About Lockpick Pro

This mod adds a bar at the top of the screen while picking a lock which shows you the 'sweet spot' of the lock. It also shows the health of the current lockpick.

Installation

Place 'lockpickingmenu.swf' in [Skyrim installation folder]/Data/Interface

Uninstallation

Simply remove the file!

Enjoy :)

Mod by: Kenney Vleugels www.kenney.nl

Version 2: Adds support for Nexus Mod Manager and adds a settings file where you can choose whether you'd like to display the bar or only the lockpick health! Version 1: Initial release

    I dont know what to call this, the game cheat by moving the sweet spot on the same lock from side to side then i think this is a ok tool, I do not use it or other mods, I think the game lots og problems no need to make en more bad.

    Re: Lockpick Pro and Steam

    I guess if I run the game via steam I won't be able to use the mod .... Correct?

     

    Thanks!

    This mod is great for what it was intended for.

    I was hoping for something a bit different when I read its description. I was hoping for a bar that started out revealing nothing about the sweet spot, but whenever you reached the lockpick-damaging stage of an attempt, would draw a vertical colored line. Black where there's no progress at all, and the varying colors you used for the partially successful areas.

    That would be a huge help in removing the frustrations of lockpicking without making it easier to solve. It wouldn't be a "cheat" as some people are complaining, but an interface that helps you keep track of what you were doing while you were doing it the hard way. Without any addons, I'm reduced to having to memorize the exact patina-blemish that the righthand side of the lockpick was touching, so that next time, I could start a little to the right or left of it (which is frankly annoying); being able to move the triangular cursor to a mark I made would be much easier.

    Heck, even having just a number giving the last attempt's angle and the current position of the pick would be better than the default interface for me.

    Could you people whine anymore? If you don't like the addon, DONT use it. It really is quite simple. If you think it's cheating and dont like to cheat, then DONT cheat.... To the person that said OH what's next maybe a god mode?! Yes there is a god mode in the game.

    Not everyone plays with the same idyllic view of the game behind them, some just enjoy unabashed fun :). Don't take their fun away because you are a grumpy little kid.

    looks good, the only reason I would use this is for characters that I dont want to waste perks points for lockpicking (ie.. mages)

    This is pointless, if you use this, you might as well save time, hit the ` key and type in unlock if you really dont want to pick locks.  Personally i feel lockpicking is an amazing aspect of the game and hate that it's been made such an easy task due to this, and besides, if you ended up breaking 25 lockpicks just to get past some part of the game, or get into a chest that has nothing useful in it, you should really just not be picking locks then.  You can get through the entire main part of the game without picking locks.

    soon to be owner of skyrim for pc here, but i curently have xbox version, to be lockpicking with a keybaord seems pretty, difficult, no vibrations, no rotating thumb sticks, just cold hard keys, hopefully this mod will solve me a lot of dick aches with common thievery thank you

    I've found using the Xbox Controller for PC works great with Skyrim and does vibrate when I mess up on lock picking :)

    Love the mod. Gotta say it is pretty clever and it looks great.

    Thanks for benefiting the community :)

  • #24

    lol I really dont agree, this isnt really a mod it is a cheat, there are parts about every game that someone wont like. Some people may find a certain mob a pain to kill, what then? create a mod that gives an easy kill to get passed it, if that continued you may as well add god mode mod and have done with it :P

  • #23

    what is up with the nagging x)

    it's a mod, and if you don't want easier lockpicking then don't dl it :P why comment about how bad it is that there is a mod for it ^_^

    I haven't even dl the game yet, and yet I'm still going to install this mod after first launch, cuz I hate tedious tasks like lockpicking :P

     

    anyways, TY for your creation! lotsa love! <3 :P

    If you don't like the mod simply don't download it. I use this because lockpicking is a waste of time to me, and I'd rather open my locks with ease, and continue on what I am doing than break 25 lockpicks just to get a few gold, and some useless items I don't need.
