📋 About This Mod
Adds the 24 books from Open Books Library as skill books to find randomly in-game, with collision physics and titles.
(December 12/2017) I've wrapped this mod into my latest mod, Narrative Loot! It advances on the goal of this mod, which was to improve the variety of narrative-driven loot available to find in chests, cupboards, etc. Narrative Loot (Complete): https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12812/
NarrativeLoot - Open Books
Open Books is a collaborative project containing 20 peoples' artwork. From translators, to brush artists, to modelers, to me, the physics debugger!
Adds the 24 books from Open Books Library as skill books available to find in-game! I’ve added collision physics, titles, skills, inventory meshes, and added them to vanilla loot lists.
You can even hang 'em on your walls now, using Decorator Helper! That magnificent tool will allow you to freeze physics objects in place!
DROP RATE These books can be found randomly at the following rates:
- []15% - Warlock Chests / Warlock Boss Chests / Vampire Chests / Vampire Boss Chests / Explorers’ Wilderness Chests []8% - Regular Chests, Upper-Class End Table, Cupboard
- 4% - Regular End Table
I’ve separated the books into Common books and Rare books. Rare books include corrupt and sinister-type tomes, and so those are found only in warlock, vampire, and wilderness chests (and not in Belethor’s nightstand).
MERCHANTS You can also purchase the Common books from general item merchants. The chance of a merchant stocking a book ranges from 8% to 41% (Khajiit Caravan). I’ve integrated the books into the vendor lists such that even custom merchants may sell them.
If you want a specific book, reference the name from the images and type into console 'help "<Book name here>"'. Be sure to put the book's full name in quotations. This will give you the ID of that item. Then type 'player.additem <Book ID> 1', which will give you one of that book.
COMPATIBILITY Fully supported by Non-Automatic Skill Books! If you have any other mods that affect the miscellaneous merchant item loot lists, then the loot lists may conflict.
