📋 About This Mod
A very simple mod, it allows in-game time to pass while you're playing one of the game's gambling mini-games (blackjack, slots, caravan, roulette).
You can use the config file to set how many real world seconds must pass before one in-game minute will go by. By default, 4 real world seconds equal 1 in-game minute.
Hardcore needs will increase if you have hardcore mode enabled so keep that in mind. A small clock has been added to gambling menus so you know how much time has passed.
This mod doesn't alter the game engine's timescale, avoiding any issues.
Since this is a script runner, if you have any questions about how it works, you can simply open the text file and read it.
This mod requires the following plugins:
-JohnnyGuitar NVSE
-JIP LN NVSE
