✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves time and frustration when you're in a tight spot and need to pick a lock fast.
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole interface.
- Still maintained (updated April 2024) and has a small but active following (35 endorsements).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 35 endorsements — niche mod, might not be battle-tested by the wider community.
- If you use Morrowind Mouse Control, you must update to v1.3.4+ or it'll break.
- No screenshots or detailed description — you're flying blind on what the menu looks like.
For Morrowind players who are tired of rummaging through their inventory every time they need a lockpick or probe. If you're a thief or explorer who constantly switches tools, this is a quality-of-life win. Skip if you rarely use security skills or prefer a more immersive inventory management.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Morrowind Mouse Control, update to v1.3.4+ before installing Quick Security to avoid conflicts.
- Test the mod in a safe area first to see how the selection menu works with your current UI setup.
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to load it after other UI overhauls to avoid layout clashes.
