📋 About This Mod
What it does? Removes lock picking from game. When you try to open locked object then it's automatically picked. Doesn't work when it says "Requires Key" because it would break many quests. You still get skill points for opening the lock and you don't even need to carry a lock pick anymore.
How it works? Patches game code so that game thinks you have the key for the lock.
Why make it like this? There is no ESP and nothing is saved to save game. This allows you to safely install and uninstall mod whenever you want, also it doesn't count towards mod limit. Works with all other mods and custom stuff.
Requires SKSE and latest Skyrim version. Source code is also available to download.
