Journals don't spawn at all

[DaydreamDaveyy]

"Journal" item (the one with 20 pages) doesn't spawn at all. I checked loot tables on bookshelves and desks, no journals at all there.

If you have issues with mods, try disabling them one by one or in batches to figure out which specific mod is causing the problems.

Do it on a new save to prevent any issues on your current playthrough, as removing mods can cause items to be permanently deleted.

Just done a quick search, the journal item is only listed on one loot table: "sidetable", not wure which containers that is - bed side drawers perhaps?  or maybe those small table with a drawer you find in living rooms?

Full tables is:

                "BluePen", 1,
                "ComicBook", 4,
                "Disc_Retail", 2,
                "Eraser", 2,
                "Journal", 4,
                "Magazine", 10,
                "Magazine", 10,
                "Newspaper", 4,
                "Notebook", 2,
                "Paperclip", 4,
                "Pen", 2,
                "Pencil", 4,
                "RedPen", 1,
                "SheetPaper2", 20,

My vanilla game produces journals. I have found three on my current character. I don't remember where they were looted, but they are in the game loot tables for sure.

I've seen mods overwrite loot tables - wiping them of anything that was supposed to spawn in some containers - so one of the mods might be doing that.

I did complete reinstall, with purging both Zomboid folders in Steam installation directory and C:/Users/ and unsubscribing from all my mods from Workshop. I see the journal on the list of items but nothing shows in "LootZed" or whatever it is called debug tool to check loot tables in-game. Are they spawning in really specific places?
