🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a texture replacement, place the files in your Oblivion Data folder, typically under Textures\menus\map\shivering isles.
If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, you can install it as a package to easily toggle between the two versions.
Check if you have other map mods installed — they might conflict, so load order matters if you use multiple texture overhauls.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 1,454 endorsements and over 115k downloads — clearly a go-to for map improvements.
- Two versions let you pick between a clean look or one that helps distinguish the two realms.
- Simple texture replacement — no scripts or complex dependencies, just drop-in and go.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mod setups without tweaks.
- No installation instructions provided by the author, so you'll need to know how to manually place textures.
- Only affects the world map — if you wanted colored local maps or UI changes, this won't cover those.
