A note regarding the wand-cast and incantation

This mod will play the wand-cast animation and the incantation voice-over... but don't be surprised if they don't happen every time. When the game was first launched and people discovered that they had to spam revelio to find stuff, it drove us all mad that the main character ("MC") would say "Revelio" every time. So the game devs patched it as follows: 1) If you cast the same spell more than once the MC will only speak the incantation the first time, and 2) If you cast the same spell within 30 seconds the MC will only speak the incantation the first time. To make the MC say the incantation every time you must circumvent this "patch" by using Revelio then basic cast after you use Alohomora.

A note regarding the Stand Up Straight mod

If you use the Stand Up Straight mod, please update to version 2. 0 of that mod, otherwise it will interrupt the wand-cast animation.

Introduction

This is new a version of my Skip Alohomora mod, but it uses a different method to achieve the same thing. The original version used a "master key" function inside the game to set the lock to open automatically, but the actual opening was done by the game. The mod was therefore in a race to implement the master key before the game opened the lock. For most people the mod won that race and the mod worked fine. But for a few people the mod always lost the race so the mod didn't work. I suspect this is because different hardware configurations process some things faster than others. This mod uses a new method which doesn't suffer from this "race condition" problem, so it should work for everyone. The only down side is that you can no longer use the default "interact" button (usually "F" for keyboard users) to open locks. You must use a different key. I've set it to F9 by default but you can change this.

If you like the original Skip Alohomora mod and would like to keep using it, but find that it occasionally fails, you can have both that mod and this one installed. Then you can use F to open most locks or F9 if that fails.

Installation

You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex (the
