About this mod
This mod is inspired and uses assets from "Warburg's Paper World Map". It requires "Flat World Map Framework" (FWMF) to work properly and uses "Paper Skyrim and Solstheim World Maps by Mirhayasu" as a base. It changes the default 3D Skyrim & Solstheim map to a flat traditional lore-friendly (8K) paper map. Works for both SSE and AE. Enjoy~

Tadaaa!
And here is the story behind this project
And here is the story behind this project
Back when I used to play Skyrim Legendary Edition (LE), I fell in love with Warburg's and Duncanlarsen1's maps for Skyrim and Solstheim respectively.
They were paper maps that were simple and useful, not to mention beautiful and used Bethesda's style.
Fast-forward a couple of years and I've finally got back into the swing of things and started modding once more.
I finished with all of my graphical mods just to find out that Warburg's Paper World Map is outdated and doesn't even work on Anniversary Edition (AE)
Then I found out Flat World Map Framework and was sad to see that nobody ported Warburg's and Duncanlarsen1's maps that I fell in love with all of those years ago.
And after trying a lot of the options available for FWMF I've set my mind on a new goal. I shall rework and port Warburg's and Duncanlarsen1's amazing maps to the wonderful Flat World Map Framework by pavelk and make them work for Anniversary Edition (AE)!
All credits go to Warburg, Duncanlarsen1, pavelk, Bethesda & me respectively.
So what do I have to offer in the end?
All new, reworked, upscaled (up to 8K) and optimized maps for both Skyrim and Solstheim that work with FWMF and Anniversary Edition (AE) flawlessly and let's not forget the main reason for this, they look gorgeous!
Both maps are 8K which means - BIG!
You will not be able to view or appreciate the textures through the screenshots shown here!
They have been optimized and are used only in the map's separate UI menu,
which means that almost everybody should be able to use them without any lag or issues!
Requirements- Flat World Map Framework (FWMF) - Essential mod (You will not be able to use these maps properly without it!)
Installation
1. Install Flat World Map Framework (1.7+).
1.1. Pick your 'Flat Map Markers' version - SE for Special Edition or AE for Anniversary Edition.
1.2. Pick your 'Whitelisted worldspaces' - Pick 'Skyrim and Solstheim' or any of the others (Do NOT pick 'Skyrim Only'!)
1.3. Pick your 'FWMF versions' - Here you will need to pick 'FWMF for Fantasy Paper Maps' if you want this mod to work as intended!
1.4. Pick your 'Weather Overhaul' if you are using any and the patch for 'Water for ENB' if you are using it.
1.5. Pick 'Throat of the World purple texture' fix as it is mandatory and any other fixes you desire.
2. Install Traditional (8K) Skyrim and Solstheim Paper Maps for FWMF(This mod!)
2.1. Always load it/install it after Flat World Map Framework so it overrides it's files!
[Example] It should look like this if you are using MO2:
3. Enjoy your new traditional 8K gorgeous maps!
[Optional - Quick tip]
4. If you are using 'Water for ENB' (which I strongly recommend!) your load order should look something like this:
4.1. If you are having issues with distant water that means that your load order is messed up.
4.2. Configure it correctly and you shouldn't have any more issues!
