Skyrim easy lockpick mod how to#

Here is a demonstration on how to successfully pick a lock: It takes some practice, and obviously putting points in lockpicking will facilitate your efforts and even keep the picks from breaking. If the lock gives, be sure to turn the lock slowly because you might hit another pin that won't budge, at which point you need to adjust the pick just slightly to open the lock. It's wise to wiggle the lock a bit to find the sweet spot and adjust the pick from that baseline. Apply too much force too fast on the lock and the feeble pick will snap. That is, move the pick around and then using attempting to move the lock. Once you've committed to picking a lock, you enter a zoomed in view of what you're trying to do. In order to pick locks, you need to have one-time use (preferably large quantity of) lockpicks. As you progress in your adventure, you soon encounter more fortified locks that require a greater precision and understanding of this crafty art to get past. At first, you are thrown novice and apprentice level locks for you to practice on.

A lot of the time, though, your indiscriminate looting-whoring can be thwarted by locks (on chests or on doors) that require a certain degree of lockpicking mastery to pry open.

Skyrim, being the game that it is, places major emphasis on pillaging and looting.
