📋 About This Mod

There are a few mods that let the player perform all sort of actions and poses but I never found one that offered only what I needed with a

minimum of clutter. Therefore, I put this together for myself and here

it is. It adds a single lesser power that let you chose between sitting,

meditating and sleeping anywhere. Incidentally, maybe the most

interesting feature is the ability to actually conjure the sleep menu at

any location whatsoever (ground, bench, even beds why not) with

sleeping animation.

SOT SE Note: The book will be given to you now automatically when the mod is first installed.

The lesser power skillbook titled "How to Sit, Sleep and Meditate" and which can be found in the renting room of the

Sleeping Giant in Riverwood. Alternativelly, the power can be added

manually using the console command "player.addspell xx0012c7" where xx

is the mod load order.

as of 5. 0 you can also hold down caps lock for 3 seconds to invoke the menu. More reliable than the lesser power.

-Sitting regenerate stamina quickly.

-Meditating regenerate magicka quickly.

-Sleeping (Laying down) prompts the sleep menu enabling one to get rested (as required by most basic need mod)

Note: All animations can be interrupted by jumping once (which would play the

normal exit animation), or by jumping frenetically to break the

animation and exit even faster. Being hit will interrupt most

animations. In some rare occasion, the exit animation does not play and

the player gets up almost instantly, but without further consequences.

Should work with anything. No vanilla form were edited.
