Happy modding!
Since I don't find myself playing Special Edition at all and just playing the original Skyrim I have decided to abandon this as it really isn't worth spending my time supporting this. I may decide to pick up work on this again at a later time, but for the time being don't expect any support.
What Is This?
This is a simple mod to configure auto saving of your game at specific intervals of time. Since SKSE/SkyUI aren't available yet to allow for an MCM menu this is configured using a power that is automatically added when you install this mod. Simply use the power and menu prompts will allow you to configure how often to save and how many auto saves to keep.
Permission
You can feel free to make translations, upload this to other sites, and generally share this with anyone you like without asking for permission so long as you don't try and make any money from this mod. I only ask that you make sure to give me credit for this work.
