Again, this is a special permission you are granted since technically, even if made from scratch, it is a derivative work (as it is modeled after something else and meant to resemble it) and thus potentially liable to be sued about for copyright infringement. You do not have the right to do it.Īlternatively, you can get a modeler to make entirely from scratch a model that looks a lot like one from Oblivion but it needs to be made from scratch.

That Bethesda allows you to release modified meshes or textures for the same game they're from is already something you can only do with permission. Your chance to get the Morrowind Chapter free with your pre-purchase of the upcoming The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Chapter is ending s Coming Soon. Bethesda permits it anyway because there aren't any other practical way to distribute mods using modified textures. Technically, this includes, for example, retextures of, say, Morrowind stuff even for Morrowind itself. More precisely: it is illegal to DISTRIBUTE any copyrighted content to which you do not have a copyright license. A legal copy of Morrowind and its expansions are still required to play Morrowind via OpenMW, but you don’t need to own the game to play games made in the new Construction Set-style modding.
