SHADOWMARKS OF SKYRIM
DESCRIPTION
This is my own concept of getting details of shadowmarks scattered in Skyrim world without using the book Shadowmarks. An existing mod similar to this is Readable Shadowmarks
The difference is that you don't need to "activate" the Shadowmarks to read the details. You have just to get close to any Shadowmark and details appear. However if you have a copy of Shadowmarks book in your inventory and press Activate button, it will open it for you.
The Shadowmarks details will be available once you have read the book. If you have already read it, read again after installing this mod. Use command console if you want to spawn a copy of the book in your inventory if you're lazy to find it.
FUTURE PLANS
Making more specific details for almost all the shadowmarks.
INSTALL / UNINSTALL
Safe to install during midplaying. Also safe to uninstall whenever you want.
BUGS
Please, report any bug, misplaced elements, etc. Thank you.

⚠️ Cons
