📋 About This Mod
This mod adds 111 books to find across the commonwealth in places kind of suited to the titles.
Each has a title and author in the style of Get Rich Quick by Robin Banks. These are not readable books.
For collectible hunters, decorators and lovers of a bad (British) pun.
To display your finds, or just for decoration, craft a Usable Bookcase in workshop mode. Look under shelves in the furniture menu.
The object type is 'container' and you put the books in as if it were a container; they are then moved automatically into position to make a neat display.
You can put overdue books here to pad out the display and remove books one at a time by activating them.
The shelves can be used as a furniture item and will take objects placed by hand rather than added to the container, but be aware that books added later may occupy the same position.
VERSION 2. 1
Added new furniture item under Furniture\Shelves
Single & double bookshelves
Usable curio - holds all 111 books
Nuka bookends - for your Nuka Recipe Books
Giddy bookends
Usable bookends
I'd prefer the bookends to sit on tables etc, but can only manage this using Place anywhere. For the moment they may be wall-mounted in Workshop mode.
I'm working my way through Kinggath's Bethesda Mod School and this is the first mod I thought people might want to download.
The bookcase uses scripts from Workshop Framework so you need this to get the display. I recommend anyone new to modding to view Kinggaths work.
If you want to use the bookcase display yourself in a mod, feel free; you have my permission. Adding the keyword BBCKeyword to an object will allow it to be placed in the container. Objects the right size will fit nicely, others will need work to avoid clipping.
Also check out Zorkaz's Library mod for a set of useful shelves compatible with this and my mod.
The locations of the books are given in the Read-Me file for those who don't like the searching bit.
**Some of the 'jokes' are a bit obscure - add a comment if something needs an explanation; often it's a matter of British accent, lol
