✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 541 endorsements and over 34k downloads.
- Simple visual upgrade that makes map reading way easier.
- Lightweight and doesn't touch gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — might have issues with newer Oblivion versions or mods.
- Only affects map marker colors — no other visual changes.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, drop the mod in and activate it — no extra steps needed.
- Check if you have other map marker mods installed; this one might conflict if they edit the same files.
- Since it's from 2008, test it early in your load order to make sure it doesn't break with your setup.
