📋 About This Mod

Self Filling Bookshelves Skyrim Standard Edition version HERE

This mod adds a small menu system to any bookshelves using the standard (vanilla) bookshelf containers and any mods that use the standard bookshelf containers allowing you to select which type of book you wish placed on the current bookshelf. To access the menu crouch first, then activate any bookshelf, you can then choose between various categories to immediately fill the shelf with the chosen type. Once a choice is made any books already in the shelf will be removed and placed in your inventory and the shelf will be filled from scratch from the books available in your inventory.

Menu Options:

Standard Books - (Regular, everyday books) ........|-Small ........|-Large ........|....|-Green Only ........|....|-Brown Only ........|....|-Mixed ........| ........|-Mixed ...............|-Large First ...............|-Alphabetical

Spell Tomes - (The books you learn new spells from) ........|-Alphabetical ........|-Colour Coded

Skill Books - (The books that increase your stats such as Block, Destruction Magic etc.) ........|-Large Only ........|-Small Only ........|-Mixed ..............|-Large First ..............|-Alphabetical

With as little as two clicks of your mouse (or XBox controller) you can have a shelf filled with nothing but spell tomes, arranged by colour code or skill books arranged alphabetically! No need to go trawling through the hundreds of books in your inventory looking for the few you want to display!

Only one of each book will be placed on the shelf unless there is still space once the list has been run through, at which point the process will repeat untill the shelf is full or you have no books of the chosen type left in your inventory!

Once a choice is made you will be notified: "Moving Books, Please Wait...", it is HIGHLY recommended that you do NOT exit the bookshelf untill you receive the "Done! Exit To Update Bookshelf!" message as messing with your inventory or leaving the cell before the transfer is complete may have strange or unwanted consequences! The transfer usually only takes 4-5 seconds.

I have not included any journals or uniquely named books as these tend to be mission objects which cannot be removed from your inventory, attempting to remove mission books would cause the script to break! Nor have I included any notes as these look kinda stoopid on bookshelves!-)

It is most likely that some books may have been missed or may be out of alphabetical order (the ID's for books in the Creation Kit do not necessarily conform to the name of the book in-game and there are a LOT!!), if you do see something that isn't as it should be, please contact me and I'
