🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have F4SE installed correctly and launch the game through f4se_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
Install MCM first, then Fallsouls, and activate the mod in your mod manager before starting the game.
Start with all menus unpaused to get a feel, then selectively enable pause for menus you find too punishing.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust with 7,837 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads
- Adds real tension to looting and pip-boy use—no more safe pause-scumming
- Full MCM control means you can tailor exactly which menus pause the game
👎 Cons
- Requires F4SE and MCM, so you need to set up those mods first
- Not for casual players—if you hate dying while checking your inventory, this will frustrate you
- No built-in presets; you'll need to configure each menu yourself in MCM
