According to the guide, you're supposed to talk to the librarian about "organize books." He does not have this topic. I tried consoling it in (addtopic -organize books-, because that's how the topic is listed in the CS) but that just gave me a script error. Anyone got any idea what's going on here?

This is on my boyfriend's game so he's barely running any mods at all, and the only one that does anything with dialogue is Julan.

That is how it's supposed to work.
The sorting topic is added to him by default, as part of his initial greeting, as I recall.

To actually sort books you just ask him about "organize books" while you have some books in your inventory.
Last time I tried it, it worked perfectly for me.

Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling a fresh copy of the plugin?
I'm not sure what else could be causing it.
From what you said, there really shouldn't be any problems at all, and I've never heard anything about Julan being incompatible with UL.

Hmm... I keep hearing about UL having so many issues recently.
Maybe I should do something about it myself.

For example, Stuporstar made UL compatible with my Bathing Mod, but when I last tried using UL, it didn't work.
I tested it, and somehow UL causes the whole Bathing Mod to stop working. (You couldn't actually take baths... anywhere.)
When I just removed UL, my Bathing Mod began working properly again.

I was planning to make a small addon for UL, to give Tel Uvirith some Better Bodies mannequins, and some extra storage.
If I bothered to do that, I could just as well try to make it into a bugfix patch, as well.
I can't promise that I could fix everything, but it could be worth a look, at least.

Regardless, I can't do it right now, as I'm still tied down with my current project.
As soon as I'm done though, I'd be quite happy to look into this, if anyone is still interested.

The sorting topic apparently SHOULD be added in his initial greeting, and wasn't, because he doesn't have it. I think the problem might be that my boyfriend may not have spoken to the librarian until after finding Uvirith's tomb, because there's another greeting that overrides that one if you have the first Uvirith's Tomb journal entry that I discovered when I looked at the mod in the CS to try and figure out what's wrong. A fix, actually, might be as simple as reordering the greetings... I'll try that.

As for BB mannequins, that'd be sweet.

I second the support for the improved storage and mannequins for UL.

Plangkye, I seem to remember having that problem before... But I can't be too sure, now that I use BuUG instead of UL. I think I just started a new game and talked to the librarian before anything else.

Then I guess it's settled then. ^_^

After I'm done with my current project and the Blood and Gore fix, I'll look into it.
At the very least, I can add the mannequins and extra storage.
As for the bugfixing... I'll see what I can do.

Hmm. I had no problem with the librarian. Of course, I talked with him before I strolled down to check out Uvirith's Tomb. Maybe that is the problem. Anyway, he sorts my books any time I choose " -organize books- " from his conversation choices.

Also, I brought some mannequins over from Ashlander Tent and they seem to work quite well in the Vault area - better than in the tent, by the way, since I can set them up in front of me with no problem. I think they work better (for me) without a special stand to put them on.

I have Julan with no troubles at all, but then I don't bring him to Tel Uvirith much. He assists me on the other side of the island and since I now teleport everywhere (I have Guild Guides capability), it is easier to just pick him up in Balmora when I have things to do over there.

I have been through most of the UL quests - well, at least I've finished the stronghold build, gotten the alchemy table, bag of holding, inscription table, and Tome of Knowledge, plus calmed Lord Uvirith by getting him company, have regular shipments from everywhere except Mournhold and Solsteim, and a special Council Club named after me - and no troubles at all other than a conflict with a mod that adds a menu and quests for Rat-in-the-Pot in Ald Ruhn (which I had to uninstall due to dialog conflicts). The game is going well, the stronghold is fantastic, and I am taking my time, enjoying all the new things. My only wish is that there was a little more storage outside the vault area for NOM ingredients and things I intend to sell, but I doubt if I would ever have enough of those. Being a confirmed pack rat, I fill up storage crates, bags, chests and urns faster than I can find them.

In addition, I have completed building the town of Uvirith's Grave around my stronghold and now have all sorts of snooty nobles, suspicious traders, and helpful retainers. Life is good amid the lava pools.

Thanks, Nowena. Good to know it's working for someone.

As for the Ashlander Tent, it already had mannequins, it wasn't my idea to add them.
I just made them work with Better Bodies.

Yeah, I'll definitely work on UL soon.
I'm not sure If I'll really be able to fix everything, but I can certainly try. ^_^

Well, I've sent an email to Stuporstar, asking about UL.
If I don't hear back from her in a few days, I'll try to fix the bugs myself.

If I do hear back from her soon... Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
