📋 About This Mod
Simply changes messages displayed by Item Equip Restrictor in first-person in a more immersive way, as in the likes of Your Own Thoughts mod.
For instance
Instead of You lack the necessary skill to cast this spell the message displayed is now I am not skilled enough at this school of magic to cast this spell properly.
And so on, for now it looks like:
{item} is not fit for me to equip it.
I am not able to cast this spell.
I am not skilled enough to equip {item}.
I am not skilled enough at this school of magic to cast this spell properly.
I need to train more to equip {item}.
I need to train more to cast this spell.
I want to thanks po3 for the mod, I requested in one day on discord and on the next he drops this.
I will use it on a mod I've been wanting to tweak for a long time, spoiler in the images.
