How to Remove Stolen Status in Skyrim
If you’re a fan of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you might have encountered the “stolen” status at some point during your adventure. This status, which is applied to your character when you steal items from non-player characters (NPCs), can be quite frustrating, as it prevents you from picking up new items and can even cause some quests to fail. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to remove the stolen status from your character and get back to enjoying your game without any interruptions.
Step 1: Return the Stolen Items
The first and most straightforward way to remove the stolen status is to return the items you’ve stolen. You can do this by visiting the NPC from whom you stole the items and giving them back the stolen goods. Once you’ve returned everything, the stolen status should be lifted automatically.
Step 2: Use the “Stolen” Skill
If you don’t have the stolen items to return, you can use the “Stolen” skill to remove the stolen status. This skill is available at level 20 and allows you to remove the stolen status by paying a fee. To use this skill, follow these steps:
1. Open your skills menu by pressing the appropriate button on your controller or using the keyboard shortcut.
2. Scroll through the list of skills until you find the “Stolen” skill.
3. Select the skill and pay the required fee to remove the stolen status.
Step 3: Use a Console Command
If you’re playing on a console and prefer not to use the “Stolen” skill, you can use a console command to remove the stolen status. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the console by pressing the appropriate button on your controller or using the keyboard shortcut.
2. Type the following command: “player.setStolen 0”
3. Press Enter to execute the command.
Please note that using console commands may be against the game’s terms of service, and it’s important to be aware of this before proceeding.
Step 4: Use an in-game Item
Some players have reported that using certain in-game items can also remove the stolen status. One such item is the “Gold Stolen” item, which can be found in the game’s world. To use this item, follow these steps:
1. Find the “Gold Stolen” item in the game’s world.
2. Equip the item.
3. Interact with the item to remove the stolen status.
Conclusion
Removing the stolen status in Skyrim can be a simple process, whether you choose to return the stolen items, use the “Stolen” skill, use a console command, or find an in-game item. Whichever method you choose, once the stolen status is removed, you can continue your adventure without any interruptions. Happy gaming!
