Skywind, the fan-made project aiming to give Morrowind a new lease of life within the Skyrim engine, has a new trailer. The video, which you can watch towards the bottom of this article, shows off the hidden ruins of Morrowind’s forgotten Sixth House, Dagoth.
In Morrowind lore, House Dagoth was thought to be dead, its leader, Dagoth Ur, defeated by Nerevar and the Tribunal Temple. Dagoth and his blood brothers had, however, fled to the ruins of their home within the Red Mountain, and spent 3,000 years hiding and growing stronger before returning to Morrowind during the events of The Elder Scrolls III.
The new trailer (via DSOGaming) is a story teaser, documenting the fall (and eventual return) of House Dagoth, and attempting to capture the sinister presence the house was famous for. Narrated by Dagoth Endus, it shows off the ruins of the house, but then heads into the lava-filled hideouts beneath the Red Mountain. There’s also closer look at the Dwemer Ruins that Dagoth Ur originally pledged to protect.
Footage and screenshots of Skywind have been doing the rounds for a while now, but for my money, this is the closest to Skyrim the mod has ever looked. That’s in part down to TESV’s very recognisable combat, but weaving through those underground hideouts is also reminiscent of the latest game in the series.
Sadly, there’s still no news on a release date for Skywind, but it seems that work on the mod is continuing at a reasonable pace. If you want into the mod when it eventually becomes available to the public, you will need to own both Skyrim and Morrowind, but at this point, that shouldn’t set you back all that much.
A group of modders called TES Renewal are attempting to bring past Elder Scrolls titles into their more up-to-date engines. The current project, called Skywind, is taking The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and updating it to the Skyrim engine. This means you’ll be able to play through the story and world of the classic open-world RPG with greater visual fidelity than ever before.
The work can be seen in the trailer below, showing off various parts of the Morrowing world, but with the greater graphical capability that was displayed in 2011’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The mod functions within Skyrim, but you will need to own both games in order to play. In fact, according to the TES Renewal website, you will “need a copy of TES III: Morrowind, including the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions installed correctly on your system. Plus TES V: Skyrim of course.” They emphasize that the copies will need to be legitimate, even if you have pirated copies that function they will not work for this mod.
Using the Skyrim engine also adds a few of that game’s modern elements, such as smithing and crafting, to the older game. “This is not yet implimented, but in the future you will be able to craft many of the objects from Morrowind using local materials. That means real mining and Morrowind style crafting stations too. These recipes will be balanced so as not to interfere with normal Morrowind gameplay though.” This also applies to fast-travel and quest markers, which many die-hard Morrowing fans might wish to avoid. The team was sure to point out that with a few changes those features can be disabled for a true Morrowing experience.

The only plan for a release date is “when it’s finished”. You can download what the team has at the moment, but most features are not implemented so more work is necessary before final release. The team is open to others helping them out, so click here to find out how.
The team is also planning to take The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and port it to the Skyrim engine. Work on this is not planned to start until Skywind makes its final release. Another project the team worked on was Morroblivion, which ported Morrowind to the Oblivion engine. This reached completion and can be downloaded here.
Skywind, the user-created mod that looks to bring The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind into the modern age using The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s engine, has released a new look at actual gameplay within the mod. As we reported perviously, Skywind Sims seasons free download. is growing quickly with new areas and assets becoming available every week. There have been some previous videos released from within Skywind, but this seems to be the best and most extensive look at the game in action.
Skywind seeks to merge the amazing world of TES III: Morrowind with the enhanced graphics and capabilities of Skyrim’s engine
As stated on the TES Renewal Youtube page, this is footage from Skywind’s alpha stage. “This is ALPHA gameplay footage from my last Twitch Live Stream on 8/13/14. Because of this, the quality is LOW and the frame rate will drop/freeze. None of this footage is official and everything is subject to change. For this reason, do not comment on bugs, glitches, or optimization. For this demo, I show only a few environments and armors.” Most of what I saw looked very stable though, so I am definitely getting excited for this to get closer to final release.
Skywind doesn’t just improve the visuals of Morrowind, it actually bring in gameplay elements from Skyrim such as smithing and crafting. None of that is featured here as this was simply meant to showcase parts of the world that are near completion.
Another fan-created project like Skywind is OpenMW, which seeks to accomplish a similar goal by providing a new engine for Morrowind to run in. There is pretty heated debate about which project is better and which should be followed more closely by fans. Both seem like fantastic projects from very talented people, so I’m going to say you should check out both and decide for yourself. OpenMW recently reached a great milestone, having 100% script functionality within their mod.
Skywind isn’t the sort of project that sets a release date, simply saying that it will be done “when it is finished”. You can download the current build of the project here though and check it out for yourself.
Here’s a look at how custom animation is coming along in Skywind, the recreation of Morrowind in Skyrim.
The video above from the TESRenewal Project provides a look at both the animation and creature skeleton of the Silt Strider. As the developers note, what you’re seeing is an early Alpha test, so it does not represent the final outcome.
According to the team, there are “noticeable issues with sliding, collision and pathing,” and since this is just a technical test, everything you see will be improved over the course of development.

