🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage Simply Knock, as manual installation can lead to load order issues.
Check if your Skyrim version is compatible — the mod hasn't been updated since 2016, so it may not work with the latest Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
Pair with mods that enhance NPC AI or dialogue to get more immersive responses when you knock.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (28,293 endorsements) — this is a must-have for immersion fans.
- Simple concept, but it fills a real gap: no more picking locks or breaking in when you just want to say hi.
- Still relevant years later (last updated 2016) — a testament to its stability and usefulness.
👎 Cons
- No updates since 2016 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires a mod manager for proper installation, which might be a hurdle for beginners.
- Limited scope: only adds knocking, so if you want deeper NPC reactions or consequences, this won't deliver.
