📋 About This Mod
This mod has time pass in front of you. You can use the MCM menu to control how fast or slow you want the time to pass. It can be used as a replacement or work in tandem with the normal wait mechanic.
MCM Menu Options:
Dynamic Wait Time Scale:
This changes how fast time passes while holding the Dynamic Wait Key. Default: 1200 Recommended: Less than 2500
Some playing around with slider will be good to find a speed you like.
Dynamic Wait Key:
Pretty straight forward, bind this key to what you want. Default is Y.
Wait Ramp Up:
With this option enabled, the speed of time passing will get incrementally faster the longer you hold the key. The speed is based on the Dynamic Wait Time Scale option.
Speed Up NPCs:
This feature requires ConsoleUtil. It will apply a SGTM 2 command to give the appearance of NPCs moving faster. Careful using this feature as it may cause things to fly around or could crash your game.Hour Notifications:
This enables the built-in hour notifications to show every hour in the top. Not recommended as the notifications tend to back up, but included anyway.Twelve Hour Notifications:
This is for the option above, it enables 12 hour clock notifications instead of 24 hour.After Dynamic Wait Time Scale:
This enables the Normal Time Scale slider below. If your Dynamic Wait gets stuck on then use this option.
Normal Time Scale:
Set this to the Time Scale you normally play with. If you use a mod like Dynamic Time Scale then this mod will temporarily overwrite the time scale until the other mod changes it again. No permanent changes.I recommend using an on-screen time mod such as A Matter of Time with this mod
