📋 About This Mod
Configurable wait time for the Sleep/Wait menu for Nordic UI. Set the HoursMaximum to whatever you desire. Default is set to 48 hours.
To change the time, go into your Data\Interface folder and there is a file called sleepwaitmenu.cfg. This file contains the configuration for changing the HoursMaximum wait length. This file MUST exist, and it MUST contain at least one byte of character. If you are going to remove this file, remove the .cfg along with the .swf file.
This can also be changed while playing by alt-tabbing and adjusting the .cfg file. Just make your adjustment to the HoursMaximum, save the .cfg, then alt-tab back in-game, close and reopen the Sleep/Wait menu to update the changes.
Here is the default config setting:
HoursMaximum=48 <--change this to reflect your desired Sleep/Wait time maximum.
I've tested it up 3000 hours with no issue but I wouldn't go past 744 hours (31 in-game days). That is all you need to do cell resets. However, it's your game so you can do whatever you like.
Installation:
Mod manager of your choice. Make sure this mod overrides Nordic UI - Interface Overhaul (SleepWaitMenu.swf).
If you're installing manually, extract the interface folder into your Skyrim/Data folder.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,460 endorsements and over 612k downloads.
- Tiny mod that does exactly one thing—no bloat, just a configurable wait limit.
- Last updated in 2022, so it's stable and unlikely to break your game.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Nordic UI as a base—won't work without it.
- No detailed instructions beyond setting HoursMaximum, so you'll need to know your way around INI files.
- Only affects the wait menu—if you wanted more UI tweaks, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who use Nordic UI and find the default 24-hour wait limit too restrictive. If you're a completionist who likes to fast-forward time for shops or respawns, this lets you set a custom cap. Skip if you don't use Nordic UI or if you're fine with the vanilla wait system.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Open the INI file and change HoursMaximum to your preferred number—try 48 for two in-game days.
- Make sure Nordic UI is installed first, or this mod won't have anything to modify.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file overwrites to avoid conflicts.
