📋 About This Mod
Doors are rather annoying in Fallout: New Vegas.
They are especially annoying when they swing open - blocking you and your companions shoulder to shoulder or pinning you in a corner during a firefight.
This mod aims to fix this, by simply and safely disabling collision on opening doors. Is the door opening? yes then pass through at will. Closed, closing or fully open? business as usual.
Lightweight, espless and performance friendly, this mod will transform your door traversal experience! TTW Compatible.
No more getting stuck trying to exit the bathroom after a few too many cans of Cram at Gomorrah.

Installation
First, install the latest versions of xNVSE, JIP & Johnny Guitar.
Optionally (but HIGHLY recommended) install KEYWORDS to enable the use of door exclusion lists. Without keywords all doors will toggle collision states while opening, even if it doesn't really make sense to do so, for example Vault doors. Installing Keywords prevents certain doors from losing collision for a more coherent experience. Please use the Forum section to request additions to this list.
Doors can be added to the exclusion list kDOORS.ini located in the KEYWORDS folder.
Install and Uninstall using a mod manager of your choice, alternatively, add or remove ln_DoorPinchFix.txt & gr_DoorPinchFix.txt from NVSE > Plugins > Scripts as required. There are no particular load-order requirements for using this mod.
Finally, go open a door and enjoy the freedom of movement you've always desired!
