For example: Garik doesn't need to eat, drink or sleep as often as he used to. However, there are other unexpected effects. So, a sunny day becomes overcast, I might begin to hear distant thunder, or the wind might start to pick up, it might turn cold, and then after a suitable warning it starts to rain. What that means is that Skyrim days last longer and my character can get more done, but more importantly, I now get to see dusk and dawn, and weather changes tend to build gradually. In other words I am now playing Skyrim in real-time. In my game at the moment 1 minute of play represents 1 minute of Skyrim Time.



However, I found this annoying not least because it got dark so suddenly, a bit like someone switched off the light, and because with the Climates of Tamriel mod in place the weather was flipping back a forth like crazy. So, 1 minute of play represents 20 minutes of Skyrim time, and a day lasts 1 hour 12 mnutes of player activity. As I understand it by default time in Skyrim passes at 20x Real Time.