The Silt Strider you see in the video is a model from Dragonborn, the third add-on for Skyrim. In the DLC, the creature is located on the island of Solstheim off the north coast of Morrowind. This is where Dunmer refuges have resided since the eruption of the Red Mountain. The strider is not used as a means of transportation in Skyrim, as it was in Morrowind.
TESRenewal said the creature will be replaced with its own, so the wild striders seen roaming about Skywind will not have the shell removed from their head, unlike those used for transport in Morrowind.
If you want to help move things along with the development of Skywind, the team could sure use your help.
It is also working on Skyblivion, a project which mods the entirety of Oblivion in Skyrim, and the team needs additional development help on it as well. If you want to lend a hand, hit up this link.
The more volunteers, the faster both will be finished, and finally put into our hands.

Skywind Mod
The Elder Scrolls Renewal Project (TESRenewal) is a fan volunteer effort to recreate and remaster the video games in The Elder Scrolls series. The team is best known for its Skywind project, which seeks to remaster the 2002 The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on the 2011 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimgame engine, known as the Creation Engine.[1]
History[edit]
The Renewal Project began with Morroblivion, a Morrowind remaster on the 2006 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine, prior to Skyrim's release. Coordinated through the Morroblivion website's forums, [2] the mod was publicly available on the team's website in 2008.[3]
In 2012 after the release of Skyrim, forum members began work on Skywind, intending to begin the same result in the Skyrim engine.[4]
Another volunteer team works separately on Skyblivion, a similar but separate project to remaster Oblivion on the more advanced Skyrim engine.
Skywind[edit]
Skywind is a recreation of Morrowind (2002) in the Skyrim:Special Edition game engine (2016).[5] The original game developers, Bethesda Softworks, have given project volunteers their approval.[1] All original game assets, including textures, music, quests and gameplay, were planned to be redesigned.[6] The remastering team involves over 70 volunteers in artist, composer, designer, developer and voice acting roles, who released several videos highlighting their development progress. In November 2014, the team reported to have finished half of the remaster's environment, over 10,000 new dialogue lines and three hours of series-inspired soundtrack. Players were able to download and play an unfinished version of the release until late 2014, when the volunteer team chose to divert assets to development instead of user support.
A March 2015 update showed updated levels. The developers wrote that they were not close to a release despite technical indications from their project's version number.[7] In mid-2015, the team released its public alpha, an unfinished test version, but it was soon withdrawn.[1] After a year, the project team released its fourth update, which was designed to solicit volunteers for the remaining work.[8] In October 2018, a further major trailer was released[9], and another in July 2019.[10]
Skyblivion[edit]![]()
Skyblivion is a recreation of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) within the engine for The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim:Special Edition (2016).[11] Like its sister project, it involves an overhaul of most aspects of the original game, including landscaping, weapons, and armors.[12] As of mid-2014, the project sought outside help from visual artists and declined voice actors, as Oblivion already featured a full voice cast.[13] The team released a development trailer in May 2014 that showed the remaster in early development[14] and a gameplay trailer a year later. As of 2015, the game lacked navmesh, a mechanism by which non-player characters wander an environment without becoming lost in other assets.[15] The remaster has no set release date.[16]
