📋 About This Mod
Serious question, does anyone actually like the lockpicking minigame?
This mod makes it so you can open any lock by simply holding down A/D (or right/left or whatever your keys are) - you don't have to fiddle around looking for a sweet spot anymore. You can instantly win the lockpicking minigame.
This does not, however, remove the perk requirements for opening advanced/master locks.
All in all, this mod saves time on a minigame we all know we're going to succeed at eventually. It even makes the game more immersive - if your player has this talent, why do you have to labour in a minigame?

With over 33,000 endorsements and 905,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tool for players who find the minigame tedious. Last updated in 2015, it remains a staple for many.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the original Skyrim (not Special Edition), this mod should work fine, but for Special Edition you'll need to check for a compatible version or use a mod manager to convert it.
- Consider pairing this with a mod that adds more locked containers to keep the game interesting, since you'll be bypassing locks entirely.
- If you want to keep some challenge, look for a mod that only removes the minigame but still requires lockpicks or a skill check.
