📋 About This Mod
I am a Smuggler and not a degenerate Pirate!
Replaces "Pirating Ships" Deception Challenge with Selling 20/40/80 Contraband.
Most fitting I think would have been Passing Ship Scanning with Contraband on board either

]with X/Y/Z contraband on board (cumulative)But tbh..don't even know where to start to get that working...so just selling it has to do...:-/
If anybody got any tips/tricks/hints in that direction....leave a comment.
(or make a mod ;-) )
This mod replaces the 'Pirating Ships' Deception Challenge with a smuggling-focused alternative, requiring players to sell 20/40/80 contraband instead. It's a small, niche tweak for Starfield players who prefer a lawful or stealthy playstyle over piracy. With 75 endorsements and recent updates, it's a community-approved quality-of-life change.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Niche but appreciated—75 endorsements from players who want a non-pirate alternative.
- Simple concept: swaps a piracy objective for a smuggling one, no bloat.
- Recently updated (January 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one challenge—if you're looking for broader smuggling gameplay, this won't expand it.
- Small mod with limited reach (75 endorsements), so community feedback is thin.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Deception Challenges or smuggling mechanics.
For Starfield players who hate being forced into piracy for the Deception Challenge and want a smuggling-themed alternative. Perfect for role-players who want to be a lawful-ish trader or a sneaky smuggler. Skip if you're fine with the original piracy challenge or want more substantial gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this replaces a challenge, make sure you have the Deception skill unlocked before installing.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Check your load order if you have other challenge-altering mods to ensure this one takes effect.
