📋 About This Mod
Sure of Stealing
Simple SKSE plugin that prevents accidentally stealing objects while not sneaking. In order to steal objects while not sneaking, activate the target object twice in a row. Applies to all loose objects and containers that are marked "steal". An optional ini setting, bChairsAndBenches, can be used to apply the same change to chairs and benches so that sitting also requires double-tapping the activate key.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,642 endorsements and 1.1M downloads
- Solves the classic 'accidental theft' problem in one clean tweak
- Optional toggles for chairs and containers let you tailor it to your playstyle
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so you'll need to set that up first if you haven't
- Double-tap can feel clunky in fast-paced moments when you're trying to grab loot quickly
- No mention of built-in MCM or config hotkeys—you might need to edit an INI to adjust settings
For Skyrim players who are tired of accidentally stealing a sweetroll in front of a guard. Also great for roleplayers who want to feel more deliberate about their actions. Skip if you prefer quick, single-press looting and don't mind the occasional bounty.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the mod through it to keep your Data folder clean and manage updates easily.
- Test the double-tap timing in a safe area first—if it feels too slow, check if the mod has an INI file to adjust the input window.
