One of the most remarkable features of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a tool that many people don't even realize has been given to them: The Construction Set. This is the very tool used by the developers to create the world of Morrowind and its expansion packs, including all dungeons, characters, creatures, buildings, trees and anything else you can find in the game world.

With this tool you can modify the game world or create your own plugins, and immediately use them and share them on the web. For example, you could create a custom home complete with furnishings and people, or you could create new kinds of creatures, or even a whole landmass complete with a city and a castle.

While the actual steps involved are beyond the scope of this web page, you can see in the included screenshots that the Construction Set can be used to easily create and edit creatures and buildings, interior and exterior spaces, and even modify the behavior of actors (creatures and other characters in the game world).

With the construction set, thousands of plugins created by people just like you have been made available for download. For example, the plugin "The White Wolf of Lokken Mountain" is freely downloadable and adds an enormous island east of Solstheim, adding at least 20 hours of play time, including danger, romance, and -- if you play your cards right -- you might find yourself the owner of the castle. Another plugin, "Children of Morrowind" adds 330 talking, playing and interacting children all across Morrowind, adding a greater sense of realism. Many companion plugins exist, as well, which provide you with a partner to accompany you in your travels. Thousands of quality plugins available for free, created by people who love the Morrowind game and its endless opportunities.
