Immersive Load Screen Message Overhaul

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I was tired of Skyrim's vanilla load screens failing to enhance my immersion by giving me instructions on buttons to press, stats to increase, and ways to earn EXP. It was also annoying to receive these tutorial-type tips when they didn't even apply to my game, because mods.

I searched, but found no mods that quite accomplished what I was looking for. There are mods that add new load screens, and others that overwrite small (rarely large) portions of the messages, but none fulfilled my standards for grammar as a professional (I am admittedly hard to please) as well as my desire for immersion. Pretty much all mods titled "load screen replacer" are talking about images.
