kythlyn Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi everyone. I'm using the mod below... Improved Skill Books: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9960 ...and I've come across a couple of issues. The main one that I would really appreciate some help with is that there are certain skill books in the world that I can no longer read or pick up. I am able to move the object by holding E (A on the Xbox controller), but clicking once does nothing. It just beeps at me. This problem is only affecting my most recent save files. I believe the problem started occurring after I had to reinstall the mod. I would like to continue using my most recent saves, so please reply if you have any idea how to fix the issue with those save files or the mod as a whole. The other (possibly related issue) with this mod is that somehow skill books placed on bookshelves can be duplicated... I think it happens when you try to manually pick up a book without using the bookshelf interface, but I am not certain. I have tried some of the other similar mods for renaming skill books and picking up skill books without reading them, so there is a possibility a conflict occurred somewhere along the way that screwed up my save files... but I'm pretty sure it started the first time I reinstalled this mod. (I apologize for the duplicate thread if you saw my post on the technical support forum or on the mod's topic.) 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...
kythlyn Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 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. As for the bookshelves, I think that bug is still a problem, but I just avoid reading, moving or picking books up off the shelf without using the bookshelf interface. As long as you stick to that interface, you shouldn't have a problem with duplicating books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
