Auto Pause on Pie Menu / Interactions

A mod that automatically pauses the game whenever you click a sim or object to access the interactions/pie menu. Very useful for navigating pie menus with a lot of interactions, like sims, stoves, and computers.

Showcases the mod in action, with the name of the mod and then clicking, the game pausing in response and resuming once they have made their selection.

How does it work?

Whenever you click on an object to open the Pie Menu, it will remember the current game speed, then pause the game.

Once you're done with the Pie Menu (either by selecting an interaction or backing out), the game will then continue with the previous speed. Do note that if your game was already paused before opening the pie menu, it will stay paused afterwards.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you select an object with no interactions, the game will both pause and unpause very quickly. Keep in mind if you have photosensitivity issues.


How do I install?

Simply place the contents of the two files inside the .zip you downloaded directly into your Mods folder or only one sub-folder deep. Make sure that "Enable Custom Content and Mods" and "Script Mods Allowed" are both enabled in the game options.
