📋 About This Mod
Requested by randolph_sykes. This mod allows you to bypass locks with explosives, as long as your Explosives skill matches or exceeds the difficulty of the lock. Just equip an explosive, crouch, then activate the locked door or chest as normal, and select Explosive Entry.
New in version 2. 0, I've included an ini file so you can enable or disable the XP reward and item destruction.
ITEM DESTRUCTION
When enabled, this has a chance of destroying some of the items in containers that you blow open. It won't destroy quest items or notes though.
Simple Explosive Entry lets players use explosives to bypass locks, adding a destructive alternative to lockpicking. With 1,496 endorsements and 47,690 downloads, it's a popular utility mod for those who prefer brute force. Last updated in 2019, it remains a straightforward gameplay tweak.
