  1. <Purpose>
  2. - If you talk about 'Immersion', you must mention this mod, seriously!! It's so easy nowadays to know your exact location and what you're facing, but Skyrim is old, there is no GPS, so the map shouldn't have a 'Current Location' marker.
  3. - This mod will make you rely on your surroundings a lot, emphasizing as a result a bunch of mods such as 'Point the way', this mod is a must-have for extreme immersion.
  4. </Purpose>
  5.  
  6. <Notes>
  7. - There are two desired effects from this:
  8. 1st: No GPS marker.
  9. 2nd : Remove the ' Current Location ' from the map.
  10. This mod does both.
  11.  
  12. Unfortunately, when you go to the map, it automatically centers your position, so you can still easily see where you're on the map. I'm okay with this, it still doesn't tell you which way you're facing. And there is no way to change this as i'm aware of, so I can live with that!
  13.  
  14. !!! BEFORE I WAS TRYING TO MEND THE ABOVE PROBLEM, HERE'S WHAT I TRIED !!!
  15. 2nd: Farther View from above (Zoomed out more)
  16. 3rd (OPTIONAL) : Remove the ' Current Location ' from the map.
  17. This mod unfortunately promises to only do the 1st and 3rd, so we'll have to !!(!!BACKUP ON EVERY SINGLE MOVE!!)!! :
  18. - Check if this mod does what it promises to do. (After Installing other map mods)
  19.     - If it does : Google how can you change Max Height Pitch to prevent zooming in a lot. (Example: www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26998)
  20.         - If you succeed : DONE!
  21.         - If you fail : Let it go, the default zoom is not bad, restore any changes made at this point!
  22.     - If it doesn't : Go to the next step.
  23. - Download 'Version 1_2_1' from this mod www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37062
  24.     - Install 'No GPS - Vanilla or Quality World Map version -Sky UI-.rar' + This should do all the 3 desired effects
  25.         - If it works: Try Unchecking the .esp
  26.             - If it still works: DONE!
  27.             - If it stopped working: Check .esp and DONE!
  28.         - If it doesn't work : restore everything and give these two mods one last shot 'Skyrim Compass Tuner' and 'No GPS arrow'.
  29.  
  30. AFTER CHECKING IN-GAME : This mod does 1st and 3rd, 2nd Is not that severe to be honest, I checked it myself and it doesn't quite reveal your location, It's pretty balanced, because setting maxZoom lower is not nice!

  33. <Download-Installation>
  34. - After downloading, delete the 'Interface' folder of this mod, all of the files within I won't use at all, I have my own mod for that, I just want the sound and no 'Current Location' on map from this mod!
  35.  
  36. - 'BSA Faker' Will probably delete the wav files, so return them to place even if you've already started new game.

  39. <Compatibility-Issues>
  40. - Here's the thing. My purpose from this mod is to hide Where I am on the Map .. But, This can only be done by tweaking the map files, and so this mod is incompatible with all mods that change the map file, since I also want to change the map markers to colored, I had to merge this mod's map file with my own's. TLDR: Place this mod ABOVE 'myColored Map Markers - No Current Location'. In fact, you can remove the 'mapmarkerart.swf' file from this mod, because I've replicated the changes in my mod.
