Q: Will this mod work with font replacers?
Q: Will this mod work with X UI overhaul?
A: In testing with mods such as nordic UI, and SkyUI there has been no reported issues. Unless a mod directly changes the functionality of the wait menu it should work with any UI mod.
Q: Can I install this on an existing save?
Q: Is Skyrim souls compatible?
A: Yes, but if you use a gamepad you will need to set "bEnableMovementInMenus" to false in its ini. If you would like to keep it enabled, you will need to set "bActivateLeftStick" inside my ini to false.
Q: Is Time Format Changer compatible?
A: Yes and no. The mod on its own is compatible, but you will not see any changes inside of my menu. Only other menus that are using the default time string will be affected. You can customize the date string shown in my menu via the ini file coming with my mod.
Q: Is Widescreen suported?
A: Yes, all aspect ratios should be compatible out of the box. If you found one that is not working, please open a bug report.
Q: Is there an option to make waiting faster?
A: No, there is not an option to make waiting faster. If you want to speed up the waitin time use SSE Engine Fixes
If I will add an option directly to the mod is something I might do in the future.
Q: Is VR suported?
A: Depends. I do not have VR to test it. But I try my best to have VR supported. If something does not work in VR, please consider open a bug report. This mod is using an esl, which VR cannot load. EIther you convert the esl to a normal esp or you download the mod listed in the requirenment section.
