About this mod Machine translation
This mod reduces the time required to read any skill book to one in-game hour. Contains an optional variant that makes books weightless, compatible with the Weightless Items mod.
Reading is the foundation 📚
Core Functions ✨
- **Speed Reading**: Reduce the reading time of all skill books to only 1 hour in-game
- **Weight Optimization**: Provides an optional version to make books weightless, perfectly compatible with various item weight modules
Instructions for use 🎮
This module specifically optimizes the skill book reading experience in the original game. To ensure proper use with the weightless mod, be sure to load this mod after the weightless item mod (further down the load order in Vortex).

Notes ⚠️
- **Custom Skill Book**: Will not affect the learning time of custom skill books added through other modules
- **Price Modification Conflict**: Incompatible with any mod that modifies the price of skill books
- **Item Table Conflict**: There may be compatibility issues with book-related modules that modify the Tables/item.xml file
- **Skill tree adjustment**: After using this module, the "buffer" feat in the knowledge skill tree will become redundant, and there is no need to learn this feat in new games.
Design Concept 💡
This mod deliberately retains 1 hour of reading time, rather than eliminating reading time completely. This is to maintain the original design logic of improving skills through skill books in the core mechanism of the game. Modifications with zero reading time will destroy the balance of the game and will not be adopted.
🚀 Experience the smoother skill learning process now and say goodbye to the long waiting time!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
