Event Limiter

Event Limiter

Event Limiter allows for the configurable limitation of the amount of events seen by the player each day, and in a row. This can help with storyline immersion or in multiplayer where time continues during events.

By default, events are limited to 4 per day, and 2 in a row. Exempt events will also contribute to the event limits by default.

Skipped events will be played the next time they will trigger, provided an event limit has not been reached. Hardcoded events (weddings) and PlayerKilled events won't be skipped and won't be counted as a seen event for the purposes of limiting events.

Exclusions to which events are affected can also be configured. If there's a cutscene you never want skipped this can be done by listing its id in the Exceptions config option. As of version 1. 2. 1,  event exceptions can optionally be excluded from contributing to event limits, similar to hardcoded events. Simply set ExemptEventsCountTowardsLimit to false in the config.

The mod supports Generic Mod Config Menu for changing event preferences as of version 1. 1. 0. Long exception lists will extend past the textbox in the menu but will be implemented properly. Square brackets and double quotation marks are not required when editing the exceptions in the config menu.

As of version 1. 2. 0, Content Patcher integration and an api has been added to allow Content Patcher content packs and SMAPI mods to add there own event limit exceptions, and allow SMAPI mods to access some mod data. More information is available in the README on Github.

As of version 1. 3. 2, event limiting can be paused and unpaused using a keybind. The default is the L key on the keyboard. When event limiting is paused, the mod will also not count any played events to the daily and in a row limits. Event limiting is also automatically unpaused when loading a different save file.

The mod does use Harmony, just FYI.
