About this mod Machine translation
You can now follow passers-by without being attacked, and law enforcement officers you kill can no longer radio for reinforcements from afar.
Follow passers-by and the suspenseful legal system is remade
🎮 Hey there, fellow cowboys and outlaws! Tired of trying to follow some interesting guy on the streets of Saint-Denis only to be chased like a stalker? Or are you tired of just taking out a few Sheriffs, only to have reinforcements pouring in from the sky as soon as the radio goes off? This mod is for you!
✨ Core Functions
This mod contains two small but practical changes designed to make your life in the West a little more "real":
- **Peace Follow** 👣
- Now you can freely follow any NPC without triggering their hostility.
- I can finally walk leisurely on the sidewalk without being forced to overtake!
- **Legal System Remade** ⚖️
- **Removed Unlimited Reinforcements**: Enforcers you kill can no longer call in endless reinforcements via radio from "Timbuktu" (referring to extremely remote places).
- **Dynamic Wanted Stage**: The traditional wanted stage has been modified. When you clear a town of all law enforcement officers, you'll be given a brief **grace period** to move around in the town before the patrol actually arrives.
- **Stealth and Escape**: Patrols **do not automatically know your location**, making stealth and escape possible.
- **Follow-up Encounters**: Even after clearing the town, you may still encounter sporadic "Wandering Bailiffs" on the way out.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES & COMPATIBILITY
- **Personal Evaluation**: The author personally likes this legal remake module, but admits that its execution is not as perfect as expected. **Some missions may not work properly when the mod is active**.
- **How it works**: It takes advantage of certain "idiosyncrasies" of game mechanics, so the effects can be somewhat unpredictable.
- **Persistence Suggestion**: You may need to enable the **Enhanced Entity and World Persistence** mod (especially the corpse persistence part) to achieve the desired effect, but this is not yet fully confirmed.
- **Merge Tip**: Many mods use "metaped" files. Merging this mod is simple: remove all entries containing "dispatch" and "deputyresident".
- If you like the deputy sheriff "appearing out of thin air" setting, but just don't want to face an endless sea of people, then please keep the `deputyresident` related entries when merging.

Hope this combo mod can improve your gaming experience! Remember, in the Wild West, rules...can be changed. 🤠
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
