Below is a list of the mods I use/have used in my various Morrowind series (or just mods that I generally recommend trying out).
OpenMW
OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine for the original Morrowind. This is an excellent option for those seeking a "vanilla-like" experience with better performance on modern systems. Probably my current favorite way to play the game.
Morrowind Overhaul - Sounds and Graphics

An automatic configuration tool that includes many of the mods below, including the Morrowind Graphics Extender, the Morrowind Code Patch, Better Bodies, and a ton of additional visual and gameplay tweaks. Everything is fully configurable and customizable. It has a couple issues (addressed below), and is not for purists, but all-in-all, but is a good "one-stop shop" if you want a more modernized take on Morrowind.

Morrowind Graphics Extender
This tool allows the user to modify the game files to allow settings like increased view distance, widescreen resolutions, and various other visual tweaks. Included in the Morrowind Overhaul above.
Better Bodies
This mod replaces the awful body meshes and textures from the vanilla game. Pretty much a required mod, IMO. Just be warned that this mod can include nudity if you configure it that way. Make sure you use the underwear version to keep it PG-rated. ;) Included in the Morrowind Overhaul above.
Better Clothes
Companion to the Better Bodies mod, this mod redoes the common armor and clothing meshes and textures to better fit the new bodies. Included in the Morrowind Overhaul above.
More Better Clothes
Same as above, but adds the rest of the clothes that were previously missed. Included in the Morrowind Overhaul above.
Passive Healthy Wildlife
This mod makes all normal creatures, except those that are supposed to be aggressive, leave you alone unless you provoke them. Diseased and Blighted creatures still attack as normal. Sick of Cliff Racers? Get this.
HELLLUVA Wicked Weapons
This mod adds a TON of weapons to the game (apparently over 1500!), including my personal favorite: the Daedric Crossbow. Sure, they may not all be balanced, but they sure are fun!

Fair Magicka Regen
Makes your Magicka regenerate over time, like in Oblivion or Skyrim. Best of all, it does calculations based on your maximum Magicka and Willpower, so the effect will level with you.
Download at Nexus Mods
Official Mods Compilation
A compilation of the free official plugins that were created by Bethesda (no longer available through normal means). These include some new items, quests, and NPCs. I believe the GOG version may include these mods already, but the Steam version does not.
Download at Nexus Mods
Simple MGSO Table Fix
Fixes the missing table mesh in the Morrowind overhaul above. If you watched my Morrowind series, you know the one...
Download at Nexus Mods
MGSO 3 Broken Doors Fix
Fixes a couple doors that were removed/broken by mistake in the Morrowind Overhaul above. Most notably, fixes the guard tower in Suran (so you can get the second Sword of White Woe).
Download at Nexus Mods

This total conversion offers a new landmass, main quest, new factions and NPCs, and a completely original story. There's some humor, some drama, and some jankiness. What's not to love?

Sword of the Perithia Total Conversion:

This total conversion offers a new landmass, main quest, new factions and NPCs, and a completely original story. There's some humor, some drama, and some jankiness. What's not to love?
Wizards Islands Total Conversion
This total conversion offers a completely new story, landmass, factions, and NPCs. There are some fairly impressive special effects and new areas. Definitely worth checking out.
Emba-5 Total Conversion
Sometimes referred to as "Morrowind in Russia," this total conversion actually takes place in the city of Zhem, Kazakhstan (formerly Soviet-controlled Emba-5). The mod features a new landmass a questline that takes you through most of the new areas, and some neat extras. Although this mod is highly-memable and often hilarious, there was clearly a lot of love put into recreating the creator's home city. Worth a look, even if only for the curiosity of the whole thing. Do note: the entire mod is in Russian.
