Unlocks more areas from the vanilla game in the Shattered Skyrim mod and makes them consistent with the base mod.
So far I've unlocked Understone Keep and all of its connecting areas (Hall of the dead, Nchuand Zel, The Dwemer Museum and Wizards Lab). They've also been navmeshed and had their fire, fire lights and fresh food removed. This gives some accessibility to mods like Relics of Hyrule which add items into these interiors.
I will add and unlock more areas as people request, or as I need them.

It also navmeshes these areas, enabling access for mods like Relics of Hyrule. With 107 endorsements and 8,599 downloads, it's a niche utility for Shattered Skyrim players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap for Shattered Skyrim players who want to explore vanilla interiors without the clutter.
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (8,599 downloads, 107 endorsements) shows it's being used.
- Actively maintained—last updated May 2026, and the author is open to expanding content.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Understone Keep and its connected areas—other interiors remain locked unless you request them.
- Requires Shattered Skyrim as a base mod, so it's useless if you don't run that overhaul.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter those same interiors, though the navmesh and cleanup help.
For Shattered Skyrim players who want to explore Understone Keep and its dungeons without the fire and food clutter, and who use mods like Relics of Hyrule that place items there. Skip if you don't use Shattered Skyrim or if you're fine with the vanilla locked areas.
