📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,268 endorsements and 240k downloads show it's a go-to fix.
- Solves a real annoyance—no more accidental inventory pop-ups after picking locks.
- Tiny plugin, does exactly one thing, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not work with the latest Fallout 4 patches or F4SE versions.
- Requires F4SE, so you need to set that up first if you haven't.
- No in-game config or options—it's a set-and-forget, but you can't tweak behavior.
For Fallout 4 players who hate the auto-open inventory after lockpicking and want a cleaner flow. Also for those who find doors opening on pick annoying. Skip if you're on console or don't use F4SE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest F4SE installed and that it matches your game version.
- Install the plugin into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex.
- If the mod doesn't work, double-check that F4SE is loading correctly via the in-game console (type 'getf4seversion').
