this is a great mod, although i do wonder something, so you can't eat anything when it's a stolen item on the spot from what i noticed, i know that if i'm caught that it was my fault but i still want it to work for the times when i'm ducking and not seen but i can also eat it on the go, i also wonder if you can make it so you can eat through the menu without needing to pick up the item, back in the old skyrim days they used to allow the player to eat an item from any persons inventory, but for some reason in this game they took that feature away, it was the same button for your fire your gun, but while in the inventory.
First off, I want to say how much I love this mod's functionality. Not only does it implement a feature that should've been in the game from the beginning, it allows the player to pull off some absolutely bad-ass stunts in the middle of combat - in tandem with one of the BulletTime mods. I burst into a room filled with raiders, triggered BulletTime, and emptied my pistol into the nearest guy (who happened to have a combat rifle). The last bullet gets him and sends him tumbling backwards onto a couch while his gun flies up into the air, and rather than reloading I grabbed his gun from midair and used it to take down the other two before my AP ran out. It was one of the coolest moments in the game, and it wouldn't have been possible without this mod.
That said, the most recent update to F4 seems to have broken this mod for me. I've been having a difficult time tracking down what exactly causes this issue, but at random the game will freeze while taking items from the quick-loot menu. It doesn't seem to matter what the container is (body, dresser, trunk, safe, anything) and it only occurs when quick-looting. Through testing I tracked the problem to this mod, which breaks my heart because of how essential it is to my experience in the game. I don't know what might've happened, as this has never been a problem before: I updated XDI, crafting highlight fix, LooksMenu, MCM, and a few others that require updating with F4SE, but none of them impact Grab n Eat in any way. Does anyone know how this problem might be solved, or if there's some sort of workaround? Thanks in advance!
Did you ever find a fix or mod alternative? The functionality of this mod would be a huge QoL improvement but the prospect of crashes keeps me from trying it.
This is a must-have mod and a feature, that should have been in the game in the first place. Thank you very much for your work mate :) Have a problem tho - every aid/note/holotape item in the base game worked just fine, but I just started the Automatron DLC and the game gets bugged whenever I try to open any holotape from this DLC so far (tried "Mechanist holotape" and "Jackson holotape" from first quest) - first of all, it doesnt open these tapes from loot menu. Then, when navigating through the inventory and playing them manualy, the pip boy disappears, but the blur effect stays on screen and all HUD elements disappear. You can control your character and interact with things but screen effect never goes back to normal, even after the holotape stops playing. And you cannot bring pip boy back either. Only thing that works is the Esc menu, so you cannot do anything but restart the game. Is this a problem on my end? Thanks for the info.
can you change the key? unfortunately nothing happens with R (I have the key function which is standard R on E. But unfortunately nothing happens there either) can you help me? Unfortunately the resetting does not work either.
According to https://www.reddit.com/r/FalloutMods/comments/7bta6c/fo4_freezes_when_looting_occasionally/ This mod seems make game freezes occasionally. I remove mod and play about 3 hours. No freeze happened again. So if you have same problem, it may help you.

Not even mentioning how game updates must have affected it over the years.
