Some technical info of SkyrimSouls for modders who are willing to make compatibility patches to this plugin:
Because this plugin changes some menus' default behavior of pausing game,so papyrus function Utility.Wait() will be executed immediately rather than being blocked until closing menu when unpaused menu is open and game is runing.
Edit:Since V1.0.1.9,Utility.Wait(),RegisterForUpdate(),RegisterForSingleUpdate() will be blocked until closing menu if any unpaused menu modified by this plugin is open.I changed these functions to make this plugin compatiable with most mods.
This plugin also changes the definition of Utility.IsInMenuMode(),the default definition of this function in vanilla is to check whether game is in paused menu mode.Now if any unpaused menu modified by this plugin is open,Utility.IsInMenuMode() will return true too,so you can use this function to check whether other menu is open.
If you want to slow down time when unpaused menu is open,check out this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/83827/?

Love this mod and have not had a single issue with the mod itself. My only problem is that I'm a poisoner. I love slipping slow acting poisons and watching from afar. With this mod, you have to be very quick! Also, if you get stuck in a few menus and you get attacked, there's a good possibility that you'll be killed before you can get out of the menus in time. Those arent mod issues, though. Other than that, this is great!! Thanks!!
Well, well, seems this mod is plenty of compatibility issues...
The thing is that I really like much how it changes the game. Pair this with Disable Smithing Upgrades and your Skyrim gameplay will be in another level.
Breaking my heart to say but this mod is not usable, it will eventually break your save (game) skyrim you will have an error 42949 unknown location if you try to goto Load or Save, and you will be unable to do either.
