📋 About This Mod
A Matter of Time
Have you ever find yourself walking through a dungeon or sitting at the bar and asking yourself: How late is it? Will the sun shine outside or will I see the moons if I go outside? If so, this mod is for you!
Updating from version 1.x:
Users of the first version should do a clean reinstallation of the mod since nearly everything has changed. To do so, please follow these steps:
- Uninstall old version of the mod
- Load the game and make a full save (not a quick save)
- Quit the game and install the new version of the mod
- Load the game and make a full save
- Load the second save and play
Updating from version 2.x:
Just install the new version.
Under some circumstances one might have to create a save and load it again to get everything setup correctly (especially periodic display).

The purpose of the mod
The mod adds some widgets to the HUD which can display different time related informations:
- The current in game time can be displayed using a symbol and a textual representation
- The current in game date can be displayed using text.
- The real life time and date can be displayed using text.
The mod is highly configurable through the SkyUI Mod Configuration Menu.
Configuration
The configuration can be reached through the Mod Configuration Menu. It is splitted into three pages: General, Display and Control.
On the general page one can choose which widget to show and how it is displayed e.g. which symbol to use.
The second page (Display) controls the options related to the arrangement, scale and transparency of the widgets.
The third page (Control) lets you choose when and how the widgets are shown.
The last page (Settings) gives you the ability to save and load your settings so you can reuse them.
The control mode defines how the widget is displayed. Right now, there are four ways:
always: The widget is always shown as long as no menu is opened
timed: The widget is shown for a short time (configurable within the MCM option "Display Time") after you hit the configured hotkey
toggle: One uses the configured hotkey to display and hide the widget
periodically: Automatically shows the widget at configurable times like once an hour.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with every other mod. Especially, it is compatible with the Immersive HUD and Frostfall mod.

- Lightweight UI mod that won't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other UI mods.
