Mod to swap in Skyrim lockpicking

[SentosKarum]

Oblivion lockpicking has zero contextual clues what the sweet spots are. Zero. None. I don't mind a minigame but I would like it to be an actual game, where you can learn the rules and git gud.

Therefore, simple question: Is there a mod to replace Oblivion's lockpicking with Skyrims?

[Slender]

you cannot be serious lol

[SentosKarum]

Why not? Having never played Oblivion before the Remaster I hold zero nostalgia for it's mechanics and the lockpicking one is just a trash fire. Neither is Oblivion the only game that features that style of lockpicking minigame and none of made them into anything remotely as skill based as we would get with Skyrim.

Give me 10 lockpicks in Skyrim and I have every confidence of cracking a master level lock. With this system? 40+ for a an average one and as the player I took away nothing from that waste.

Just get the skeleton key and you never need to care again.

There is no sweet spot, you click when the tumbler reaches the top.

There are also sound clues to when the tumbler shoots up fast or goes up slow.

As you get higher with lockpick, less tumblers fall when you screw up and they go up slow more often. And you can get the skeleton key at level 10 which is a lockpick that lasts forever and fortifies security so you can skip the game and just spam auto pick.

Also alteration has spells to open locks, so you don't ever need to lockpick.

I will say this games lock picking is an abomination.. If i do get any mods it will be the first thing i mod out..

Its the worst mini game ever.

Git gud. Just as it hits the top you lock it in place... thats all there is to it.

If you think you can't learn the "rules" of Oblivion lockpicking then you are doing it wrong, it is supposed to be very hard in the beginning but I find the difficulty scales well with how high your Security skill is. For me it's much more enjoyable than Skyrim's dumbed down way of doing it. Reaching around 85-90 in Security skill even Very Hard locks are doable without failing much.

Man, I suck at Oblivion lockpicking.

Maybe those people who can beat Souls-like games without taking a hit are good at it, people who are masters of timing.

Not me. Like SentosKarum said above, I can pick Skyrim locks with my own skill. Or any other game's locks, for that matter. Oblivion's are on another level.

As alternative you can use alteration spells, become an alteration master and you'll never have to hold lockpicks again.

In mages guilds. For hard lock you can find spell in Cheydinhal. For very hard lock you have to create it by yourself.

Bounce lock tumblers up until they begin to slowly fall, then you can lock them into place more easily. Is the tumbler falling really quickly? Let it fall completely and then bounce it again, it’s random whether it falls quickly or slowly. If it’s falling quickly, let it fall completely and then bounce it again, it’ll eventually turn into a slow falling tumbler and be simple to lock in.
