The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Tips

Assuming you're using relatively modern hardware (I'm on a MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz, 512 MB VRAM), the only mods which really make the game crawl are the ones that rely heavily on custom scripts, just as you would expect for this game even in Windows. In Crossover, however, scripts seem to take a heavier toll. Whereas in Windows I could play with Morrowind Comes Alive, Living Cities, and Wilderness 2.0, now these mods cannot be run simultaneously on my machine without too great a performance impact. I'm definitely going to have to make some hard choices, but this game is still both stable and entirely playable. As a plus, mods that improve textures and models seem to have little to no performance impact, so I've been able to retexture the entire game and update all of the character models without slowing it down. Even most quest and item mods cause no noticeable slowdown. Just watch out for those heavily scripted mods.
