Save Restrictions is a gameplay-enhancing SKSE plugin that prevents the player from saving in certain locations based on difficulty.
It also allows you to use a custom keyword ``SavingBook`` on books to enable temporary saves. By default, the mod comes with a Keyword Item Distributor ini file that puts this keyword onto the "Book of the Dragonborn"
Reading this book then will enable saving no matter the difficulty and location for a set amount of times (can be changed in the config file)

The mod comes with a .toml file (you can open it with any text editor) and has the following settings:
Settings:
- iSaveNotificationVariant: default = 1.
Is used for the temporary save enable option. 0 means no notification, 1 means a notification message, 2 means a messagebox - bDisableSavesInCombat: default = true.
Disables saving while in combat no matter the difficulty. true = disable, false = allow saving in combat - sTemporarySaveMessageBox: default = "You can now save for {} seconds".
Text in said notification. The {} is important in there as it used as a "placeholder" to get the actual seconds. Important Note: you absolutely need to have your text within "". - fTemporarySaveEnableTime: default = 60.0.
Time a temporary save remains possible.
You can have a overwriting config file like this: saveRestrictions_custom.toml
Q: But why?
A: Because I wanted something like that to prevent myself from "save scumming" through harder dungeons for example.
Q: Can you change x?
A: I probably won't, mod is open source though.
Q: But I like to save everywhere!
A: Ok, then don't use this mod or set the difficulty to Novice.
Q: When I change the difficulty, I can still save!
A: It changes once you close the menu.
Q: Which game version can I use this mod with?
A: 1.6.1170+. Maybe other 1.6 versions, idk.
Q: Will you make it for other game versions?
A: No
Requirements:
- Address Library for SKSE Plugins
- Keyword Item Distributor (KID) only needed to add the SavingBook keyword to the Book of the Dragonborn

Compatibility:
technically incompatible with SSSO 3 and similar.
not really an incompatibility, but it prevents saves from that mod as well
