📋 About This Mod
Description
This is a very simple mod that forces you to sleep in order to receive the skill experience you've gained. As you level up your skills normally any experience is not added to your character but rather saved up, and later when you sleep you will receive all that saved experience. Saved experience is stored in the SKSE co-save and will not be lost if you decide to not sleep before you save and quit.
