📋 About This Mod

Do you like to be a good Dragonborn?

Do you forget to check on your stats?

Have you found that you murdered someone but don't know when?

Bad Dragonborn!

But now, you can get an instant message when you transgress, and then simply travel back in time and NOT murder anyone!

note: Skyrim is a little inconsistent in what it considers an assault or murder; especially compared to real life.  My mod uses the Story Manager events 'KillActorEvent' and 'AssaultActorEvent', without these being sent to the Storymanager my mod doesn't kick in.  From testing it seems you cannot assault or murder giants, mammoths, wolves or mudcrabs - I suspect there are others.

You can assault deer and foxes but not 'murder' them.

Bandits I have one shotted from afar when there were no red dots in the compass and no assault or murder seemed to be registered.

The mod reports that either you or a follower committed a murder since if you assault a person and the follower applies the killing blow, that is a murder in your stats.

I've never seen a follower initiate an assault.

Your murder stats in the game include any murders for which you did not incur a bounty, or for which you removed the bounty by killing all the witnesses.

There is no message box option for assaults, since I don't think it is possible to play the game without committing those, and in close quarters there could be too much pausing by accidentally hitting actors nearby.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Diziet's Murder Notification is a lightweight gameplay mod for Skyrim that alerts you the moment you or a follower commit a murder or assault, using Story Manager events. It helps players who want to avoid accidental kills or track their stats. Note that some creatures like giants and wolves aren't detected.

✨ Key Features

Instant on-screen notification when you or a follower commits a murder or assault.
Uses Story Manager events (KillActorEvent and AssaultActorEvent) for detection.
No message box for assaults to avoid excessive pausing in close quarters.
Reports murders even if you didn't incur a bounty or killed witnesses.
Lightweight mod with 34 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a notification when you murder someone.
  • Community-tested with 34 endorsements and 7,444 downloads, so it's proven to work for a niche audience.
  • Handy for roleplayers who want to avoid accidental kills or track their murder count without checking stats.

⚠️ Cons

  • Detection is inconsistent—giants, mammoths, wolves, and mudcrabs don't trigger it, so you might miss some kills.
  • Bandits one-shotted from afar may not register if no red dots are on the compass, leading to false negatives.
  • No assault message box means you won't get notified for assaults, only murders—could be a letdown if you wanted full tracking.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to keep their murder stats clean or roleplay a good Dragonborn and need instant feedback. Also useful for completionists tracking every kill. Skip if you want comprehensive crime tracking—this only covers murders and has detection gaps.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Skyrim's Script Extender (SKSE) installed, as many mods like this rely on it for event handling.
  • Test with a quick save before relying on it—kill a bandit and see if the notification pops up, since detection can be finicky.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it there to keep your load order clean.
