📋 About This Mod
A very simple change that reduces the crime report radius to 14m from the default 57m.
Essentially, this mod makes it so that NPCs can't report your crimes to Security guards that are too far away. If you are in Space, you will not keep your bounty any more if every eye-witness has been silenced.
Similar mods existed for Previous Bethesda titles so I've decided to Port the mod to Starfield as well
A simple gameplay mod that adjusts the Crime Report Radius in Starfield, making crime detection more believable. With 157 endorsements and nearly 40,000 downloads, it's a popular tweak for players seeking more realistic law enforcement behavior.
