I hate it when I go to talk to someone, but I click just a few pixels too far to the side and end up accidentally stealing a plate or a wooden bowl. The next thing I know, I have a bounty on my head and a guard breathing down my throat. Now I have to reload my last save. It would be great if there were a mod or another way to not accidentally steal certain items like skulls, bowls, and plates.

  • (if on pc) I know you can clear your bounty etc with the console, I just don't know how to do it right off.

  • I am about tempted to do that. I am tired of every guard saying, "Wait, I know you" and trying to confiscate my stolen goods because I accidentally five-fingered a plate while trying to talk to someone who was sitting at a table. I guess the alternative would be to drop all stole stuff, pay the bounty, and then pick it all back up again.

  • I hate it when I accidently steal stuff too. Especially when they remove all my stolen goods. I lost like 3 of my best weapons before because of accidently stealing stuff and getting caught doing it (I also lose around 600-1400 gold worth of gems)

Yes there is, blocksteal redux will prevent you from stealing. 3,670 endorsements, too, so it should be pretty good.

To remove your bounty via console use the paycrimegold command:

player.paycrimegold <X> <Y> <FactionID>

Sometimes, does not pay off your bounty fully.
X = 1 Remove stolen items. 0 Don't remove stolen items.
Y = 1 Go to jail. 0 Don't go to jail.

  • I installed this using the mod manager and it doesn't work. As soon as I stole something, I had a guard all up in my business in no time. I checked to make sure the mod was enabled, too. I have Skyrim 1.9.32 and SKSE 1.6.16 build 44.

    Did you activate it via the spell?

  • Win! I activated it through the mod config menu and now I am not able to pick up any owned items. I'd have though it would have been enabled by default.

  • Haha yeah, it was designed to give you flexibility in case if you wanted to steal in the future :)

    Also, for the SSE edition there is the similar mod: nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18732
