Description
Reading takes 5 times as long as it did before.

Now books have meaning and you cant just browse them through while looting, tossing them aside quickly. It makes reading a long process and forces you to take books you currently read with you on the looting trips. They will become a greater part of the day and overall roleplay scene as you might be forced to temporarily store them near the places you do other tasks and could have easy access to them while taking a break.










This is part of... :
Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.

maybe add a feature, like a mini game or an actual book you can read using UI to make this mod worthwhile. because reading is more of a grind then anything, and since this mod makes reading longer.. it makes more of grind.

Honestly I'm not sure I'd want to use this 1 hour/day but I don't want to play at that speed. For 3 or 4 hour days this is quite balanced and helps a lot with the fact actions don't scale with day length.

partly strange mod. I not see realism in long reading a skill book that doesn't give us much knowledges. In real life we doesn't have to read a big encyclopedia or textbooks to make just a slightly better bandage on your arm or make a wooden box because it is just a first aid, not a surgeon high education. I suppose good idea to make red reading books like skill books by reading speed and reading by pages. reading journals (auto, herbalist) should be some longer, it is good decision. ofc it's your business, but think about it

Hey, really love your mod, but is it possible to make reading journals/magazines etc. faster? Books take a long time to read and it makes sense, but reading a magazine for an hour is weird

Wow, and here I was thinking that everyone installed quicker reading mods, because default reading was annoyingly slow, specifically so in multiplayer.

A mod for making loading bar slower, mhm

I did the same as Ashlyn Bootrobba.
I uh later died and did not run the same trait

When is the last time you've read a textbook in a day?

10 minutes per page may be a tad excessive, but is far, far more accurate than Vanilla.
What other downtime activity is there anyways.
And intermediate multipliers may actually have a function at times.

balanced to have UV's learn to read mod paired!

Overdo it, again.

I can honestly say : I could not play the game without this mod. That's why I made it as first in line.
