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. Legacy version includes patch for SSE Engine fixes, install it if you have this plugin.
Compatibility
Compatible - SE/AE/GOG (1. 6. 640 including), but be sure to pick your exact Skyrim version during FWMF FOMOD installation.
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.
