About this mod Machine translation

Displays a message box to continue playback each time a saved game is loaded.

Official conversion of my eponymous Oldrim mod.

==Purpose==

Since the message box pauses the game, you can start loading your save and get a cup of tea without having to worry that your dragon clan might freeze solid or die fighting some randomly spawned bandits on your return. The mod also makes you instantly invincible to protect you from death by air arrows and similar.

==Significant differences from the Oldrim version==

  • The data plugin is an esp tagged ESL (ESPFE) so it doesn't use up regular load order slots.
  • The message box on new games no longer shows before the first loading screen.

==Compatibility==

For obvious reasons, not compatible with mods that unpause the game when the message box is open (such as SkyrimSouls, unless you change that mod's settings).

==Requirements==

Skyrim SE 1.5.3+ (Introducing ESL flags to SE)

==Configuration==

To adjust the invincibility duration, type the following into the console, replacing the desired invincibility time in seconds with 1.0:

Set GameLoadInvincibleTime to 1.0

Setting the time to 0 will disable the invincibility period.

If you prefer some variation, you can change the message text through SSEEdit without modifying the script.

==Known Issues==

If you have a lot of scripts, it may take some time before the mod has a chance to pause the game.

Official conversion of my Oldrim mod of the same name.

== Purpose ==

Since the message box pauses the game you can start loading your save and get a cup of tea without worrying that your Dragonborn might be frozen solid or have died fighting some randomly spawned bandits when you return. The mod also makes you invincible for a second to protect you against dying from mid-air arrows and similar.

== Notable differences from Oldrim version ==

  • Data plugin is an esp flagged as ESL (ESPFE) so it doesn't use up a regular load order slot.
  • No longer shows the message box on a new game so fast it opens before the first loading screen.

== Compatibility ==

For obvious reasons not compatible with mods that unpause the game while a message box is open (e.g. SkyrimSouls, unless you change that mod's settings).

== Requirements ==

Skyrim SE 1.5.3+ (introduced the ESL flag to SE)

== Configuration ==

To adjust the invincibility duration type the following into the console, replacing 1.0 with your desired invincibility time in seconds:

set GameLoadInvincibleTime to 1.0

Setting the time to 0 will disable the invincibility period.

You can change the message text through SSEEdit without modifying scripts if you prefer some variation.

== Known Issues ==

If you have a lot of scripts it might take a moment before the mod gets a chance to pause the game.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
