📋 About This Mod
I never liked hacking minigames since Fallout 3, they take too much time and disrupt the natural game flow for me. With this mod you will always see only one password, the correct one. Keep in mind that you still must have corresponding perks to access terminals.
PS. I made the opposite mod for people who prefer player skill based hacking approach instead of character based Player Hacking
Easy Hacking simplifies Fallout 4's hacking minigame by highlighting only the correct password, regardless of difficulty. With 65,608 endorsements and 2.0M downloads, it's a highly popular quality-of-life mod for players who find the minigame tedious. Last updated in 2015, it remains a staple for many.
