In the background you can see the port city of Anvil. You may already know them from Oblivion.
Morrowind only came in third place in our poll for the best Elder Scrolls game at the time, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have many fans. Fans, such as the Project Tamriel modding team, who recently celebrated the release of their current mega project.
Was ist Project Cyrodiil: Abecean Shores?
The Morrowind mod expands the base game to include a new area. And as you, as Elder Scrolls experts, probably already recognize from the name, we head west to the Imperial Province. The kingdom of Anvil reigns there, with the port city of the same name as its center.
The whole area is about half the size of Vvardenfell and, in addition to the harbor, also offers a jungle, a coastline and underwater areas. You can get a first glimpse of the project in the trailer:

Of course, you can not only admire and explore the beautiful areas, but also talk to the residents there, complete quests and beat up monsters. In addition to the countless smaller quests, the mod team also worked on faction tasks.
Here you will of course meet old friends such as the Thieves' Guild or the Mages' Guild, but you will also make new acquaintances. For example with the traveling priests. In total there will be over 160 new quests.
This is how you install the mod
Die Mod Project Cyrodiil You can find it as usual on Nexusmods.
This is what you need to install the mod:
It is also recommended that you download and install the team's other two major mod projects as well so that you can also play the quests that happen between the mod provinces.
But that is not a must. If you are interested in the other two mods, you can take a look at Tamriel Rebuilt in the following video:

The actual installation of the mod is quite simple. To do this you simply have to enter the content of the 00 Core
-Unzip the mod folder and put it in Data Files
folder in your Morrowind directory. If you are asked whether the folders with the same name should be integrated into one another, click on And
.
Now all you have to do is go into the Morrowind launcher and make sure that the two options Tamriel_Data.esm
and Cyr_Main.esm
are checked.
And that was it. Now you can start Morrowind and travel to the new area either by boat (speak to Titus Corilex in Ebonheart Harbor) or via an immersive quest. You can find them either in the Foreign Quarter of the city of Vivec, the College of Firewatch or in the west of the city of Dragonstar.
What's planned for 2025 and beyond
The ambitious team around Project Tamriel has already delivered a lot of content with the first release, but is far from finished with the mod. The team is currently working on an expansion to the kingdom of Sutch and the Colovian Highlands. Later we will head further inland.
You can find all information about the current development status and contact with the modders at their official homepage. The collective is currently working on a total of four provinces for Morrowind: Cyrodiil, Skyrim, High Rock and Hammerfell.
What do you say about the mod? Will you try them out and do you already know the other Project Tamriel projects? And do such mods encourage you to reinstall and experience a game that is over 20 years old? Write it to us in the comments.
