Author's note: this is an update to lStewieAl's No Lockpick Activate (SKSE) with support for newer Skyrim SE versions. That file's permissions allow users to reupload, modify, and convert it without permission so long as the mod is not opted in for donation points, and credit is given. If the original author would like to assume control of the latest version, they should message me, and I will take this mod down.

For Skyrim players who use Loot Menu and find the auto-opening inventory after lockpicking disruptive. Also for those who want doors to stay shut after picking. Skip if you don't use Loot Menu or prefer vanilla lockpicking behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via skse_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- Install Loot Menu first, then this mod, to ensure the integration works.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
