Not a Sneak Thief 1.1


About This File

This is a simple mod that stops the guards from calling your character a sneak thief simply because you have leveled sneak past 30. I found this comment from the guards to be very immersion breaking when playing lawful characters, who may sneak when hunting or even when adventuring but have never stolen anything. My simple solution was to remove the sneak skill check from this dialog topic so the guards will only call you a sneak thief if you have leveled pickpocket.

 

I also switched the skill check for "Go fiddling with any locks around here, we're going to have a real problem." from lock picking to pickpocket, since many lawful characters may pick locks in dungeons, but don't pick locks town or undertake any unlawful activities. These types of accusatory comments seem out of place when playing lawful characters. With Not a Sneak Thief installed, guards will only make these types of accusatory comments if your character has leveled pickpocket.

 

I have also increased the level requirement from 30 to between 35 and 75 for all 19 guard dialog topics that are based on character skill. So, for instance, a guard won't comment that he's "heard about you and your honeyed words" when your speech skill is only 30. Now you won't hear that remark until your speech skill reached 75.

 

I also passed through all USLEEP fixes for these dialog topics. Since this mod only changes the skill check conditions for 19 dialog topics it should be safe to install or uninstall at any time. It should be loaded high in your load order, right after any unofficial patches so that it won't conflict with any other mod.

 

EDIT: New version released!

 

Some people wanted the "fiddling with any locks" dialog topic to remain triggered by the lockpicking skill, so I released Version 1.1. You can use either version 1.0 or version 1.1, depending on your preference.

 

Version 1.1 contains only two changes from version 1.0:

 

1. The dialog conditions for "Go fiddling with any locks around here, we're going to have a real problem." was changed back to lockpicking (skill 50), and an additional condition was added so this dialog topic only triggers if the PC has stolen 25 or more items.

 

2. The dialog conditions for "I know your kind, always sneaking about." was changed from pickpocket to sneak (skill 50) and an additional condition was added so this dialog topic only triggers if the PC has stolen 25 or more items.
