Help With Library and Bookshelf Books

Hi, I know it's been a little while since I've been here. Mostly everything runs pretty smoothly. However, I don't know if I clicked on something or what, but no matter what I do, even in a brand new game, my library and bookshelves have absolutely NO books at all and the game cannot spawn any new skill books. When I reset the lot, miscellaneous books could be generated, but not skill books. I tried buying new Book Coral and Penningway bookshelves, but no skill books at all. After buying those and going back into live mode, the shelves remain empty. Also, the book store is completely and totally empty!! I've never had this happen before! How can I get skill and other books back?

Edit to add: I also tried using DE to add books to the shelves, but that didn't work either. The shelves remained empty. :(

I would suggest doing a test run with all non-Raas mods removed and the scriptCache file cleared (deleted) to see if things happen any differently that way. If so, then you know it's a mod from another party that is causing the issue.

Thanks bunches Igazor! At first I thought I hadn't d/led any mods for a while, but I have d/led non mod cc and the "Children Can" mod series. I've not had any problems w/the "Children Can," but I have had problems w/certain cc before and sure enough when I took that cc out, everything worked great! :( Anyway, as far as I know, everything is working good again.

Hi again, I just wanted say that something very odd happened last night. After reloading the books in all the shelves, I got 2 msgs in the corner about "all the books missing" and that the "city council had to replace them." I'm wondering if I had let the game run a bit before doing what I did if the game would have replaced the books anyway? Has anybody ever tried that (letting the game run for a bit to see if it will load missing books)?

That's storyprogression doing that. Yes it will continue to replace them but if you have a mod causing them to not be there I'd get rid of it rather than depending on that.

Hi again, I did some poking around and started a new game w/all of my mods in place. I found out that the game generated all books everywhere at the start. So my conclusion is that the problem is something w/the old saves. These were very old saves from 2009 when I didn't have all of the exp packs yet.
