📋 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)
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.
