Slows the in-game clock to half the default speed.
Makes in-game time pass at roughly real-time speed.
Overview
Adjusts the timescale global, which controls how many in-game minutes pass per real second. The default is 20; lowering it to around 10 makes days feel longer and more immersive, while raising it speeds the day-night cycle. Setting it very low or to 1 is popular for realistic playthroughs. It uses the set command syntax with the timescale variable.
