Oblivion steal equipment mod

Recommended Posts

Hi, looking for a mod to steal equipped items off npc's. I looked under "steal" and "items" and neither had any type of mod like that. I don't know if one already exists or not, but google hasn't been able to find one for me so I'm asking around. Also, I would like to apologies if this request has been made earlier, I really didnt feel like looking through 530 threads to find out.

That is sort of an odd request. I'm not a modder, so I can do nothing to help you as far as scripting, but I can offer practical in-game solutions.

 

1) Many of the equipped armors in the game are available through other avenues, such as regular armor types that can be found in stores, on fair-to-kill enemies (marauders, bandits, etc.). However, if you are truly set on stealing an NPC's armor, most NPCs that wear ARMOR (stat increasing, non-cloth armors) take them off to sleep, so simply entering their house at night and breaking into a chest in their bedroom will allow you access you their usually-equipped armor. If you don't wish to enter their house, you can always break into a store that sells armor or weapons at night in any city and steal the items that way.

 

2) I don't know how familiar you are with the console feature of the game (accessed by pressing the ` key), but almost every item that occurs in the game can be acquired through the use of the console, barring mod-added items. A good list of console commands can be located here (UESPWiki), and a good list of items can be located on the same site here (also UESPWiki).

 

3) You may run into trouble with finding a mod to do this, as it takes a tremendous amount of realism away from the game. It seems a bit silly to assume you could steal the clothes off someone's body without alerting them of your doing so. I don't know what type of character you like to play, and I don't know how you would feel about simply killing the NPC and taking their clothes that way.

 

4) If you are looking to steal an unkillable NPC's armor, such as an Heironymous Lex for their distinct armor, or a Palace Guard in the Imperial City for their distinct armor, these are not equippable, and being able to steal them would only lead to in-game errors. If you want to steal armor off an NPC's back for that reason, you would be better off to look for mods that add wearable versions of that armor to the game.

 

Your original post did not state why you were looking for this mod, so it makes it hard for me to tell you ways around having a mod for the same application, but in my opinion, if you can find a way to do something without having to wait for someone to create the mod, seemingly from scratch, you'll be happy and on your way faster. I hope this helps a little, and if not, and you choose to repost in response, I can try to help you with any additional information you give me.

If you know your way around the CS, you can make a magic effect script for a spell. GreatLucifer made a fun code a while back...

 

scn StealSpellScript

ref Self

Begin ScriptEffectStart 

Set Self to GetSelf

Self.RemoveAllItems Player  ; Takes all of their items and gives it to the player

end

 

Thats really the only way I know of to steal something without a massive script.

Thanks for all your suggestions; I guess I should really clarify what I am looking for. I'm looking for a mod to be able to steal any (including clothes) equipped items off a person, without having to kill them or knock them out. It was fun to do in morrowind and I was looking for a way to do it in oblivion. I know there is a spell Sanguine gives you when you do his quest that removes everything in the targets inventory, but thats not what I am looking for. I know people say it would take away from the realism of the game and I understand that no matter how good a thief you are it's still really hard to steal the clothes of someones back, but I had a blast doing it in Morrowind and kind of made it a personal goal to try and steal everyone in Morrowinds clothes without them knowing. I wanna try it here in Oblivion now, but they don't let you... yet. Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks. Edited by Gundamwing01323
