📋 About This Mod
UdtQB2Mysa4
This mod is a remade version of a previous and very outdated mod. It makes pickpocket much more like lockpicking, granting a small amount of xp on failed pickpocket attempts.
It works on anything that you can pickpocket, including enemies like bandits, vampires, etc.
It's extremely lightweight and should work with any mod.
An MCM menu is included that has a multiplier for the amount of XP gained if its too much or too little for your liking.
You can also set this multiplier manually with the console command "Set FailedXPReduxGlobal to X"

Why make this a separate mod?
The old version was very taxing and script heavy or relied on vanilla crime to trigger. It also had an outdated FOMOD installer. This version is completely new code and includes an MCM menu.
Failed Pickpocket Gains XP Redux is a lightweight gameplay mod for Skyrim that grants a small amount of experience on failed pickpocket attempts, similar to lockpicking. It's ESL-flagged for compatibility and has 140 endorsements, making it a niche but appreciated tweak for stealth-focused players.
