New Mod Lets You Play Morrowind Inside Fallout 4

"modder RPGKing117 has spent the last few weeks getting a specially modded version of the open-source port of Morrowind ( OpenMW) up and running on Fallout 4's PipBoy. And after "countless hours of beating" their "head against a wall," the modder has pulled it off. The mod is out now on PC. You can see what it looks like below in this video demonstration created by RPGKing117 that shows the modder playing Morrowind on a computer inside Fallout 4."

"The mod lets you play the old RPG on both the PipBoy and any in-game PC that can run in-game holotapes. How this is working isn't too complicated, though it does sound like a pain to get running. As explained by the modder, OpenMW runs in a "hidden window locked to 876×700, which gets upscaled" and streamed directly into Fallout 4 in real time."

"The modder uses a custom Fallout 4 Script Extender plugin that handles a lot of the work and helps the player use the keyboard and mouse to play one game while inside another. To get this running on your PC, you'll need to own a copy of Fallout 4 and Morrowind and have F4SE installed already. The mod comes with OpenMW, so don't worry about that."

"Just keep in mind that you'll need to run both games at the same time, so don't try this on an old junk PC or a weaker device like a Steam Deck. Oh, and because RPGKing117 has already been asked many, many times, yes, the modder is working on a similar mod that will let you play the"

A mod enables playing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind inside Fallout 4 through the Pip-Boy and also on in-game PCs that support holotapes. The setup uses an open-source OpenMW port running in a hidden window locked to 876×700, which is upscaled and streamed into Fallout 4 in real time. A custom Fallout 4 Script Extender plugin handles integration and allows keyboard and mouse control while playing one game inside another. The mod is available for PC and requires owning Fallout 4 and Morrowind and having F4SE installed. Both games must run simultaneously, so performance requirements are higher than on older or weaker devices.
