Description
ATTENTION
For multiplayer for work this mod need add also second mod "Profession framework b41" !!!



Description
- Adds the mechanics of breaking the locks of doors, windows and cars using a bobbypin or crowbar. Lockpicking is done with mini-games!
- Adds a mini-game of lockpicking ignition using wires. Also, the ignition lock can be broken with a bobbypin and a screwdriver.
- Adds the ability to check the alarms of home and cars
- Adds the "Lockpicking" skill.
- Adds the Lockpicking perk and expands the Burglar profession
Instruction
Alarm

To check the alarm, read the "Alarm for Dummies" magazine. Next, to check the house alarm, right-click on the window/door and select the menu item. To check the car alarm, select an item in the radial menu while standing at the car hood.
Lockpicking


- In order to start lockpicking you need to read the "Lockpicking for Dummies" magazine. To lockpick doors/windows, right-click on them and select lockpick. To break with a bobbypin, you need a bobbypin and a screwdriver. For breaking with a crowbar - a crowbar.
- Also, your skill level should match the difficulty level of the lock. I recommend pumping the skill on easy locks (starting with very easy ones).
- To hack a car, go to the door that you want to open and select an item in the radial menu. (the item will appear only if the door is locked)
- When breaking with a bobbypin, you can try to unlock the lock by force if you are in a hurry. But the chance of success is small.
- Mini-game lockpicking with a bobbypin - Similar to the logic of lockpicking from Fallout/Skyrim. You need to choose the desired angle of the bobbypin and turn the lock
- Mini-game breaking with a crowbar - You need to press the Space bar in time to open the door faster.
Ignition switch

- Mini-game finding 2 ignition wires - you need to find 2 wires from the lower wires and connect them.
- Now you can lockpick the ignition lock with a bobbypin (if your skill level matches the difficulty of the lock)
Items
- Lockpicking magazine
- Alarm magazine
- Bobbypin
- Homemade bobbypin (made from paper clips (You need a screwdriver for this!))



Play with pleasure :D

does this game still use the old profession framework? because the dev of profession framework said the new one is better.

Can't get the hotwiring minigame to show up - the game just defaults to the regular interaction. Is this a bug?
kurikinton 18 Jun @ 3:58pm 
Incidentally, you need to turn off the requirement for "Profession framework b41" because as you say, it's needed for MP, not SP, so this mod is unusable for SP unless you install the unneeded dependency. Which sucks.

by the way this mod has been supersede by zRe Better Lockpicking

@shiznitts bravens common sense is the anoyance, it overwrites many other mods, and decrease game functionality overall.
Is nice he tried to compress but his code overwrite many other mods regardless of load order.
Sugoii 25 May @ 11:18am 
can this be added on a existing server?
Shiznitts 22 Apr @ 10:37pm 
With Braven's Common Sense this mod is just an annoyance rather not dealt with. By the time your lockpicking is good enough to do anything you've already broken all the locks to whatever you were trying to get into which is just an entirely new problem akin to smashing a window. Real nice.
