Description: This mod improves the feeling of exploration by adding new features; read the changelog for updates:

• Press the middle-button of the mouse and see what's around you. If you look to the sun while pressing the button, you'll see which hour it is. Perfect for roleplaying.

• You can now buy or find Skyrim's Maps. If equipped, it will have the same effect as the Clairvoyance spell.

To be able to fast travel, you'll have to have at least one map. You won't be able to open the map menu without it, and each time you open this menu, one map will be removed from your inventory.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqONTWQw3BU to see how it works.


Install: put the BSA and the ESP files in your DATA folder and chick this using your favorite Mod Manager.

Version 2.0
You won\'t lose a map simply by opening the Map menu. It now depends on the weather; if it\'s snowing or raining there\'s a random chance for the map to be unreadable and destroyed.
There\'s a possibility that the player will drop his map if hit by someone, or that\'s destroyed. Yes, paper may get cut by a sword.
Your maps can be damaged by fire spells.
Map\'s cost has been increased from 600 to 750 Septims.
Finding maps should be rarer. You can still buy them or find them on dead bandits and dead Thalmors.
