📋 About This Mod
Makes the Skeleton Key auto attempt lockpick always succeed. Can be merged into Bashed Patch, or another mod, as it's only a single script edit. UOP script changes forwarded.
Extremely simple mod to make the Skeleton Key auto-attempt lock picking always succeed. Like how it should've functioned in the vanilla game.
This was accomplished by a script edit to the skeleton key script which changes the game setting for fLockPickAutoBase from 45 to 100 so it always works. When the key is removed from your inventory it'll go back down to 45, which is the default.
If you have 2 Skeleton Keys, like if you got one in Morroblivion and have the normal one from Nocturnal in Cyrodiil, and you turn one over to Martin for the Blood of the Daedra quest this mod will still work.
