About this mod

This file is no longer supported, it is now part of my Buy or Steal mod as an optional feature.

Description

Ever found it unbalancing when you could easily steal items from a shop just by grabbing the said item, moving it out of the shopkeeper's sight and then just picking it up? Like stealing everything from Silver Rush without any of the Van Graffs thugs noticing at all? This mod is for you then.

You will not be able to grab items that belong to other NPCs. You will only be able to pick them up instead. Any item which has the "Steal" prompt in order to pick it up won't be able to be grabbed by the player. Only items that have no ownership such as the junk you find in the Wasteland or owned by the player can be grabbed.

There are some exceptions though, you can grab NPC owned items as long as the owner or any NPC that belongs to the owner faction are either dead or not present in the current cell. For example, you cannot grab any of the items inside the Silver Rush store if any of the Van Graff thugs is alive or present in the store but if all of them are dead or none of them is in the store, you can grab them as many times as you wish.

Also, you cannot move NPC owned items by shooting, hitting or using explosives on them to avoid further exploting of this system. The same exception applies here as the one above, example:

In the example gif above, the player cannot force move the items using explosives because a Van Graffs thug(you can see him moving on the left side of the gif) is present and alive in the cell.
