Author notes
Feel free to use this mod's assets in making your own, as long as you don't hide you mod(s) behind a paywall. Mention in the credits as usual, no need to ask for permission beforehand.
Translations are welcome as long as they depend on the main plugin. To fully translate the mod you would need to modify the script attached to the journal (contains debug notifications), so I'm adjusting the usual plugin only rules for this one. Dependency is required though. No need to ask for permission beforehand.
Do not reupload this mod anywhere.
If you have made a bugfix/patch/improvement of some sort for this mod, let me know.
File credits
Huge thanks to Jaiim for Immersive Sleep to Save. Fantastic scripts, and very useful comments. Absolutely essential to this mod's development! Scripts regarding saving are modified from theirs.
Also big thanks to berticus0001 for Berts Bits And Bobs Resources For Modders. Their scripted leveled lists helped me realise what was going wrong, and how to fix it.
Also a big thank you to Darkfox127 for all their useful and detailed videos, and their time passing script!
And thank you, anyone taking time to explain scripting in detail on the internet. Chances are some doofus would be reading your thread years after.
As I was figuring this out, I looked at some of my previous work, where I used or was inspired by: Sit and Read Script by Jim Farris - in Tiny Honeyside, MannyGT's Realistic Eyeglasses and Higeyosi's Basket Backpack - in Simply Gay Letters, johnwayne1930's Alcohol Drunk Effect and Darkfox127's time passing script - in ADER.
For Enderal version, special thanks goes to ElminsterAU and the xEdit Team for EnderalSEEdit.
Additionally HUGE thanks to tommas666: they improved the journaling script (2.2.1). By adding a better way of referencing the player throughout the script and improving the time passing function.

Changelogs
Version 2.2
When porting the esl flagged version, I forgot to change the journal's effect: it is now corrected, and saving via journal cures 5% Arcane Fever.
2.1.1 script update is included.
Version 2.1.1
Script optimization by tommas666: better way of referencing the player throughout the script and improved time passing function.
Version 2.0
Light plugin from now on. So it is best not to update on an existing savefile, it is NOT recommended.
Bug with accidental saving fixed.
In this version of the mod it will only start limiting your saving AFTER the first time you go to sleep. So no need to worry about redoing tutorials.
Version 1.2
First Enderal SE adapted version.
Changes: removed LL and paper script (no more adding writing supplies to containers).
Also: fixed utility cell properties, as they had an error due to Enderal's changes to Skyrim.esm.
Also also: changed journal buff to slightly reduce Arcane Fever (instead of Magicka and Stamina buff).
Since finding writing supplies may prove difficult, this seems fair. If not, you can easily change that in Enderal version of xEdit. It's a potion record, you'll see it right away.
Version 1.1
Messages overwrite is an old thing I've made for my own peace of mind. Simply changes "Autosave" messages to first person comments about writing in a journal. It does not require the main file.
In this version I've tweaked the phrasing a little.
Version 1.0
Made via request, Sleep only version does exactly what it sounds like. Restricts saving to sleeping. Makes full saves. No journaling involved. No changes necessary for Enderal version, it would appear.
It restricts saving to a. Sleeping, b. Writing in a journal (spawns in your inventory the first time you sleep, stays with you, as it is a quest item).
Writing requires 1 paper roll, 1 inkwell, 1 quill. Quill remains in your inventory after you save, the paper roll and inkwell are consumed.
Differences for Enderal version: a. No quest adding paper, b. Saving via journal restores your Arcane Fever by 5 (a proper potion of Ambrosia restores 20).
