📋 About This Mod
Description
This is the stand alone version of Pekkas COBL Book Jackets. Why am I Pellape here? I cannot access my original account as I lost my password. NM, I am a happy fart anyway. I started to make books in Morrowind 2005 (And paintings) and used the same style since then. It might be so you can find my old books at Morrowind Archive but most books are lost for Oblivion, only 1 remains, in the dungeon mod I made 2006. I need to upload that resource to the MW site, it is in the wrong game section. A document is also included that explains how YOU will be able to make your own paintings and books. Meshes is included for each game. Here is the Oblivion Resource you will use for this specific game.
Top main screenshot is mostly from an old Book jackets. Link below. What you see is my shelves made with Blender, some paintings and a dangerous door. ;) What is behind the door Pekka? IDK... I do not tell you. I guess it leads to a near by cave... I am to afraid to peek in it honestly. Stupid architect.
Requirement
COBL obviously but it has some minor bugs. I have informed the author and also Wrye. All bugs, I know of, will be fixed in my big upload later, with a new COBL Main.esm. The original will work perfect with the books no matter what. Its just tiny errors, a missing texture, 3 races that needed some love too. COBL has so many fun items and I tried to use loads of them in my main mod. Some collisions at some objects, like Sals Oven is also fixed as it rejects stuff to add on top of it, like a canon - No more. Read more below:
Stand Alone?
Yes, as this packet is made for the biggest library in the world, see one wall at the top screenshot. No one can make a bigger library, as the goal is that every TES book will be included. It has 100 books so far or so and a special room with unique dungeon books that will port you to each dungeon entrance. 550 shelf spots added in game. It is a WIP but will be released as a beta in 2 weeks or so, I need to edit some stuff first. Backside with a mod that has been developed during 2 years is the size. Here is the WIP with loads of Screenshots, from 2020 to 2022. It also includes walls of text. I love to read and I also love to write, a lot of rubbish. Do not say I did not warn you. It is huge and will be 400Mb. It is up to you to play it. These Book jackets do take less space so if you only want them, this is the mod for you. I have not added new book covers since last year as I been busy with my WIP but I make more when time comes for it. One step in a time.... The big mod has the files at the exact same place. No need to reinstall or anything.
Stealing books
Why do i also include the books in my big mod? Companions and staff and a faction is using my library. Someone is stealing loose objects, most likely some companions with low responsib

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 138 endorsements and over 3,300 downloads.
- Stand-alone design means no dependency on the original COBL mod.
- Adds visual variety to books without changing gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers 102 books, so many in-game books remain with default textures.
- Last updated in May 2022, so may not be compatible with the latest Oblivion patches or mods.
- Author notes the mod is incomplete, which might disappoint players expecting full coverage.
For Oblivion players who want to refresh the look of their books without overhauling the entire game. If you're a completionist who wants every book covered, this mod will leave you wanting more. Skip if you prefer gameplay changes over cosmetic tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture replacer, make sure to place the files in your Oblivion Data folder or use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash.
- If you use other book texture mods, load order matters—put this one after to ensure its textures take precedence.
- Check the mod's included readme for any specific installation notes, as the description is sparse.
