📋 About This Mod
This is ESL flagged version of Fullscreen Book and Item Zoom by mm137. It doesn't count towards 255 plugin limit.
Description from original page:
Simply allows books and notes to use all screen space while being read, and zoomed in items to do the same. Speeds up the book animations as well.
This allows you to really get a look at those fancy HD texture mods!
Compatible with literally everything.
This is just a blank .esp to let Skyrim see the included ini file. If you want to edit your own Skyrim.ini and not add a plugin, just add
fBookDistance=75. 0000
fNoteDistance=70. 0000
fBookOpenTime=500. 0000
fInventory3DItemZoomY=-300
Tweak Guide:
Just open the .ini to tweak. Smaller numbers = greater zoom.
Vanilla settings:
Book default is 110
Book Open Time is 1000
Inventory zoom (Y) is -500
It's not advisable to adjust zoom speed to any faster (lower number) than
500 because it can mess up some of the animations.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 507 endorsements and nearly 90k downloads.
- Makes reading books and inspecting items way more immersive—no more tiny text in a bordered window.
- ESL flag means you can add it without worrying about your load order limit.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects books, notes, and item zoom—no other UI changes.
- Speeding up animations might feel jarring if you're used to the original pacing.
- Potential conflicts with other UI mods that alter book or inventory interfaces.
For Skyrim players who read every lore book and hate the cramped reading window. Also great for looters who want a closer look at items. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla UI or prefer a full UI overhaul like SkyUI.
