Also tested this mod with "Unread Books Glow" and they both work in tandem. A new skill book for your save file will be glowing when you enter the cell (spawned or dropped books need a cell reload to glow), and picking up the book directly via this mod's effect will have it marked with a leading asterisk in your inventory, as per the conventions of Unread Books Glow.

I have tested this mod on a save file that was already has the Dragonborn DLC perk of "Comprehension" (gives you 2 skill points per skill book instead of 1 by default) and it works. Looking at the item ID value, it doesn't change the internal IDs for the skill books, just renames them. An elegant mod, I recommend it.

Do you get it that then you take chance of this and use that tweak option from Dragonborn DLC (one of Black books gives you option to get Double level from skill books

just check the books value if its over 50 its a skill book

Don't really know a good reason for using this, but it's cool, I like it

is it compatible with unread books glow (when only skill-books glow)?

I'm seeing a bug where the titles are changed, but it still reads the books on pickup.

why the hell would u uninstall this mod... also hopping for a port to SSE

don't download this shit after you uninstall this mod you will can't read any book!!!!!!

I've noticed a weird bug when you activate a Skill Book that is owned (e.g. taking it is stealing). I'm not sure why, but the book is permanently marked as stolen. As in, no amount of selling and buying back will remove it.

A simple yet helpful mod. I love it

doesn't seem to be working for me. Don't have any other book mods installed. Do have other mods (horse armour/speed, minipets,amazingfollowers) its at the end of load order, changing it around has no affect. possible an update somewhere has bugged it? will try old version and see if its any better. (tho was planning to use it for the quick no-reading-book-theiving :p)

How is this mod working now, guys'n'gals?
Fantastic idea, elGrecoLoco

I just did a fresh install and downsized my mods, but this doesn't seem to be working for me either. I do have the item sorting mods by Saige, from the Workshop.

I put this and the quest book mod at the bottom of the load order, right after the official esp's. Then I tried putting them last, after the item sorters. I had no results for either.

I am in the first dungeon where you get the Golden Claw. There is a thief skill book on the table. It is labelled and bracketed (Pickpocket) which makes me think the mod is working- but there is no option to pick it up. I've tried leaving the cell then re-entering and it didn't change. Tried without item sortering mods loaded, and still the same. I don't even use the unread book mod anymore- too much imersion breakage. Could it be the individual book placement within the cell? Thx in advance.

"I'c used this excellent mod for ages now, then all of a sudden it has stopped "working" on - some - books. Not all of the, just some?"
I have the same problem, i have book glow and i have this at the bottom of the list, always worked up till now, though i've noticed that leaving and re-entering the area with the book solves the problem (you should save before picking any book tho)

does it work with "unread books glow"?

Love it, thanks!

i always liked this mod but now when i use it it don't show the (skill) on the name, if the proplem on my end?

I think this MOD has an incompatibility with MoreHUD: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51956/

Simple and effective

You can try just putting it at the bottom of your load order.

I disabled unread books glow and still wind up reading every skill book I pick up. Must be another mod conflict somewhere? Can't for the life of me figure out which one it might be. Is there a config file or settings for this mod somewhere I can check?

Works for me together with glow mod, didn't care about load order: two mods work on different properties.

It should be compatible as long as you load this mod after other book mods.

Essential. But I still wind up reading books. I am using unread books glow and have tried switch the load orders. Any suggestions? I guess I coudl disable that one by now since after 500 hours I've read almost everything... lol I'll let you know if that was the cause.

Great mod, rated up, but next looks like a bug: it seems I can openly steal skill book without getting punished.

really useful! I always try and not read the books so I can use them at a high level, and this makes is so much easier!

is this mod for all books of skyrim and its dlc's or just vanilla skyrim?

Best mod!

Almost certainly, this mod doesn't affect books in your inventory at all (other than the item name), it merely intercepts books you activate in the world before you read them and moves them to your inventory instead. You may also have another book mod that is causing a problem.

I recently downloaded this and I'm getting worried that it isn't actually letting me get the skill. Since I downloaded it, I've found 3 skill books and none of them have been added (even after reading them in my inventory). This is the only mod I have installed, so it can't be a conflict. Did I just have bad luck and find three books I've already read?

Ahh, sounds useful. *nod nod* I'll just go click that somewhat big green button here...

"DvB14 2 jan @ 5:09am
This is really nice, but it makes me pick up the books and put them in my inventory before i can read them. Just a small problem, but i'm nit-picking. Great mod, and keep it up."

This is not a problem, it's GREAT! Stops you from gaining skills/levels in skills you don't want to use.

I hate finding the same skill book all around Skyrim and not getting level-ups from it.

Great mod! DvB14, I was having that same problem, but just realized there's a link in the description for a version of this mod that doesn't have you pick up the book automatically.

This is really nice, but it makes me pick up the books and put them in my inventory before i can read them. Just a small problem, but i'm nit-picking. Great mod, and keep it up.

Thank talos or something like that for this beautiful addition so good

where do you find the books

It doesnt conflict per se with other book mods, as in it won't cause crashes and such, but whichever mod loads last gets precedence, i.e. the changes this mod makes will get wiped out by the other book mod if the other book mod loads after. So basically only use one or the other.

does this confilct at all with the unread books glow mod?

Finally, no more getting Block or some other shit i dont want, thank you so much :)

Nice for rerolls :)

a definite bonus to the books of the game. A job well done

UPDATE PLEASE!

I love this mod but it only works for some of the skills books. Is there a certain place in the load order that I should have it to keep this from happening? The only other mod I have that deals with the books is "Tamriel Compendium" and it doesn't touch the books already in the game. It just adds new ones.

mbdddddddddddddddddd, where is it

Where should I order this mod in relation to the glowing unread books mod?

Very useful. Keeps me from missing skill books in my inventory
