📋 About This Mod
AMBSI is a simple mod that makes for increased realism. How would Belethor know if you stole a potion from some dead mofo in Winterhold? He wouldn't. Why would buying a stolen item be any different from buying an item you robbed a 300 yo corpse for? This mod simple makes all merchants fences.
AMBSI is a small Skyrim mod that makes all merchants buy stolen items, removing the fence-only restriction for realism. It has 1,044 endorsements and 22,502 downloads, last updated in 2014. Ideal for players who want to sell loot anywhere without hassle.
