I really liked the change from Thieves Guild for Good Guys which makes it so if you paid off the Riften citizens' debts, they become friendly to you.
Alas, Thieves Guild For Good Guys is pretty buggy and more or less abandoned, and isn't compatible with AYOP's Thieves Guild module.
This mod brings back that change to AYOP.
While AYOP does allow you to pay off their debts, they still have those nasty barks at you where they imply you still threatened or blackmailed them.
This mod changes those barks so they have conditions to only play if you threatened them.
Also, the three Riften citizens will become friends with you as well (relationship rank set to 1 if it's not already higher).
ESL-flagged.
A small patch for At Your Own Pace Thieves Guild that removes the reputation penalty from Riften citizens when you complete the 'Taking Care of Business' quest by paying off their debts. For players who want to be a good guy thief without the social consequences. 237 endorsements and frequent updates make it a reliable choice.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 237 endorsements and over 186k downloads.
- Fixes a specific annoyance for good-aligned thieves.
- Lightweight patch that doesn't overhaul anything else.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you pay off debts; if you choose the aggressive route, the patch does nothing.
- Requires the base AYOP mod, so it's not standalone.
- Compatibility with other Thieves Guild overhauls is uncertain.
For Skyrim players who use At Your Own Pace and want to play a morally upright thief without the guilt of making Riften hate you. If you're not using AYOP or you don't care about reputation, skip it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base AYOP Thieves Guild mod installed first, then overwrite with this patch.
- Load this patch after the base mod in your mod manager to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using other Thieves Guild mods, test early to see if they conflict.
