Mods that pause Vats?
Just starting the game and am missing the old Fallout 3 style Vats system. Is there a way to pause the game when in VATS like in Fallout 3?

Let me know if you guys have found a mod or know how to edit some game files to do it!

I don't have a solution for your problem, but typing:

set timescale to 0

Will freeze the game (you can still use the interface and whatnot, it's similar to opening your inventory, the environment also freezes that way.

By default the timescale is 16 so set it back to that after it:


set timescale to 0
q
set timescale to 16


So as you can see this is a very sloppy way, but I'm not sure if there's a 100% solution available for you yet.

Thanks for the insight, yeah I'm hoping in the next few days someone will make a quick mod that makes VATS function more like it did in Fallout 3

VATS is kind of useless now, besides pulling off crits. :(

You can use this slow time-flow VATS system to your advantage. You can time it right before an enemy comes into view (from around a corner, or going into tight spaces), and you'll be able to unload your VATS attacks as soon as they clear their cover.

I can understand why you'd be used to or just like FO3's VATS better, but I recommend experimenting with this system in the meantime. It has it's uses.

Except how it protects you during VATS. I've avoided a lot of melee damage this way.

I'd wait until the NMM is updated for FO4 to keep things orgnized but have fun with it.
