📋 About This Mod
Reduces popup delay for all ingame tooltips from 450ms to 10ms. Made by request from fellow witchers on CDPR forums.
Compatibility:
Mod contains modified componentslib.redswf so it will conflict with any mod which changes the same file (as far as I know no such mod exists so this one should be compatible with everything).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 1,777 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads show this mod is a proven fix.
- Zero hassle – just install and tooltips respond instantly, no settings to fiddle with.
- Tiny footprint – doesn't touch gameplay or visuals, just the UI responsiveness.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 – might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other UI mods.
- No documentation on compatibility with popular UI overhauls like SkyUI – you'll have to test it yourself.
- Doesn't add any new features – if you want tooltip customization, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who are tired of the sluggish tooltip delay when looting or managing inventory. If you use a UI overhaul, you might want to check compatibility first, but for vanilla or light UI setups, this is a must-have.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (Vortex or MO2) and place it after any UI overhauls in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- If you use SkyUI, test tooltips in-game – if they still lag, try moving Instant Tooltips lower in the load order.
- Since it's a simple .esp, you can safely remove it anytime without breaking saves.
