Named Literature

Description
More flavor text and functionality for literature items found in game.

[ko-fi.com][discord.gg]

This mod does not use item scripts. Everything is lua based.
What this means is that loot-tables are not overwhelmed or flooded with books.
Applied to: Books, Magazines, HottieZs, TVMagazines, Comic-Books, Newspapers, Wordsearches, Crosswords.

  • Titles are applied randomly to books from a list of over 3000+ titles.
  • The 3000+ titles are sorted by year/decade/century written, with a preference for modern (1993); include every century up to the 4th.
  • Book descriptions and tooltips will also include author and publication date for extra flavor (text).
  • Magazines utilize a similar system but just of magazine titles from a list of 60+ titles.

  • Additional Features:
    • Literature items can be re-read for a diminished stress/boredom/unhappiness relief. (If given enough time you can re-read for full amount.)
    • Literature items are color coded (based on a seeded process), colors should always be consistent. (Coloring 3D models not yet working/may not be possible.)

Yes

Is this safe to add to an existing save?

It looks like the re-read timer does not work. Its set to 26280 10min marks, wich is half a year (182,5 days), but when i tested this in debug mode it didnt reset the values to full amount. With Sandbox editing, setting the timer to 1 does not work as well. Known problem? Or am i missing something?

The books don't actually flood the loot tables, so I'm not sure it would help there.

This is sick! more books and it kinda helps fix the problem with having 200 map mods now that there are 200 book stores. Finding skill books was never easier lol

Thanks for the quick response.
I have no idea which mod can be doing this.
Though it appears to not necessarily be game-breaking with my General Anxiety settings: forcing MC to tackle the Stress or suffer until reaching a state of resignation through a book.

Same answer as with Aang741, I haven't experienced such an issue. My guess would be there's a mod compatibility issue involved.

Stress drops to 0 when reading a book.
Thanks to Aang741 for clarifying the same problem I was having.

When I have more time I'll look into incorporation. Haven't checked how they handled their book titles.

For example mine can be reread and forgotten.
