Description:
Adds a skilllevel scaling timer to pickpocketing, so you can't take forever to browse through the inventory like you're shopping.
Also integrates some potions to expand the timer.
You can change the minimum time and the maximum time in the MCM as well as a modifier that's being used to calculate the pickpocket time.
The time gets calculated like this:
so for example if your skill is at level 50 and the modifier is set to 5, you've got 10 seconds before it kicks you out of the inventory
The vanilla 'fortify pickpocket' potions add extra time via keywords and the help of Keyword Item Distributor
The default settings of the mod give you between 5 and 20 seconds time to pickpocket an NPC, which I think is more than enough time to steal stuff.
The mod goes well with my Timed Lockpicking mod
Q: but why?
A: Because pickpocket has no downsides and you can basically spend hours in the inventory without any consequences
Q: can i adjust the time?
A: yes, there's a MCM to adjust the max time and the min time as well as a modifier used to calc the time you get
Q: Pickpocketing is still easy!
A: You can lower the min and the max time, but it will never be harder, you just need to be faster
the mod is esl flagged but the header version is 1.71 so you need Backported Extended ESL Support (BEES) on older skyrim SE versions and Skyrim VR ESL Support on skyrim VR
the mod itself works on every game version the required mods support.
if the game updates and the requirement does not, my mod will stop working as well and there's nothing I can do about that.
Requirements:
Powerofthree's Papyrus Extender
MCM Helper
Keyword Item Distributor - optional but it is used to (1) add time increase keywords to vanilla potions and (2) add stress increase when you fail if you have JaySerpa's Stress and Fear installed
Installing:
Safe to install at any time.
Uninstall:
Make sure to not be sneaking and looking at an NPC when you disable the mod. To be extra safe, I would advise you wait until eventual timer increase potions ran out.
It's a scripted mod, so I won't advise to uninstall it mid-game, but if you know how you can do that, it's safe to do so.
For mod authors:
To add the timer increase to any potions you want, you can use Keyword Item Distributor to add keywords to the items. Same goes for magic effects.
see the included _KID.ini file for an example.
Important: Only use it for potions and/or magic effects
There are 11 keywords and the number in their name indicates the amount of seconds you get added.
mind that everything above 6 seconds increase is quite a lot already.
How does this work?
When an item with the keyword gets "equipped" my script adds an effect to the potion with the same duration as the first effect which is then used to get checked when the script calculates the time.

Translations:
The MCM is translated but i used a website (Deepl.com) to do that as i definitely don't speak that many languages.
If you think that the translation is really bad or just wrong, please send a correct translation and I will change it.
