Real 24 hour environment in-game

I've always found the day night cycle of the game a bit disruptive visually. I usually play overnight and would actually prefer the game to reflect the day/night conditions of the player. Or at least within range. Any chance the game can add an option to follow a 24 clock. in North America it could probably pick a universal local Central or Mountain (GMT -6/-7, I suppose Europe's clock can be GMT +1) instead of the 3-4 hour cycled days it currently does?

I wouldn't want such a thing. TES games have always had day/night cycles that are faster than real time. I think that in-game weather is handled by the game client and can therefore be different for each player, but I don't know if it could be extended to handle the day/night cycle as well. It might not be a problem in terms of the visual aspects, but it might be a problem for things like the cycles of the moons and anything (such as the spawning of werewolves and vampires) which depends on the time of day or cycles of the moons.

I'd hate if my playtime ended up being all night or all day forever.

There is no chance an add-on can alter the in-game environment. Further, it is highly unlikely Zenimax would create such an option for a player for various reasons. Time and money are needed for something that would bring limited benefits to a few players interested in this. More importantly, there are aspects of the game.

Used to be that some activities/encounters only happened during specific day/night cycles. Been a while, so I forget what they are. There are the Blood Fiends for getting Vamp Curse. Couple of others, but I forget. That wouldn't play so nice with a 24hr day/night cycle rather than the 6hr we have now.

I only play a few hours a day so I enjoy that I see different cycles of the day, and would not like this to change.
