Is there an active pause?

[Gamerwolfsix]

I know in game there isn't. But is there a mod or something that let's me build and plan while the game is paused or extremely slow? I want to plan things our, but am always side tracked by a quest, event or someone talking. And it's a pain.

There's one that slows down time more:

Thanks. Though wish it could pause or make the game run at 1% speed. Want to spend awhile planning without having to be disturbed.

The game engine wasn't designed to ever anticipate being able to manipulate the world while paused. That's why even mods don't truly pause the game, just slow it down more.

You could try Creative Mode. Or customize the game to remove all opponents, and then adjust notifications so that many issues are simply taken care of without you being interrupted (keep in mind that in some instance, like the newspaper, having it auto-resolved doesn't necessarily mean it's done in a way that is always ideal and beneficial).

I was going to buy this. Glad I read this first. No way.
