About this mod
SKSE plugin that slows down (or speeds up) the lockpick on the lockpicking screen to allow more accurate control.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
If you use mods that make picking locks more of a challenge you might find that the vanilla lockpicking interface is quite inaccurate as it jumps a small distance no matter how slowly you move the mouse. In lack of any configuration settings I wrote a small SKSE plugin to allow more smooth adjustments.
What does it do?
It slows down the lockpick by a configurable factor, allowing you more precise control at the cost of speed or vice versa. Version 2 adds the option to change the factor depending on your Lockpicking (or equivalent) skill.
Does it conflict with ...?
- Generally No: The mod is extremely simple and should only conflict with another SKSE plugin that does exactly the same thing (I am not aware of any).
- PerMa, SkyRe, any mod repurposing the Lockpicking skill: The optional skill dependent speed mode will not make sense. For PerMa and SkyRe there is an option to use the Pickpocket skill (Dexterity/Fingersmith) instead. If a mod you would like to use this with replaces Lockpicking with yet another skill, let me know and I will add another option.
What does it require?
- The latest version of 32bit Skyrim (not compatible with SSE)
- Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)
How do I change ...?

Data\SKSE\slower_lockpick.ini, which also has comments explaining each setting.Spoiler:
The settings are only read once on game start. Any errors are written in detail to the log file (see Why doesn't it work? below).
How do I (un)install it?Show
lockpickSpeed: The factor that is multiplied with vanilla lockpick speed; 0.05 by default. This setting is not used if the next setting is true.useSkillDependentLockpickSpeed: If set to true lockpick speed will change depending on your Lockpicking (or equivalent) skill. If set to false the following settings are ignored.usePickpocketSkill: If set to true the mod will use the Pickpocket skill instead of the Lockpicking skill. If you use PerMa/SkyRe this should be activated to scale based on on Dexterity/Fingersmith instead of Wayfarer.lockpickSpeedAt0Skill, lockpickSpeedAt100Skill: Change the speed for skill values of 0 or 100 respectively. Other values are linearly interpolated. Keep in mind that vanilla characters start with a skill value of at least 15.lockpickSpeedMinimum, lockpickSpeedMaximum: Any values outside of this speed range will be clipped to the appropriate min/max value. Mostly intended for uncapper users to keep the lockpick from becoming tediously slow.The settings are only read once on game start.

If you don't see any effect in your game make sure you meet the requirements and take a look at the log file in
Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SKSE\slower_lockpick.log. The log will warn you if the mod can't read the number you have entered or the Skyrim version is not compatible. If everything is ok the last line of the log should read "ready" and there should be no errors listed.Can I use this for ...? (Permissions)
