Pass The Time



This mod adds a 'Pass the Time' lesser power to your character which provides an alternative waiting feature that allows you to be a little more productive than just standing around with the game's normal Wait feature.

'Waiting' using Pass The Time fades the screen out to black and fades it back in and, at random, chooses whether your character did anything productive while waiting (like training their skills or doing small jobs/favors) or did nothing worthwhile at all.

*This mod does not add active training, studying, or jobs. It is not meant to fully replace mods that do so but instead seeks to allow the player to roleplay training/studying/working jobs in a simple, nonintrusive manner.

Waiting for 1-4 hours has a 2/5 chance of being productive.
Waiting for 5-8 hours has a 2/4 chance of being productive.


*If productive, there is a 1/2 chance between training skills or doing small jobs/favors.
*Jobs/Favors can only happen in towns or cities, thus chances of being productive are reduced in the wilderness.
*The maximum number of hours allowed per wait is 8 hours.
*Waiting using Pass The Time does not fast-forward the weather and NPC locations, unlike the normal Wait feature.
*The chances of being productive are editable Int properties. [The higher the value, the lower the chances.]

The experience received from training scales with each individual skill level.

*Experience received range from 0-15 per skill, then multiplied by skill level, and then divided by the respective Skill Use Mult value of that skill.
*All skills are affected by training but the amount of experience gained vary per skill.
*The maximum experience that can be received is an editable Int property. [Default: 15]

The rewards received from doing small jobs/favors range from minor health, magicka, or stamina potions, iron or steel ingots, to gold (septims).

*Total value of rewards range from around 15 to 50 septims if you waited for 1-4 hours and 15 to 80 septims if you waited for 5-8 hours.

Pass The Time unfortunately cannot be used while sitting down as it is a Lesser Power.
Pass The Time cannot be used in combat.
Pass The Time has a 7-second cooldown.

*Author's Note: I made this mod because I didn't like how unproductive normal waiting was and I didn't want to have to choose from various mods that add activities that pass the time.

*Compatibility: This mod does not edit or affect any vanilla or original game records and should be compatible with virtually any mod. There may be an 'incompatibility' regarding the mod's fade transition with some ENBs that do not work well with imagespace modifiers. This does not affect the mod's main function, though.

*Additional:
- This mod contains two scripts; one for adding the lesser power to the player character which then ends the quest and never runs again, and one that runs each time Pass The Time is used and ends after it is used.
- The fade transition is done using an imagespace modifier. Like I mentioned above, I heard that some ENBs do not play well with imagespace modifiers. This does not break the mod but the fade transition may not look as I intended. Let me know if it looks weird.
