With over 200 locations to explore, including caves, fortresses, and Ayleid ruins, it’s easy to lose track of where you are in Oblivion Remastered. But a small mod prevents that from happening.
Anyone traveling the roads of Cyrodiil in Oblivion Remastered will stumble across fortresses, caves, or bandit camps every few meters. In total, there are over 200 locations waiting to be discovered and explored.
The longer we play, the easier it is to lose track of where we’ve already been. This is because there is no indication on the map as to whether we have already explored a location extensively. However, a mod now provides exactly this feature.
Dungeons to check off
The mod developed by rebeccathedragonborn called Map Icon Completion Markers is basically very simple. Once we’ve installed it, we just open the world map and hold down Shift while hovering the mouse pointer over the icon of a location we’ve already explored.
The corresponding icon then becomes transparent, making it stand out clearly from other locations. Once we have finished exploring a location, we can mark it and don’t have to check whether we have already been there or just activated the fast travel point.
We have already installed the mod ourselves and tested it briefly: At least for us, it works without any problems, but other players have reported isolated issues such as crashes. If you experience crashes after installation, you can fix this by installing an earlier version (1.03) or simply removing the mod.
How to install the mod
If you want to try the mod yourself, we’ll briefly explain everything you need to know. The easiest way to install it is to first download a mod manager such as Vortex The program moves all files to the desired location and allows you to enable and disable the mod as you wish.
