This has been a long time in the making.
In the vanilla game, the Fabrication skill books that come with Eco Lifestyle use the same books as the Mixology skill. This makes them difficult to identify at a glance and also makes them stand out as the only skill books not to feature their own design. Their display versions, which appear when placed on retail displays from GtW of B&H, are also broken which means they don't switch to a display version like they should.
This mod gives each of the Fabrication skill books their own unique texture as well as fixing the display versions. I've also done the same to the Fabrication skill manual that Sims with the Renaissance Sim Aspiration reward trait are able to write.
Simply place the package in your mods folder and all of the existing and new Fabrication books and manuals will be replaced in your game with this updated version. It's perfectly safe to remove at any time if you decide you want to.
Notes
You may need to delete your localthumbcache.package in order for the new thumbnail images to show up.
Thanks to brazenlotus for helping me understand what needed to be changed, and where, to make this work.
