Description
Unread Books Glow: Black Book By Dragonblood

Head to Dragonsreach and investigate Farengar's Quarters for clues.

Dwemer Dungeon in the works.

New Feature:
Books can be picked up without being marked as read if the book is directly added to the player's inventory. If the book is not taken or the player keeps it open for a couple of seconds, it will be marked as read.

Contains INI Tweaks that make books a little large when reading and open a little faster.

Settings:

The settings are done on a Black Book in Apocrypha.

A sample book will appear above with the selected shader, if that book is enabled.

You can choose to glow: Medium or High

Standard Books Glow Different Kinds of Blue to Light Blue.

Skill Books can be selected individually and glow:
Honeycomb: Apothecary
Red Hot Metal: Blacksmith
Pure White: Priest
Fog and Mist: Thief
Blood Flames: Warrior
Purple Rune Symbol: Wizard

Spell Tomes Have a Glowing Green Rune Symbol.

Track the nearest 128 books in any location.
Books read from containers or the players inventory are marked as read. If the player reads a book from the menu that is glowing in the cell the book will stop glowing.
Unread books dropped by the player will glow and be trackable.
Very fast and stable. No errors in Papyrus.

The settings book will also check and reset the functions if necessary.

A crash or glitch during a cell change could affect the tracking function. If for some reason the books are not glowing when you enter a cell, just go to Apocrypha and reset the book.

Known Conflicts:
This Mod adds some items to Dragonsreach. It also adds a small Dwemer Ruin to an area near Southforge Sacntum. If you are running mods that also edit those areas, they may conflict with UBGBB.

CREDITS:
Duggelz for creating one of the most popular Skyrim SE book mods and giving permissions for it to be used. This was a lot of fun to remaster because Dugglez created a solid foundation to work from and had a great idea.
Bethesda for the Skyrim Creation Kit.
B.A.E. - Bethesda Archive Extractor
The XEdit team.

PERMISSIONS:
This Mod is not a port, it is a compete remaster, and is not to be uploaded to any other platform or site without permission.

Since you are on PC it would be very easy for you to remove that feature. All you need to do is remove the A1Mubgr.ini file in your Skyrim data folder.

hi dragon. just wanted to throw you a little feed back. just recently started on SE. anniversary and all. all my 4k hours are on oldrim. decided to give this a go on SE as it seems to be the only books glow option. however.. and this bums me out to say this. i had to delete the mod before even getting to the ruins. :( the over sized pages were just to much for me to handle. i realize you made them much larger to "fit" the screen and "make them easier to read" but it was over the top imo. i wish there was a way to choose between normal and HELLO IN YOUR FACE. :) but i would imagine there isn't one. thank you for you hard work and helping the community. all the best.

What an absolutely awesome idea. This is going to save me so much time because i always feel the need to open every book in existence. :steamthumbsup:

1. We are building a dungeon where the book will be retrieved from.
2. The Book that turns on and controls the settings is a Black Book. This is for Immersion .
3. This only applies to books "picked up". Not taken from chests. When you pick up a book in a cell it opens automatically. If you immediately take the book it will not be marked as read. Books taken from chests would need to be opened and read to be marked read.
