📋 About This Mod

This mod only modifies how text in books, notes and journals look. There is no font or paper texture included.

No More Laser-Printed Book

Ever thought the books and notes in Skyrim look oddly like they come from some digital printing machine? This mod subtly change the way they look by giving them an aged, handwritten style (or analogue press/whatever). HQ paper mods are highly recommended to be used in conjunction with this mod.

This mod is compatible with 99. 998% of book, paper and animal texture mods. Edit: Well, so much for being compatible with 99. 998% mods. This is now not compatible with Font Overhaul - Realistic Typefaces for Skyrim -- FORTS so you have to choose which book.swf you want to use. Obviously this one is better muhahaha. If you wanna use this mod's book.swf just overwrite Font Overhaul - Realistic Typefaces for Skyrim -- FORTS's with this one's.

  • If you use other texture mods for books, install this after them so it overwrites correctly.
  • Check the mod's file section for any optional versions or compatibility patches if you're on Skyrim Special Edition.
