Q: Can you disable fade when NPCs and Players are too close to the camera?
A: Install SSE Display Tweaks and set DisableActorFade and/or DisablePlayerFade to true. This is recommended to prevent dragons and other NPCs from disappearing when near.
No Load Door NPC Fade removes the fade effect applied to NPCs when you enter a load door, fixing broken transparency and shadow issues. It's a small, focused fix for Skyrim players who want cleaner visuals during transitions.
