Moderman Library

An interior area has been added filled with bookshelves for players to use: enough space for 1,760 books! This is the great library of Markarth, accessible just inside the main Markarth gate (quick to Markarth, turn right and walk about 30 steps). Automatically place books on bookshelf via universal Bethesda script.

introduce

I'm always annoyed by the lack of shelf space in player rooms - a small bookshelf from Breezehome? Are you kidding me? I had hundreds of books hoarded (in other editions) and had nowhere to put them, so I started learning authoring kits to create my own personal library.

If you like or would like to know about other features you would like to see in the Great Library, please let us know. Hope you like it!

What does this MOD do?

It adds the Great Library, an empty library that can display 1,760 books (books can be placed by activating any bookshelf). The "library" is a separate room filled with EMPTY bookshelves, as shown in the screenshot. You still have to find bookshelves to put on the shelves. Each of the 40 bookcases can hold 44 books (11 per shelf, 4 shelves/box) or 1,760 books - enough to accommodate the adventures of typical characters.

There is also a storage area at the back of the library, complete with personal storage bins and 50 free books that you can use to start filling out the large library. You can use the chest as free storage space or just close the door and forget it's there.

what changed

I modified part of Markarth's world space to include an entrance door (the last two screenshots show what was edited and where the Great Library is accessed). A new interior space was added. No other changes were made, no textures or meshes; this is just one particular issue.

Recommended MODS

The following mods complement Great Library. The first section allows you to buy more books to fill out your library; while the others make them look even better:

Skyrim SE Books

book cover skyrim

Books cover the lost library

About screenshots

The screen was taken without ENB, using vanilla Ultra settings on a GTX 970, but using the graphics module with 2k/4k textures. Another mockup I used, Rustic Noble Furniture SSE (4k version), changes the texture of the bookshelf, so your bookshelf may look different than the screenshot above.

Compatibility list

I'm playing with the 156 currently saved mods using the Great Library and don't see any conflicts. I haven't tested Open Cities Skyrim yet, but it might not work for my mod. I know of no other possible conflicts. The Great Library should be compatible with any mod except those that modify the Markarth world space, to the right of the entrance.

This is the current load order for my level 20 collision-free game:
