📋 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%.
