✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 324 endorsements and over 6,400 downloads
  • Simple, focused tweak that makes lockpicks feel like a real commodity
  • Works for both Special Edition and likely classic Skyrim (based on category)

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with newer mods that alter leveled lists
  • Only affects merchants and citizens; lockpicks from other sources (e.g., dungeons) remain unchanged
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that modify the same leveled lists, requiring load order care
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a more survival-oriented economy where lockpicks are rare and valuable. If you're tired of having hundreds of lockpicks by level 10, this mod adds a bit of challenge. Skip if you prefer convenience or use mods that overhaul merchant inventories.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this and let it overwrite any conflicting leveled list mods.
  • Place this mod early in your load order to ensure other mods that add lockpicks to lists don't re-add them.
  • Pair with a mod that makes lockpicks break more often for a harder lockpicking experience.
