📋 About This Mod

This mod removes all the clouds of the world map including outside the borders and on Soltheim. There is an optional file to remove noise, but keep in mind that it will make the terrain look less detailed in the distance since it is used outside of the map as well.

I am using World Map - Skyrim Hold Borders for the screenshots. It is compatible with SSE.

Update 1. 1: Fixed missing mesh and texture path.

Update 1. 2: Removed map clouds of Soltheim.

Update 1. 3: Fixed noise shade to fix dark LOD textures and moved it to optional files in case you want to keep crispy LOD terrain. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks to 4u2Epic for the showcase!
