📋 About This Mod
Description:
Expands the vanilla trespassing mechanic to make NPCs warn and follow the player around if they are in a restricted area. Examples include behind the counter of most vendors or "personal" areas like the second floor of Mick and Ralphs (there is no reason for a customer to be up there). Inspired by a similar feature in FNVGO. So far, edited areas include Goodsprings General Store (behind the counter), Prospector Saloon (behind the counter & in the office), Vikki and Vance (safe room), Primm Mojave Express (living area), Mojave Outpost Barracks (behind the counter), Quarry Junction Mess Hall (behind the counter & back room), Dino-Dee-lite Front Desk (behind desk), Silver Rush (behind the counter, near locked door that leads upstairs, bathroom area), Miguel's Pawn Shop (behind counter), Mick & Ralphs (behind counter, upstairs), Big Horn Saloon (behind counter, Ike's room), Klamath Bob's Liquor Store (behind counter), and the New Vegas Medical Clinic (behind counter).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a layer of realism for immersive players who want consequences for sneaking into off-limits areas.
- Community-approved with 242 endorsements and over 54k downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
- Lightweight and focused; doesn't bloat your load order with unnecessary changes.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal—if you don't care about trespassing mechanics, this won't change your game much.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter vendor AI or settlement boundaries—test carefully.
For Fallout 4 players who enjoy immersive roleplay and want theft to feel riskier. If you're a stealth character who loves looting every corner, this mod will make you think twice. Skip if you prefer a more forgiving sandbox experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod tweaks vanilla behavior, it's best to load it after other gameplay overhauls to ensure compatibility.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement—manual install is fine too, but mod manager makes uninstalling easier.
- Test near a vendor in Diamond City to see the new trespassing zones in action before relying on it in survival mode.
