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: Should Have Been: Bookshelves
Update 8/14/22:
- Added cart from High School Years (sorry, I meant to upload this a while ago but forgot to screenshot it)
Past Updates
Update 6/14/22:
- It's come to my attention that the line between this mod and Should Have Been: 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 that mod. If it's something else (a nightstand, a table, etc) that just has books on it it's still in this one.
- So on that note: I've removed the Cool Kitchen Stuff and Dream Home Decorator shelves from this mod. If you want them back you can get them here: Should Have Been: Bookshelves. The functionality is identical, the mods are just slightly better organized.
- 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 v1.4 the Separate download has been discontinued.
- Renamed the files to better reflect the mod name
- Now there are two downloads: Merged and ByPack.
- Merged contains all objects in one file.
- ByPack contains a TUNING file and 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.
- Okay, so this isn't actually a new update. I realized when doing some organization that this update never made it from my Patreon to MTS. So I'm posting it now.
- Added Tiny Living Kitchen Shelf. I eventually want to make this one even more multi-purpose but for now it's just a shelf and a bookshelf.
- Added Basegame nightstand and Cottage Living hutch
- Changed the name of the set to Surface/Bookshelves since it's no longer really all tables.
- Added Dream Home Decorator modular cabinet thing. I was originally going to put it in a different set but I decided it fit better here since it's more like an end table than anything else.
- Changed the Cool Kitchen Stuff abbreviation from CK to CKS because I realized the possible confusion with Country Kitchen Kit (which will be CKK). I'll be doing the same for City Living and Cottage Living in another set soon.
- Moved the merged pack files into a subfolder in the zip. Should make it easier to just delete them if you only want the full merged version.
- Started adding version numbers to the zip files. I should have done this and the folder sooner, but I'm still figuring out how I want to organize things.

About Me

- 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.
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.
