📋 About This Mod
This is QoL type mod adds the ability to save and load settings in MCM for Unread Books Glow using PapirusUtil. Automatically loads saved settings at startup, so you don't have to spend time in MCM again with each new game. NO PLUGIN.
Please use Unread Books Glow SSE with MCM - Settings Loader instead of this one. The new loader uses MCM Helper and adds the ability to remove a configuration spell.
1. Install mod.

2. Enable Unread Books Glow and this mod.
You can try my Custom HUD Presets to see you they fit your taste :D
FAQ
The main mod has been updated, does your mod need an update?
If the MCM menu file has changed, yes.
Main mod updated and MCM changed, when will you update your mod?
As soon as possible, if I forget, just send me a PM.
Is your mod compatible with mod X?
Probably yes, if MCM has not been changed. Most "Settings Loaders" mods just change the MCM. If you are unsure, please ask me.
Will you combine all your mods into one?
No, this will drastically increase my mod management time, make bug fixes, version update, and the comments section a mess. These mods do not take plugin slots. I will create an AIO installer in the future, so installation will be very easy.
MCM doesn't show up.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from reconfiguring MCM every new playthrough—huge QoL win for serial restarters
- No plugin means it won't eat a slot in your load order, which is always nice
- Solid community trust with 343 endorsements and over 12k downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Author explicitly says to use the newer MCM Helper version instead, so this one's basically legacy
- Only works with Unread Books Glow—if you don't use that mod, this is useless
- MCM can fail to show up, requiring console commands or extra mods to fix
For Skyrim players who use Unread Books Glow and hate redoing MCM settings every new game. If you're starting fresh or want a one-time setup, this saves time. Skip it if you don't use that mod or if you're okay with manual config—the newer loader is the better choice.
💡 Beginner Tips

- For existing saves, disable Unread Books Glow, save, then re-enable it with this mod to avoid conflicts
- Consider using the newer 'Unread Books Glow SSE with MCM - Settings Loader' instead, as the author recommends it
