📋 About This Mod
Descriptions:
One of the stupidest design bethesda ever did is set the opening of wait menu occupys a completely standalone button on gamepad, which caused the already scarcity gamepad buttons number getting even more tighter.
Some people would attempt to overcome the issue by remapping the wait button as combo buttons, while I provide a alternative method here: By redirecting the wait menu trigger into the tween menu.
With this mod installed, the wait button could now only be fired and trigger the wait menu when inside the opened tween menu, such design make the wait button an unused button outside the menu mode, so you can now had the wait button mapped the same as other mod added custom key, such as separate power attack key, dodge key, etc.
To Install:
Requirements:
-
[]SKSE for the correspond game version.
[
] Address Library for SKSE PluginsInstall the requirements, then install the mod itself with mod manager.
Compatibility:
Should compatible with everthings except skse plugin that hooked this place.
With this plugin installed, you are not able to waiting when in beast form(werewolf or vampire lord) since the tween menu could not be opend, you have to revert back to human first. The vanilla vampire lord already had a revert human form spell in vanilla while for werewolf I suggest you using another werewolf overhaul mod such as Growl which added ability to Initiative revert to human form.Known Issues:
