📋 About This Mod
The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal's World Map only looks as intended for users of Community Shaders. With Engine Fixes, the map is completely broken. This mod fixes these issues.
Fixes the broken world map borders in The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal - 10th Anniversary for players not using Community Shaders, and resolves the missing landscape issue caused by SSE Engine Fixes. Offers two visual options: rounded borders (original intent) or vanilla-style clouds. ESL-flagged, safe to install anytime.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly fixes a real visual bug that affects many players (187 endorsements, 11k downloads).
- Gives you two border styles to pick from, so you can match your game's aesthetic.
- Works around the SSE Engine Fixes landscape bug without needing to change your setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Only relevant if you use The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal - 10th Anniversary and don't use Community Shaders.
- Doesn't add new content or features—it's a pure bug fix, so if you expected more, this isn't it.
- Requires the original mod to be installed, and you must avoid generating LOD for the Alik'r Desert worldspace with xLODGen.
For Skyrim players who have The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal - 10th Anniversary and are annoyed by the square map borders or the broken landscape when using SSE Engine Fixes. If you already use Community Shaders, you might not need this, but the cloud border option could still appeal. Skip if you don't have the original mod or don't care about map aesthetics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use SSE Engine Fixes, this mod will fix the missing landscape, but make sure you don't generate LOD for the Alik'r Desert worldspace with xLODGen, or the fix may not work.
- Choose Option 1 for rounded borders if you like the original mod author's vision, or Option 2 for a more vanilla feel—you can switch anytime.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit, but keep it after the original mod.
