- Full MCM control means you can tailor exactly which menus pause the game
⚠️ Cons

- Not for casual players—if you hate dying while checking your inventory, this will frustrate you
- No built-in presets; you'll need to configure each menu yourself in MCM

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have F4SE installed correctly and launch the game through f4se_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- Install MCM first, then Fallsouls, and activate the mod in your mod manager before starting the game.
- Start with all menus unpaused to get a feel, then selectively enable pause for menus you find too punishing.
