Trespassing?

I'm doing my first thief playthrough in probably 8 years, so forgive my ignorance here.. I was actually enjoying my criminal self until I decided to take a sweep job of Bryling's house in Solitude. I picked the cellar door lock and snuck in while the people inside were still awake (it was like 10pm). They didn't react to my presence while being on the second floor, so I figured I was being legitimately stealthy. UNTIL I swiped a silver goblet off the table on the first floor and immediately incurred a 1498 bounty. Now they're calling me names and telling me to leave?? I reload a save and decide to try again.

 

Attempt number two I waited until approximately 12:45am and then snuck in through the same cellar door. This time, Bryling rushes down to the cellar to tell me to gtfo, then it goes into the whole trespassing call the guards spiel.. Anyway, after researching wtf is happening I've come to learn this is vanilla skyrim's cell ownership system at work, which I fully understand. But that has got to be the dumbest mechanic in regards to thievery. Like, how do I thief exactly? lol

 

I didn't see any mods on Nexus that address this which I am ASSUMING is a vanilla issue. I do have roughly 700+ mods going but none that affect thievery. Just a few to make stealth more realistic. What do the rest of you thieves guild members do with this?

Are you sure you were hidden?

 

It could be one of your many mods that's affecting the cell but Skyrim does have some buggy things going on with it at times.

 

If you were hidden it shouldn't have been a problem. There is a mod that is called "Search and Destroy" or something like that and I had problems with it so decided not to use it. You could try with a vanilla game to test it.

Sounds to me like you haven't leveled your stealth capabilities (sneak, armor elements, buffs, etc)

 

I'm not in the thieves guild and I can sneak right by most NPCs without detection, be they outside, in cities, or in homes.
