📋 About This Mod
I got sick of well rested/lovers embrace running out if I fast traveled anywhere further than from Sanctuary to Red Rocket, and the only mod I could find that modded the duration made it a year which is more than I wanted. So I figured out how to make it last longer.
As only the duration of three buffs were changed, the only things this mod will be able to interfere with is any other mods that alter the duration of Well Rested, Lovers Embrace and Squirrel Stew. As there's likely a bunch of mods that do blanket changes to a lot of different foods I created a version without the Squirrel Stew change just in case.
PICK A SINGLE FILE AND USE ONLY IT. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AND WANT TO USE A DIFF VERSION YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE OLD VERSION FIRST. IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD BOTH MODS AND WISH TO UPGRADE TO A DIFF VERSION YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE SQUIRREL STEW MOD AS WELL.
Well Rested & Squirrel Stew 24H Modded duration for Squirrel Stew, Well Rested and Lovers Embrace from 1440 to 4320.
Well Rested & Squirrel Stew 72H (Recommended. Lasts long enough to travel anywhere, clear a dungeon and return) Modded duration for Squirrel Stew, Well Rested and Lovers Embrace from 1440 to 12960.
Well Rested & Squirrel Stew 1 Week Modded duration for Squirrel Stew, Well Rested and Lovers Embrace from 1440 to 30240.
Well Rested & Squirrel Stew 30 Days Modded duration for Squirrel Stew, Well Rested and Lovers Embrace from 1440 to 129600.
Well Rested & Squirrel Stew 1000 Days (UNTESTED. What. I'm not gonna sit on a chair for 1000 days, what is this, prison?) Modded duration for Squirrel Stew, Well Rested and Lovers Embrace from 1440 to 4320000.
For the Well Rested only versions, the Squirrel Stew change was omitted.
Tested by sitting on a chair till the buffs wore off, worked as intended. I've been using the 72 hour version since January so far and have had no issues in well over 1000 hours play time and about a dozen separate characters. Don't have to start a new game.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 870 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Gives you total control over buff duration—pick from 24H to 1000 days to match your playstyle.
- Lightweight and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition updates.
- Only affects three specific buffs—if you wanted more comprehensive resting overhauls, this won't cover it.
- Merged Squirrel Stew option might conflict with other mods that alter stew recipes or effects.
For Skyrim players who find the default 8-hour Well Rested buff too short and want a simple, configurable extension. Also great for survival-style playthroughs where long rests are common. Skip if you want deeper gameplay changes—this is purely a duration tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the version that matches your game version (Oldrim vs Special Edition) to avoid crashes.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
- Test the buff duration in-game after installing to confirm the mod is active.
