📋 About This Mod
Do think it's weird? You can be a masterful skilled thief. Still. The best you can do is steal from 9 out of 10 poeple successfully? You must really like prison then. Sure. Everyone makes a mistake. But 10%? That's just ridiculous. But this mod changes it. It changes the maximum pickpocket chance from 90% to 99%. Whoosh! Just like that! Nothing else is changed.
How to install: Simply drag the "Realisitc Pickpocket Chance.esp" in your Data folder or install it via your preferred mod installer.
Uninstall: Simply remove the "Realisitc Pickpocket Chance.esp" file from your Skyrim/Data folder
