Description

Simple Lockpicking (Customizable QTE System)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This mod is strictly designed for the LEGACY version of GTA V. It is NOT compatible with the Enhanced edition.

Simple Lockpicking gives GTA V’s stale car theft mechanics a long-overdue gameplay rework. No more instant glass-shattering or effortless hotwiring. Stealing a locked vehicle now triggers an active Quick-Time Event minigame where every second counts.

In vanilla GTA V, grabbing a parked car is completely effortless. Simple Lockpicking introduces real gameplay tension to vehicle theft. You must stay focused and hit your inputs clean. Screw up the timing, and you will waste precious seconds stuck on the sidewalk while cops or aggressive pedestrians close in on you.

Whether you want a casual timing minigame or an unforgiving test of split-second reflexes, the included ini config file lets you fine-tune keybindings, QTE speed, and difficulty scaling to suit your exact playstyle.

How To Play:

1. Approach a locked vehicle and press your entry key.
2. The QTE prompt will pop up on your HUD.
3. Hit the designated inputs within the timing window to pick the lock and get inside.
4. Fail the timing, and your character stumbles, extending the time you are exposed on the street!

Key Features:

Interactive QTE Minigame: Replaces default break-in animations with an active reflexes-based minigame.
Deep INI Customization: Adjust keybinds, QTE prompt speeds, failure penalties, and difficulty windows.
Remote Locking Support: Out-of-the-box support for R3QQ’s Vehicle Remote Central Locking. Player-owned vehicles remain properly locked with a key fob and won’t trigger lockpicking glitches.

Risk and Suspense: Keeps you vulnerable during theft attempts, making crime near cops or gang territories dangerous.
Performance Friendly: Clean code with zero impact on frame rates.

Upcoming Features:

In-car Hotwiring QTE: A second-stage minigame required to hotwire and start the engine after breaking in.
Native Integration: Built-in support for Added Traffic (by I’m Not MentaL & Starman0620).

Quick Setup:

1. Ensure Script Hook V and Script Hook V Dot Net are installed.
2. Unzip the download and drop SimpleLockpicking.dll, SimpleLockpicking.pdb and SimpleLockpicking.ini into your Grand Theft Auto V/scripts folder.
3. Launch the game and test your luck on the nearest parked car!
