📋 About This Mod

Does not remove Hacker and Picklock perks requirement.

Not idiot-proof: If you have low intelligence character more words will appear on screen, which might cause hacking to fail - wait 10 seconds and try again.

Fixes inverted/mirrored lockpicking bar that other lockpicking mods have.

Also speeds up words showing up on terminals for auto-hacking purposes.
