Remember Lockpick Angle
Best Skyrim Mods of March 2019
Lockpicking is a crucial skill in Skyrim. While it’s pretty much against the law, you’ll be relying heavily on this skill for certain quests and dungeons. Not only can you use it to gain access to restricted locations, but you can also find items inside hidden rooms and chests.
This Skyrim mod, Remember Lockpick Angle, makes it easier to pick locks by remembering the last successful lockpicking angle you did. That way, you won’t have to fiddle around with your lockpick too much.
There could be a big chance that the next door or chest you’re trying to open might have the same combination as the last one. However, it’s worth noting that not all locks have the same combination, so you might still need to tweak your lockpicks ever so slightly.
Lockpick Smithing
Best Skyrim Mods of March 2019
Keeping in line with our first Skyrim mod, this lockpicking mod is perfect for those who don’t have a knack at unlocking doors and chests. Everyone’s broken their fair share of lockpicks, and you can’t pick any locks without it. If you find yourself low on supplies, you can try this Lockpick Smithing mod.
As the name implies, you’ll finally be able to create your own set of lockpicks. You won’t need to buy them from vendors or steal them from dungeons anymore.
One iron bar provides up to a whopping 100 lockpicks, so you’re pretty much set for your main adventure with this supply. Best of all, you can start making your lockpicks at the nearest forge.
Ore and Ingot Vendor
Best Skyrim Mods of March 2019
Skyrim has a ton of ores and ingots you can mine, which are used to craft or enhance your weapons. There’s no real easy way to get them since you’ll need to put your back into mining these precious minerals. If you’re not too keen on spending your time picking at rocks, you can add an ore and ingot vendor in the game.
This simple Skyrim mod places a vendor outside of Warmaidens in Whiterun. You can easily travel there and purchase any materials you’ve been missing instead of having to trot to the nearest mine. Since the vendor sells ingots, you won’t even need to smith them now either.
It’s a convenient mod that should have already been part of the base game, considering how there’s a shop for most of the materials in Skyrim.
Simple Scoped Crossbow
Best Skyrim Mods of March 2019
The crossbow is one of the more niche weapons in Skyrim. It’s the closest thing we’ll get to an actual firearm, but it also acts as a bow. The reload speed is what really kills the weapon, but it’s still pretty fun to use and packs quite a punch.
If you love using crossbows in Skyrim, this mod will make it easier to aim at your foes. Simple Scoped Crossbow mounts a tiny scope above your crossbow, letting you aim with more precision.
It’s worth noting, however, that the mod doesn’t actually change the weapon nor does it zoom in on your foes. All it does is add an extra reticle for aiming, which still makes a big difference during combat.
Faster Weapon Swings
Best Skyrim Mods of March 2019
Each weapon has its own swing time, giving your enemy a chance to strike when you’ve missed your attack. It’s especially risky for those who love using two-handed weapons, as the swing speed bogs down your character. If the swing speed feels a bit slow for you, this mod is right up your alley.
Faster Weapon Swings pretty much does what it says, letting you speed up your weapon speed for both one-handed and two-handed weapons. Apart from tinkering with your own speed, you can also change how fast or slow your enemies can attack. This is a great mod for beginners who still haven’t grasped Skyrim’s combat just yet.
