📋 About This Mod
It is a first Soul Cairn map available in the game. I'm not really satisfied with this one (no terrain features to proceed from, no isometric assets for those random buildings available, awful gamma etc) but that should do for a while, at least it will help you to navigate. 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.
Requirements
-
- 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": "Soul Cairn",
"editorID": "DLC01SoulCairn",
"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.
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.

Future Plans
Just better version with proper gamma and isometric ruins.
