📋 About This Mod

Hey you! Yeah you... Have you ever

wanted that word of Fire Breath or Animal Allegiance without having to join the Companions? wanted that word of Slow Time or Ice Form without having to join the College of Winterhold? wanted that word of Disarm without having to join the Thieves Guild? wanted that word of Slow Time without having to join the Civil War? wanted to collect the Gauldur Amulet without having to join the College of Winterhold? wanted to steal the Eyes of the Falmers or Chillrend without having to join the Thieves Guild? wanted to wear the Jagged Crown in front of Ulfric or Tullius without having to join the Civil War? wanted to collect all dragon priest masks without being forced into several quests? wanted to save ten precious septims by breaking into an empty house, which is currently for sale, instead of staying at the local inn? wondered why the layout of so many dungeons drastically changes when a related quest starts? wondered why your fully skilled master thief can't pick a simple lock on a dungeon because it requires a key but can pick the master lock next-doors?

I guess you're not into roleplaying. Time for you to move on.

That's good man, that's reeaal good because I've got the perfect mod for ya:

:: Features ::

  • []Makes all dungeons in Skyrim fully accessible without having to start a quest first. []Therefore unlocks most quest-locked content. []Replaces most "requires a key" locked doors with pickable ones. []MCM for additional options. []Doesn't break any quest unless you explicitly request it in the MCM. []No drastic or immersion-breaking edits. []Includes relevant fixes from the Unofficial Patches. []Cleaned with TES5Edit.

:: FAQ ::

What are the requirements?

Skyrim Unlocked only requires the latest version of Skyrim. SkyUI 5. 1 or newer is required for the MCM.

Can I install/uninstall this mod midgame?

I intended Skyrim Unlocked like this: You install it on a new game, configure the MCM to your liking and then forget about it for the rest of your playthrough. But you should be able to install it at any time.

Uninstalling Skyrim Unlocked is neither supported nor recommended
