📋 About This Mod

Interactive real-time book reading system for SkyrimVR

Overview

A complete real-time reading system for books and notes. It does not replace original UI reading, so you still can read books through menu.

In addition, I think that some world book models looks too huge in VR, so the size have been adjusted: BookTall size reduced by 20%.


Key Features

    []Skill books grant skill increases on first read.[/]

    []Quest-related books will update quests.[/]

    []Use buttons or physical gestures for interactions.[/]

    []Drop the book from inventory to enter reading mode immediately.[/]
