This is a SKSE plugin that opening menu will not pause game like dark souls and bloodborne,give you a smoother game experience. Gone are the days when you opened menu to eat one thousand donuts while you were dying.
All menus won't pause game except two fullscreen menus(MapMenu and StatsMenu). This plugin takes effect on custom menu like UIExtensions too. You can open INI file to config every menu.
This plugin also exports a console command( or ) to change settings at runtime,for example,"sssv Console 0" will set Console to paused state. You had better not change menu configuration through Console when corresponding menu is open except console menu.
This plugin is a redone version of Zebrina's SkySouls - Unpaused Game Menus. I have tracked it since it just got released,and there are a few annoying bugs that did't get fixed for some time,so I redone the whole work and fixed every bug I met.
