📋 About This Mod
This is just a small mod to incentivize the thief style play through by a rather drastic but necessary increase to rewards gained by dishonest means. Anyone who plays Skyrim stealthily will know the annoyance of underwhelming rewards after leveling up sneak, lockpicking and pickpocket to successfully steal a house key, sneak in at night and pick the lock of the safe or strongbox only to find a measly 10 coins and a pair of fine boots.
This mod changes this by: - Increasing most civilian NPCs held money by 400% - Increasing the number of coins in chests, end tables and draws - Drastically increasing loot found in strongboxes and safes - Increasing the value of noble level clothes, boots, gloves and hats to something worth stealing

With 646 endorsements and over 26,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life mod for stealth players. Last updated in 2017, it remains a simple, effective enhancement.
