main archive and update 2. Meshes main archive and update 8. All LOD archives and main master archive (main master - skywind.esm goes in skyrim/data without any other folders).
And if then when unpacking archives something needs overwriting then do it because it is probably new version of that file. Only thing is that you must unpack main archive first and then updates
I know that install instructions can be bit confusing right now but that is because early stage of this master and constant progress. Its going to be easier when project is going to be more complete
Um, they lead to the same place?
They overwrite each other because maybe sometimes things need to be updated? Really, just follow the instructions. If something is not mentioned it's usually not a problem. Make sure the most recent files are the ones installed last.
I am following the instructions, but I got a bit confused, which led me here...
"Make sure the most recent files are the ones installed last." how can I tell which files are the newest when asking to overwrite? thanks for your time, I appreciate the help.
Update: I placed all the files in their place, when I launch skyrim the data files option is there but its greyed out and I cant click it, anyone know why? also, where do I put the WrldMorrowind.lod file?
thanks
Data\LODSettings
I think it is in the correct structure in the download, but maybe that folder doesn't exist yet in your installation so you are having trouble finding it?
It will tell you the date modified when asking to overwrite.
Basically the files that came with the master go last, and not much else should overwrite other files. Except for the update archives on the mesh and texture threads, which should be installed directly after the big downloads.
There is a .ini line you need to add if data files are greyed out. I don't know what it is, but I bet you could find it with a quick google search.
thanks for the info, but yea, Theres no LOD settings folder
I figured out how to enable data files, both skywind.esm is there and with a checkmark but when I run the game I only have the option to play skyrim
read instructions!!!!!!!!!!
in game press ~ and then write "cow wrldmorrowind -5 -5"
without "
sorry, I thought it was because the lod file doesnt have a folder to go into. I'll try that now.
got a "item wrldmorrowind is not found for parameter worldspace, compiled data not saved" message
Are you loading the game with the nexus mod manager?
Please everyone, just search for your problems first!

Try starting there.
But seriously though. I'm really tired of answering the same questions. Please just search for the answer and read the install instructions THOROUGHLY first.
Shadow, thanks for the link but I already read that thread and I already checked the appdata folder and skywind is there on both and the cow command still wont work. Believe me ive done some research, which is why im writing here.
mehh:no im not
That thread gives the ONLY 3 or so reasons why that would happen, if you are still getting that error you need to read the whole thing again, more thoroughly this time.
If that thread doesn't fix your problem, I honestly don't know anything else you could try.
Hello,
I am new to Skywind, and not sure what to expect. i have the ability to get to Morrowind, and walk about, even to pick things up.
Can you tell me,
should I be able to go through doors without it crashing?
Are there any missions that work?
Should I get any dialogue other than the 1 liners?
Thanks.
Diana
Hallo tracyd! Welcome to the wonderful world of Skywind and Skyblivion development! The mod in its current form is still in the alpha stage, with much of the major content still being updated and beautified.
Iirc: Yes you can go through doors without crashing, however it is not guaranteed that you will not crash to desktop.
In regards to missions, I think Fargoth's Ring is in 0.6, which might be released this week.
0.6 should also include dialogue as it is in the development forums, however I am unsure as to whether or not it will be fixed so that you get specific dialogue instead of access to the entire game's dialogue whenever you talk to anyone. 0.5 (the current version) does not have any dialogue other than 1 liners.
Here's a link to some of the mobs in development! http://morroblivion.com/forums/skyrim/skywind-development/4212
much appreciated
Most interiors don't crash anymore either with all of the mesh updating.
