Why people claim to have trouble with this, I'll never know.

But if it's really that big a deal, you don't even need mods to work around it. Alteration spells can pop locks right open for you, and once you hit level 10, this quest[en.uesp.net] will solve all your lock picking problems forever.

Same. I tried teaching my GF but she's just too impatient. Don't click if the tumbler jerks up, click if it slowly rises with the lockpick.

But yeah. The game alreay supplies you with lock hacks so I'm pretty sure a mod for it is rare or non-existant.

Just get skeleton key at level 10 or work on your alteration. I always do this :
Warrior - Skeleton key
Mage - open lock spells
Thief/Assassin - I buy as many lockpicks, as I can
If I am lazy or play as multiclass, I will again get skeleton key.

Wait for the lock to fall down near-instantaneously. The next time it will stay up the longest, so you click the next time.

Honestly, I LOVED the lockpick mechanic in the game. Once you know what to look for in how the tumblers move, you can pick any lock regardless of skill. Actually took skill, unlike that junk the Skyrim and FO3,NV, and I assume 4 use.

It takes ages to understand how it all works, those other games made it so player wont spend years on picking a lock

Does it? It's pretty simple
1. knock the lock up, when it moves slowly click when it's at the top
2. repeat for remaining

There are other options too if you find this too complicated, there is an auto attempt which uses your characters skills instead of player skill like the pre-oblivion games did, there are unlock spells too which is just a simple cast and open.

Auto attempt also takes ages

What heresy is this?! Are you using Skyrim default controls, and not Oblivion's?

Activation on space is dumb. E is superior.
