This mod uses the F4SE plugin to manipulate the game code to make hacking and lockpicking instantly successful. Since only the unlocked successes are changed, companions will still react to these actions as usual. Since the mod only contains a DLL file, there is no problem installing or removing the mod during gameplay.
This mod does not work on next-gen versions of the game.
1.1 version update:
Added a config file to limit the hacking and lockpicking perks players receive. Instructions are provided at the bottom of this page.
Once the mod is installed, you can attempt to hack any lock regardless of difficulty. "Inaccessible" lock cannot be unlocked. In the hacking screen, simply selecting any string will instantly result in a successful hack.
Lockpicking works similarly — if the lock isn't marked as inaccessible, you can try to unlock it, and the lock will be picked immediately upon selection.
After testing, I (original author dnfrealtec, the same below) thought the default behavior of doors and containers opening automatically when unlocked was awkward, so now they will unlock without opening automatically.
If you feel that unlocking everything by default provides too many advantages, you can keep the automatic unlocking process but limit unlock attempts based on the player's perks, just like in the original. As shown in the screenshot above, find and open the mod file in the InstantHackingAndLockpicking.ini folder. Then enter 0 or 1 as per the comment. The default value is 1, which will unlock without any restrictions.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
