Due to some problems with my computer I'm forced to reinstall MW. There are many great texture replacers out there, embellishing nature and towns and interiors and whatnot.
Now, I do want a good looking game but I don't want game performance to slow down too much. That was pretty much the case with my last installation, but I had many different texture replacers installed (not to mention a lot of other FPS killing mods).
Which texture replacers do you recommend, keeping the above in mind? I'm running a Pentium 4 2.66 GHz with a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200.

Might want to search on texture. I know it's been discussed, before. But likely other people here will have their own ideas.

I'll try to answer, later, if I have some time.

This might help.

EDIT: I didn't name that link by the way.

Thanks, ML! I'd never even heard of this site but it's just what I needed!

Fable, I did do some searching (I'm one of these annoying non-moderators who tells others to use the search-button, it's what it's there for, we've got enough threads as it is, etc. ) on GB and other forums but information about textures is a bit fragmented and inconsistent. I figured this would make a good and useful thread.

I've used both VibrantMorrowind and the UltimateTexture mods.
I prefer the VibrantMorrowind mod and am using it on my current games.
In the past I have had problems with some texture packs and certain house mods. Ever so often I change the textures to give the game a "new" feel.
Have not tried DarkerMorrowind but have it dl'ed for a future playthrough.

Of the various texture packs I've tried, I tend to prefer "Ultimate Textures" because it slows my ancient (a 6-yr old P3) PC down less than the others for some reason, and I like the naturalistic look, which I find works better with the feel of the game. Of course, that is just me, I generally dislike really bright colours.

They are all good though. What I'd suggest, is once you have the game with the official patches installed, do a backup of your Textures folder. That way you can try the different replacers without a problem.

Thanks, DW. These days I always make a back up anyway before installing most mods. I learned that lesson the hard way
