✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,801 endorsements) — this is a must-have for anyone who hates staring at the wait screen.
- Zero performance impact — it's a DLL tweak, not a script-heavy mod, so it won't bloat your save.
- Customizable delay — you can set it to exactly how fast you want the hours to fly by.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches, so check before installing.
- Requires SKSE64 — if you don't have it, this mod won't work at all.
- Only affects the Sleep/Wait menu — if you wanted faster loading screens or other time-savers, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who are tired of the slow hour-by-hour wait animation and want a snappier experience. Perfect for survival-mode players who need to wait frequently. Skip if you're on console or don't use SKSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE64 installed and launch the game through SKSE, not the default launcher, or the mod won't activate.
- Open the INI file in the mod's folder to adjust the delay — set it to 0 for instant waiting, but be careful not to break the game's pacing.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other DLL mods.
