📋 About This Mod
Never quite sure when one quest started or another quest ends? Wonder no more, Skyrim Style Quest Notifications informs you when you start or finish a quest with a brief popup notification that you can place anywhere on the screen. This mod is plugin-less and does require MWSE, please make sure you have that installed. Default look and feel of the notification is styled after the Skyrim quest notifications, hence the name. Additional info can be found in the readme.
