📋 About This Mod
Show Pickpocket Success Rate
Adds a note at the bottom of the pickpocket menu indicating the pickpocket success rate for the highlighted item.
Pickpocket success is guesswork, and while that is inherently realistic, it is unfortunately part of the problem with pickpocket in general -- a game mechanic whose shortcomings cause most players to reload their save. This mod is intended to soften the blow by letting the player know whether pickpocketing a target is going to be worth it for them, or whether they're better off waiting until they've raised Sneak a bit more.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 582 endorsements and over 17k downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
- Does exactly what it says: shows the success rate right where you need it, no clutter.
- Last updated in 2019, but for a UI tweak like this, it's likely still works fine with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—may be incompatible with the latest Skyrim version or other UI mods.
- Only affects the pickpocket menu; if you're looking for broader UI improvements, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who enjoy thieving and want to avoid failed pickpocket attempts. It's a must-have for stealth characters who rely on pickpocketing for gold and items. Skip if you never pickpocket or if you're using a comprehensive UI overhaul that already shows this info.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just drag and drop the mod into your manager and activate it—no manual file placement needed.
- Make sure to check if your other UI mods (like SkyUI) are compatible, as they might override the pickpocket menu.
- Test the mod on a save with a high pickpocket skill to see the success rate display in action.
