What this mod does

TimeSpeed, by cantorsdust and Pathoschild, controls the speed of Stardew Valley’s clock. You can make days last longer so you can play at a relaxed pace, make them go by faster or freeze time completely, automatically or with a key.

How to use it

Default and per-location speed: in the base game every ten minutes lasts 0.7 seconds (0.9 in the Skull Cavern); the mod lets you change that and, by default, time runs slower indoors.
Keys: N freezes or unfreezes time, comma and period speed it up or slow it down, and B reloads the config.
Manual speeds reset when you change location or day, on purpose.
It works with a controller and on Android, and is configured with Generic Mod Config Menu.

Compatibility

Version 2.8.1 (March 15, 2026) requires Stardew Valley 1.6.15 or later and SMAPI 4.1.10. It works in single-player, multiplayer and split-screen: the host must have it, and farmhands with the mod can control time unless the host prevents it. It conflicts with other time mods, such as Pause Time in Multiplayer or Time Master.

Freezing time also stops machines, lightning, the train and pigs’ truffles. Translations are included in the mod.

How to install it

Install SMAPI first (see its mod page) and launch the game once with it to make sure it works.
Open the TimeSpeed page on Nexus Mods, go to the Files tab and click Manual download on the main file (TimeSpeed 2.8.1). You need a free Nexus account to download.
Extract the .zip outside the game folder and move the resulting folder into the Mods folder, inside the game folder.
If you have another mod that changes time speed, remove it: there should only be one.
Launch the game with SMAPI, load your save and press N to freeze time; press it again to resume.
