📋 About This Mod

MODDED       

Both of these start from the instant door is activated.

So, to emphasize, The door opens INSTANTLY and there's no FADE after the initial loading screen.

This applies to every loading screen, from loading up the game to traversing with ship etc.

STUCK DOORS IS A VANILLA BUG AND NOT RELATED TO THIS MOD.

Quicksave and load will fix that.

HOW TO INSTALL

Drag the contents of the zip file to C:\Users\%Username%\Documents\My Games\Starfield

If you don't want to remove fades, simply ignore everything under in the StarfieldCustom.ini

If you already have a StarfieldCustom.ini, copy the contents from my file to yours.

HOW TO UNINSTALL

REMOVE THE FILES AND UNTYPE THE TEXT.

✨ Key Features

Removes the fade in/out from loading screens, cutting the wait after the screen loads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Saves real time every time you go through a door—no more staring at a slow animation.
  • Community-approved with 251 endorsements and over 22k downloads, so it's proven stable.
  • Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well, no bloat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Disables achievements, which might be a dealbreaker for achievement hunters.
  • Only affects door transitions and loading screen fades—doesn't speed up the actual loading time.
  • Compatibility risk with other mods that alter loading screens or door animations, so test with your load order.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who are tired of waiting for doors to open and loading screens to fade, especially if you fast-travel or enter buildings often. Skip if you're an achievement hunter or if you use mods that overhaul loading screens—this might conflict.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod disables achievements, consider using a mod like 'Achievements Enabler' if you want to keep earning them.
  • Place this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other UI or animation mods.
  • Test in a few different locations (cities, dungeons) to ensure no visual glitches with the removed fades.
