✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 258 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads
- ESL-flagged so it won't eat your plugin limit
- Gives you two timescale options to match your preferred day length
⚠️ Cons
- Only offers two presets—no custom timescale slider for fine-tuning
- Fast travel speed adjustment is optional but not detailed, so you might need to test it
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter timescale or fast travel, so check your load order
For Skyrim players who want a more realistic day-night cycle without fiddling with console commands. If you're tired of the default 1:20 timescale and want days to last longer, this is a simple drop-in solution. Skip if you prefer the vanilla pace or want full control over timescale values.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is ESL-flagged, it won't count toward your 255 plugin limit, but make sure your mod manager supports ESLs (most do).
- If you use other mods that change timescale or fast travel, place this mod after them in your load order to ensure its settings apply.
- Test the fast travel speed adjustment in-game—if it feels too fast or slow, you can disable that optional file.
