| Sep 9, 2016 at 11:39 | comment | added | user37332 | Im pretty sure the issue here is that both skyrim mods and morrowind mods use .esp and .esm extensions (Elder Scrolls plugin, Elder Scrolls main iirc). Basically, as long as both games read their own files, I doubt there'd be any issues. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 21:31 | comment | added | Yorik | File associations cannot do this: they are simply hints for when you manually open/print/right-click+context menu a specific file so Windows knows which program to start first. You probably ran a poorly programmed Morrowind patcher that scanned your files and edited them (such as some sort of HD texture replacement), or you have a "morrowind fixer" DLL that hooks into DirectX calls (etc). | |

fixed formatting, grammar, cleaned up the question a bit

| Sep 8, 2016 at 20:45 | comment | added | Mazura | I'm pretty sure neither of the games themselves can do this to each other. The culprit is your mod manager, I think, having made a bad registry entry (or possibly an ini setting). Which will persist until you get the manager working right or properly un/re - installed. | |

| Sep 8, 2016 at 19:55 | comment | added | Mazura | "the mods"... that means you're using a mod manager? Uninstall everything, clean your registry and reinstall. Or try using the manager's undo/uninstall feature. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 19:45 | comment | added | nightsurfer | I would try what @Dallium says. Reinstalling should re-write whatever associations Windows has created, as well as resetting whatever associations Skyrim made to those files. If every little rock texture was given a similar "rock01" name between Morrowind and Skyrim, then perhaps the game just used the "newest" one (that being Morrowind, as in most recently installed). | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 19:38 | comment | added | Dallium | Reinstall Skyrim and make sure you aren't installing them in the same place | |
