Elder Scrolls V Map Hack: Skyrim Street View
November 17th, 2011
It’s barely been a week since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released, but the benefits of owning it on the PC are already becoming apparent. Some Xbox 360 players are ridden with texture issues, some PS3 players are wracked with the more game breaking save file glitch. Meanwhile PC users are starting to get mods and hacks like this one, which lets players zoom all the way in on the in-game map.
I don’t plan on getting Skyrim before the PS3 bug is worked out, but thanks to videos online like this one I do know that the world map in the game is a 3D version of the game’s world, making it easier to correlate your position when viewing the map. But a handy tip posted at the Skyrim Nexus by a Dovahkiin named Mikanoshi makes the map even more useful. By tweaking the Skyrim.ini file, you’ll be able to zoom in all the way while viewing the map:
Enter noclip mode and fly to Skyrim Nexus, where the instructions are located. Again this is only for the PC version only, but since it’s just a tweak I hope Bethesda can add it to the console versions too in a future patch.

I am beyond jealous that my current desk top wasn’t built to run games, and instead music recording programs and the likes of. This mod is awesome! Sadly I’m stuck playing Skyrim on my wife’s 360. Might be time to get a new desk top, as this one is around six or seven years old anyway. Thing is, I keep it running like new, so it’s hard to justify the expenditure.
I bought skyrim for x-box on pre-order. Still have not recieved in the mail and wanted to try it out on my pc. DO NOT want to buy it so downloaded torrent. Anyone know of a product key i can use? thanks
Have it on PS3 since Nov 11th, no problem with save files
I always create a new save anyway, old habit. I must admit tho, I do find that map tweak quite yummy 
but I don’t wanna start over just yet. If only i could import my PS3 save to PC i’d buy the PC version too.
