📋 About This Mod

As someone who enjoys reading books in-game, I’ve brought back the paper textures that disappeared after Skyrim. Now you can finally enjoy real, physical books again! 

The 4. 0 update reworked everything and manually tuned many features to make books feel more realistic, and it includes seven high-quality book textures.

Each book has its own unique characteristics and different text positioning.
