⚠️ Cons
- Overhauling lockpicking might conflict with other mods that alter the same system
- The squeeze-based mechanic may not appeal to players who prefer the classic minigame

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a UI overhaul, make sure to load it after other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, install it as a separate mod and check for patches if you have other lockpicking mods.
- Test lockpicking on a low-level lock first to get used to the new squeeze mechanic.
