This TES5Edit script changes the DATA/Type field of BOOK records to match the item depicted in the inventory art.

If the DATA/Type field and inventory art do not match SkyUI will display the wrong icon next to the item name.

The script comes in two versions:

The replacer version will modify the original mod files, this can save plugin space.

The patcher version places the modifications into a new plugin, this allows the patch to work if the mods are updated.

How to install:

1. Download the latest version of TES5Edit.
2. Extract it wherever you want.
3. Install MXPF (if using the patcher version).
4. Download and extract this mod into your TES5Edit installation.
