📋 About This Mod
In vanilla game (i.e. default time scale), nobody noticed your player (especially with a horse) takes 1 hour or 2 to move with fast-travel to a near location you can reach in almost 10 (in-game) minutes running to that place?
Looks like the global setting fFastTravelSpeedMult set to 1 was the cause: changing it to 4 makes fast-travelling timings much more on par with a "real run" to that location. I've been using this very basic mod-fix for 2 weeks and I can't see any bug or problem yet. It makes fast-travelling useful and with "realistic" timings, finally...
Now all journeys should take (almost) the same time they would take if you run/ride for real to that location without fast-travel.
Advantages of fast-travels: 1) less boring if you have to go back and forth the same locations, 2) it respawns your lost horse+follower at the arrival.
Please, don't start totally useless "I'm against fast-travelling!" flames in the comments.
This mod adjusts fast travel speed to match realistic timing based on the game's timescale, making fast travel take the same time as real travel. It's a small, popular utility for players who want more immersive travel mechanics.
