Description
This mod adds a ladder in the ragged flagon to quickly exit to the market of Riften without going over the Thieves guild HQ. The well is locked during the day (from 6am to 8pm) but there is a key hidden in the ragged flagon to open it anytime. You'll just have to find it :)
Also included in this mod is a teleport spell-tome which is also located somewhere in the ragged flagon, with this spell you can return anytime from anywhere.
In version 1. 4 major changes were made. Well I basically rebuild the whole mod from scratch. As a result the .esp is much smaller, does not contain any dirty edits and is cleaner in general. For more information consult the change log.
==============================================================================
Installation:
-
[]Use Vortex or the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM).
[
]Unpack the archive and copy/move the .esp and the scripts folder to your ".../Skyrim/Data" directory.
-
[]Use Vortex or the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM).
[
]Delete these files thievesguildentrance.esp, thievesguildteleport.psc, thievesguildteleport.pex, TGL_TimedEntrance.pex and TGL_TimedEntrance.psc!
Compatibility
- []A compatibility patch for "Open Cities Skyrim" is available! (Accidentally I named the patch-file "OSC", sorry)
-
[]A compatibility patch for "Opulent Thieves Guild" is available!Note: The patches run smoothly together.
No other incompatibilities are known
Incompatibilities however will arise as soon as another mod changes following cells: RiftenOrigin, RiftenRaggedFlagon! If this happens just contact me and
I'll see if I can make a patch for it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 458 endorsements and over 7,000 downloads.
- Solves the tedious run through the Ratway for thieves.
- Simple and lightweight—does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may be incompatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition.
- Only adds a ladder and a teleport spell—no other features or polish.
For Skyrim players who are tired of the long trek through the Ratway to reach the Ragged Flagon. If you're a thief or assassin who frequently visits the guild, this is a handy convenience. Skip if you want more substantial guild overhauls or if you're on a newer Skyrim version without compatibility patches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a mod manager to convert it.
- The teleport spell will be added to your spell list—look for it under 'Alteration' or 'Conjuration'.
- Make sure to read the mod's comments section on Nexus for any user-reported issues with current game versions.
