📋 About This Mod
An SKSE plugin that lets you lie down in beds before sleeping. Followers can also use nearby beds and spouses can share yours.
Description
Sleep in Bed is a lightweight, script-free SKSE plugin that overhauls how sleeping in beds works for the player and followers. Activate a bed to lie down, then press the Wait key (or a configurable custom key) to open the sleep menu, or have it open automatically. Followers can also find nearby beds and sleep alongside you.
This plugin changes how beds work for the player:
-
[]Lie down in beds before sleeping, then open the sleep menu with the Wait key, a custom key, or automatically[/]
[]Followers can use nearby beds, and spouses can share double beds[/]
[]Optionally allow sleeping in beds owned by others [/]
The mod is configurable via SKSE Menu Framework or an . INI file.
