@rat this method is easier for people who dont know how to do that

Bro missed the point entirely lol

For mp, definetly. In SP however fast forward changes nothing. The purpose was to spend less of your characters day on reading, not just speed reading for you.
rat 2 Aug, 2023 @ 11:18am 
Solutions that make this mod redundant:

SP:
Options -> Accessibility -> Enable "Resume normal speed when timed actions complete" -> Fast forward while reading

MP:
Manage Settings... -> Edit Selected Settings -> Other -> Adjust "MinutesPerPage" (default is 1, therefore 2x = 0.5; 4x = 0.25; 8x = 0.125) -> Hit "Save"

@nue
Thank you, I got it.

@KoutaVyttal
Activate only the one you want. If you already have a game going, you can adjust your active mods on the load screen. ie: Turn 4x on and deactivate 8x.
Kouta 15 Nov, 2022 @ 5:28pm 
How do you adjust it to 4x instead of 8x?
WobbyChip 31 Oct, 2022 @ 2:38pm 
16x ?

Is this mod fine for current update and MP?

Love the art, love the utility. The balance of reading was nice before but enough saves later and sometimes I want my reward for scrounging libraries a little faster. x4 user here

The art caught my eye, i stayed for the mod. Good work.

Works great in multiplayer. 4x was the best for me and my buddy

life is hardly short
at least not if you're doing it right and are aware of your surroundings:DLskull:
try sitting still to see how long it really is

@star It did help, thank you.
star 27 Jan, 2021 @ 8:51pm 
Thank you.
I added some comments (see the same url). I hope it will help you to understand better what's going on there. :)
nue  [author] 27 Jan, 2021 @ 7:55pm 
@star I tried something like that many times, eventually I managed to do it. But since I don't quite understand why it works yet I left as this one. Since you know your stuff, I'll take your word and update it.
star 27 Jan, 2021 @ 4:31pm 
Replacing functions is better that replacing files, but it's still not good.
Please consider using this code [pastebin.com] instead of yours.
nue  [author] 3 Jan, 2021 @ 7:49am 
I took a look at it, it does change this same function. No reading speed mod will work without a patch. I made new compatible mod with ESS. I'll upload in a bit.
AbacateVito 2 Jan, 2021 @ 11:14pm 
Found out that "Extra Skills System" is overriding the whole book reading system, so it blocks this mod functionality
AbacateVito 2 Jan, 2021 @ 10:15pm 
It didn't. May I ask, does it take into account perks like fast reader/slow reader as well?
nue  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 7:40pm 
Made a small change to try and enforce priority over mods using main file. Let me know if it helps.
AbacateVito 2 Jan, 2021 @ 5:54pm 
I have an extensive mod list, so its maybe conflicting with something else, because it doesn't work... The books are being read at the same speed :/

I'll try to find out why
nue  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 4:14pm 
Except other mods that do the same thing, none that i'm aware.
Beyond reading speed, this function has skill multiplier from when you finish books and some behaviour while reading, force stop, calories and if hand wounds will have an influence (they don't). If a mod doesn't try to change those it will be fine.
AbacateVito 2 Jan, 2021 @ 3:32pm 
Will this be uncompatible with any other mods that you know of?
nue  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 3:09pm 
No, just activate in-game the speed you want. Tested it again to make sure, it's working fine.
AbacateVito 2 Jan, 2021 @ 3:00pm 
I need to use this with some other mod?
