Simple Skill Books

Simple Skill Books reworks both skill books themselves, and the rewards they offer. They still come in sets of five, but each has been altered in respect to their tier level, and now have a value even after that tier level has been achieved:

Book 1 - Pages 10 - Available at Tier 1 - Awards 100XP on completion.
Book 2 - Pages 50- Available at Tier 3 - Awards 500XP on completion.
Book 3 - Pages 175 - Available at Tier 5 - Awards 1,750XP on completion.
Book 4 - Pages 500 - Available at Tier 7 - Awards 5,000XP on completion.
Book 5 - Pages 800 - Available at Tier 9 - Awards 8,000XP on completion.

With zero XP in a skill, Book 1 will provide all of the first level of the skill's required XP, and a small amount more. The remainer must be obtained through other means. This gives a boost initially into the skill, but still requires the player to level the skill to advance further, rather than simply skill up via books alone as some other mods offer.

A character that already has the first level in that skill completed, such as a Repairman (Carpentry T1) will obtain 100XP for the second level of the skill, a decent amount but not enough to progress onto the next tier.

A character that has progressed even further, such as a Carpenter (Carpentry T3) can still obtain the 100XP Book 1 offers, although for this level it is a drop in the bucket. That OCD satisfaction can be obtained without considering this a wasted effort. The same applies to every skill, for every level.

As standard, the XP Multiplier that vanilla provides has been disabled, but there is a sandbox option available to restore it for those who want the easy mode.

Build 42: All new skill books added.

Please note that this multiplier, and perk multipliers do not apply to the XP skill books provide. You can't have it too easy :P
