📋 About This Mod
Inquisitive Guards
This mod makes town guards aware of sneaking player's (If they're close enough). The guards will either follow the player for x amount of time depending on the player's Sneak skill level or confront the player via dialogue. Thus making it harder to pickpocket/ steal in broad daylight in the towns.
After being satisfied that the player means no harm they will resume their patrol duties.
Time calculation == ( 100 - Sneak Skill) /3
Thus, the lower level your sneak skill is, the longer the guard will follow you.
10 towns are covered by this mod.
This mod is compatible with Morrowind Rebirth 5 and most other town mods.
Will work with other guard mods providing they do not add scripts to the guards.

Inquisitive Guards makes town guards in 10 towns track sneaking players for a duration based on sneak skill, and they may confront the player through dialogue. Compatible with Rebirth, this gameplay mod adds a new layer of challenge for stealth-focused players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a fresh challenge for stealth players—no more free sneaking in towns.
- Covers 10 towns, so it's not just a one-city gimmick.
- Compatible with Rebirth, so modded playthroughs can use it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might be outdated for current game versions.
- Only 60 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with a small following.
For stealth players who want more risk and immersion when sneaking in towns. Also for Rebirth users looking to expand gameplay. Skip if you prefer simple, unbothered sneaking or if you're on a newer game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Rebirth, make sure to load this mod after Rebirth to ensure compatibility.
- Test your sneak skill level in a town to see how long guards follow you—adjust your playstyle accordingly.
- Use dialogue options to your advantage; sometimes talking your way out is better than running.
