📋 About This Mod
This file can also used for base requiem but is recommended to use with Lorerim, if you don't play Lorerim you'll simply just need to go in to xedit and rename the Craftsmans manual book to "The Armorer's Encyclopedia" for consistency
In Lorerim, the requiem book "The Craftsman's Manual" has been renamed to "The Armorer's Encyclopedia", I created this retexture to express that change visually
In game the book unlocks a large portion of the Armor and Weapon bestiary entries in order to show the custom bonuses biggie added, more info here Unlocking armor entries

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (208k+) shows tons of people grabbed this
- Simple and clean retexture, does exactly what it says
- Recently updated (Feb 2025), so it's still maintained
⚠️ Cons
- Only 81 endorsements compared to downloads, so not everyone bothered to endorse
- Purely cosmetic, so if you wanted new mechanics or items, this isn't it
- Could conflict with other mods that alter the same book texture

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2.
- Make sure to load it after any mods that change the same book's mesh or texture to avoid conflicts.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, ensure the mod is compatible with your version (check the mod page for any notes).
