How do you skip the Robbing the Cradle OM in T:DS?

I'm currently doing a run through of T: DS and was wondering if anyone had a way to skip the level (other than savegame replacement) for Robbing the Cradle? Even if I have to edit my save files or edit the mission file.

I know it's a beloved mission but personally I don't like it and would prefer to skip it.

Thanks!

I don't think there's a mission skip for TDS like there is for T1/T2. Somewhere out there though, you can find save game files that will let you start with the mission after The Cradle.

Edit: Here, found these:

If you want to skip it because it's too scary, play it instead with the difficulty set to zero in the SneakyTweaker. Then the NPCs will leave you alone, and you can complete it easily. That way you'll get to enjoy the story and the creepy atmosphere. (Remember to reset the difficulty afterwards)

Also, if you start the mission with all of the gear that can take care of undead, it's easy to just kill them all. Disappointingly easy in fact.

I've finished the mission before but I didn't really enjoy it myself. It's not that it's too scary it's just boring to me and seems like the odd one out amongst some great city/mansion/pagan/church missions.

Thanks for all your responses everyone, I guess i'll just have to speed run through it. :)

An offshoot of the humble brag, the humble slag is where you modestly slam something most people like so as to seem non-obvious about it. coined it on the spot in jest; don't be so serious. If you'll excuse me I'm off to play Strange Bedfellows, Kidnap, Killing Time, and all of Thief 2014.

Hahaha

No need to coin a phrase, dear boy. There's a word for that already.
It's called an "opinion", quite eloquently expressed too, might I add. :)
