Library Assets 0.85

Adds several bookshelves and other library themed objects.

  1. Zaroth
    Hey, thanks for giving this a look.
    This mod is primarily focused on adding library themed objects to the game, each with full racial descriptions. These can be bought from a scriveners desk, which can be made at an Architects Table.

    -

    The first, and most important feature is the new items themselves, listed here with names, descriptions and tenant tags.

    ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SAVES!
    I've found that, due to the changes rendered to them, Hylotl bookcases that already exist in the game world disappear the first time the mod is loaded, and may even leave behind invisible, indestructible "blocks" to permanently occupy spaces.
    Specifically, this only occurs to the undamaged versions of the "ornate" bookcases. The damaged versions, and the "traditional" variant often found in villages are not affected. Nor are ones found inside mission worlds.
    Those inside inventories are not deleted, only those currently placed when the mod is first loaded. If you're loading an existing save, please ensure you've removed these before you begin, you may put them back down once the mod is active.
