Fan Community Rebuilding The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind With Skyrim Engine
A community of fans, discontent with the lack of Morrowind in their Skyrim, is taking matters into their own hands, by rebuilding Morrowind with Skyrim's engine.
According to the project's website's FAQ, "[Skywind] is a non-commercial, fan made modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that seeks to merge the amazing world of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with the enhanced graphics and capabilities of Skyrim's engine."
If you're interested in checking it out, version 0.8 is now available for public download.
This isn't the first project like this built by this community. Morroblivion, similarly, is a mod for the The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine that allows players to play Morrowind with the Obliviion engine.
There are a number of trailers showing off both mods on the community's YouTube page. The latest trailer for Skywind is below. Head to the Morroblivion.com to learn more about the project.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
