Skywind, Morrowind Remake in Skyrim, Gets 2026 Development Update
by John Papadopoulos · DSOGamingThe team behind Skywind, the Morrowind Remake Mod for Skyrim, has released a 2026 development update video for it. In this video, the team highlights all of the tweaks, fixes, improvements, and changes that it has made to Skywind since 2025.
For those unaware, Skywind is a free fan-made mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s a project that aims to recreate the world of Morrowind with Skyrim’s graphics and features. Not only that, but Skywind’s user interface, combat, graphics, and system requirements will be similar to those of Skyrim. So, if you can run Skyrim, you’ll be good to go for Skywind.
According to the team, all the base game art is complete, and they are now working on nice-to-have art and extras.
All base game writing is also complete, and the team is now working on flavor texts and extras. Spellcrafting and the UI are close to complete, and all the essential 3D creatures have been modelled.
2D art is 99% complete, and 3D art is 90% complete. 86% of the exterior levels are complete, and 79% of the interiors are finished. Exterior and interior meshes are 75% complete, and 75% of all the animations are complete.
Visual Effects are at 80% complete, whereas Sound Effects and Music are at 65% and 73%, respectively. Writing and Voice Acting are almost complete as they are above 90%. Quest implementation is also at 87% complete.
The project also has full NPC class systems and traps that can be disarmed using probes. Underwater combat has evolved, and there was progress on UI and controller support in menus.
Speaking of Skyrim Special Edition, here are some other mods for it. Let’s start with some big fan expansions that add new free content to the game. The first one is Wyrmstooth. Wyrmstooth will add new quests and dungeons to the game. Then there is this mod, which brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis, and Legacy of the Dragonborn.
Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Modders have also recreated the classic PSX game, MediEvil, in Skyrim. Shumer and the Priest Kings is another DLC fan expansion mod with over 200 locations and 180+ quests. You can also download these Call of Duty and World of Warcraft mods. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.
And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that add lots of cool stuff.
For instance, this mod allows you to destroy a lot of objects. You can also download this mod that makes the NPCs smarter. With this mod, NPCs will now have a dynamic AI system, and they’ll seek cover. Let’s also not forget this mod that adds a dynamic sanity system. SkyPal is another must-have mod. This mod brings Skyrim and Pokemon together, allowing you to become a Beastmaster.
Last month, we shared a mod that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.0 Redstone. Unfortunately, this is a paid mod. Thankfully, though, Community Shaders adds support for DLSS 4, XeSS, and FSR. These are free to everyone.
Stay tuned for more!
