Like the title says, SphereII and Xyth missed the Skyrim style lockpicking mini game so they introduced it into the WinterWeen mod. It was well received, so Xyth is releasing a mod of the locks that work with the lockpicking code added to SphereII’s Core.
The difficulty of the locks is configurable in the core, but it set to offer a challenge but not be impossible for folks that didn’t master lockpicking in Skyrim. To pick a lock, press “E” on any locked door or chest. A lock will appear, and you must guess the position of the top lockpick by moving it with the arrow keys or mouse. Once you think you have the position, press the spacebar to turn the lock. The locks are tied into the perk system and the inventory system, so you will need lockpicks in your inventory. Each perk level into lockpicking make it less likely you will break a pick, and reduced the time between attempts. However, they randomized lock difficulty so any one can be really hard or almost too easy.
This mod contain some purchased assets and code, so while you may use or include this mod in you game or overhaul, you cannot make edits to the models or code without purchasing your own copy of the assets from the Unity store. It’s cheap though 🙂
If this mod is popular they may add additional features in A21. Please let him know if its too hard or too easy for you.
Thanks to Mumpfy for adding the branding to the lock textures!
Turn EAC Off when using this mod!
Installation
0-SCore mod is REQUIRED, as it has the code for the locks to work.
Changelog
- (new) Xyth uploaded a new version for testing. The old A21 version still works, but this new version includes a potential fix for the overwriting texture bug found on previous versions.

For some reason i get some errors from the game about the 0-Score mod and i guess whatever is breaking is keeping the lockpicking minigame mod from working, I just downloaded the most recent version of the 0-Score mod which was put out 4 hours ago.
heres some screenshots of the errors

Does this mod also work on locks where we normally can’t use lockpicks?
No, unless you’ll add the mod that allows the doors to be picklocked I suppose.
Get error when trying this mod.
Did you update the gitlab mirrors page?
0-SCore is version 21.2.205.1412 on gitlab
0-SCore is version 1.0.46.1010 on github
Can you update gitlab to current version? I think that’s the cause of the error. Can’t post html code so can’t post error.
The link is already Github. Download it again.
Im looking for a version that only allows all doors to be unlocked. So it can be server side only. Anyone?
Been using this mod for a week and in the last 2 days ive noticed a black square that would rotate and come at you in the lockpick mini game blocking the screen, but it would go away after a few seconds. now when i play the minigame a asphalt type texture completely obscures the minigame so you cant see anything
Working great with 21.2 (b37)
One issue of sorts though – I’m not sure if it’s your mod, or the S Core mod, but it seems to change how tall you are when you crouch. You can now squeeze into one-block high gaps, where you couldn’t before. I didn’t necessarily want that changed, but it’s not the end of the world.
It works perfectly, I only have a problem when it comes to repairing or improving structures, it doesn’t let me
I have both mods installed and EAC off, but it doesn’t work at all.
does this mod have controller support now? I used another one like this before on the Undead mod.
Works great!
But, is there a way to customize stuff?
Like sensitivity of the mouse movement(very low sens atm), Difficulties(It is way too easy atm I believe, prob 30degree for sweet spot range)
OMFG! essential mod for the game it also revitalize gameplay experience
What is the supposed installation location of the 0-SCore ?
Yes!!! It’s back!!! Thank you!!
Please Update this mode. I need the mod as a guy who love skyrim and lockpicking in game.
I installed both the Lockpicking mod and the 0-SCore mod, but it didn’t work in the game.
Can you try to make an alternate version that is independent of the other mod?
Anyway the to disable this lock picking mechanic? It’s clucky and feels terrible.
Any way to add experience for lockpicking?
Works great now and makes lockpicking interesting! With practice and a point in lockpicking, you can sometimes get in with a single lockpick. No more of that vanilla countdown nonsense plus with some luck you can get in much faster.
I’m on A20 stable b238, and I’ve opened 2 wall safes and 1 gun safe so far. There was nothing inside any of them. The “action” is great, using the arrow keys and spacebar, the mouse (I don’t even remember if that was recommended as an option) gives weird positioning.
It’s a great mod, just needs tweaked.
if i lockpick a chest with this mod, there is always nothing inside, and if i destroy it, there is loot.
i’ve tried this quite often, but its every time the same. In addition, i can move the pick with my mouse, which completely disorient the lockpicking position i have to set, to unlock the lock
Hey guy i dont want to have to download all of your mods, can you make the lockpicking seperate from the rest on your github?
