Look at a locked door/container/terminal and press Z (or any key of your choosing by modifying Config/MinigameBypass.ini) to perform a skill check to unlock it!
Credit is due to Voidwalker's original Minigame Bypass mod! This is a modification on it that I put together for my own game, using version 2.0.0 of the mod.
My motivation for this is that I think the minigames aren't really necessary. The real difficulty and satisfaction comes from planning, equipping, and building your character to deal with locks in the first place! Hence why I'd rather the bobby pins be guaranteed to be consumed too -- it just adds that little bit more to planning and equipping your character for lockpicking, and makes bobby pins a lot more rewarding when you know each one corresponds to a lock cracked open.
Afterall, which part of unlocking the high-skill safe was the most fun? The part where you put to use your last bobby pin, skill magazine, and coyote tobacco chew to just barely meet the skill level; or the part where you played a minigame, and reloaded because you broke the pick?

- Activates the object after picking (as with regular unlocking).
