About this mod
Merges Lockpicking & Pickpocketing, with compatibility patches provided for the most popular perk mods.

- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Lockpicking and (especially) Pickpocket always felt lacking in the base game, and most perk overhauls don't really know what to do with them because there's little you can do to make them interesting.
This mod merge both skills into one, Thievery, which provide two benefits:
This mod requires SKSE.
Features
This mod merge both skills into one, Thievery, which provide two benefits:
- Reduces the perk cost to max both skills.
- Offer an empty skill that can be used by other mods to toy with. (A bit) redundant since the introduction of Custom Skills Framework but in the case of some skills (Unarmed, for example), it would feel better if that skill was integrated with other skills rather than being a standalone.
This mod requires SKSE.
Features
- Rename Pickpocket tree to 'Thievery', which is a merge of both Lockpicking and Pickpocket.
- Modifies some gamesettings so the Lockpicking has no influence in your ability to pick locks.
- Edit books in the vanilla game. A few skill books that boosted Pickpocket or Lockpicking are no longer skill books (This is to make sure that the new Thievery skill has exactly 5 skill books available, just like any other skill in the base game).
- Edit all Lockpicking trainer to train you in Thievery instead.
- Picking locks now boost your Thievery skill, breaking a lockpick doesn't.
- Enchantments and potions are still separate.
This mod currently does not provide a replacement for the unused Lockpicking tree.

- 90 - Percussive Maintenance - Your Hotwired Automaton moves 30% faster and attacks 20% faster. Hitting your Hotwired Automaton with a mace or warhammer repairs it 150 points (or 300 points on a power attack) and further increases attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds.
- 100 - Dragon Hoard - Whenever you sleep with 50000 or more gold in your inventory, you may choose to spend it to purchase a perk point.
- 100 - Dragon's Teeth - When placing a Bear Trap, you may choose to add an extra effect: Poison, Drain Magicka, Drain Stamina, Slow, Banish or Turn Undead. This effect is triggered when a victim is struck by the teeth and takes damage.
As you may have noticed, a few "useless" perks have been remove otherwise the tree would have been too cluttered: 'Wax Key,' 'You Saw Nothing', 'Robbed Blind' and 'Trained Rabbit'.
'The Revenge' has been made baseline.
'Game of Fate' removed because merging both trees already save a few perk points for thief characters, and 'Dragon's Hoard' provides more than enough perk points already.

Compatibility notes:
- Obviously incompatible with any perk tree mod unless a patch is provided. Three patches are currently available: Ordinator, Adamant and Vokrii. Load these mods first, then my mod and then the patch.
- This mod edits 3 NPCs from the base game (Ra'zhinda, Ma'jhad, Vex). You're free to let other mods override my changes, but they will not teach you Thievery anymore, and will revert to being trainers for the Lockpicking tree.
- This mod edits a few books (notably skill books) and their leveled lists. I took 5 books that boosted either Pickpocket or Lockpicking, and made them Thievery books, while the other 5 books were turned into normal books. Patches provided for Book Covers and Lost Library.
- Since picking locks is hardcoded to boost your Lockpicking skill (and I do not have the required skills to make an SKSE plugin for this), I edited most lockpicking related gamesettings to 0 and attempted to recreate their effect through perks. This means this mod must be put below any mod that edit these gamesettings (or make a patch for it).
Issues:
- The Lockpicking UI still display the Lockpicking skill rather than the Pickpocket skill. I don't really know anything about .swf files and have no idea what to change.
