📋 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.
