📋 About This Mod
NOTE: Requires Dynamic Timescale 1. 0 or above.
When in menu mode (dialogue, looting, pipboy, gambling, etc.) time will pass in realtime (as opposed to being frozen).
If like me you spend alot of time talking to NPCs, hacking terminals, looting stuff, playing cards or gambling at the casinos, then this mod should make that all the more apparent. (\"Wasn\'t it daytime when we entered the casino? And why am I starving?\")
::OTHER ADDONS FOR DTS::.
More Realistic Rates for DTS: Adjusts dehydration, starvation and sleep deprivation/restoration rates for a more realistic feel.

Realtime Menus for DTS makes time pass in real-time while you're in menus like dialogue, looting, Pip-Boy, and gambling, instead of freezing the game world.

✨ Key Features
Time passes in real-time during menu mode (dialogue, looting, pipboy, gambling, etc.)
Contrasts with the default behavior where time is frozen in menus
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a fresh layer of tension—looting becomes a risk when the wasteland keeps moving
- Community-approved with 219 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, so it's proven
- Simple concept that changes how you approach menus, making every second count
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010—likely outdated for modern game versions or mod setups
- May break with other mods that alter menu behavior or game time
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 3 players who want a more hardcore, immersive experience where pausing the game isn't an option. If you're a roleplayer who hates the game freezing during dialogue or looting, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the safety of paused menus or want a more modern, maintained mod.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check if your mod manager (like FOMM) is set to handle .esp files correctly, as this is a plugin mod.
- Test the mod early in a save to see if it conflicts with any UI or menu overhaul mods you use.
- Since it's from 2010, consider using a mod like FOSE or the GOG version to ensure compatibility with your game.
