📋 About This Mod
Description
This SKSE plugin allows most of the dialogue directed to the player to be skipped instantly, bypassing the 750 millisecond delay. This includes most dialogue from Talking Activators which is normally unskippable. It also includes Osmosis-Wrench's Allow Dialogue Progress Bugfix using SKSE instead of Papyrus.
This is a CommonLibSSE port of Osmosis-Wrench's Allow Dialogue Progress Fix SKSE to support Skyrim SE v1. 7. 104.
Dialogue subtitles must be enabled for this mod to work.
Enable this setting in the in-game menu under System > Settings > Display > Dialogue Subtitles or set bDialogueSubtitles=1 under in SkyrimPrefs.ini.
Unfortunately, skipping dialogue using the selection button on controllers doesn't always work.

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with almost everything, including mods that edit the dialogue menu UI. The only incompatible mod that I'm aware of is Unskippable Dialogue NG. It can safely be installed and uninstalled at any moment. The Papyrus version of Allow Dialogue Progress Bugfix is redundant when using this mod.
Smart Talk (Dialogue Menu Enhancer) also enables instantly skipping dialogue, with full support for controllers and also allowing to skip the last line of dialogue from talking activators. For those reasons, you may prefer to use that mod instead of this one.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 7,044 endorsements and 2.1M downloads.
- Saves real time on repeat playthroughs—no more waiting through forced dialogue.
- Works on the most annoying unskippable scenes, which is a godsend for speedrunners.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so you need to set that up first if you haven't.
- Last updated in 2023—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates.
For Skyrim players who are tired of waiting through dialogue they've heard a hundred times, especially on new playthroughs or when testing mods. Also great for speedrunners who want to shave off seconds. Skip if you enjoy the game's voice acting and never skip dialogue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install SKSE first and launch the game through skse_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, grab the correct SKSE version for your game version (1.5.97 or 1.6.x).
- This mod is a plugin, so use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep your load order clean.
