Changelogs
Version 4.2
Reverted 4.1 changes - had the risk of causing hangups on slow systems. This does mean that you will have to restart the game to make config changes once more.
Updated for 1.6.629+
Version 4.1
Config file is now queried every lockpick break instead of just when the game starts, meaning that you can edit the perk without even closing the pick interface!
Version 4.0
Added support for a config file for a perk requirement. Default behavior is same as before. Edit RememberLockpickAngle.ini if you want to require a perk!
Version 3.1
Now updated for compatibility with and requires 1.6 Address Library. Still cross-compatible with 1.5!
Version 3.0
Updated for support with Skyrim Anniversary update. Anniversary version only requires SKSE. Still works on 1.5 with Address Library!
Version 2.0
Version independent. Now requires meh321's address library.
Version 1.2.1
Added support for runtime 1.5.97. Still works on previous versions; offsets didn't change.
Version 1.2
Updated for runtime 1.5.80, still supports 1.5.73!
Author's note: this is an update to OnlyIWeDo's Remember Lockpick Angle with support for newer Skyrim SE versions. That file's permissions read, "Anyone is free to redistribute this mod and/or host it on other sites." If the original author would like to assume control of the latest version, they should message me, and I will take this mod down. Source code available on my Github.
The Problem
When you break a lock-pick in vanilla, the new lock-pick will be placed at the default angle which can make finding your last attempt pretty difficult, especially on higher difficulty locks and if you don't use a better interface texture to help gauge the angle.
The Solution
Now when you break a pick, the new one will be placed at the same angle as the last one when it broke. This removes the tedium of finding the position of the last attempt.
Installation
MO2/Nexus/Vortex: Install like any other mod Manual: Pop it into your Skyrim SE Data folder
Configuration
If you would like your player's amnesia treatments to be postponed until after they've gained a perk, you now can! Edit SKSE\Plugins\RememberLockpick.ini. By default, it will look something like this:
modName should be the file corresponding to the first 2 (or 5 for ESL) digits of the address - so if it is injected into Update.esm (01) you would use Update.esm, or if it is an override of a vanilla perk (00) you would use Skyrim.esm. requiredPerk is the relative address of the PERK entry - everything in the address other than the mod index. ESL mod indices will be detected automatically, only add the relative address (last 3 digits).
Any detected errors will be output to My Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\RememberLockpickAngle.log, and you will be able to see there if it has found your perk successfully.
