</>Common questions about Stop the Clock (Time Control)
What does Stop the Clock do in My Summer Car?
Stop the Clock freezes the time of day in My Summer Car, so the in-game clock stops advancing while you work. Flip on the Freeze Time toggle and the current time simply holds — the sun stays where it is in the sky, day does not tick over to night, and the pressure of a closing shop or an approaching bedtime disappears. It is ideal when you are mid-build and do not want to lose the light, or when you want to soak in a particular time of day. Switch Freeze Time back off and the clock resumes from wherever Stop the Clock paused it, so the normal day-night cycle returns exactly where it left off.
Does Stop the Clock freeze time at whatever moment I switch it on?
Yes. Stop the Clock captures the time of day at the exact moment you flip the Freeze Time toggle in My Summer Car and holds it there. If you switch it on at high noon, the sun stays overhead; if you switch it on during a golden evening, that evening light stays put. There is no target time to enter — you simply pick your moment by choosing when to toggle it. This makes it easy to lock in whatever conditions you like: bright daylight for detailed engine work, or a calm dusk for a relaxed cruise. When you toggle Stop the Clock off, time picks up again from that same held moment rather than jumping ahead.
Does freezing time also pause my survival needs or the whole game?
Stop the Clock is focused specifically on the time of day in My Summer Car — it holds the clock and the sun in place, but it is not a full game pause. Your character still exists in the world and things that are not tied to the clock keep behaving normally, so this is about giving you unlimited daylight to work in, not about stopping everything around you. If you also want to switch off survival needs like hunger, thirst or fatigue during a long frozen-time session, that is a job for a separate survival mod; Stop the Clock deliberately keeps its scope to the day-night cycle so it stays simple and predictable.
Can I turn Stop the Clock off and let the day continue normally?
Yes, and Stop the Clock is a clean single toggle in My Summer Car. Freeze Time is the only switch: on holds the time of day exactly where it is, and off lets the clock run again from that point. There is no slider or value to configure, which keeps it predictable — you always know that flipping the toggle either pauses or resumes the day. Because it resumes from where it stopped rather than skipping forward, you can freeze time for as long as a build takes, then unfreeze and carry on as if no real time had passed in the world. Toggle it as often as you like across a session without restarting the game.
Why would I freeze time in My Summer Car?
My Summer Car ties a lot to the clock — shops keep hours, the light fades, and a long job can run past the point where you can see what you are doing. Stop the Clock removes that pressure so you can finish fitting the gearbox in daylight, take your time on a fiddly repair, or simply hold onto a nice evening for a relaxed drive. It is popular with players who like to build methodically without racing the sunset, and with content creators who want consistent lighting across a recording. You will find Stop the Clock free on ProjectMods, and Freeze Time flips on and off instantly, so the normal day-night cycle is always one click away.
