This simple mod lifts the restrictions of amount of books and notes that can be placed on a bookshelf. You can now place up to 48 books and notes, depending on books size, i.e. you will be able to completly fill the shelf.

 

I've been using this for ages, no issues, simple script, works like a charm.

 

No brainer, really.

Is this not already covered by USKP? I can remember talking about this limitation here already, but cannot recall whether it has been fixed already or not.

[rootsrat]

I don't know to be honest.

[WilliamImm]

It's not mentioned in this thread, so I assume it's not included in the USKP.

This sounds similar to Unlimited Bookshelves.

[rootsrat]

Unlimited Bookshelves is full of errors. DO NOT USE IT, seriously. This is a safe replacement.

With this mod, books will still need calculated object bounds, it is easy to do (a lot easier than I remember being described in Unlimited Bookshelves) but it is tedious.

 

I wanted to write a Skyproc patcher that read in all book records and updated the object bounds based on a list of pre-calculated values.

However, I have zero java experience so I didn't make it very far :P

cant you just use the form getwidth function?

[Wormheart]

I believe the bounds is where getwidth gets the width from, which is why they are needed :)

 

Edit info from the CK wiki:

Calculates and returns the width of this reference (distance between the bounding box min and max x values).

[rootsrat]

Bump.

 

Can we include this one for testing? (I'm using it for a long time with no issues anyway).

 

It's somewhat of a fix for vanilla IMHO, as limiting the number of books you can place on a bookshelf is just plain silly and not realistic at all. Unless there is a strong magical field on every single bookshelf ;)

If you do use this, you will need to add Dragonborn Book Bounds Fix for all the Dragonborn books, journals and notes. There is a mod that does this for us... https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/39671

 

If you use Book Covers Skyrim then you do not need the Dragonborn Book Bounds Fix as I have already added relevant OBND values.

I have DB, but haven't played it yet, so thanks for the heads up! I do use your mod indeed, so guess I'm safe in that respect.

 

Cheers.

I use both and I have not had any issues. I'm a big book collector and I like to see the shelves completely filled up.

Just to recap...

 

If you use Bookshelves Script SKSE and have Dragonborn, you need EITHER Dragonborn Book Bounds Fix OR Book Covers Skyrim.

Thank you for that.  I was wondering whether I need both!
