📋 About This Mod
What it (should) do:
-
[]Guards don’t instantly appear anymore, unless someone saw the crime nearby.
[
]If no one saw it, nothing happens.[]If someone sees it, guards somehow know — but don’t chase you unless they were close nearby.
[]Fewer guards respond to crimes in general.
[]Horses don't snitch!
-
[]Drop the file into: Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data Folder
[]add "CrimeTweaks.esp" into the "plugins.txt" file and save.
[]Done
What I actually changed:
-
[]iCrimeAlarmRecDistance to 200 (they only react to closely committed crimes)
[
]fCrimeAlarmRespMult - lesser reaction to crimes[]iNumberGuardsCrimeResponse - less guards for crimes
[]fCrimeDispPickpocket - how badly people hate you for pickpocketing (So they shouldnt instantly want to kill you)
[]fCrimeSoundBase - how far alarm calls can be heared
[]Horses Responsibility to 0 (they wont snitch)
Disclaimer:
I have no idea what I’m doing. This is my first mod ever, made using an old Oblivion modding
tutorial and a whole lot of guessing.
It's experimental!
Let me know if it breaks something. Or don’t. I probably can't fix it.
Enjoy, and good luck staying out of jail.
Crime Tweaks is a small gameplay mod for Oblivion that adjusts the crime system so guards only react when they are nearby, preventing instant alerts across the map. It's for players who want a more forgiving crime experience without overhauling the entire game.
