Remove readable content from Merchants

This is a mod response to my original mod called "All readable content available".
There was an issue for individuals where when all readable content was added to the merchant's inventory and their game was saved, this was saved forever because it saved the inventory state for the merchant and player.

What this mod does is remove all readable content from the merchants and the game's mechanics adds the correct books back.

I have tested this with 6 saves and 10 merchants to ensure they have their correct books and the additonal readable content was removed but I still encourage the subscriber to use a separate duplicate save (Load the affected saved game without loading the mod. Create a save in a new file.)

Here are the steps to ensure there are no issues.

1: Ensure the original mod that added all books has been removed (assuming you have not already unsubscribed). It can be found in your workshop directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\someNumericalIdentifier\allbooksonmerchant if you are on a windows computer.)

2: Load Witcher 3.

3: Create new save file from affected save file(The one with all the extra books) just for preserving the original save file.

4: Close Witcher 3.

5: Subscribe to Mod.

6: Load Witcher 3 and the save file with the extra books.

7: Check the merchants that would normally have books (Marcus, diagram seller in Toussaint if you want. Various blacksmiths if you want).

8: If everything looks good, save game.

9: Unsubscribe from this mod. Once the books are removed, you no longer need this. It'll just keep trying to remove the books it's already removed each time the game loads.



I will mention once again that it's best to create a duplicate save. Once you save the game after you change the inventory for yourself or a merchant, it sticks and there's no going back.

Hopefully this resolves all issues.

For anyone that doesn't mind having all merchants have all these readable items (and the few second delay, you can ignore this mod.)
