📋 About This Mod
Meant as a companion to Get On With It - No more waiting for doors, and a spiritual successor to the same change made in my Fallout 4 mod, No Door Animations - Instant Doors, this mod removes the animation of an NPC opening a door so there's no more lines forming to go through.
While Get On With It - No more waiting for doors isn't required, I'd consider it a soft requirement, otherwise instead of waiting for NPCs to perform the door opening animation, you'll be waiting for the door to play the door opening animation.
This mod removes the door-opening animation for NPCs in Skyrim, making them pass through doors instantly. It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for players who find the animation repetitive or want faster NPC movement. With over 5,000 endorsements, it's a well-received utility mod.
