ANNOUNCEMENT! I will no longer be posting new mods on MTS! I'll still maintain the ones here with bug fixes and major updates, but all updates and new mods will be posted on my Website and Patreon (link in profile)
Shelves with books and magazines that should function as bookshelves but don't. Well now they do!
These are overrides to the EA objects, replacing their tuning with bookshelf tuning and moving them to the Bookshelf category in addition to wherever they normally are. It shouldn't conflict with anything unless you have something else that happens to modify these objects specifically, but please let me know if you have any problems with it.

Related bookshelf mod: Multi-Purpose Furniture: Surface/Bookshelves
Update 7/31/22:
- Moved Parenthood Magazine Rack from Decor with a Purpose: Books As Bookshelves. It functions identically to how it did in that mod, but this is a better fit.
Past Updates:
Update 6/14/22:
- It's come to my attention that the line between this mod and Multi-Purpose Furniture: Surface/Bookshelves was a but blurry so I decided to clean it up. The line is now this: if it looks like it could only really be a bookshelf it's in this mod. If it's something else (a nightstand, a table, etc) that just has books on it it's still in that one.
- So on that note: I've added Cool Kitchen Stuff and Dream Home Decorator shelves to this this mod.
- Added a shelf from Nifty Knitting Stuff.
- I realized that having Separate, Merged, and Merged by pack was probably confusing so I’ll be slowly updating all my mods to use a new structure.
- Starting with v1.2 the Separate download has been discontinued
- Now there are two downloads: Merged and ByPack.
- Merged contains all objects in one file.
- ByPack contains one file per pack. You can pick and choose the packs you have/want
- Each download also contains a file explaining this. - Please delete your existing files and redownload one of the new zips because the renamed files won’t overwrite the old ones.
- Added a shelf from Industrial Loft Kit. It's a bit less bookshelf-y than the others here but this still seemed like the best place for it.
- Made a conscious decision to not add custom thumbnails and search options for these. They're nothing new or custom. They're just bookshelves like all the others in the game.
Future Plans:
- If you know of an item I missed let me know

I have a Patreon if you want to donate and support me, but none of my functionality mods are locked behind a paywall.
If you want to test my mods in early access, become a translator, or just join my little community you can join my Discord server. The server is also typically the best way to get in touch with me if you have a question or problem.

- If you're an object creator and want to use any of my tuning you totally can. Just link people to my stuff to download it (rather than including it in your download) and send me a link to your work if you want me to share it.
- Don't upload my content anywhere without asking me. I may give permission to my translators to share my mods where they'll be more accessible to non-English speaking players.
