📋 About This Mod
This is a small and simple mod.
You will be able to read a Pre-War Book and receive XP. It's very similar to Readable Pre-War Books but it's going deeper and it's DLC-friendly (the Book Chute of Old World Blues and the Blank Magazine of Lonesome Road.)
Read a Book, receive XP and an "already read" version of it. If you want to extend the "used version" part of the mod, check for Used Books And Magazines mod.
Old World Blues changes: the Book Chute doesn't accept unread books.
Lonesome Road changes: the recipe with blank magazine gives you an already read book, to avoid too easy and free XP.
That's all !
More Useful Books turns every book in Skyrim into a consumable XP source. Read a book, gain experience, and get an 'already read' version to keep. A simple quality-of-life tweak for players who want reading to matter.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, clean concept that makes exploration more rewarding.
- 145 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads show it's got a solid following.
- No complex dependencies or patches needed—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
- The 'already read' version might clutter your inventory if you hoard books.
For Skyrim players who love looting every book but hate that they're just decoration. If you're a completionist who wants reading to actually progress your character, this is a must-have. Skip it if you're looking for lore-friendly immersion—this is pure gameplay convenience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that change book names or descriptions to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement—manual install is just dropping the ESP into your Data folder.
- Test with a single book first to see how the XP gain feels—you might want to pair it with a leveling overhaul for balance.
