Hello mate, great mod but apparently i can't lockpick vehicles though i have bobby pins and screwdriver in my inventory, selecting lockpick in radial menu and nothing happens, looks like screwdriver or bobby pins are not being detected in the inventory somehow.
Probably a mod conflict, mods i'm using that (i guess) might be involved:

- Tidy Up Meister
- QOL - Equipment window
- Shark and Cytt's Kentucky Car Overhaul
- Attach Items to Backpacks (build 41)

Tomorrow i'll do some more testing on crowbars and hotwiring, will let you know if anything else pops out

Are you aware of any incompatibilities?

EDIT: Already tried to move it at the bottom of loading order

Not sure about incompatibility, but strange thing with screwdriver or bobbypin... check it... but... i'm sure its should work...
May be your screwdriver on belt or attached on backpack?

I do not know why, but the mod has stop working on my save. Do not spawn lock picking magazines, bobby pins and no profession

ALL YOUR PROBLEMS BE TESTED.
1) Triggering screwdrivers and crowbars from backpacks and inventory - work fine.
2) Vehicles doors - if they have broken lock - they can't be open with bobbypin, only with crowbar.
-Oppened doors with crowbar have a Broken lock status.
-Doors with broken lock status can't be lockpick with bobbypin.
-You can sit and leave from car if you push closes on driver seet and if it have broken lock, but unlocked with crowbar.
Work fine.
3) Doors, windows, vehicles doors, trunks - work fine.

Tidy Up Meister i think, most likely embedded in the script to return the item to where it was.

Did you replace the original burglar profession with this one? It seems like if I'm using a mod that disables the burglar profession, it stays anyway, like the New Age Professions mod.

-Detection of items in the inventory/backpack
I like this feature but it's not like what I thought.
Stand in front of a locked trunk of a car, press V and select lockpicking with crowbar. The action begins with pulling out crowbar from my backpack and equipping it, then it stops. I have to press V and select again to start lockpicking.
I don't know if it's a bug or by design.
Anyway, it would be very nice if you can merge it into one operation.

it's design. Small work-around for problem with animation navigate to doors

Hi,i asked for support for the multitool mod,i seems that when unlocking doors multitool is always used however when unlocking cars Screwdriver is always selected...anychance to see what;s going on?

I've found an odd error, when I unlock the fps of the UI (turning off the UI offscreen rendering) the crowbar lockpicking now goes at an ungodly speed where it's near impossible to do. It looks like its tied to the fps, is this possible to fix?

Also this second one may or may not be related but, when I craft handmade bobby pins (with paperclips) I'm unable to use them to pick locks? (Though they might be from another mod, I'm not sure)
when I try lockpicking vehicles or ISO containers nothing happens after the action bar runs out

To fix the super fast arrow in the crowbar lockpick mini game when you turn off the UI offscreen rendering, go to the crowbarwindow.lua and set "local arrowSpeed = 3" to "local arrowSpeed = 0.5" for some reason its set to "3" and thats why the arrow goes super fast.
