Skyrim HeatMap for Mo2

Description

Hotmap analyzes your active Mod Organizer 2 load order, indexes all cell edits across Skyrim, and gives you an interactive conflict heatmap, a custom region planner, deep two-way MO2 integration, and online mod discovery powered by modmapper.com.

First and foremost, a special thanks to Tyler Hallada from modmapper.com for his wonderful idea, the ESP file parser example, and API access to the fantastic database that maps mods to in-game world cells—as well as to the Skyrim modding community!

modmapper.com is the realization of a brilliant idea: how to check which locations in large builds haven’t been modified at all.

I’d been waiting a long time for a plugin similar to the one he created for Voitrex… so I decided to make it myself :)

Now you can not only track your mods on the map, but also create your own map that lets you place mods on it, so you can see which regions you’ve already modified and quickly find mods by clicking on the map.

You can also click on a map cell to instantly get a list of all mods in Nexus that interact with it, sorted by best match to the region—which is very convenient when you’re looking for a suitable mod or patch specifically for that location!

The parser is written entirely in Python, so the plugin requires absolutely no dependencies.
