Devs behind 24-year-old Morrowind mod rebuilding Tamriel expect it to outlast The Elder Scrolls 6: "They worried that Skyrim would kill the mod. They saw it not do that"

For some 24 years, a rotating cast of modders have been working on expanding The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind's map to include the entire continent of Morrowind, and after enduring through the launch of Oblivion, Skyrim, and now Oblivion Remastered, the developers are confident the mod will outlast The Elder Scrolls 6.

I sat down with Tamriel Rebuilt senior developer Jackimoff Wackimoff (I'm going with Jack), and I learned that virtually no one from the original crew that kickstarted Tamriel Rebuilt in 2001 is still working on the mod. Jack has only been around since 2021, and they describe themselves as "one of the most senior developers" on TamrielRebuiltTeam.
