Do you mean the magazines? Magazines only up your skills for a short time. The actual skill books do up your skills permanently, but there are far, far fewer of them than in FO3. Both types are working as they should for me.
no the actual books like tales of a junk.. etc
I am wondering if its like what used to happen if you used to use in FO3 with showracemenu if you use console commands your perks stop working?
