Installation

Install Reading Is Good using your mod manager. Place 'Reading Is Good 2.esp' near the top of your load order. Download the xEdit Patcher and put it in the TES5Edit folder. Run any other patchers (e.g. Mator Smash) now. 'Reading Is Good 2.esp' can be excluded from these patches. Load your full load order in TES5Edit. Right-click anywhere in the plugin list, and choose "Apply script...". Select "ReadingIsGoodPatcher" from the dropdown, then click OK. Choose a name for the new patch (e.g. 'Reading Is Good Patch'), then click through the rest of the dialogs. Close TES5Edit, and make sure the checkbox is checked for the new patch. Make sure the patch is enabled in your load order.

This mod reworks skill books so that instead of granting levels instantly, they give you a permanent boost to your leveling speed in the respective skill. This means that you benefit more by reading them as soon as you find them.Reading Is Good will only detect books read from your inventory or placed in the world,! Make sure to take them out of containers first.The leveling bonuses granted by the books depend on how many books you read in the corresponding skill as well as whether or not you have the Scholar's Insight ability from Black Book: The Winds of Change. The Scholar's Insight buff applies as long as you have the ability, and you can add and remove it any time. The bonuses are shown in the table below. The vanilla game contains 5 books for each skill, but other mods such as Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library can increase this number.The bonuses for the first 5 books are roughly equivalent to the best case scenario of what you would normally gain by saving all your books until the end.It's really easy, I promise!
