This Standalone version of the Common Sense mod includes only the new gameplay mechanic of prying open doors, windows, garages, vehicles, etc. using crowbars!
How does it work?
Have a crowbar on you, and you can now pry stuff open! Just right click a locked door, window, garage door, etc. or hold "V" to open the radial menu near a vehicle and you will see an option to pry it open.
The mod takes into account multiple factors such as your character's strength, profession, and more, to decide if you will succeed or not. Trying to pry something open will tire your character, and if you fail at trying it on a window, it may even shatter its glass!
F.A.Q
Does it work in Multiplayer?
Of course it does!
Does it work on existing saves?
Absolutely!
Is the mod compatible with [...]?
This mod shouldn't have any incompatibility with other mods, but if it does, let me know.
Why this mod?
A considerable number of people just wanted this mechanic so here it goes. However, if you have Common Sense installed and are happy with it, there's no need to have this. This mechanic will be updated in both mods every time it's changed.
