I think a great tweak & fix for Fallout karma system is that if you can make it like this; player only gain bad karma if NPC saw you stealing, if player stealing without NPC see him you will not get bad karma. its easy fix actually! gain good & bad karma depend on your surrounding & world reaction to it. not entirely remove it.
Thank you for this suggestion. I will definitely look into this and see if I can make a second version with the properties you described (only bad karma if you get caught), as I actually like your idea better. I'm brand new to working with G.E.C.K. and creating mods, so I'll try and figure it out. Thanks!
thank you. wow I never knew my idea would be this okay. mostly people would debated with me that Fallout karma system is BS & glad it wasn't in FO4. but I like to point out, Fallout 3 is indeed a simplified rpg. remember in Elder scrolls games, especially Oblivion, if you grab the item with z key I think, even grabbing a sec, NPC will started to yell at you, & if you grab the item long enough they will call a guard to arrest you. I miss that system, & feel disappointing with Fallout 3, Fallout 4 even New Vegas don't have this simple system, man I wish diamond city guard would stop shooting at me because I accidentally pick up someone items.

Well Fallout 3 does have the Grab Hand symbol/avatar either in game or by mod, you could modify it simply to include theft if touching anyone elses stuff possibly by changing the flag associated with stealing to include grabbing personal items.
Why would you lose karma if you're not caught doing a thing? There's nobody to report your actions.
I always appreciate games where you only get in trouble if caught. Hell, a rare few games also set it up so that if you take out the person who catches you, you won't lose anything, as you've eliminated the only witness.
It's a very simple mod and easy to install. Just put it in your folder with your other mods and should be ready to go. Nothing special needs to be done for this mod to work.
What will you do if you want to decrease your Karma from Very High level (for example) to Neutral or Very Evil? For hiring Butch, RL3, Jericho or Clover or to simply maintaining it to Neutral level to not be attacked by Talons or Regulators? *Console commands == cheating, starting a killing spree != peaceful solution.
