FAQ : Q : Are the books read before the mod installation marked as read A : They should be since 1.1
Q : Why are quest items not green A : Can't, they do get their custom prefix/suffix tho (if possible) also it makes more sense to be able to see quest items at a glance, you'll have a lot less of them than other books, they'll be ticked with better inventory UI tho
Q : Are all similar books in the world updated with their read color & pre/suf once read A : Yes, for name changes it should be instantaneous, for rarity change I check all books in the world when you save as it's a ~60ms operation, better not to spam it.
Q : Bugs A : No (either the game or the mods doesn't like some books and doesn't mark them as read, am looking into it) fixed by giving books health in 1.2 but outside of those bugs and maybe some others it's totally bug free I swear (´。＿。｀)
Q : Why MCM needed?????!!! I hate requirements and will s#*! myself in front of your house!!!! A : ur mom
Q : Mod.io? A : No, Larian hates SE mods
If I don't answer your question it's either that
Your English sounds annoying to deal with
It's answered here or in the mod description
Problem sounds like an installation issue and I'm not tech support (yet)
Thanks so much for your help! Everything’s working now thanks to your guidance. Really appreciate you taking the time to share the details. You're awesome!❤️
Since updating everything for patch 8 something isn't quite right. The MCM window for this mod opens every time I load a game (which didn't used to happen) and when I read a book the game reapplies the shiny dot above the icon for the book as if it's new to my inventory each time.
MCM window opening each savegame-load should be getting a fix in an upcoming version as stated by its author Volitio in the comments, so it's not this mod causing that behavior.
I've had something similar happening as you describe, though in patch 7 still: IIRC it was "Invasion Plans for the Sword Coast" which got the read-suffix added over and over again (which is set to "(memorized)"), so it would read "Invasion Plans for the Sword Coast (memorized) (memorized) (memorized)" - the mod didn't recognize it being marked correctly already or something.
Edit: Found it again, sold it to Isobel of all people🙃:
Edit2: Noticed, other "Invasion Plans for..."-items have the same glitch happening.
after reading a book check mark shows, ok thats great. Downside any further exploration in same area or in another dungeon crawl. A book I already have read from a prior location wasn't checked marked in the new location I'm at. Which left me to read the book again and add it to my book bag. Only to see i already had 2 or more of the same books already been read.
So either I need to change a setting or add a prefix/suffix. I don't know. Alternative is to collect all books let them stack(add more pointless weight) or I ignore every book i come across and miss out on quests and lore.
thank you for letting us know that you're going to learn how to mod and make changes yourself to share for free with the community! how kind of you to be so generous without expecting thanks from anyone
What if i don't want to use MCM? Can i still use an older version?
Older version of the mod is available to downloaded, but I'll bet they are not supported. Unknown if they will work on the game version or the other mods you're using.
So if I read a book and let's say that there is another book just like the one I read nearby, is it intentional that the unread book does not turn read, even if it is the same book? I have no idea if this makes sense or not. What I mean to say is that books that are the same and are near one another don't get updated only after leaving the game and entering it again. Is that intentional?
Edit: I just read your Q&A and I think you already answered this question, sorry for bothering you.
Works for me on Patch 7, hotfix 28, single-player, and alongside all my other QoL, UI, Cosmetic mods (~50 total, DL'd all early Nov)... PC, Win10, using BG3MM (unless any mod description/etc says to do manual install)... Thank you very much for this mod! <3 ... using with Better Inventory UI mod.

Here's the fix:
1. Go to your Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender\BG3MCM\Profiles\Default\Fallen_Mark_As_Read
2. Open settings.json
3. Copy and paste the following (with whatever prefix/suffix you prefer)
{
"debug" :
{
"debug_level" : 3
},
"features" :
{
"GENERAL_SETTINGS" :
{
"RARITY" : 1,
"READ_BOOK_PREFIX" : "ZZ-",
"READ_BOOK_SUFFIX" : "",
"UPDATE_RARITY" : true
}
},
"general" :
{
"MOD_ENABLED" : true
}
}
Everything’s working now thanks to your guidance.
