📋 About This Mod
Implements minimum requirements of lockpicks to pick locks as well as a simple lock bashing system. OBSE 14 required.
This mod is outdated and is now maintained within SupreMe Overhaul
SM Security - Requires OBSE 17
------------------------------
This is a personal mod created for making lockpicks much more useful and a way to bash locks for the warrior players.
Effectivly i found lock picking too easy and never lost lockpicks even when using other mods to cover up the lock picking game. What this mod do is require you to use a certain number of lockpicks to get a feel for the lock and prepare it for picking.
Now i actually run out of lockpicks and this helps make security more useful. The skeleton key is unbreakable so obviously it allows you to examine locks without any lockpicks required at all, making the skeleton key a very useful tool for lockpickers.

This system is turned off by default when you go to jail due to only having a single lockpick. You can turn the system on while in jail using the ini.
Lock bashing
----------------------------------
As an extra feature i've included a OBSE lock bashing system that is 100% compatabile with all chests/doors except probrably other lock bashing mods. Primarily based on a old mod by scruggs. All you have to do is power attack locked items to bash the lock. A succesful bash will cause the locked item/door to flash.
There is a percentage chance based on your weapon skill and strength for a lock to break. The amount of damage you do with a weapon determines how much damage the weapon receives when it bashes a lock.
Note Blunt weapons are best at bashing. Blade weapons are second best. And using your fists is the worst. Using your fists to bash will also damage your own health. If you enable bashing in jail in the ini and you are skilled in handtohand skill you can effectivly try breaking down prison doors when thrown in jail.
Lock bashing will be detected as a crime so please dont break down some poor old shopkeepers celler door. You will just get in trouble.
On breaking the lock you will gain you some weapon skill
Compatability
- If you use OOO you cannot turn off its built in lock bashing system. Ensure its chests are not highlighted for its lockbashing when you bash as strange things might otherwise happen.
- One way to fix is if you use a version of harvest containers seperatly over the top of OOO all the vanilla chests will lose OOO's built in lockbash and traps. This will ensure better compatability when using this mod.
Configuration
----------------------------
The ini allows you to configure all
