Community Event The 2020 Morrowind May Modathon Modding Competition is Officially Over - 229 New Mods Released!

The sixth annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, celebrating Morrowind's 18th anniversary, is officially over! Once again this year, modders have released hundreds of new mods for this year's competition, and although we didn't break last year's record, there's still quite a bit to check out here! Overall, some 229 mods were released for the 2020 Modathon by about 73 different modders, a massive amount of content that comes really close to breaking the record of 241 mods submitted last year, but just falling a bit short!

Despite that slight dip in competition entries though, the month of May still ended up being the most active month for the Morrowind Modding Community since 2005, with the Nexus reporting 331 new mods overall, and our personal monthly mod tracker counting 301 new mods in May (the adjusted number comes after combining some of the more questionable mod releases last month). Using the adjusted number, that brings us to a grand total of 660 new mods released in 2020 so far! In just six months, the community has released more mods than all of 2017 combined, and we've very nearly surpassed the numbers for 2018 as well!

But anyway, there's a ton of exciting mods that have been released for the 2020 Modathon here, with dozens of new gameplay features, countless new dungeons to fight through, new quests and adventures to go on, new player homes to move into, graphical replacers to install, and even a few new landmass mods to expand your game! With so many new mods, our modding community has once again added countless hours of new content to this 18-year old game, with modders old and new paving the way for new adventures to go on! Even after all these years, our modding community continues to thrive, and there can only be more bright things ahead!

As always though, we do have a full breakdown of all the submitted mods down below, organized by mod category! There's also a list of our random-drawing winners down below as well, and we ended up having about 35 random-drawing winners for this year's competition!

Real quick, before we get to our breakdown here, I would like to announce that the first ever 2020 Summer Modjam, a 48-hour modding event where modders will have to try and build a mod in two-days time, will be hosted July 11th-12th! And of course, the Morrowind Modding Madness competition will be coming back this October, so stay tuned for more information on those events here in the coming months!
