Technical Breakdown
The “Skyrim: Thieve 50 Pockets” mod modifies the core gameplay mechanic of pickpocketing, enabling players to steal items from NPCs with a significantly increased success rate. This is achieved by altering the formula used to calculate the chance of detection, which involves factors such as the player’s skill level, the target’s level, and the value of the stolen item.
Performance Insights
The increased success rate of pickpocketing with this mod can significantly impact gameplay. Players can now steal valuable items from NPCs without worrying about detection, opening up new possibilities for stealth-based playstyles. However, the mod may also make the game too easy, reducing the challenge and potential rewards associated with successful pickpocketing.
Technical Specifications
The mod utilizes a custom script that modifies the “DetectChanceFormula” function within the game’s code. The new formula multiplies the base detection chance by a factor of 0.5, effectively halving the chance of being caught while pickpocketing. This change is applied to all NPCs, regardless of their level or the value of the stolen item.
