Is this mod compatible/necessary with patch 1.0.252.0? I've been holding off on playing because I knew this patch was in the works, but I didn't see any mention about how some skills either didn't have skillbooks or had skillbooks but were never sold by vendors. Was this changed at all? And if not, does the mod work with the latest patch?
Actually it looks like this isn't the big rebalance patch I've been waiting on, and that the patch is still pretty far off... oh well, time to get back to waiting I guess!
yeah it does work with the latest patch. And works with other mods. I have this and the authors Infinite Skillbooks plus another main mod.
I had to copy PurchasableSkillbooks.txt as pointed out in the OP to get it to work with my main mod (Andy's Essentials).
Just started replaying with these mods as my first run thru were all lonewolves, but I find it more fun with 2 companions plus these mods.
