📋 About This Mod
This mod simulates pressing the Enter-key while loading the game in order to automatically skip splash screens (except for the very first one, which is hardcoded in the game) and go straight to the start menu.
Pressing "E" will simulate clicking Continue & Confirm. If there are mods missing from the load order you'll have to press "E" one more time to confirm.
Pressing the Spacebar will open the Save menu. You can navigate up/down with "W" and "S". Press E to simulate pressing Enter & Confirm to load the save.
Requires NVSE and JIP NVSE Plugin. Without these it won't work.
