================================================== ==============
Simply Knock is the first fully functional model that allows you to knock on doors in Skyrim. If someone is home, they will answer the door! You can then play your voice skill and have them allow you in. If someone inside is a friend, they will always let you in.
All doors in Skyrim can be locked, as well as some businesses where people live (farms, shops, etc.).
If you need a quiet place to spend the night, or want to visit someone you know at an odd hour, just knock on the door like a normal, civilized person would. It's also useful to check if anyone is home before you commit your next burglary.
My goal was to make a very simple, lightweight, no-nonsense mod that would have a place in almost everyone's game, regardless of modding taste or playstyle.
How to use
Click on any locked residence in Skyrim. Instead of unlocking the lock screen, you'll get "Knock," "Leave," and "Unlock" options. If someone is home, they answer the door. You can talk to them through the door and try to bargain. People who are your friends always allow you in (configurable), so are helpful.
If no one is home, you will receive a "No Answer" message.
Everything here belongs to it.

How this mod came to be
I was so happy a few days ago when I decided to visit my good friend Faendal after dark. Just the other day I was helping him with his lady problems and I was like, we're friends, right? That's when I realized, as I've realized many times in the past, that the only way I could talk to him now was;
1.Stand outside the door until morning like a fool
Just break into his house
I said "enough" and set out to create this.
Details and features
The voice of the person you hear on the other side of the door will match the voice of the person actually answering the door. Great!
If no one is home, or no one can answer, then no one will answer.
Simply Knock implements a Mod Config menu to configure small settings, such as how difficult or easy your voice technology attempts should be. It also adds settings config files as seen in some of my other mods. Configure once and your settings can be autocompleted or autoplayed on your next character.
If allowed inside, the area will remain unlocked for the duration of your stay or until the next time their "lock …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
