📋 About This Mod
Description
Gone are the days where you can see the other side of the door or cabiniet, but...for some strange reason you cannot reach your hand over and unlock it! "Open Broken Doors" allows you to reach over doors that are smashed up and unlock them from the other side.
It also allows you to reach into broken cabinets, but watch out, all that extra glass may cut you!
This does not apply for doors that require a key.
Standard - Low intelligence players may not figure out how to reach over and open the doors. There is also a chance you can cut yourself trying to reach over (Dependant on your agility)
Peasant Version - This version lets you open all doors in a good old cheating fashion. No intelligence or Agiltiy check, just open the door and go.
Compatibility This mod adds a script to broken doors, any mod that does the same will have issues.
This mod is Tale of Two Wastelands Compatible, no patch needed.
Other Notes The popup message you see in the screen shot appears only once, after that you will simply see a top corner message when opening a locked broken door (similar to the "you lost karma" type message)
Permissions Please ask if you wish to use this mod, we will likley say yes. Do not upload to other websites without our permission.
