Modding Morrowind (Steam)?

[jp_bl_68]

Is anyone having any luck modding morrowind? I got MGE working but I get the following errors trying to run Morrowind's Riches, Better Bodies and Visual Pack:

Model Load Error: Meshes\bb\bb_skinm_de.nif cannot load file in Meshes\bb\bb_skinm_de.nif.

When I enter a new game (no saves yet) the graphics are basically the same except that my character and all the NPCs are shrouded in yellow and purple blocks.

I've tried loading the mods into the steam directory for the game and the morrowind directory in the bethesda folder. No idea what to try next.

I tried that turned off steam's in-game overlay thingamajig too, no luck.

I deleted all the local content, reinstalled, hopefully I'll have more luck tomorrow.

Except for combat. Combat in Morrowind let it down a lot. Both exceptional games though.

Focus on your main skills and grind for a while and the combat gets a lot better but it's definitely the game's weak point.

Still having no luck with getting the visuals pack to work. Extracted it to 'data files', altered the dates of the relevant .esm and .bsa files, turned off overlay, no joy. Am I the only person having this problem?
