[edit] WELCOME!
Welcome to Mogura's Realistic Merchant Storage Mod. This mod puts lootable storage chests in every major city merchant in the game, allowing you to thieve directly from their shop inventories, which was previously impossible! All items that are usually sold can be stolen now, including the Unique items, one of which can be found in most (but not all) shops. In order to get to these goods, however, you will need to pick the key from the merchant's pocket... and if you're after the Uniques, you'll need to not only pick the key, but also find where the merchant stores his Special Jewelery Box, containing the Unique key you will need.
[edit] NEW TO THIS VERSION
In order to showcase mmmpld's newest version of his fantastic Keychain mod, the two have been combined in this version to work seamlessly! You can read about Keychain and exactly what it does by viewing this page: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=452800
This version introduces a new Thief Minigame, which is a small distraction that helps increase the difficulty of gaining those Unique merchant items for free.
Merchants carry only their regular keys with them. In order to aquire the keys for the Unique chests, you'll need first to aquire the regular key, then find the Special Jewelry Box hidden somewhere in the vicinity of where the NPC sleeps. This shouldn't be too hard, as all NPC merchants sleep in their shop buildings! Once you've found the Special Jewelry Box, open it with the regular key to find the Unique key. Now you can go open the Unique chest and claim your prize.
[edit] NOTES AND ISSUES
- A certain bug may allow players to duplicate stolen merchant items. Almost impossible to fix; Soul_Reaper tried to script something, but unfortunately this was unsuccessful. Excersize self-restraint with it.
- Many doors have been bumped up to Very Hard difficulty if the Special Jewelry Box can be found nearby. However, the basic shop key that all merchants carry can open these doors. Without that key in their posession, some NPCs will find it hard to find a bed to sleep in...
- Maenlorn of the Flowing Bowl in Anvil never sleeps. His Unique key can be pickpocketed along with his regular key.
