I've moved on from modding to professional game development, but feel free to contact me via Facebook, Twitter or Youtube and visit my webpage for news!
Please observe these rules when posting here: 1. I don't plan to make further changes to The Forgotten City, so please don't ask. 2. Please don't post spoilers here without appropriate spoiler warnings. 3. If you encounter any issues, remember to check the FAQ and the "KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS" thread in the forums. If your bug is not reported there, please post it in the "BUG REPORTS" thread.
So, don't want to throw shade at either mod, but there is a major incompatibility that, if not taken into account, can break The Forgotten City mod Pick up books simple is a mod that does what it says on the tin. It allows you to grab books instead of reading them first constantly. But a problem that comes up is twofold:
1: The player can now pick up all the notes in this mod. 2: Most devestating, it breaks the mod's quest.
Now, do I expect this to be patched? Outside from a third party coming in to deal with it, no, I doubt it. This is beyond the scope of PUBS and the dev of TFC has already moved on from modding.
So, if you're starting a new game, for the love of the divines, don't install both mods. You'll give yourself a headache.
Sad that you have moved on from here. But glad that in your time you left this GEM!
I went in blind... and I stumbled around like a new born baby. I kinda pieced together the whole (one slip up and everyone dies) vibe on my own from all the death around me. And picked up pieces here and there as I went further into this.
It is not as long as what it could be... I started at 20:00 something and walked out of there with the quest done at 23:30. Maybe I got lucky... or I was overly cautious. I stealthed the entire city, did not steal anything, was a good boy. No killing or even so much as angering anyone.
When I saw that I had those options in the dialogue... I got scared. made it through with only the one fail. And feel that I should actually go back to that first save just before I jumped in. and Do it all over again.
10/10. One of the Best story mods I have played in years.
I usually rarely write comments or reviews, but in this case, I just have to. I can‘t express how much fun I‘ve had with this mod. Playing it, I was constantly in awe at how polished the whole mod is for, well, a mod! The time and thought that must‘ve gone into the development - impressive! I installed it automatically by installing Nolvus so I was not prepared for what was coming at me when starting this quest. The music, the voice acting, the plot - everything. It was one of the most intense gaming experiences I‘ve had in a while. I can‘t thank everyone who was a part of making this enough, but: thank you so much! I‘m completely bamboozled. :)
I just finish this mod, this mod is juste insane thanks to all ppl that work on that. Everything work in 2025 ( I installed it mid game and I have 40+ mod installed and all work ) Thanks again =)
Clearly not a completionist .... there is loot to be found, unique conversations and a time warp scenario.... they even made a whole separate game from this with more in-depth story.

What. A. Mod. The well written multiple ending, the choices, the characters and element of surprises that makes me feel excited like a kid finding something new again. Can't wait to play through for another ending with a different character. Thank you so much for the experience!
