📋 About This Mod

This is a SKSE64 plugin which keeps game going in real-time while all kinds of menus are open. Opening menu like inventory won't pause game like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, makes you enjoy a smoother game experience. I created this mod for immersion instead of difficulty, so this plugin is highly customizable, you can toggle on/off every menu's unpause behavior via INI file or console command. This mod isn't a simple port from oldrim,I rebuilt this mod compeletely to make it more stable,hope your guys can enjoy the moment while reading book in Breezehome with time going by.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,264 endorsements and over 129k downloads.
- Real-time menus add a whole new level of immersion and challenge.
- Full control over which menus pause and which don't—tweak it to your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Requires SKSE64, which adds an extra setup step and potential version conflicts.
- Real-time menus can be brutal—opening your inventory in combat might get you killed.
For immersive players who want to feel the pressure of every menu decision, especially those who enjoy survival or hardcore playthroughs. Also great for modders who want to customize their menu behavior. Skip if you prefer a relaxed, paused-menu experience or if you're not comfortable with SKSE64 setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the correct version of SKSE64 for your Skyrim SE build, as mismatches can cause crashes.
- Use the console command 'sseSouls' to quickly toggle the mod on/off without editing the INI.
- Test with a save before your main playthrough to see how real-time menus affect combat and inventory management.
