📋 About This Mod

This mod is now available on Skyrim Special Edition!

If I was going around, filling in my map, myself, as I explored mines; I would put a note, on the map, as to what each mine was. That way I wouldn't go half way across the country and waste time mining in an iron mine, if I needed gold! This mod adds the type of ore in each mine to it's name on the map, so mines like 'Bilegulch Mine' become 'Bilegulch Mine (Orichalcum).' It also adds a number of map markers, to mines on the map, so that main cities don't have ores appended to their names.

MINES WITH ALTERED NAMES:

  • []Bilegulch Mine (Orichalcum)[/] []Embershard Mine (Iron) [/][]Gloombound Mine (Ebony)[/] []Kolskegger Mine (Gold)[/] []Left Hand Mine (Iron)[/] []Lost Prospect Mine (Gold)[/] []Northwind Mine (Iron)[/] []Soljund's Sinkhole (Moonstone)[/] []Whistling Mine (Iron)[/]
MAP MARKERS ADDED TO THE MAP:
  • []Dushnikh Mine (Orichalcum) [/][]Fenn's Gulch Mine (Silver) [/][]Fort Fellhammer Mine (Iron) [/][]Goldenrock Mine (Corundum)[/] []Halted Stream Mine (Iron)[/] []Iron Breaker Mine (Iron)[/] []Mor Khazgur Mine (Orichalcum)[/] []Quicksilver Mine (Quicksilver)[/] []Redbelly Mine (Ebony)[/] []Rockwallow Mine (Iron)[/] []Sanuarach Mine (Silver)[/] []Steamscorch Mine (Malachite)[/]
MAP MARKER CHANGES:
  • []Soljund's Sinkhole (Cave -> Mine): The cave is short, contains more then enough mining spots, and is the only Moonstone mine.[/]
  • []Darkwater Crossing (Mine -> Town): Goldenrock Mine is now marked, itself. The settlement can be shown as a settlement.[/]
SKUP COMPATIBILITY MOD DIFFERENCES:
  • []Updated Redbelly Mine to Iron.[/] []Updated Northwind Mine to Ebony. [/]
NOTE: Please let me know if anyone sees any errors, or let me know if you have any requests or opinions. I am here to serve! This is a very simple mod; however, so I don't expect many.

Some people might find the inclusion of some map markers (like Fort Fellhammer) to be redundant, as there is a marker for the  Fort and the Mine. I, personally, wanted to be able to find a fort (or get the marker from a quest) without psychic knowledge that there was a mine inside. I also like the fort still being marked as a fort
