Few improvements could be made. 1) Save scumming not solved, still exists. You can just exit-save whenever you want. Exit save will not be removed and can be loaded after PC death. 2) Sometimes after death, it freezes with black screen and main menu never being loaded 3) Sleep save scumming also exists. There's like tons of beds in skyrim, and you can sleep/save whenever you want.
What can i do if i want this and Autosave? I try to combine this with "Minimalistic AutoSave Mod", but is seems like that autosave is re-enabling the quicksave and save options. I need some auto save because my game can randomly crash, bu i need something that stops me from quicksaving (also by hotkey)...
Mmmh, sleep to level up sometimes attempts too many saves, resulting in no save at all. The mod instructs me to report this. I guess potentially because of Skyrim Souls RE? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27859?tab=description.
Edit: Yep, you have to make sure that certain menus are paused for saving I guess. I got some weird shenanigans involving CTDs on sleep / level up. I think its because I use 3 mods in tandem: The Frozen North (or CC Survival Mode I guess), Hardcore Save Overhaul and Skyrim Souls RE... What happens is that I can only level up through sleeping, and when I wake up, the game wants me to level up, while saving, while keeping menus unpaused or smt. IDK, weird **** :D.
I'll update for Skyrim Souls RE compatibility sometime soon. It's honestly frustrating that it's required in the first place, the old version of Skyrim Souls for LE had native handling of the wait function so that it behaved exactly as it did with paused menus, but with RE you have to run a while loop constantly checking if a menu's up for the same functionality.
Well, if you pause time in the level up menu and the stats screen in the Skyrim Souls ini, it will work - so not a big deal. Maybe write it down somewhere. You don't have to go out of your way and make a patch :P
Developer of Skyrim Souls RE here. There was a bug that caused the timescale to go haywire when using sleep to level up, which could've caused your CTDs. It has been fixed in the latest version I uploaded a few days ago, make sure to update.

Unfortunately my hands are tied here. Pausing the wait function is one of the things I dislike about the LE version. The problem is, it pauses every single running script that happens to call this function while you have a menu open, which can cause script lag and maybe even break things. So I basically had to choose what to break. Decided to let them run, as I expect wait to be used much more frequently by non-UI related things. (and it's easier to narrow down this way)
Understandable, I wasn't intending to throw shade on you or anything. Just speaking from the perspective of a forgetful mod author who gets bug reports due to incompatibility. I'm actually a user of your mod now though, so going forwards there shouldn't be any more of that.
When i sleep, or should i say "wait" in bed i don't get the level up windows, i hear the sound. Then if i go to the skills trough "tween" menu i will get that level up / magic, stamina, health popup, which i didn't get before. I wonder can we get that levelup window come after sleeping somehow. I remember i did get that in first level up, but after that none.
I'm having a problem where whenever I use the lucky coin and enable hardcore saving, I am no longer able to level up. If I wait to use the lucky coin and just keep it in my inventory, I can level up normally
I'm wondering is there risk of corrupting save, since it overwrites the save? Or is it only the save if you quit and save? Using this mod makes game so good, you prepare for simplest trips and be always scared :D Love it!
Thank for replying. Do you have any issues with sleep to level up? I'm currently having problem, where i can hear the sound what comes from level up but i can't see the level up window when i wake up. Although, it can be anything at this point, since i have quite large load order.
Awesome mod! Really needed something like this. Works fine with the exception that I can still save using the menu 'Save' button.. Probably a mistake on my end but not sure where. Checked for incompatible mods, conflicts (which are none) and tried an existing save/new save, can still save. Anyone else with this issue? Could it also be because of the AE update?
I was so exited when i saw this, installed and tested in .640. Works like it should, i checked the tavern and after i remembered do new bashed patch, i could see the drinks there as well. This is game changer!
Love the mod, just wanted to leave a heads up for others using a death mod. I'm using this with "Respawn - Death Overhaul" and the save button does stay greyed out after you die. Everything else works fine though so if you use similar mods my suggestion would be to grab the optional file from this mod to remove the save button completely https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/28334
So I have my game set to level up only when sleeping. Survival Mode. This mod conflicts with that and closes the skill screen too fast for me to level up. Is it possible to register the save BEFORE my character goes to sleep?
I actually was able to patch the mod so that it works with Survival Mode. The script will now properly wait for you to level up before saving. I'll reach out to the author and see if they want to include it as an optional file, if not I could always post it on its own.

"Sleeping
Saves the game as normal, creating one new save for each time you sleep."
You can double check by the number of the save. I was up to 600 or so my last playthrough.
Works fine with the exception that I can still save using the menu 'Save' button.. Probably a mistake on my end but not sure where.
