So...anyone tried to slow the timescale, yet? Some older games - and I'm pretty sure Skyrim is not among them, since I played it for around 600 hours modified like that - had some issues with that. AI packages went rogue and so on. In Skyrim I played with a timescale of 6. 1 minute realtime is 6 minutes ingame time, so an ingame hour takes 10 real minutes and you'd have around 2 real hours of sunlight and 2 real hours of night time.

Currently, and as with Skyrim, timescale is set to 20. Which means you get around 36 real minutes between sunrise and sunset, then another 36 minutes of night. It's much, much too fast imho.

Anyone did try and change the timescale yet? Any side effects?

Oh btw...here is how it goes: Open the console and type "set timescale to x" without the exclamation marks and x being the desired number. You can always check your defined timescale by typing "show timescale".

Timescale, if I recall, is default at 30 as it is in every other TES/Fallout game if memory serves.

show timescale revealed it to be at 20 though, as it was in Skyrim. 30 would be even quicker...

Well I guess I'll just give it a try. It worked perfectly fine in Skyrim and it even automatically saves into the savegame, so no need for a real mod.

In Skyrim I had no problems with a timescale at 10. In New Vegas, my char would sometimes die on loading a game with timescale at 10, but not when the timescale is at 12. So, now I always play with timescale 12 which doesn't have any problems in Oblivion, Skyrim, New Vegas (at least for me). Haven't tried this with FO4 though, but because the engine is almost the same as Skyrim I guess it will work the same.

I've been playing with 12 since the beginning, and there's no issues.

I believe the problems in previous games occurred when using extremely slow or extremely fast timescales.

Thanks. What I expected. 600 hours Skyrim with timescale 6 should've made me confident enough, but I wanted to hear at least one other opinion.

Hrm, default timescale changed to 20? That's an unusual change to the game and I checked, their past games are indeed at 30. Makes me wonder why the change. I usually set timescale to 5 but change it back to default before I do a wait or sleep. Not sure if that is even necessary anymore either as if I tried sleeping for long period on past games with a low timescale, *Crash*

Don't think it's necessary. Though I repeat myself, let me say it again: Almost 600 hours of Skyrim with timescale 6. And despite the usual glitches I never had any major breakdown with it, like broken quests or AI malfunctions.

Didnt messing with the time scale cause problems in previous games? I remember modders saying use at your own risk. If there was a problem what exactly was it?

I like the idea of having longer days and nights, it'll make you appreciate them more. Especially when mods comes out that makes night darker, we will be stuck in the hellish chaos for a long while and love to see the sight of the sun.

In Oblivion, AI could break because some of it was time-sensitive in some way. Dunno how it worked exactly, but it broke anyway. Skyrim did not share these problems though. Been playing with timescale set to 6 for a couple of hours in Fallout 4 already...seems to work fine. The whole quest in Concord - and it looked heavily scripted - went without any issue.

IF I set it to 6 will it save with the save file? Or will I have to readjust it everytime I play?

It gets saved, once is enough.
