📋 About This Mod
Load order tip: load as high as possible, ideally right after USSEP.
This allows other mods to override this records should they edit the same references for their own purposes.
That's why the .esl or ESM-flagged options are the recommended ones.
You'll obviously miss the no-respawn flag on the conflicting forms, but you can't have a full bottle and a tipsy lass at the same time.
Two versions.
The classic one has only Dwemer locations.
The complete one can include any location, Dwemer or not.
This small quality-of-life mod stops Dwemer gates, passages, portcullises, bridges, and doors from resetting when you leave and re-enter a cell. It's for Skyrim players tired of re-running cleared dungeons because a gate closed behind them. With 6,038 endorsements and 1.7M downloads, it's a proven fix.
