📋 About This Mod
Version: 9. 0. 1 / 8. 4 (12/11/2016)
VIVID and CLASSIC
This mod provides a new set of highly-detailed world map textures, complete with roads! This mod also adds a detailed Solsteim map. Best when coupled with the "Clear Map Skies" add-on.
The Vivid style is new in 9. 0, and features a refreshed look for the world map and larger, more detailed textures. It includes most roads (artistically selected by IcePenguin) and a detailed Solstheim map. You can select between Stone Roads (which makes some roads appear cobblestone on the map), and Flat Roads (a more dirt-like style). The Vivid 9. 0 includes an ESP file. IcePenguin added this in order to tweak the appearance of the weather in the world map in order to improve overall appearance.
The Classic style is the version used in A Quality World Map 8. 4 (April 2015) and includes a detailed Solstheim map. You can select between All Roads or Main Roads. Please use the 8. 4 Installer for all included options.
PAPER
For the first time, a flat, high quality paper map is available from the world map for Skyrim. Rather than being a simple copy of the existing paper map texture, it was painstakingly recreated using worldspace reference screenshots, the map texture, and custom art assets. The result is something any adventurer would be proud to have tucked away in their pack.
A paper map for Solstheim is not included. It will appear similarly to the way it does in the Vivid style in 3D.
The Paper 9. 0 includes an ESP file. IcePenguin added this in order to tweak the appearance of the weather in the world map in order to improve overall appearance. It also includes necessary changes in order to enforce certain camera restrictions in order for the mod to appear correctly.
Due to a chance that another mod can overwrite this mod's necessary edits to the Tamriel worldspace, it is highly recommended to load this near the end of your plugin load order.
Tilt/zoom controls are disabled when viewing the paper map. You can still pan the camera.
Have fun!
CLEAR MAP SKIES
Using this add-on (for VIVID and CLASSIC only) removes all clouds from the center of the map
