Skill Book Mod
This is a two-part mod that focuses on skill books.
The first part adds some more use to in-game recipes. Since the player doesn’t need to read a recipe to craft it, the actual recipe books have very little value if using a guide. This attempts to give the player some reason to seek them out by having them give you small skill point gains on reading them. I assigned each recipe book a skill gain based on either the recipe they teach you or the content of the book. The gains are doubled by the Bookworm perk and are as follows:
-Hunter’s Memo 1: +3 Survival
-Hunter’s Memo 2: +3 Survival
-Hunter’s Memo 3: +3 Barter
-Survival Instructions No. 21: +3 Tinkering
-Survival Instructions No. 23: +3 Tinkering
-Survival Instructions No. 24: +3 Stealth
-Survival Instructions No. 25: +3 Tinkering
-Survival Instructions No. 26: +3 Tinkering
-Recipe for Healing Powder: +3 First Aid
-Recipe for Strange Antidote: +3 First Aid
-Militia Man Aniskin vs. Radiation Poisoning I: +3 Pistols & SMG
-Militia Man Aniskin vs. Radiation Poisoning II: +3 Pistols & SMG
-Kogan the Savage 0 Foreword: +3 Barter
-Kogan the Savage 1 Slave of Centurions: +3 Tinkering
-Kogan the Savage 2 Wisdom of the Barbarian: +3 Rifles & Shotguns
-Kogan the Savage 3 Fair Maiden’s Flight: +3 Rifles & Shotguns
-Kogan the Savage 4 Savage Savior: +3 Hand-to-Hand
-Kogan the Savage 5 Kogan the Eunuch: +3 Throwing
-Kogan the Savage 6 Kogan the Avenger: +3 Stealth
-Advice from the Toilet 1: +3 Tinkering
-Advice from the Toilet 2: +3 Tinkering
-Advice from the Toilet 3: +3 Tinkering
-Advice from the Toilet 4: +3 Tinkering
-Advice from the Toilet 5: +3 Tinkering
-Advice from the Toilet 6: +3 Tinkering
-Laborer’s Calendar I: +3 Throwing
-Laborer’s Calendar II: +3 Throwing
-Laborer’s Calendar III: +3 Tinkering
-Laborer’s Calendar IV: +3 Rifles & Shotguns
-Laborer’s Calendar V: +3 Rifles & Shotguns
-Laborer’s Calendar VI: +3 Tinkering
-Laborer’s Calendar VII: +3 Tinkering
The second part of the mod adds in 7 skill books from the classic Fallout games. These books can be bought from the bookseller in Krasnoznamenny. Their skill bonuses are also doubled by Bookworm.
-Big Book of Science, +15 Technology, ID: MemoBigBookScience
-Cat’s Paw Magazine, +15 Pickpocket, ID: MemoCatsPaw
-Dean’s Electronics, +15 Tinkering, ID: MemoDeanElectronics
-First Aid Book, +15 First Aid, ID: MemoFirstAid
-Guns and Bullets, +15 Rifles & Shotguns, ID: MemoGunsNBullets
-Scout Handbook, +15 Survival, ID: MemoScoutHandbook
-Maddock’s Tricks and Traps, +15 Stealth, +15 Throwing, ID: MemoTricksNTraps
COMPATIBILITY
-Not compatible with any mod that alters the vanilla crafting recipe books
-Moderate potential incompatibility with mods that alter the outer Krasnoznamenny cell. Might keep the bookseller from stocking the new books. To fix, just change which mod takes priority or spawn in with console commands.
