Named Literature - Stats Addon

Meanwhile, magazines, newspapers, etc. don't need as many readings to finish because they are much shorter than books. Also lets you customize each literature type's maximum number of reads and each read's effect on boredom, stress, and unhappiness using sandbox options. An "effect_tool.xlsx" is included for those who want a more convenient way to make the table strings for sandbox options.

all my thanks to Chuckleberry Finn who not only made Named Literature to begin with, but also helped me lots! nothing but my best regards!

This mod by default changes reading so that a player needs to read a book a few times (5 times by default) before getting a good amount of unhappiness etc. reduction: for happiness, -3 to start with by default, but by the 5th reading onwards each read will be -11 unhappiness: get cozy with your books! By default, the maximum number of reads is 15 for books. The different stats curve encourages a character to read a book for few hours, as starting a new book means a lot less happiness etc. By default the maximum number of readings is 2 for most magazines, 1 for newspapers, 3 for word search and 4 for crossword—they are not as long as books! This differs form the base mod, where one max read stat rules them all. The goal is: organic RP immersion from sensible game mechanics :)

NOT by default, you may specify your own stat effect curves for the literature in your game! It's in the Named Literature sandbox settings and the instructions and examples are in the tooltips. Good luck!

Please let me know if you use this mod and if there are BUGS I will SQUASH them just for you <3
