📋 About This Mod
Current Version: 1. 00
Super Simple Lock Bash adds the ability to bash open locked doors and chests. This mod was designed to be as simple as possible and to fit into the vanilla Skyrim experience.
Requirements
There are currently no prerequisites or patches required.
Overview
To bash a lock, attack it with your weapon or your fists. If you succeed, the lock will open. If you fail, the lock will remain closed. If it is impossible to bash open a lock, you will get a warning message.
Success is based on your level, weapon skill, the weapon material, the lock difficulty and luck. You get better at bashing locks when you level up, increase your weapon skill, or use a stronger weapon.
Bashing locks in a dungeon is noisy and may alert near by enemies. Bashing locks in a shop is a crime and the store owner may alert the guards.
