📋 About This Mod
Pickpocketing normally maxes out at a 90% chance meaning you always have a 10% chance of failure. This mod changes the maximum chance to a higher amount depending on which plugin you use.
Pickpocketing Chance Caps is a small gameplay mod for Skyrim that raises the maximum pickpocketing success chance above the vanilla 90% cap. It offers multiple plugin options to set different caps, giving players more control over thievery reliability. Ideal for stealth-focused players who dislike the guaranteed 10% failure rate.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,490 endorsements) — this is a proven fix for a common annoyance.
- Simple and effective: removes the frustrating 10% failure floor for pickpocketing.
- Multiple plugin choices let you tailor the difficulty to your preference.
⚠️ Cons
- No specific cap values listed in the description — you'll need to check the files to see exact numbers.
- Last updated in 2011 — may not be compatible with the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks.
- Only affects the chance cap; doesn't change other pickpocketing mechanics like detection or gold weights.
For stealth players who are tired of failing pickpockets at 90% and want a more reliable thieving experience. Also for modders who want a lightweight tweak without overhauling the whole skill. Skip if you prefer the risk or want a more comprehensive stealth overhaul.
