About this mod

Have you ever walked around Skyrim, found the perfect location for your next home/dungeon/whatever, then spent ages trying to find that location in the CK? Yeah, me too. A simple utility which adds a power that shows you what cell you're in along with worldspace and coordinate information. Obviously targeted at modders and not at players.

 Where in Oblivion AM I modders utility, by Acid Zebra.
Converted and modernized for Skyrim Special Edition
Version 2.0 by Delta 6
                                                                                          

Have you ever walked around Skyrim, found the perfect location for your next home/dungeon/whatever, then spent ages trying to find that location in the CK? Yeah, me too. Or you spot something in game that you need to fix or add to your mod, and you want to know in a hurry what cell it is in?

Version 2.0
Now much more convenient and informative!
Version 2.0 now automatically grants you a lesser power, "[Utility] Location Information", when the game is loaded. No more console commands or having to fumble through your menu to use a book! It also now displays more useful information, including:
  • World space ID
  • World space name (requires SKSE)
  • Cell ID
  • Cell name (requires SKSE)
  • Cell coordinates (same as previous version)
  • Interior: true/false
  • Current player X, Y, Z coordinates

The power will still function if you don't have SKSE and will be automatically added in both new games and when loading an old save. The old utility book is still included and has not been altered, should you desire it for some reason. See below for usage. Note that the book is not automatically added and it does not include as much information as the new power.

(Old) Book usage

Open Console
Type "Help Modder"  (No quotations, not case sensitive either)
This will  return the ref ID of a book called > A modders proposal
use > player.additem [ref ID] 1 to add the book to your inventory. 

NOTE: Avoid dropping the book. You wont be able to pick it up again.

Now every time you read this book you will get a messagebox telling you what cell you're in. Just the numbers, you should now be able to find it quickly in the CK if you sort the cell view window by co-ords. Ridiculously simple, and possibly only useful for simpletons like me who don't like scrolling endlessly around in the render window trying to find that spot.

Probably will give nonsense results when read inside, use in external cells only.
Will work for any external worldspace (Tamriel, Blackreach, Whiterunworld, custom worldspaces).
