This mod requires skse and SkyUI.
The mod is compatible with all books, food, armors and weapons from all DLCs and mods.
For the crafting module, weapons and armors from mods will fall into the right category if the mods author has set the right keywords for the item, otherwise it will fall into the armor timing for armors or ammo timing for weapons.
Works with mods that change the timescale.
Recommended Mods for increased immersion:
– Frostfall
– iNeed / Realistic Needs and Diseases
– Hunterborn
– Skyrim – Enhanced Camera / Immersive First Person
– Immersive HUD
– Loot and Degradation
Q: I have installed the mod and now i can’t use the ESC menu, what can i do?
A: The ESC menu is actually the Journal menu so if you have the “block journal during combat” option active you won’t be able to use it when in combat, if you just updated and want to set the mod find somewhere safe and wait a bit to exit combat, now you can use the menu as normal, note that time will be calculated and forwarded when you close the menu, you can remove this using the MCM.
Q: What can i use to pause the game now that i have all options active?
A: The Tween menu opened with the TAB key, the Favorite menu opened pressing Q and the Console are safe for pausing the game, time never gets calculated in this menus.
Q: I only want the Block action during combat feature but not the time forward, what can i do?
A: You can activate the module you want and set the time multiplier to 0, this way time won’t pass but you’ll still have the block in combat function.
Q: I have installed XYZ armor/weapon mod, but when i craft the pieces, the time is not calculated correctly, why?
A: The mod uses item keywords to identify what kind of item you are crafting and if it doesn’t match it will default to armor timings in case of armor pieces or to ammo timings for weapons, there is no way for me to fix this so ask the mod author to include the correct keywords for each piece.
