I am looking for an artist who could retexture the book covers to make them fit in with the retextures in Book Covers Skyrim. Please send me a message if you could do this for me.

Now that IronDusk33 has released his mod on SE, I'm planning on converting this mod to SE within the next month or so :) The 'scripts only' version should work on SE out of the box without any conversion but the books will need to be converted.
Thank you so much for producing this mod. One thing that would help a lot is if in the Spoiler section in the description, could you clarify what this mod changes? Irondusk33 never bothered to create a list of actions that impact favor. Thanks again!
Among the virtues for Talos, there is something that, in my humble opinion, contradicts the history of this divine.It should be borne in mind that Talos, prior to ascending as divine, was a mortal that everyone knows by the name of Tiber Septim. So who was Tiber Septim, aka Talos? In addition to being a dragon blood, he was Emperor Tiber Septim. The first emperor who managed to unify the entire continent (called Tamriel) of which the territory of Skyrim is part. Hence, Tiber Septim (Talos) is the very one who essentially created the empire, unifying all the nations found in Tamriel, including Skyrim. After I give him, all subsequent emperors continue to bear the name Septim, because they are descended from his dynasty.
Knowing this, how can we think that Talos can approve a rebellion that wants to divide the empire? How can we think that Talos can approve of something that destroys his own work?
To better understand what I am saying, perhaps you could read, if you want, the story of Talos at: https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Tiber_Septim
For the rest, I find that the idea of ??your Mod is very good. I also think that the "religions" mod needs some tweaking. Provided that changes are made that do not contradict the lore. Thank you for your efforts as a modder, hello.
Hey, sorry for the late reply! I think that's a really interesting take and I actually don't disagree but I definitely think there's two ways of looking at it, that's certainly one but I think another which is what I went for is that Talos would be very disappointed with what the Empire has become, dealing with the Thalmor who want to ban Talos worship, so he would admire the strong fighters that the Stormcloaks are. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely on the side of the Empire but I thought it would just add more flavour and variety to gameplay by having a god on each side (Akatosh on the Imperial side which I'm sure could be argued as well). I'm slowly making my way back into modding and when I do I will revisit this mod and/or the ideas, I'll be porting it to SE, and may release some alternative versions such as your suggestion. And as for issues with the Religion mod, I'd also look into switching to and adding my take to perhaps Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim or the even brand new Gods and Worship if possible. I'm over on SE now but I'm sure I'd be able to port them to LE if anyone wanted them But no promises or timeframes I'm afraid.
Hey there, thanks for replying. Actually upon reflection, the changes you added have really streamlined the whole mod, and fleshed it out to the point where yours and Irondusk33’s mod are a seamless.
The only additions I would make relate to first person reflection messages that remind you to pray.
Something like a script that attaches once a day that activates at a given time reminding you to pray, “I haven’t prayed today, I should take a few minutes while I can”.
At this stage while I can use the creation kit, I cannot script. Is something like this possible?
Now that I also play the SE version, converting it and uploading it will definitely be something I get round to doing myself next time I'm playing/modding Skyrim.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about scripting either! I was able to figure out IronDusk's existing script and make all the changes I wanted to but I don't know much about making new scripts - especially since its been so long since I did any Skyrim modding. To learn more, I highly recommend DarkFox's tutorials on YouTube
Began hating you and this mod after you made killing helpless dragons as something regarded evil in the mod, you treacherous snake! (Cuts your head off with a longsword)
Also have you thought about asking for people with large lore knowledge? Maybe they could assist you in fleshing out the other worship? What you've started here is a great idea. There's a guy named JasperBark that has quite a lot of lore knowledge. Especially about the lesser known, elven deities. Maybe there are more people that would contribute? This is one of the most worthwhile immersion mods. I wish I could offer some help beyond my ideas.
When I get back into Skyrim and therefore modding, I'm certainly interested in potentially making changes to the Daedra worship too. I appreciate your ideas and I'll definitely keep anything that's achievable in mind, unfortunately I can't give you any sort of estimate of when I might start looking into these changes - I haven't played Skyrim in some time, but its a game I'll always come back to
I'd love to see someone improve IronDusk's mod slightly. You seem interested in doing so, so I'll leave my thoughts with you. Why is it you can get Namira's ring, and then worship Dibella or Meridia? Why are you able to get all of the daedric artifacts, regardless of the animosity between them? I'd love to see that change. I'd really love to see worship or meditation changed so that you actually take a worthwhile pose. Enai's religious mod gives you more than one pose, adding to immersion and increasing realism. It would be nice to see that added to this mod. Another thing, why is it that I'm actively worshipping Namira, after being forsaken by the gods for being a murderer of Brother Verulus, and I'm still getting offers from Dibella, and the Aedra to worship? That makes no sense. Every time I sleep I'm getting invites from EbonArm and others. But the ones that conflict with my actions and who I'm worshipping are killing the immersion. And also, why can you worship while asleep? Every time I meditate or worship, I just sleep through it. That seems like something that needs to be improved. Lastly, some of the gifts of the gods don't make sense. Namira gives you a gift that makes people disregard you when you throw yourself at their feet like a worthless worm. But how do you do that? He doesn't give you a button to do so, which would be seriously immersive. It doesn't happen automatically. Sheathing your weapon doesn't make them stop. So it doesn't seem to work.
Let me know if you plan to address any of these problems.
Pretty much everything you pointed out is very specific and has a lot of depth, and would therefore be extremely more difficult to implement in the mod. I don't plan to make any changes beyond tweaks to the sins and virtues. I would hope the combination of mine & IronDusk's mod would make a far more realistic and immersive experience than offered in the vanilla game, but if you find it too unimmersive, unfortunately it just might not be the mod for you.

Has the praying animation been changed to something more suitable other then standing?
Edit: also it would be nice if you could provide a Change.log on the things you changed mechanically other then flavor changes, like buffs, and debuffs changes (if any made)
All the changes I've made are extremely clear in the description, check the spoiler for specifics. I will not be working on other aspects of the mod like animations. This mod makes changes to the sins and virtues of each divine, and adds books to guide you through worship in an immersive way. You should read descriptions thoroughly before asking questions.

For my personal use I have converted both this and the original to SSE.
If you have time and permission, it would be good to have this converted and uploaded to the SE page.
