OVERVIEW
Hacking now has stakes! Failing to hack a terminal will now up the security of that terminal by one tier.

Hacking in Fallout 4 is quite inconsequential and very easily cheesed. This mod gives hacking some tension and stakes, so you feel encouraged to take your time and make proper guesses.
Terminals will only lock "up" if you have made a previous guess in that terminal and exited early or failed the hack. After you unlock the terminal, it will return to normal.

PROGRESSION
Advanced Terminal -> Expert Terminal
Expert Terminal -> Master Terminal
Novice terminals are unaffected by default, as they are often essential for quest progression. However, there is an MCM setting to enable lockups for novice terminals, if you’re using a mod like Ultimate Hacking.

ESL-FLAGGED ESM | NO VANILLA EDITS | INSTALL AT ANY TIME | COMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING


BREAKDOWN
You can enable/disable the mod in the MCM, and toggle the message that is displayed upon a security increase.
This is compatible with Ultimate Hacking, the author suggests disabling the "Terminal Security Detection" setting in Ultimate Hacking if you are using both together.
That's about it, have fun!



NOTES
This mod has been tested on both versions and works on next-gen AND on last-gen. Ensure that you install the correct version of Garden of Eden Papyrus Script Extender for your game.
