OVERVIEW
This mod adds a books store in Solitude. You can buy clutter books to grow your home library.
DESCRIPTION
qgfyJpiKimQ T4L6r9pdBEQ
A thing which I'm missing since Oblivion is a book store, so I've added it in Skyrim.
The books store is named as "Books of Skyrim" and you can find it in Solitude near the brick arch.
The vendor is Arnora Auria, descendant of Auria family in Cyrodiil. She have the same name as her ancestor murdered 200 years ago by Tyrellius Logellus, a corrupted guard of Bruma.
She also have a daughter Leonia which plays with other children in Solitude.
Together have their life: sleeping, working, playing, relaxing, etc.
INSTALLATION
As usual, use NMM or manually unpack the archive into DATA folder and then enable it. This mod adds a new leveled item list which interacts with vanilla ones. A Bash patch should be necessary.
UNINSTALLATION
Should be fine and without any kind of issue. Maybe you can try to uninstall my mod when you are in a vanilla interior.
COMPATIBILITY
This mod is cleaned up by using SSEEDit.
This mod is compatible with vanilla gameplay, including the Siege of Solitude quest, during the Civil War questline.
This mod is incompatible with other mods that adds stuff in the same location.
This mod is incompatible with Open Cities (DO NOT ASK FOR COMPATIBILITIES. ANY COMMENT RELATED TO THIS WILL BE INSTANTLY DELETED).

Please, report to me if you find any bug. Thank you.
