📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT
With the recent update to Skyrim Anniversary Edition (thanks Todd!), it looks like this mod, as with so many others, will need to be updated to the latest version of CommonLibSSE NG. I'll try to get that done over the next few days.
In the meantime, if you're using a popular modlist, you're probably either downgrading Skyrim to 1. 6. 1170 anyway, or using a Wabbajack list in which case the downgraded files are already set up in ModOrganizer 2 and you don't have to worry about it. For those who actually let Steam update their installation of Skyrim and want to use this mod, I'll see if I can get it done soon.
Description
This is a fork of the original Sure of Stealing that aims to fix a couple of known crashing issues when used with other mods as well as fix other potential issues. See the original mod for the full description. Credit to ThirdEye3301 for the original mod.
The original mod is not required as this is a full replacement. Like the original, this is built with CommonLibSSE-NG so it supports all versions of Skyrim: SE, AE, and VR.
The specific NPC-related crashes fixed in this version are:
-
[]When using Nether's Follower Framework, you can specify different outfits for the follower to wear in different situations (adventuring, city, home). If you've created one or more, and you then remove them all, the game crashes when you remove the final outfit.[/]
[]The modded follower Sa'chil will offer to perform the task of stealing Madesi's ring and planting it on Brand-Shei when you're starting the Thieves Guild questline. The game crashes when she 'steals' the ring from Madesi's lockbox.[/]
Immersive Interactions

This is a fork of Sure of Stealing that fixes specific NPC-related crashes, including issues with Nether's Follower Framework and the modded follower Sa'chil. It also includes extra hardening for other potential crashes, such as a Requiem-related chest crash. Built with CommonLibSSE-NG, it supports Skyrim SE, AE, and VR, and serves as a full replacement for the original mod.

For Skyrim players who use the original Sure of Stealing and have experienced crashes, especially those using Nether's Follower Framework or the Sa'chil follower. Also for Requiem users who want to avoid the chest crash. Skip if you don't use the original mod or don't care about these specific crash fixes.
