I won't report this as a bug since its largely just a compatibility issue but I am pretty sure that the Ten Bloods patch of LL does not play nice with Obscure's College patch. Its not something thats that big of a deal but its what I pinned down as my issue. I don't want to make requests but if you ever have time to look into it then I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm attempting to make a new integration mod myself atm, probably using levelled list swapper for vanilla lists and CID for Bibliophile's. But yes, my permissions remain open in case anyone wants to make other distribution patches, including this one!
Thanks for the heads up on the updated integration! To answer kaizer's question, the books in AL 1.2 aren't in the current integration plugin's LLs yet, so there isn't anything new for me to adapt yet until Jenasto updates that part of AL as I'm not interested in making my own changes to integrate AL 1.2's books.
Update (Dec. 18, 2024): I've fully updated the AL module for AL 1.2's new integration. Since it shuffles quite a few texts around, I'm keeping 1.0.1 up in old files if you prefer the old integration settings. Do NOT install AL 1.2's integration add-ons if you intend to still use 1.0.1 of my mod.
My Lost Library patch's ESP is meant to replace Bibliophile's Lost Library patch; you won't need to install that from BP's FOMOD at all if you want my changes here.
All Lost Library-related patches rely on the FormIDs present in Lost Library Redux's ESPFE plugin, no exceptions.
The Lost Library FormIDs inside LOTD's esm are different from Redux's ESPFE, so using my ini files as is won't work with LOTD out of the box even by renaming the files.
From what I've seen opening up the mods and comparing the texts in xEdit, Lost Library used Kirkbride's original KINMUNE text, while you used ANON/ANU/ANUI-EL for Apocryphal Library. The other four texts didn't have any another major differences besides page typesetting, the two duplicate notes being...actual notes instead of books, and/or differences in the title page/preface. I might consider making a separate patch to rename AL's copy to ANON/ANU/ANUI-EL and apply LL's KINMUNE cover to it considering AAA has enough differences to stand out as a separate text, and there is precedent of such in vanilla anyways...
The SkyPatcher side involved a lot of copy pasting until I found Draft Whatever.ini midway through the main LL distribution ini. I probably would've lost my sanity if I didn't run into it at all. ;;
SkyPatching the cover switch is working fine, as expected. However, it doesn't look like the renaming function for books is working, which is likely an issue on SkyPatcher's side again. There's no issues renaming the book to ANON/ANU/ANUI-EL through xEdit either.

I'll survive a couple of duplicated books.
Anyway thanks for making this! I haven't touched SkyPatcher yet so I wasn't sure where to begin.
