📋 About This Mod
The compatibility issue in question arises when you're a Devotee of Sithis and you attempt to interact with a residential door whilst sneaking. You'll find that you're forced to use the 'Call of the Void' ability. This patch allows you to activate either the Devotee ability or the lockpicking UI. The patch does this by adding a condition to the perk that Simply Knock uses which allows you to knock on doors. The added condition makes the perk take into account whether or not the player is a Devotee of Sithis, and adds the extra activation option accordingly.

INSTALLATION
- Manual installation is not supported
- If installing through either Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex, ensure that this patch's ESP comes after Simply Knock and Wintersun in the load order
- If you're nearing the ESP limit, this patch should be good to merge with other patches, as it only contains a single record
