📋 About This Mod
Forgotten Vale Paper Map for FWMF
It is a first Forgotten Vale map available in the game as well as first flat isometric one. Hope it will help you to navigate here and will add little bit of immersion. Mod continues series of paper maps for a Flat World Map Framework (FWMF).
Flat World Map Framework uses mainly vertical look at map, but allows limited inclination and rotation with held right button as well.
INI file with comments included in FWMF allows to tune map control (keyboard, mouse and gamepad), possible angles and blur.

- FWMF
Installation
The archive is mod manager compatible.
Install FWMF FOMOD first (Fantasy Paper Maps package preferable). Make sure FMWF is the last in plugins list (only weather fixes or FWMF various patches may be lower), then install this mod normally and place it last in mod order.
Make sure Flat Map Markers config file (FlatMapMarkersSSE.json) has this part:
"name": "Forgotten Vale",
"editorID": "DLC01FalmerValley",
"markerHeight": 180000,
"enabled": true
Compatibility
Compatible - Skyrim SE/AE/GOG (1. 6. 640 including), but be sure to pick your exact Skyrim version during FWMF FOMOD installation.
Soft compatibility - Forgotten Vale Map Markers (there will be 2 different "To Skyrim" markers), if that is an issue use this patch.
Not compatible - any map mods except FMWF.
Recommended Mods
Atlas Map Markers - Updated with MCM works perfect and smaller markers make map more readable. Just be sure to put Atlas' .esp before FWMF in load order.
Get along with most UI overhauls. Dear Diary UI and its skins are highly recommended.
Known Issues
None so far.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,468 endorsements and 2.6 million downloads — this is a proven mod.
- Handmade paper style fits Skyrim's aesthetic perfectly, making the map menu feel more immersive.
- Actively maintained (last updated Nov 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires FWMF as a dependency — you'll need to install that first, which adds setup steps.
- Only affects the Forgotten Vale map; other regions remain unchanged, so it's a niche addition.
For Skyrim players who use FWMF and want a cohesive, hand-drawn map aesthetic. Perfect for lore enthusiasts and immersion-focused modders. Skip if you don't use FWMF or don't care about map visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure FWMF is installed and working before adding this mod, as it relies on FWMF's map framework.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order — place this mod after FWMF to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If the map doesn't appear, double-check that FWMF is active and that you're in the Forgotten Vale region when viewing the map.
