Question: What happens when two of these mods overlap? There's a description mod that covers all books and notes, which descriptions will the ones also covered in your mod use?
Question, whats the difference between this mod and All Books and Notes have descriptions? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/107239 Just curious as to whether or not I'd need or want both
Download and compare both, they're just .ini text files.
From me personally looking at it though, their descriptions seem a touch more comprehensive. They cover the learnable spell tomes, which I avoided including since they would look odd (to me, personally) with a description since they already show the spell effects. They also cover various books that are just unavailable without console commands, which I also chose not to cover. Theirs are entirely hand-written and used the ESMs to collate all possible books into an ordered list by formid. Mine were sourced primarily from both prominent Elder Scrolls wikis so it's entirely possible that they may have missed a book or a note here or there and so my mod would miss a book or a note here or there. My descriptions are generally longer and a touch more descriptive of the item. At times theirs is just the title of the book repeated. The main file they have lists the DLC a book is from in parenthesis, I would recommend downloading the optional file that doesn't do that. These are just my observations, not to demean their work, our projects just had different priorities when writing these descriptions. I heartily recommend their All Keys Descriptions, which I do personally use.
In any case, if you'd like to use both but want my descriptions to take priority just open the BlurbsOfSkyrim_DESC.ini and do a "Find and Replace" of all priorities. So, find "-1" and replace all with "81", since the highest priority in their files is 80.
immersive is opinion based, he didn't say vanilla based , immersive is what you feel helps you get into your character, so if having a clown chase your 24miles into dawnstar is immersive to you then the word fits. sheesh
That's so sweet! <3 As a content warning, I feel I should mention there are a handful of mentions of more adult themes and content. Stuff I actually didn't even know was in the game beforehand so they may not even run into it. But there's actually a suicide note that is found in one instance (which I explicitly call as such to honor the moment and the game's writer's intentions) and a book description that mentions it as well, and then one or two notes that mention affairs/adultery. I tried to be as tactful as I could in other instances, such as a note describing the burying of children, describing it as "gruesome" and nothing more. But I did think I should let you know, just as the author of these blurbs. I know it's a game "about" killing and such, so it comes with the territory, but still.
Every single book and note!? That is some serious dedication, I like to hoard every in-game book so I can't wait to try this mod out and see all the blurbs.
Legend. This has a slight overlap with another book / description mod but in looking at the work in both of them, I'm so glad I can bump yours to the highest priority. Top shelf work.

Now do the same for a fully-loaded Legacy of the Dragonborn museum with every single patch added. jkjkjkjkjk
So... the English part is debatable? *evil grin* Sorry, I had just HAD to.
Anyway, thanks for making this!
EDIT: Bad joke (above) aside, this is amazing! I finally know what some books are about without having to read them.
