Want backdoor mod into institute

[craldark]

Early on, using a doorbuster mod I entered the underwater way in to the maintenance area as far as the welding synths working on a big pipe. I entered the pipe but it comes to a grid which won't break with the doorbuster. So i found a video which shows that done normally through the quest, the screen fades to black at that point and presumably fades in within the Institute (exactly where I can't recall as it's years since I played this quest.) Anyway, I'm curious if anyone knows of a mod for the PS5 that might give me access. I don't care if it breaks a ton of quests because all I want to do is kill Shaun and maybe everyone in the Institute. That's my own quest.

This isn't doing exactly what you want (like opening that "grid" in the pipe).
But it is the fastest way to get into the Institute that I would know of.
And SKK's mods usually work without breaking a bunch of other stuff:

Read the description page, though.
As your choices have serious consequences.

Thanks, but it's not available on ps5. I would love to be able to sneak in without meeting and having to listen to Father's bsh. Imagine wandering around and nobody knows who you are, especially Shaun.

Funny thing was I got so close with my two companions. I wonder if that portal door had worked if they could have got in with me.

Maybe ... just play it vanilla, since you're on a console that can't use most mods? The institute can't allow companions without a specific mod that I doubt very much is available on console.

I too generally speaking want to punch Father in the face. Not quite as much as Maxson but still. I didn't bring no child into the world to be like either of them. :D

I would look into the companion mods, I don't use a console but there MIGHT still be one or two for letting them enter the Institute. But overall it's one of those "they stay behind for REASONS" whatever that reason is (no idea, since really, you should be able to drag them along...).
