Immersive Terrain War Maps

This will replace the Skyrim Province War Map, which contains an immersive terrain map with geo-accurate locations.

*WARNING*: This is not an immersive mode (even though it has "immersive" in the title). This is a map based on z993126's awesome terrain map, I just played around with the colors, overlays, cropping and symbol keys to make it more immersive.

describe:

This replaces the Skyrim war map (the map with red and blue flagpoles) and the immersive terrain map with geo-accurate locations. I developed this version for the Equip-able Maps SE mod so Dragonborn can successfully navigate Skyrim in competitive immersion without the need for the game's world map system (picture was taken in Skyrim VR using the Equip-able Maps mod). I'm going to see if I can put together an immersive working compass, but until then using the in-game compass, maybe you might want to use Sensible Hardcore Compass to remove compass markers outside of the four cardinal directions (NSEW) for maximum navigation realism. It's also a great use for Psijic Teleport Spells-SSE, as it has the ability to teleport you as a spell in Skyrim, and having a geographically accurate map would be a big help.

For this mod, I basically made ExE Boss's Mods - Terrain Map using z993126's incredible Skyrim Terrain Map (Oldrim). But I changed the colors and normal maps to make it more realistic to the Skyrim feel, and I added icon keys so you know what you're waking up to/riding, with the compass rising. I also added a normal/specular map that removes most of the shine so you can see it in direct sunlight.

Please note that I will not provide general support on how to enable and use the mod. There are other (better) places to get this information.

Now just download using your favorite mod manager (Vortex/MO2/NMM).

z993126 - An awesome terrain map for making Skyrim

ExEBoss - Idea for using terrain maps as a replacement for war maps.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

*Warning*:This is not intended to be an immersion mod (even though "immersive" is in the title).  This is a map that based on z993126's awesome topographic map, I just fiddled with the colors, overlay, cropping, and the symbol key to make it a bit more immersive.

Description:

This replaces the Skyrim province War Maps (the ones with the red and blue flag-pins) with an immersive topographic map with geographically-accurate locations.  I developed this for the Equip-able Maps SE mod so the Dragonborn can successfully navigate Skyrim in compete immersion without needing the game's world map system (pictures are taken in Skyrim VR with the Equip-able Maps mod).  I'm going to see if I can throw together an immersive working compass as well, but until then use the in-game compass, and perhaps you may want to use Sensible Hardcore Compass to remove compass markers besides the four cardinal directions (NSEW) for maximum navigational realism.  It's also a great use for the Psijic Teleport Spells - SSE as it has an ability that lets you teleport anywhere in skyrim as a spell, and having a geographically accurate map will be a big help.

For this mod, I essentially did what the ExE Boss's Mods - Topographic Map did with z993126's incredible Skyrim topographic map (Oldrim).  But I changed the colors and normal map to make it more true to the Skyrim feel, and I added the icon key so you know what you're waking/riding to and a compass rose.  I also added a normal/specular map that removes most of the shine so you can view it in direct sunlight.
