📋 About This Mod
----------------------------
Description
----------------------------
This is basically my same mod here (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50349/) but for Skyrim SE.
This mod basically changes most(if not all) of the second person messages and texts in game and makes them 1st person.
Now more in-depth, This mod is basically the little brother of TTYM (Think to Yourself Messages) as this takes a lot of influences from it and expands upon it, I was a bit disappointed to see TTYM just be abandoned like that so Ive decided to make my own mod like that and expand majorly upon it, the prime importance of this mod is immersion for the Main game, its DLCS and other peoples mods.
The mod currently includes the main game, its DLCs and Frostfall/Campfire (again expanded from TTYM module) and many other mods. Any mods that people request which have second person messages and can be made to 1st person and more immersive I will be happy to add to the to-do list and make it in due time.
Like TTYM, It will do more than change "you" to "i", The messages are constructed to seem more natural and immersive.
If you have any requests for mods that you want to be YOT'd leave a comment in the posts section or if there's any bugs or problems leave them there. Any comments in general are also welcome.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT INEED
----------------------------
The Ineed module is not fully first person due to alot of the mod being in scripts which i can not edit, I have changed what i can but alot of it is currently inaccessible for myself. Sorry
tl;dr iNeed needs to have an editable script in order to change the second-person notifications.
