📋 About This Mod
This is a modification of Jokerine's The Seaside Library v4c, which adds 4 libraries across Skyrim. The esp has been modified and now requires Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE as a master. All the shared books between the two mods have been consolidated, and will use the HQ covers provided by Legacy. As an added feature, the library that used to be located in the same location as the ruined house just past Whiterun's Western Watchtower has been moved so now it's just across the Watchtower. It should no longer conflict with other mods that use this location, such as Vigilant SE.
Installation:
Make sure you have Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE and USSEP installed. Then you can download and install this mod.
There is a RS Children patch for the 2 children added by this mod.
