A Quality World Map and Solstheim Map - With Roads

skyrim — Mods & Enhancements

This mod replaces the default blurry, parchment-style world map with a crisp, high-resolution satellite-style map that includes accurate, hand-drawn roads, trails, and geographic features. It also adds a similarly detailed map for Solstheim from the Dragonborn DLC, which the vanilla game leaves untextured and blank. Players install it to make navigation easier and more immersive, as you can actually plan routes along roads and see mountain passes, rather than wandering aimlessly through the wilderness.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Choose the right road variant

In the installer, select 'All Roads' if you want every minor trail visible (great for exploration mods like 'Immersive Encounters'), or 'Main Roads' if you want a cleaner map for fast travel. If you're using 'Way of the Road' mod, choose 'All Roads' to avoid conflicts where the mod's road markers overlap with the map's.

Fix map flickering with ENB

If the map flickers or goes black when using an ENB, open the ENB's enblocal.ini and set 'EnableTextureManager=true' under [ENGINE]. If that doesn't work, disable 'EnableOcclusionCulling' in the same file, as it conflicts with the map's texture LOD.

Install for Solstheim separately

The installer only includes the Solstheim map if you have the Dragonborn DLC. If you're using 'Solstheim - Undiscovered' or 'Dragonborn DLC Overhaul', make sure this mod's ESP is placed AFTER those in your load order, otherwise the Solstheim map may not display correctly.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Conflicts with 'Map Markers - All Icons' or 'Skyrim Map Markers' mods, causing map marker icons to be misplaced or invisible due to texture coordinate changes.

Load 'A Quality World Map' BEFORE any map marker mods in your load order. If using MO2, drag the map marker mod's ESP below this mod's ESP. Alternatively, use the 'Map Markers - Replacer' patch from the mod's Nexus page.

The map becomes blurry or low-res after installing 'Skyrim HD - 2K Textures' because the map texture is overwritten by that mod's low-res version.

In your mod manager, place 'A Quality World Map' AFTER 'Skyrim HD' in the left pane. If using Vortex, set a rule where 'A Quality World Map' loads after 'Skyrim HD' in the 'Mods' tab. You can also manually copy the 'textures/interface/map' folder from this mod into your Data folder.
