Be sure to load this mod's plugin LOWER than those of the following mods: Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP) Weapons, Armor, Clothing, and Clutter Fixes (WACCF) MorrowLoot Ultimate (MLU) [addon patch for MLU's messages available here] Any magic, combat, Standing Stone blessing, and perk overhaul mods you may have installed.
Feel free to let me know if you notice any typos/mistakes in my messages, or any vanilla ones I missed. More than one set of eyes is always best.
Q: Is this mod compatible with [insert any "load screen replacer" mod]? A: There's a 99% chance the answer is "yes." If you're concerned with the other 1%, read this whole sticky comment.
The first message seen during a load screen will always be the one written in the record entry of the background image (vanilla or mod) that is shown. All the following messages are pulled from your entire modlist (including vanilla). So if your chosen image replacer contains copies of the original vanilla messages, you will see one of those messages first, before my edited ones cycle in. My edited vanilla messages should typically be seen most often, since it's likely there are more of them than those added/copied by the background replacer.
Q: Is this mod compatible withLore-Based Loading Screens? A: Yes. It works with any mods adding new load screens to your game.
And any mods adding new load screens to your game will also work with whatever background image replacer you have installed, so you don't need to go ask those mod authors the same question.
Q: Does this mod have any incompatibilities? A: Yes—any mod doing the same thing (rewriting vanilla load screen messages).
Most of these mods aren't normally installed by immersion-seekers, so you probably aren't using them.
Randomized Load Screens overwrites vanilla load screen records in order to change their conditions. This is the same record that holds the message text, so if you load this mod after mine, my changes will be reverted back to pure vanilla. As such, this mod is not compatible without a patch.
Q: What if I can't see vanilla messages at all, and I don't know how I did this to myself? A: You must have installed something that disables vanilla load screens and/or messages Nordic UI - Interface Overhaul
There is an option for load screen UI in the FOMOD; I recommend selecting "None." The other options will either disable all images (black screen), all text (image only), or both. Nordic UI is still compatible with my mod, as you can see from my screenshots. If you are interested in my Nordic UI load screen interface, I've listed all the mods I used under the 2nd FAQ (above).
DO NOT INSTALL THE "VanillaLSRemover" PLUGIN. That should be self-explanatory, but mistakes happen. This mod is still compatible, as you can see from my screenshots. All the other options from its FOMOD are safe to choose (including the 100% replacer/priority option, which is how most load screen replacers work).
These mods completely disable vanilla load screens/text in one way or another. Some of them do not properly detail in their description what users are installing. Such as they are, these mods are not compatible with mine, and likely not any other mod adding/editing load screens.
Me: Getting immersed in the world Skyrim: "Once you've helped someone, they will like you"
Thanks for making this mod, the vanilla loading screens were just messages from the developers to the player, now they feel like a part of the world, something you may have overheard, read about, or been told by someone in Tamriel. These load screen messages have definitely earned the title of "Immersive"
"You aren't going to learn what it's like to kill with fire if your opponent isn't something that screams."
<*blink*>
Well, this mod just earned itself a permanent slot in my load order.
As an occasionally insufferable grammatical pedant myself, it irritates me immensely when game studios with multimillion-dollar market caps can't be arsed to offer an unpaid internship to an English undergrad to go through their writing for simple blunders of exactly the sort this mod corrects.
Haha! It was rather fun challenging myself to translate all these technical instructions into more dramatic and immersive prose. It took me the longest time to come up with something to replace "A readied arrow will be put back into its quiver if the bow is sheathed." And indeed, I would have happily done grammar checks for BGS for free back in college. They have no excuse!
Well, I hope your loading times will be a bit less aggravating now, and do report back if you catch any of my own typos. I'm sure there must be some in there that slipped the net.
Hi Zireael1251, thanks for mentioning this mod in the comments section of the "Lore based loading screen"-mod. It led me to this page and discovering some other mods such as "The Elders Scrolls Legends" loading screens, together with its add-on. Instead of one plugin for loading screens, I have six now.
It's incredible how details like this are often overlooked. The vanilla load screen messages outright detract from the feeling of authenticity of Skyrim's world.
"Combat-based magic only improves when used against valid opponents."
If Skyrim were a text-based RPG, I'd have a hard time not falling asleep.

Thanks for the Non-USSEP version!
