Adding books to loot tables?

[Buddy Christ]

I was not sure where to post this, so I chose this forum

 

I have a vivid imagination and I wanted to write some books for Skyrim (with adult content based on the LL mods I use)

The writing is not the part I need help with, but if I create books with CK, how do I add them to random loot tables?

I don't want to create books in a fixed location, that would probably need the edditing of existing cells and I am far from the knowledge to do so.

 

I want them to be found in chests or on bodies (so there is more interest in "hunting" for them ).

 

So my main question is: Is there a way to add books I create with the CK to random loot tables?

 

Writing books with the CK is probably the most I can do with modding since I am too stupid to learn anything else (scripts, animations etc), but I would love to work with someone who can mod by writing quests, dialogues or storylines. I have a lot of ideas and even though english is not my native language, I think my knowledge of the englisch language is adequate enough (if you do not mind punctuation or can proof read it)

I could provide a German translation at the same time I am writing in English. (Two birds and all that.. )

 

If there are modders out there, who can explain (in easy terms) how to add items to a loot table in CK and/or would like to develope a story driven mod and could use a writer or "imaginator", please let me know

 

After using all the fine/awesome/incredible mods, I would love to give something back by writing some sleazy books an/or by co-working on a mod with writing and scripts (well, story scripts, not "script" scripts )

 

I would like to blame my level of intoxication for any errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling I made in this post, but this is what you would get, I am not much better when I am sober (but I needed a certain level of alcohol to even dare to post this )

Adding stuff to leveled lists is real easy. What you wanna do after making your book in the CK is mess with the leveled item section, and look for LItemBook1All, LItemBook2All, LItemBook3All, LItemBook4All, LItemBookClutter, LItemVigilantBooks, LootSilverHandBooks10. Then you just drag and drop your book in there and that's that. Those leveled lists populate every single location where a random book would be found.

 

And you'll notice that LItemBook1All has cheap books while LItemBook4All has rare books. 2 has common and 3 has expensive but not rare. The clutter, vigilant and silverhand lists are pretty self explanatory.

 

Leveled lists are pretty great, because thanks to wrye bash you don't really have to worry about incompatibilities with anything that modifies them. Which just makes it a shame that wrye bash isn't as powerful as the oblivion or morrowind versions.

 

And hey, have you seen the other kinds of mods around here. I don't think a little naughty writing is a big deal.

Thank you!

I only started the CK once and closed it again with a panicked shriek so far.

This explanations helps a lot and when my texts are ready (writing them with Wordpad first), I will open the CK with more confidence again

 

Oh, and I wasn't worried about the content of my books being offensive or to smutty for LL, I needed some "encouragement" to openly admit I want to make some mod (even if it is a very small one)
Because now it is in the open and I have commited myself, no turning back
