Summary
A brand-newSkyrimmod has given the game’s wait menu a massive overhaul, inspired by CD Projekt Red titlesThe Witcher 3andCyberpunk 2077. This particularSkyrimmod gives some much-needed flair to a neglected part of the game.
TheSkyrimmodding community continues to go from strength to strength. As the years pass, more advancements are made that allow players to makeSkyrimlook like it was a 2024 release. Just recently, one gamer even developed aSkyrimmod that allows Twitch chat to speak for NPCs, which had predictably hilarious results. The great thing aboutSkyrimmodding is how personal it is for every gamer. Some will spend days curating their perfectSkyrimmodlist, resulting in a load order with thousands of plugins, while others will pick up a few quality-of-life mods to improve the experience a little. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, which is why it’s a big part of the reasonSkyrimremains so active, 13 years after its original launch.
The mod itself is available onNexus Mods, titled “Modern Wait Menu” by user Fallen01135. Footage of theSkyrimmodin action was posted online by YouTuber ARCTIC, and it looks slick. The previous wait menu inSkyrimis gone, replaced by a more modern wheel UI, taking inspiration from CD Projekt Red titlesThe Witcher 3andCyberpunk 2077. Now, players can see the exact time of day they’re waiting until, as well as the weather at the time. It’s a lot more intuitive and helps makeSkyrimfeel like a much more modern title.
Skyrim Mod Overhauls the Wait Menu
According to the mod’s Nexus Mods page, “Modern Wait Menu” has been designed with compatibility in mind. This means that it shouldn’t conflict with otherSkyrimUI mods or font replacers, ensuring players don’t have to choose between this and another mod. Because of this, it instantly becomes one of the must-havequality-of-lifeSkyrimmodsfor anyone playing the game in 2024 and beyond.
With what is now possible thanks to mods inSkyrim,The Elder Scrolls 6has an extremely tough act to follow. Luckily, Bethesda has form for hiring exceptional modders in years gone by, and hopefully this shines through with its upcomingElder Scrollssequel. WithStarfieldnow released, hopefully the studio can be a little more forthcoming about what players can expect fromThe Elder Scrolls 6, with no release window currently given for the game. The good news is thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is in a playable statealready, so hopefully gamers' patience with the sequel will soon pay off.
