📋 About This Mod

Description

If you commit a small crime, guards will say the (in)famous line: "Wait... I know you." In Vanilla, this has no consequences and as long as you don't talk to them nothing will happen.

This tweak makes them forcegreet you after saying this line. In addition: If you try to cancel out of that dialogue, the guards will start attacking you, so there's no easy getting away from the law.

This should encourage you to avoid contact with guards, after having commited crimes.

I am aware that other mods might do this already, but this tweak can be seen as a lightweight alternative.

Compatibility

I've added patches for:

  • Beyond Skyrim - Bruma SE.

    Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing save work?

    A: As far as I know, it should. However, it's good practice to keep a backup save prior to doing this, just in case.

    Q: Is this compatible with <insert mod>?

    A: I don't know by heart. You might need to check yourself.

    Q: Will you make a patch for <insert mod>?

    A: Only if it's a mod I use myself or plan on using, I have enough time and I actually like the idea. Otherwise, feel free to do it yourself. (see permissions)

    Q: I have a suggestion to improve the mod. Can you do it?

    A: Maybe, if I have time and I like the idea, I'll consider it.

    Q: Will you port this to <insert platform>?

    A: No, I myself only support the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If someone else wants to port it, feel free. (see permission) If you decide to port it, you yourself take full responsibility to offer support to said port. I will not provide no support for any ports by third parties.

    Q: I use a ported version of this mod on <insert platform> and I have a problem. Can you help?

    A: I don't provide any support for third party ports on other platforms than the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If you have issues, you should adress the person that ported it.

    Q: Does this work on Skyrim 1. 6+, aka "Anniversary Edition"?

    A: Yes, it should.

    Q: Why don't your mods use MCMs and instead use this janky console command system to set globals?

    A: I am not a fan of MCMs. You can set the globals by making a patch in xEdit. I have no plans of changing this. If you want to add an MCM, feel free. (see permissions)

    Q: Why don't you use FOMODs?

    A: That would require reuploading the entire mod, in question, even if I only make a small change. My internet is limited and reuploading the files each time will take a huge chunk of my monthly volume.
