📋 About This Mod

Summary

A Clear Map of Skyrim and Other Worlds enhances the map to make it more useful so you can't get lost. And it looks AMAZING!

TL;DR
  • []Roads.

    []Support for other land mods including Beyond Reach, Bruma, Falskaar, Midwood Isle, Vominheim, and Wyrmstooth.

    []It modifies the map's weather to enhance visibility and responsiveness to the time of day. Also adds unique map weather (requires Unique Map Weather by doodlez) to Blackreach, the Soul Cairn, Sovngarde, Solstheim, the Forgotten Vale, Skuldafn, and Lastendell (from Midwood Isle).

    []It fixes z-fighting between terrain and water on the map.

    []Map markers too close? You can actually select the right one now!

    []Missing maps to other worlds in the game have also been added, including the most confusing locations of Blackreach, the Forgotten Vale, and the Soul Cairn, as well as Skuldafn and Sovngarde for kicks and giggles.

    []Custom rules to be used with DynDOLOD, which allows it to have missing elements added to the map that previously could not be seen. The results are impressive, to say the least.

    Roads

    For roads, I provide three options starting with version 4. 0:

    • []First option (good) is install the "Lazy" optional file. You just install that one and you're done.

      []The second option (better) is to use the ACMOS Road Generator to apply roads to your own terrain LOD output from xLODGen.

      []The third option (best) is to use the "Paths Only" version from ACMOS Road Generator while also installing FOLIP. FOLIP uses DynDOLOD to generate object LOD roads on the map, which will automatically place roads based on your installed mods, which allows roads to show on any map, even ones not officially noted above.

      Map Camera Fixes

      Ever visit Mount Kilkreath? Talk with Meridia? Get taken up into the clouds? Isn't that an amazing way to view Skyrim?

      Ever wish you could just tilt up and down, rotate a full turn, do backflips in mid-air? (Ok, that last one's a joke).

      Ever want to fast travel to the Thieve's Guild's secret entrance, but fat click on the main city of Riften instead? And then after getting to Riften, you try to fast travel to Markarth, but the city of Markarth is just like a centimeter too far away for you to reach its map marker?

      Enough questions!

      The following map camera fixes are utilized:

      [*]Zooming out and in has been increased to more appropriate levels.
