About This Mod
The principle involves hooking and hijacking ticks to achieve the time-stop effect. Theoretically, it can even act as an optimization mod. My save with RJW running at 400 TPS soared to 2800 TPS when time was stopped. With a protected area designated (semi-normal game flow) and the narrator not stopped, it still maintained 1400 TPS. The mod offers many configurations for full customization.
