Skill Names for Skill Books
by rooksby

// INTRO
I wanted a mod that tells me what skill a skill book levels up without having to look it up on the UESP.
Edits all skill book titles, not the ID or anything else. This includes skill books added by Bloodmoon as well.

// FEATURES
The file contains a comparison image and two .ESPs:

> SkillNameSkillBooks_Complete-Skills.ESP
Puts the complete skill in the book title, and greatly shortens existing names.
Serial books like the 36 Lessons of Vivec keep their numbering to avoid confusion.

> SkillNameSkillBooks_Shortened-Skills.ESP
Puts an abbreviated skill name in the book title, and shortens some existing names. Serial books keep their numbering to avoid confusion.
This version is for those who want the functionality, but want to keep some immersion.

Reference list at the bottom.

// EXAMPLES

- Night Falls on Sentinel
- The Wolf Queen, Book VIII
- Mystery of Talara, Part 3

Anything that edits skill books in any way will need a merged object patch.
