Hi all, happy New Year to you, :foodndrink: Hic. Can anyone tell me if there is a mod that extends the day length, more so the daylight period rather than the nightime period. If not, is there a way I can make the adjustment myself using the console or making alterations to the ini. file. Not that I really know too much about using the console or altering the ini. file, so a mod would be the best idea in my case. Thanks for reading. Now I'm afraid I've got to leave as I have an urgent appointment with a crate of beer and various bottles of spirit :thumbsup: .

Haven't tried this but it seems to be what you're looking for:

Hope it helps.

You can use the console.

set timescale to xx

30 is default where 1 realtime minute = 30 game minutes. set timescale to 1 means the game runs in 1 to 1 ratio with realtime.

I prefer Set Timescale to 4 myself. It gives me plenty of time to accomplish what I need to during the day yet I still get to see the sun set.

Yep, I set low as well.

For a little thrill you can set it to, say, 240 and watch the day fly by!

I made a quest script with this attached to it. I set it to run every 5.000 seconds in the quest.

scn MyTimescaleQuestScriptfloat myTshort mySshort myNbegin GameMode	set myT to GetCurrentTime	if myT > 4 && myT < 21		if myS == 0			set myS to 1			set myN to 4			ShowMessage MyTimescaleMESG, myN			set TimeScale to myN		endif	else		if myS == 1			set myS to 0			set myN to 30			ShowMessage MyTimescaleMESG, myN			set TimeScale to myN		endif	endifend

The nights are faster and the days are much longer.
The message only displays that the timescale was changed. You can leave it off it you want.

Theres an option in Wrye Flash for timescale, I set it to ten there but I'm not sure it's working right as the days still seem really quick. 1 rt second is 1 FO minute. Is that right
I have it set to 10 on Oblivion and its definitlety slower

Thanks for the replies, there's plenty for me to tinker about with tonight. I'll see what suits me best and go with it. Thanks again for the help, see you.

Thanks, I'll just use this console command because...


...This isn't working in Wrye Flash, I went into the DarN F3 setting and simescale was still at default of 30. However I don't think this setting works for Bash/Oblivion (I use Cobl menu to set)

@WillieSea: How do you get that script to run in-game? Attach it to a esp file?

You attach that script to a 'dummy' quest.

1. Make a new message if you want to use the 'showmessage' in the script.
2. Save the script above as a 'Quest' script.
3. Make a new Quest. Give it a quest name, an ID, a priority of lets say 10, and check the box 'Start Game Enabled'. In the Script Processing delay change the value to 5.0000.
4. Save the quest.
5. Edit the quest and attach your script you saved above in the 'Script' drop-down list.
6. Save the mod and activate it in your game.

Using WillieSea's instructions and script I have made my 2nd FO3 mod called http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15799 which changes the timescale to 4 in the day and 30 at night. Many thanks to WillieSea for posting these letting me add ot to Nexus.

I use timescale of 5, which is FWE default. Sometimes though I use timescale 100000 when I want to skip a few days to have everything respawn

Crap, why didn't I think of this before? I was just using the wait menu to skip those days in steps of 24 hours... What a waste of time.
