📋 About This Mod
This mod prevents map markers on the world map from moving around relatively to the map when a flat world map is used.
Version 1. 1: This version removes the MCM menu and ESP file. Manual toggling should no longer be necessary. The newest version of Paper World Map Addons fully includes this mod.
When using a 2D world map the map markers are still in 3D and markers for mountains will float above the plane of the map. This mod fixes that by visually moving the markers onto the same plane as the 2D map. Since version 1. 1 everything is done by the SKSE plugin. No scripts, no menus and no esp file.
Conflicts
- []The mod should only conflict with another SKSE plugin doing the same or something very similar. []This mod is included (with an adjusted configuration file) in Paper World Map Addons by Duncanlarsen1.
- []Skyrim 32bit (latest) []Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) (latest) []A 2D map. Configured out of the box for A Quality World Map and Solstheim Map - With Roads (Paper version). Paper World Map Addons already includes this mod.
Configuration The mod can be configured in the file SKSE/Plugins/flat_map_markers.ini. If you want to toggle 2D/3D manually you can set a hotkey and disable the auto-toggle functionality. To use a map other than those mentioned in the requirements you will need to make some changes:
- []Adjust the MarkerHeight to match the z-coordinate of the map plane (TES5Edit: usually the "Cell Z Offset" in the map's Worldspace). []Add a [... Map] section for every map that is in 2D.
This SKSE plugin fixes the annoying issue of map markers floating and shifting when panning the 2D world map in Skyrim. It locks markers to the map plane for stable positioning. A small utility mod with 1,136 endorsements, last updated in 2017, so compatibility with current Skyrim versions may be uncertain.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,136 endorsements and 28,350 downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance for players who use 2D maps.
- Simple, focused fix—no bloat, just does one thing.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not work with the latest Skyrim versions or SKSE updates.
- Only affects 2D world maps; if you use 3D maps, this mod does nothing for you.
- Requires SKSE, which adds an extra setup step for players who haven't installed it.
For Skyrim players who prefer the classic 2D world map and hate when markers drift while panning. If you're a purist who sticks to vanilla UI and want a stable map experience, this is for you. Skip if you use 3D map mods or don't mind the marker movement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't activate.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod like any other and let the manager handle file placement.
- Since the mod is from 2017, check the mod's comments or forum for any user reports about compatibility with your Skyrim version before installing.
