📋 About This Mod
Somewhere in the early patches after release, the player had the opportunity to destroy books and papers like other items. Later this feature was removed, but not completely. I thought it would be a good idea to bring this back for the sake of roleplaying. After all, not all documents need to be known to the world, right?
Books can only be destroyed if they are not quest books. In some cases, the quest mark remains forever, even if the book is not in the quest inventory, such books cannot be destroyed. This mod was made for personal use back in the GOTY version.
A compact utility mod that lets blacksmiths dismantle books into raw materials, restoring a feature for crafting and recycling. With 38 endorsements and 32,791 downloads, it's a niche but popular tool for players who want to repurpose excess books. Last updated in May 2024.
