Most, if not all, of what you see here was taken from TheLys Morrowind mod site, one of the best mod sites out there. The following utilities ease and enhance the creation of mods, so if you`re into modding (or plan to start it) make sure you look through this list and get many of the recommended programs. Many descriptions are quoted as well, but don`t shoot!
Note: I have intentionally skipped direct linking to TheLys in most places because they have enough bandwidth issues anyway.

GenMod v3.0 by Jim Adam
GenMod helps you create new interiors Morrowind. It generates ESP mods containing one or more interior cells. The goal of GenMod is to do as much of the repetitive drudge work as possible, so you can focus on high-level mod design and final tweaking.

BSA Browser by Argent
This utility allows you to browse, pack, unpack, and register Bethesda Softworks Archive (BSA) files (scary sounding extension) with a user friendly interface. This program was inspired by ghostwheel`s BSAPack (which the program uses to perform 3 of the 4 functions mentioned), and Splender of the Ashlands' BSA Reader, which are both command line utilities.
It requires Java Runtime Environment.

GMST Cleaner by Argent
The purpose of this application is to provide a quick and easy way to clean mods of the 'evil' GMST entries that get dumped into plug-in files. This will remove the 11 entries that Tribunal adds and the 61 added by Bloodmoon. This program will not remove other intentional GMST entries, only entries that are identical to the 'evil' ones.
It requires Java Runtime Environment.

Immersive Architect by Argent
The idea behind this tool is to utilize the Morrowind game engine as a world building tool. It allows towns/cities to be built in-game instead of using the construction set. Placeholder items are carried in inventory, and are dropped on the ground to place building meshes in the game world. When the town is built, save your game and use the Morrowind Immersive Architect utility to copy your newly built city into a plug-in file.
It requires Java Runtime Environment.
