Shelf Obsessed

DO NOT feed my mods to AI - if you ask, I will teach you what I know. Once upon a time, there was a lovely little mod that let you put things on bookshelves. It was the very first mod I ever installed in Vintage Story and remains one of my favourites to this

About this project

What does Shelf Obsessed add?

DO NOT feed my mods to AI - if you ask, I will teach you what I know.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely little mod that let you put things on bookshelves. It was the very first mod I ever installed in Vintage Story and remains one of my favourites to this day. Unfortunately, SmeeSlug hasn't updated it in over a year now (May 2024) and a few things are now wonky.

So here I am! Bringing stuff to bookshelves in current itterations of the game and hopefully expanding on it. Why limit ourselves to bookshelves, afterall? There are normal shelves, tool racks, display cases, and vertical racks too! Some things sit funny, and that's a future-me problem. Happy shelving!

Bookshelf Backing Update (2.2.0) - bookshelf backing now matches the woodtype of the bookshelf, instead of just being black

DO NOT use Shelf Obsessed and Shelfish at the same time - These mods obviously conflict because they're doing the same thing; so you only get one, and Shelf Obsessed is the most compatible with current versions of Vintage Story.

Here's the discord link, in case of troubles or requests!
