The books don't actually flood the loot tables, so I'm not sure it would help there.

This is sick! more books and it kinda helps fix the problem with having 200 map mods now that there are 200 book stores. Finding skill books was never easier lol

Thanks for the quick response.
I have no idea which mod can be doing this.
Though it appears to not necessarily be game-breaking with my General Anxiety settings: forcing MC to tackle the Stress or suffer until reaching a state of resignation through a book.

Same answer as with Aang741, I haven't experienced such an issue. My guess would be there's a mod compatibility issue involved.
Cushy 13 Mar @ 10:23pm 
Stress drops to 0 when reading a book.
Thanks to Aang741 for clarifying the same problem I was having.

When I have more time I'll look into incorporation. Haven't checked how they handled their book titles.

For example mine can be reread and forgotten.

@tilarium but this mod has way more variety

@Dudah Have you not played B42 yet? If you had, you'd know that there is books and magazines and even newspapers are already named. This mod has basically been incorporated into B42 and isn't needed.
Dudah 31 Dec, 2024 @ 4:47am 
B42?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 1 Dec, 2024 @ 3:02pm 
Those particular items don't have unique titles, but do have all the other features. Rereadability with diminished returns, etc.
BAPBHΛΩ 29 Nov, 2024 @ 4:14pm 
The description says newspapers, crosswords, wordsearches, and TV guides are included, but does not appear so :-o

I love the mod but can you make it so it takes longer to read the books
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 8 Sep, 2024 @ 10:22am 
Yes, recipes that require magazines/books/etc will work.
aquelarrefox 8 Sep, 2024 @ 9:52am 
Magazine and books item id of the same than vanilla if a recipe needs the vanilla item, yours magazines will be used as ingredient in a recipe requesting for a vanilla magazine?
Mickmane 8 Sep, 2024 @ 1:04am 
Super cool mod! It's so nice to see a book in the game that I've read in real life. Even if I didn't like it! :)
Psychic Ash 24 Aug, 2024 @ 11:20am 
small typo - X-Factor 1992 is spelled X-Facotr (love the mod btw)
aquelarrefox 22 Aug, 2024 @ 9:39am 
is posible to add support for "Manga is literature" mod to re-read the items?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 17 Aug, 2024 @ 11:01pm 
It would most likely randomize the books.
Jaxx - pshoooo 17 Aug, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
does this play nice at all with Easy Packing's ability to put books together and unpack them again to get the same books? or would it just randomize books every time?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 4 Aug, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
Probably doesn't. This mod changes the vanilla item. If that mod is adding other items they're unaffected.
aquelarrefox 4 Aug, 2024 @ 6:49pm 
hi, how affect this mod "Hephas Comics" mod? they get re-redeables?

POLAND?! A classic
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 8 Jun, 2024 @ 4:53am 
I haven't seen such an issue, I would need more information.
Aang741 7 Jun, 2024 @ 5:40pm 
Hi I love your mod but i don't know why I have a bug when I read a book if my character is 100 with stress and a book or newspaper deletes 15 for example, when I read the book all stress disappear when only 40 supposed to disappear
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 21 May, 2024 @ 3:47am 
Thanks!
Maschinenmensch 21 May, 2024 @ 2:10am 
Absolutely loving the mod. Great work!
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 23 Mar, 2024 @ 4:13am 
Thanks for the kind words! I used goode reads top 100 lists, so I'm not even sure what's it there.
Chasing the Moon 22 Mar, 2024 @ 10:44pm 
This is my favorite mod, I find it hard to play PZ without it.

I don't know if you still add books to the list, but I'd love to see some Christopher Pike books added into the mix. Those were top tier early 90's reads. :)
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 22 Mar, 2024 @ 7:20am 
It might be possible, but I'm currently working on other stuff.
aquelarrefox 22 Mar, 2024 @ 7:17am 
is posible a patch to make A_Books Break Mod works with this books which are the base book altered, i see the code of the mod ad apply to skillbook with numer of pages. Yours should work making that change to the base book?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 16 Mar, 2024 @ 10:03pm 
Thank you for the heads up.
HybridJoe 15 Mar, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
Just an update, it's not compatible with Better Literacy mod, idk why.
HybridJoe 15 Mar, 2024 @ 9:36am 
Thanks @Chuckleberry Finn! Ill test it, and comment here later!
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 9:31am 
Should be, this just adds flavor text to books. I haven't tested myself.
HybridJoe 15 Mar, 2024 @ 8:23am 
Hey @Chuckleberry, nice work! But i have a question about compatibility, it is compatible with Literacy mod?
toomanynights 24 Jan, 2024 @ 3:37am 
@Chuckleberry Finn I just checked, yes, it's actually not vanilla, it's from "Easy Packing + Organized Storage" mod.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 24 Jan, 2024 @ 3:28am 
Could you clarify what you mean by stack of books? That's not a vanilla feature.
toomanynights 24 Jan, 2024 @ 12:53am 
Hello, thanks for a great mod. Coundn't stand all books being generic "Books" and being consumed on reading.

A small bug (if it is) - when you put the books together into a stack of 5/10 and then unpack, you get different books. Not sure if it's important.
mars4835 10 Jan, 2024 @ 3:14am 
Oh awesome! I wasn't sure if editing the list at all would mess the mod in any way. Thank you!
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 9 Jan, 2024 @ 3:52pm 
Buzz 9 Jan, 2024 @ 3:19pm 
Are The Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit included in this good sir?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 6 Jan, 2024 @ 3:17pm 
Adding more names is possible, it's all in a giant list.
mars4835 6 Jan, 2024 @ 7:05am 
Random question, but how easy would it be to add to the mod? I'm a big comic book fan IRL, and have actually been looking for a mod like this (absolutely love it), but I was wondering if one would be able to easily add more comics from the time period?
Jasdan 2 Jan, 2024 @ 7:44pm 
I have a suggestion:
Make a submod that adds "Boring Literature", that do nothing useful for the player if they tried to read them but are, just there.
Books on Laws, "How to Pay Taxes for ***", "Dinner Etiquette Vol1.: Identifying Types of Forks", "Dinner Etiquette Vol5: Te Art of Napking Folds", "My Boyfriend is a Vampire", "Advanced Algebra", "Valutec Washing Machine User Manual" that kind of stuff.
Why?
This would help with the issue of having too many useful books on libraries, particularly recipe and Skill Books while also maintaining a realistic amount of books on the shelves.
(Would help to reduce the amount of useful books by spawning this without having to go crazy on reducing literature loot).

Thank you! Will monitor it more. This error popped up for a user of my collection and seemingly caused the game to crash/load infinitely. Seems to be a memory issue though, not specifically something to do with this mod, still wanted to let you know.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 9:55am 
Seems to be an error with errorMag - and you're somehow getting an error before errorMag is set. Try moving errorMag all the way to the front of your load order if you're on MP.

As for the NamedLit related information it is not clear why tableinsert would be failing there.
Deathstar 27 Dec, 2023 @ 9:13am 
Hi Chuckleberry, is this error anything of note?

hi, this is like my favorite mod! it really makes the game a lot more immersive!! i was curious if you're planning to add an 'above board' way to adjust the stats curves--i've jury rigged it for myself to follow parabolic arcs w/ different max times readable for books/comics/magazines so that my characters get more out of the books peaking by the 8th/4th/1st reading before zeroing out after the 12/6/3...but i feel kinda guilty messing around with the pretty code 🥲🥲 it's beautiful, no joke after wrestling w the inanity of the vanilla code (i still love it tho) i really appreciate how nice it is!! just hoping there's plans for that kinda stuff, but it's really nice regardless
