Unread Books Glow
Books which you have not read yet will have a visible glow. When you
read a book for the first time, its glow will disappear. All copies
of the same title are considered the same book, so once you’ve read
one “Cats of Skyrim”, you’ve read them all.
Unread Books Glow by duggelz
Books which you have not read yet will have a visible glow. When you
read a book for the first time, its glow will disappear. All copies
of the same title are considered the same book, so once you’ve read
one “Cats of Skyrim”, you’ve read them all.
== Features ==
* Unread books glow and have an “*” before their name
* Uses SKSE and SkyUI if installed, but doesn’t require them
* Recognizes all books your character has previously read (SKSE)
* Tracks books from any mod or DLC
* Spell tomes are green, skill books are red, quest books and regular
books are various shades of blue
* Settings configured in-game via SkyUI or spell
== Install ==
Nexus Mod Manager: Click the “Download with Manager” button. Once
it’s downloaded, in the Nexus Mod Manager, click on the “Mods” tab,
and double-click on “Unread Books Glow” to activate it.
If you have SKSE version 1.6.8 or better installed, several features
of this mod will work better. If you have SkyUI version 3.1 or better
installed, you can use the Mod Configuration Menu to access this mod’s
options. Both are highly recommended.
== Upgrade ==
If you’re upgrading from a previous version, you might see odd
behavior until you enter a new location.
== Uninstall ==
Move your character to an interior location that has no unread books.
Save your game and exit Skyrim.
Nexus Mod Manager: Click on the “Mods” tab, double-click on “Unread
Books Glow” to deactivate it, then click “Delete”.
== Limitations ==
* If you don’t have SKSE version 1.6.8 or above, books you’ve read
before installing this mod are not recorded. You will have to read
them again.
* Only the nearest 100 books are affected in any location.
* Books in containers and merchant inventories are usually not
recognized as unread.
* Quest books added by DLC and other mods are treated as “plain” books.
Spell tomes and skill books should work fine.
== Configuration ==
If you have SkyUI installed, press “Escape”, click on “Mod
Configuration”, and then “Unread Books Glow”. You will see a page
with various options.
If you do not have SkyUI installed, open the in-game “Magic” menu,
select “Powers”, and select “{Unread Books Glow Settings}”. Then exit
the menu. Your character will appear to have a spell readied. Cast
the spell as normal (usually just clicking the left mouse button) and
a settings menu will appear. It has less options than the SkyUI menu.
== Compatibility ==
This mod should automatically handle books added by DLC and other
mods. However, there might be conflicts with other mods that change
the behavior of books in general. If you find something noteworthy
that does or doesn’t work, let me know and I will add it here.
