I'm REALLY bad with numbers so this is just to check something:

Default time in Skyrim is 20 minutes in game for every minute IRL, yes?

So if I change the timescale to 5, that's 5 game minutes for every minute IRL...?

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Making the timescale a smaller number definitely makes time pass slower in the game, if that's what you're after.

I think I have mine set to 5 as well, and I like it. I played through a couple of times with it set at 2 but while I liked having a more "normal" feel to the passage of time, it also made me acutely aware of the small size of the game world. I was just getting too much done in the course of one day, lol, because it didn't take any time to get from one place to another. Setting it at 5 seems like a nice compromise.

Thank you.

Note, any mods that you get that affect Time Scale will be thrown off by this change and it will cause weirdness in the game.

Yeah, thank you.
The only one I know of that I have is a food and drink one but that comes with it's own controller which you can disable anyway so I should be alright.

I thought default was 1 real minute= 1 game hour? or was that in previous games lol
