Why did you make this mod?
A user on the Bethesda forums requested for it to be made, and here it is.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THIS MOD
This mod is simpler than most people think . When pressing "Relay To Institute" in the terminal, the script runs and teleports the player to a marker in the Institute cell. No quests are skipped or marked as finished, it's just a simple teleport to cell. I believe Bethesda hard-coded it so when it's the players first time entering the Institute cell, it starts the Institutionalized quest. This isn't something I did, but Bethesda has done. As such, you may experience some minor issues with quests and/or locations (for example, a wall will block the entrance to Railroad HQ, so I moved the door so it is now accessible). If you find any issues, please report them and I will try fix it.
Will this mod work for quickly finishing other faction's MQ?
No, not currently. This mod is purely developed as a quick way to finish the Institute storyline in a lightweight form (only 50kb).
If you are wishing to do this with other faction's MQ, I suggest using the SKK Fast Start Institute mod by the great SKK50.
Is this mod lore-friendly/immersive?
Maybe, maybe not. You decide :)
