Real-time lockpicking and new Security skill perks!
- Requirements

Modern Security Overhaul replaces the lockpicking minigame with real-time lockpicking. Pick locks in real-time by activating locked doors and containers. The chance of success depends on your skill and attributes. Attempts have a short cooldown that decreases as your Security skill increases. Failed attempts break a pick, which is mitigated by perks and the Skeleton Key.
Want to unlock doors as a warrior without needing to invest in thief skills? Use Modern Lock Bash.
PERKS
Novice: When you fail to pick a lock, you break a lockpick.
Apprentice: When you fail to pick a lock, you have 50% chance to keep your lockpick.
Journeyman: You find more gold in picked chests.
Expert: You receive a wax copy of a picked lock's key, if one exists.
Master: You can pick locks in the open without being noticed.
SKELETON KEY
The Skeleton Key functions as usual, it is unbreakable and fortifies your Security skill by 40 levels. Unlike vanilla some locks will still be too difficult to pick without training, and you can keep training until level 100, giving you 140 levels in total.
OPEN SPELLS
Using Open spells in the open will now alert guards.
THE GUTS
The chance of successfully picking a lock is Security + Agility / 5 + Luck / 10 - LockLevel percent. This is identical the Morrowind formula.
The cooldown between picking attempts is 3.0 - Security * 0.025 seconds.
INSTALLATION
Put the .esp in the Data folder and enable it with your favorite mod manager.
Let Menus\lockpick_menu.xml overwrite whatever is already there, if any (only if you use a UI overhaul mod).
