LE Projectile spell that opens locks

[darkdill]

I'm sure there must be at least one mod out there that lets you use the Open spell similar to past Elder Scrolls games, such that you cast it directly on a chest or door to unlock it (unless it requires a key). Unfortunately, with all the various spell mods out there, going through all the various mods would be a pain.

 

Does anyone know of a mod that does this?

Lock Overhaul has what you are looking. just have to enable the option via MCM

I've written a spell that opens locks, but it doesn't give a projectile at the target, what it does is target the self and applies a temporary perk which gives an unlock option similar to the Tower: Unlock standing stone. I know that technique works and is used by quite a few modders. an example of another's use of a similar spell would be found in the apocalypse spell package.

There are loads of spell packs that include Open as well as Levitate, Mark/Recall etc.

 

If you search the Nexus for "Open Lock" you'll find 8 mods. The most recently updated are:

Fantastic thing, that new-fangled search engine.

That first one is definitely what I'm looking for (it doesn't have range, but I guess it shouldn't). Only thing that I might want to alter for it is an extra script that causes you to sacrifice a lockpick every time you use the spell to unlock something (whether you succeed or not). That way, even if I'm a mage, I'd still have a reason to get lockpicks.
