2. CONFLICTS/KNOWN ERRORS

Conflicts

If you are using mods that add new items to the merchants� stocks, you will need to rebuild your Bash Patch for these mods to work together. Refer to the Wrye Bash application to proceed.


Known Tamriel Compendium-related errors

- Some books are very long (Over 30-40 pages) and may drop your FPS when reading them.

3. PLAYING

After making sure that Tamriel Compendium is activated, launch the game. The new books are added to the game's book leveled lists. This means that they randomly appear in dungeons, merchant wares, homes or any locations where books are spawned. But the best way to find them is to browse through the College of Winterhold's library or purchase them from the librarian.

4. CHANGELOG

- Changed 11 books into skill books, courtesy of Thurderan
- Added ABCs for Barbarians, courtesy of Jackstarr
- Added the books to most general good merchants, orc wisewomen and castle wizards.
- Fixed several graphical glitches in some books and reworked some paragraphs.

V1.0
- Initial release.


5. WHAT IS TAMRIEL COMPENDIUM?

Overview

Tamriel Compendium adds 176 books that were present in past Elder Scrolls games but not included in Skyrim. Books of fiction, theatrical plays, jokes, metaphysics, guides, poems, debates, religion and more. Many of those books come from another province of Tamriel, allowing you to learn more about their views on societies, politics and religion. Some tales are written in twelve volumes or more. If you're the player who loves to forget about Skyrim and dig into Tamriel's lore, you'll find that visiting merchants, looting dungeons and browsing through the College of Winterhold's library will greatly reward you.

The writers of the Elder Scrolls team have given us excellent reading material in the games but many do not make it in the next. Tamriel Compendium brings this material to your character's reading table.

Grab yourself a candle, browse through your book collection and take a seat. Stories of honor, gods and Tamriel myths await you.
