📋 About This Mod
The passage eagerly opens when a member approaches (SOS-compatible, of course) and closes... guess when.
IMPORTANT
The persistent vanilla trigger won't update its placement if this is installed midgame.
You'll have to enter in the console (when not in Riften) PrID 00105F3D and then RecycleActor.
This small utility mod for Skyrim automatically opens and closes the Thieves Guild secret passage in the graveyard, based on faction membership. It works for both the player and NPCs, and is flagged as ESP-FE for efficient load order. A simple quality-of-life tweak for stealthy players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 211 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- ESP-FE means it's load-order friendly and won't bloat your plugin count.
- Faction-based logic is smart—no more fiddling with levers or waiting for NPCs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- Only affects the Thieves Guild passage—if you wanted more secret passages, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the Thieves Guild headquarters or its scripts.
For Skyrim players who are tired of manually opening that squeaky passage every time they visit the Ragged Flagon. Also great for immersion-focused players who want NPCs to use the passage realistically. Skip if you're on a mod list that already overhauls the Thieves Guild or if you never use that entrance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-FE, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other Thieves Guild mods is a good habit.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file placement needed.
- Test it by approaching the passage as a non-Thieves Guild character to confirm it stays closed.
