📋 About This Mod
About this Mod
This mod automatically toggles the visibility of the Minimap when menus are opened (this also includes the Title Sequence during/at the start of the Main Quest).
This issue, of the minimap being visible in those menus, however seems to only occur if you use a mod to unpause the game for said menus.
My theory to why is that it uses the "IsMenuMode" (explained here), which only seems to work for game pausing menus.
Quote from the Site:
- Dialogue, because the game isn't paused, will not put the game into "menu mode". This state appears to be undetectable by any simple means, but possibly may be worked around with things like IsTalking, IsInDialogueWithPlayer, etc.
Therefore I created additional triggers for all the menus I tested that didn't trigger the hiding of the minimap and hide it when one of the menus is open and show it again once all the menus are closed.
Installation
Install the Minimap mod and Skyrim Souls RE (and their dependencies)
Install this using any mod manager that isn't the old NMM.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: kills that annoying minimap overlay in unpaused menus
- Tiny download, no bloat—just a targeted fix
- Decent community trust (151 endorsements) for a niche patch
⚠️ Cons
- Only relevant if you run Skyrim Souls RE plus a minimap mod—otherwise useless
- Last updated in January 2022, so might be outdated for newer game versions
- Potential conflicts with other UI overhauls that touch menu behavior
For Skyrim players who use Skyrim Souls RE and a minimap mod and are tired of the minimap cluttering their menu screens. Skip if you don't use both mods or if you're fine with the vanilla behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim Souls RE and your minimap mod installed first, then drop this patch in your load order after both.
- If you use a mod manager, just install and activate—no extra configuration needed.
- Test with a few different unpaused menus (like inventory or map) to confirm the fix works.
