📋 About This Mod
What is this mod?
This mod gives you the ability to strip NPCs of their space suits and other equipment they are wearing.
Just put Crosshair over the NPC in the following state and tap the "T" key;
you will be able to take off the NPC's equipment.
And, this mod also replicates the "Perfect Touch" skill from Skyrim (you can steal NPC apparel with the Thief Perk).
This mod is for SFSE. Due to technical limitations, I will not be making an XBOX version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 600 endorsements and 24,670 downloads.
- Simple keybind (T) makes stripping gear quick and intuitive.
- Fills a gap in vanilla loot mechanics—why can't we take that cool suit?
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated November 2024—may not be updated for future game patches.
For Starfield players who want to loot every piece of gear from fallen enemies, especially those cool space suits. If you're a completionist or just hate leaving loot behind, this is for you. Skip if you prefer minimal loot or don't care about cosmetic gear.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the 'T' key bound to something else—this mod uses it for stripping.
- Test the mod on a random spacer to see the drop chance before relying on it for rare gear.
- If you're using a mod manager, install via that to keep track of updates.
