joebr0 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 As the subject suggests, I am wondering if it is possible at all to read books without pausing the game time? Before the flaming begins, YES, I am aware of the mod called Real Time Reading. However, I believe the title of that mod is very misleading. With that mod you can not in fact read while the world passes around you. Instead, it calculates by how many pages it has and then fast forwards the time by a couple hours. I am also aware of the mod Professions and it's similar functionality. All I want to do is go to an inn or a house, sit by the fire, open up a book and just read. Imagine with Chesko's amazing Frostfall mod: Sitting in your tent next to a cozy firepit at night time and hearing the sounds of the atmosphere around you, all while reading to pass some time and relax. To me, THAT is immersion, not fast forwarding two hours after reading an inheritance letter about your favorite late drinking buddy from that naked courier that just creeped out of nowhere. While he stares at you, naked and you try to tell him that was really creepy, but he just replies "nope, I've got nothing for you, sorry" and then slips into the night. Like an assassin. Assassin's Creed 12: Naked Mail Deliveryman. But I digress. I mean no discredit to the authors of Real Time Reading or Professions at all. I have used both, they are great mods and I am proud to say that I have an idea that could vastly improve the concept. I'm sure my idea is not mine alone either. I'm sure someone has always wanted this too. Could it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That sounds wonderful actually. Though I've seen a few wait mods that allow you to observe the world passing while you wait (I think the best was a stool in Oblivion where you'd sit and the NPC's would go about their schedules while time passed) I've yet to see one that did this while a book was equipped and functioning. Might not be possible since an open book usually takes up the whole screen but I'd love to see it if it is! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
