📋 About This Mod

A simple interface mod to remove some of the unnecessary clutter in the lockpicking menu. I highly recommend to use this mod with Lockpick graduation by Lilyu. An optional version with pick health displayed is available.
INSTALLATION: Extract \"lockpickingmenu.swf\" to the Data\\Interface folder in your Skyrim directory. DE-INSTALLATION: Remove \"lockpickingmenu.swf\" from the Data\\Interface folder in your Skyrim directory. KNOWN ISSUES: Pick health does not reset to 100% after breaking a lockpick. Damaging a lockpick will make it start updating again. CHANGELOG: Version 1. 20 - Better spacing Version 1. 10 - Fixed font issue - Added version with Pick Health Version 1. 0 - Initial Upload CREDITS: SkyUI Team for their decompiled UI sources
