kythlyn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9960http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8607 I've been enjoying the above mod, Improved Skill Books. I originally downloaded it from Steam Workshop, but since it's on the site now, I uninstalled that version and reinstalled using NMM. But that's when I ran into some issues. I can no longer pick up or read Skill Books that I find in the world. I can move them around, but that's it. I tried reinstalling the mod, but no luck. I even tried uninstalling completely (something I didn't want to do because I really like the mod when it works), but that also did not solve my problem. I also tried some of the other Skill Book mods on the site, but nothing fixes the issue. Edit1: I've noticed that reverting to an earlier save does solve the problem, but I have no idea how far back I would have to go to find a clean save file... hoping for a fix for my current save.Edit2: For some reason, after reinstalling the mod again, I was able to pick up some of the troublesome books... but others are still stuck. Please help if you can. :) Edited February 25, 2012 by kythlyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kythlyn Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Still having this issue. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genoism Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I just started having the same exact issue as you today. I uninstalled the mod, because I wanted the "classic" version- I didn't like the fact that, it just automatically loots the book, which could end up making me steal it in plain sight...apparently that was an oversight on the mod-er's part, since before you loot the book, it still shows [READ] and it doesn't change it to [sTEAL] like normal automatically looted items in the game. After uninstalling it, I can no longer pick up or read any of my skill books. All I can do is move them around. I thought maybe it was the "classic" version, and uninstalled that, but that did zilch for me. I wish I knew what to do about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know much about the inner workings of the game or modding, but this issue eventually resolved itself for me after enough time went by in the game for the area the book was in to reset. Example: There was a skill book sitting on an alter out in the middle of nowhere. It was bugged, but I took some other items off of the alter... after some time went by in game, the items that I took respawned, and once that happened, I was able to pick up the skill book like normal. I still use this mod and haven't had any problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genoism Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 For me, I had placed those skill books on bookshelves in my home. And then, when I uninstalled the newer version (and the older), chaos ensued. Zoning in and out of my home did nothing. Neither did waiting, since the books were placed on my bookshelves....so no respawning books, and bugged out books stuck on my bookcase, and not able to even remove them from there. I ended up having to revert to an older save where I hadn't yet placed the books on the shelves, which really sucked. I'd continue using this mod if I didn't have this problem with it....it's a nice mod (and I would totally want to use the classic version, since it's nice seeing which books are skill books), but apparently has a serious issue that, quite frankly, I really don't want to have to deal with. The mod-er is also surprisingly quiet about this issue....I haven't seen him posting anything in response, in the steam workshop, which he really should do concerning an issue like this. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
