July 2023 Progress Update

Tamriel Rebuilt is a massive community modding project for TES III: Morrowind that adds the mainland of the province to the original game, aiming to quadruple the size of the game world. The mod is developed and released as a series of fully realized expansions that seamlessly integrate sections of new land into the rest of the game world. Many such expansions have been released in the more than two decades that the mod has been in development; hence, players can already download and enjoy a landmass twice the size of the original game with thousands of interiors and NPCs complete with dialogue, and more than 500 new quests.

It has been quite a while since the last implementation progress update - all the way since October 2022, just prior to the release of our double expansions, Dominions of Dust and Embers of Empire. Those who read our previous teaser on the upcoming Andaram expansion will know that Tamriel Rebuilt development has been progressing at rapid pace since then.

This post will cover most of what the implementation team - that is, exterior and interior level designers and quest developers - has been doing in the past nine months (asset development has a separate progress report). For a Too Long; Didn't Read edition:

• release of Dominions of Dust and Embers of Empire expansions (duh)
• completion of more than a hundred new quests for the Andaram expansion
• a major expansion and update to Almas Thirr's exterior, interiors, and quests
• interior work on the Narsis expansion is close to conclusion, and the first quests are now being worked on
• several exterior claims of the new Sundered Scar and all the interiors of the remade town of Darvonis are now finished
• the first exteriors for the Othreleth Woods expansions are finished, and interior development has begun
• the Tamriel Rebuilt version of the island of Firemoth is very close to being finalized, and a few new islands have been created on the fringes of Morrowind

Read on for a more detailed breakdown of this progress, divided between the different expansions which we mean to release in succession.

Yours truly has been rather lazy in compiling these reports, hence this one will be especially long... but maybe you will stick it out! If you like much more frequent bite-sized updates, be sure to check out Denis418's posts on our new #progress-reports Discord channel.

For the following, it is helpful to know that development work on Tamriel Rebuilt is split into pre-coordinated claims (e.g. a chunk of the exterior worldspace, a building interior, a quest) that are implemented by individual developers, then reviewed by a team of experienced developers, prior to being merged into larger section files, and eventually, the mod's master file.

As always, the links below will take you to the relevant asset or claims browser pages, but beware of spoilers! Furthermore, beware that the content on the linked pages often falls out of date, and hence may no longer represent the current state or future intent of the development team.
