Are there mods to cut down on the loading screens/animations

[Punished Rusty Shackleford]

I'm thinking about giving this game another chance but am having trouble getting past the fact that there are so many loading screens.

Get used to them, they are here to stay.

most of the loading screens last for 1 or 2 seconds

If you're new there are 2 crucial things about travel in the game you may have missed :

You can select a planetary location on the planet sphere map where you've already been before and fast travel there (1 loading screen, no animation, spawn directly outside your ship) from any exterior cell in the game.
IE you are on the surface of mars, open map select Jemison and then "The lodge", press travel and you will spawn in front of the door.

You can select a system or a planet and travel there (as long as your ship has enough jump range/fuel) from any exterior cell, (1 loading screen, no animation, no need to walk to your ship and take off, spawn in orbit of the selected planet).

yah it's called SSD brah

m.2 nvme ssd with pcie gen3 at least, also mobo at least too pcie gen3 support, depends where you put the m.2
or get sata ssd that has rapid mode capability through it's manufacturers app launcher

in bios also enable 4g decoding and rebar, that is if you have it, depends on the bios, gpu and cpu, at least win10, the rest don't matter, nvidia at least uses by default rebar

people that ask for a mod to remove loading screens don't have a working knowledge of hardware, software, or general technical design.

I have a fast NVME SSD and barely notice them. It's really the only thing you can do to minimize the loading screens. Also learning how to use the fast travel effectively helps a lot. It took me a while to learn that.

That would be amazing. What is it called? I'll keep my eye on it.

Neither does Bethesda. You could easily get rid of the take off/landing animations. Funny that Skyrim or Fallout didn't have a loading screen to load another loading screen. From that other person's post, you can be done.

Using instant docking, instant landing and instant take off too.

You can get rid of that substantially by using the navigation computer instead of wasting time getting your character to sit in the ships pilot seat.. etc.. its the quickest way to move around the planets & minimise loading screens.

I found a mod called "Alt+F4 and refund" that stopped all those loading screens permanently.

honestly, it's not that serious. I hated the load screens, came back to replay it some more and I barely notice them.

Get a decent SSD they are not THAT often and when they do pop up it's like 2-3 seconds. This game was never NOT going to have this issue it's by the very nature of Bethesda's design they HAVE TO have loading screens to manage how many physics items and crap are in every area.

It would be a massive save system and extremely buggy if everything existed in one seamless world and continued to be completely persistent with hundreds of hours of adjustments made to it.
Keeping track of hundreds of thousands of objects at once? nah fam.
That's why it's divided up into cells, which require loading between them, to reset and gather data for how everything is supposed to be versus how you left it last time.

Personally, I love the continuity of my exploits more than I would love no load screens.
If I want to fill some room with cheese I can, and it will stay there for the entirety of my playthrough. That's not possible with no load screen, at least not currently. Think about every other open world game, once you move X distance away all the stuff you did de-spawns and goes back to "normal", that doesn't happen in Bethesda games except on rare occasions.

Maybe when every game is online connected to massive servers that track ONLY that information it will be a thing but for right now the only game trying that with any semblance of success is Star Citizen.
