📋 About This Mod
Additional Info:
Level-Up Reminders:
After the first warning upon earning enough XP, you will be reminded to sleep to level up every 5 minutes.
This can be configured by editing the "ReminderMessageTimer" INI settings (keep in mind that it counts in seconds).
Level-Up Messages:
After sleeping right before levelling up, you will receive a text-box message concerning your dreams.
For levelling up from LVL2-99, the same generic message will play unless you change it in the INI settings.
(this mod does not change the level cap, it merely supports mods that do. If you want to go past LVL99 and still get messages, you can copy+paste the default messages and change the numbers to reflect the levels. Otherwise, you'll get a blank message, but it's no big deal.)
Since you are free to make modifications for this mod (so long as you credit me as the original author), you can release your own custom INI settings for level-up messages.
Levelling Up After Sleeping:
You can only level up once from sleeping; if you have multiple levels stacked up, you will need to sleep additional times.
Legal Matters and Making Custom Versions Of This Mod:
I would've included the default level-up messages from Oblivion, but I was afraid that it would be copyright-infringement.
If you try to do something like that and publish it publicly on Nexus, make sure it's legal to do so.
You don't have to ask me for permission to release modified versions of this mod, so long as you credit me as the original author.
Finally, if you make a custom level-up message INI for this mod, if you'd like for me to include it under this mod page, feel free to ask me to include it either as a misc file or as a mention in the description. I'd love to see what you create :D
