Kind of a "dirty" fix, although it is kind of genius. It's one of those fixes where you put a copy of the TrainerGoldScript.pex in YOUR LOCAL Skyrim/Data/Scripts folder and then the game runs that one instead of the Skyrim.bsa version. I am going to test it now, on my Skyrim LE (oldrim) with current patch..
Yes this has been fixed in the "Unofficial" patch, but I am not using that, so it's useful (if it works)
OK Tested it and it works perfectly.
Tested on vanilla unmodified Aela the huntress. No gold in inventory after train.
You could do a lot more work (change every NPC follower, write a new script and put it on all of them, I think there are over 50 followers?) and it still would not be as effective as this one file just placed in the folder.
It makes me wonder how they fixed it in the Unofficial Patch... did they do that? I guess so? Or maybe they figured some other way.
Don't do what I did..Careful pick pocketing your pick pocket trainer. (Say that fast 5times) :.....If your pick pocket skill isn't high enough, could be hazardous to your pick pocket health!
it works well with requiem, use it too. some trainers are already fixed without this (notable the companions trainers) but most are not which makes this mod pretty essential.
since requiem allows for 100% pickpocket chance and in combination with a higher training limit it is very tempting to just steal everything back in a single click.
"Exploit 1: When training with a follower, you have access to his/her inventory. So, after training, you can simply trade the gold you paid them back to yourself."
This is fixed in the USKP, however the USKP still allows you to pick pocket from a general trainer which imo isn't an exploit, pick pocketing is part of the game after all. It could perhaps be made more difficult but that would be the job of another mod.
It would be nice to mention in the description that this was fixed in the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, as this mod would mostly be interesting for those who do not want the whole USKP.
This is the mod I was looking for - it was just too tempting to get your money back from your trainer follower. I do normally not use trainers a whole lot, but if it is free, you are tempted to use them without to have done something to earn the money. You basically miss out on the best part of the game, the slow progression while adventuring with a feeling at the end, that you really have accomplished something.
Thank you very much for this mod. it always bothered me, that the money for training was visible in the inventory. Even some say, a thief should be able to pickpocket it - is that really immersive?- Would you steel as a real life thief from that guy, who was so helpful to you?- I don't think so.
Well he was helpful but you had to pay him. So it is paid work and not "help". Yes it is immersive to be a dirty bastard. However taking gold back from a FOLLOWER trainer, not that is just down right WONG. Yes W-O-N-G WONG.
Like others have said, and my reason for leaving a comment, thieves are thieves. It IS an exploit to take gold from a follower who can train (Faendal - Archery - Riverwood for example), but pickpocketing gold back from a trainer is NOT an exploit.
It is only an exploit if you reload every time you get busted.

Could you please make "unfix" mod for this exploit? I want to use USLEP but I would like to keep some logic exploits :)
I'll test how things behave now with latest usleep and see if this is still at all relevant.
DELETE THIS. The USKP fix acts on individual dialogue records, and this "fix" apparently breaks trainers across the board.

So its still very much relevant
