Pregression of time in the game

Does time pass the same in game as it does in the real world and does Tamriel have 24 hour days?
Thanks

Actually, a day in Tamriel is three times as long as a day on Earth. A day in game is 72 hours long.

are you referring to one min irl = one min in skyrim?

i'm 99% sure its not, which i wish one min irl = one min skyrim.

edit: i'm sure skyrims time is faster (no proof, just from gaming experience)

1 RL minute = 20 in game minutes.

If you're playing on PC you can change this by using the "set timescale to" console command.

I changed mine to 1/10.

Yes, on PC (what else is there?) :wink:
Thanks for the replies. When you change "set timescale" it doesn't mess up animations in any way or weather effects does it?

I wish I could adjust this on the console. It goes WAY too fast for my liking. One dungeon raid is nearly enough to pass an entire afternoon. I prefer a 1:10 or 1:12 ratio. Anything above is too fast. Can we get this option?

I heard someone already got to 4E 204 already! That's an insane amount of time.

Hell, I'm only halfway through 4E202 personally.

Changing the time scale can have weird consequences in the game. Not so much in the vanilla game, but with mods. Not sure if or how many quests are scripted to a certain time frame (usually they just want you to be somewhere around a certain game time) but those could be affected.

Also, if you change the time in the console, it may not stick on reloads and for sure would probably not carry over to a different gaming session. Might be best to wait for a full fledged mod.

Me, I want a mod that whenever I fast travel, it deposits me at the time it would normally or at 8 AM the next morning. I am tired of always arriving in the middle of the night to where ever I go.

What .ini is that and what's the line?

I have 79 hours of gaming and I haven't found any problem with the timescale changed to 1/10. Also the values stays the same when you save and load the game.

A lot of ppl changed their timescale and I haven't heard of any problems so far.
