✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves time and frustration by skipping the lockpicking minigame for unbreakable locks.
- Community-approved with 606 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have the Unbreakable perk or the Skeleton Key, so early game it's useless.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter lockpicking mechanics or perks.
For Skyrim players who have invested in the Lockpicking tree or obtained the Skeleton Key and want to skip the tedious minigame. Perfect for stealth characters who hate lockpicking. Skip if you enjoy the lockpicking minigame or want more complex lockpicking overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Unbreakable perk (Lockpicking 100) or the Skeleton Key before expecting auto-pick to work.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and enable it; load order rarely matters for such a small mod.
- Since it's compatible with Simply Knock, you can use both without issues, but always check for updates if you have other lockpicking mods.
