[EDIT: FOUND] Bookcases with large shelves

Araneae6537 · December 2023

Specifically, I would love to have the bookcases built into Kelesan’ruhn as furnishings because the shelves are actually tall enough to hold the tallest book collections in Shalidor’s library.

I do love the “Apocrypha Bookcase, Large” but need one in a similar style that can accommodate large books and jars and things.

EDIT: Actually, the “Apocrypha Bookcase, Large” DOES fit all the books from Shalidor’s library (the shelves are both tall enough and deep enough for the books). I have no idea why I thought the shelves were not large enough. 🤔

This thread can be deleted, unless it might be helpful to someone looking for a bookcase with large shelves.

Deleting things like this is pretty much *never* helpful, because yes, somebody will come along tomorrow looking for this. Heck, *I* will come along next week and look for it, because I forgot the answer you found.

Something to keep in mind for larger shelves is that the player interaction distance shortens with height to the point of being useless after around a foot overhead; your player will just run into the bookcase for a few seconds and not open the book.

You can get around this somewhat with ramps and ladders, but it can be hard to make it look nice.

Good to know, thank you! I will probably put decorative books and specimens on the higher shelves. I would love to have a narrow stair and walkway in the Apocrypha style to access higher shelves.
