Overview

Tired of operating like a vigilante? Want to begin your career as a government employed inspector?

This mod overhauls Shadows of Doubt to create a new kind of gameplay loop focused more on solving

crimes and less on the things that slow you down.

This is the first mod I've ever made! I made it for myself but decided to upload it for anyone else

who was looking for a similar kind of gameplay change.

You're official now, inspector.

When a murder is reported, walk right in. You're the man for the job! No more fearing cameras,

enforcers, and sneaking around in vents.

Need to interrogate the suspect's coworkers? Walk right in during business hours and ask away.

You're an officer of the law, now! You no longer need to worry about trespassing, cameras, or

turrets. Day or night, you have a warrant.

You now have legal immunity. Need to check the security cameras for the streets? Pick the lock. No

one will bat an eye. You're an officer of the law!

You stop being a criminal for doing your job. Trespassing, breaking and entering, assault, theft,

tampering and vandalism no longer flag you, and security cameras and sentry turrets never target,

investigate or gather evidence on you.

Arresting People

Now, anytime you strike an NPC with your fists, they will get down on their knees and raise their

hands. This is the beginning of my "You're under arrest" system. If you track your suspect down at

work, hit them with your fists and they will get down and surrender. And there won't be a mob fight

break out against you either.

When you initiate an arrest, everyone around will turn and watch until you leave the area, and some

will flee.

If you catch a criminal in the act or with a weapon however, they may try to fight back or run!

Well Equipped

In my experience after many hours of gameplay, codebreaking became a chore. If you're willing to

make the errand to city hall, you can always buy a codebreaker and get into any safe or computer.

This means you either hope for a note nearby where people write their password, or you make a trip

to city hall and back.

This gave me an idea. So I revamped the inventory system.

You now have 9 default items that work infinitely. I've also set the inventory pockets default

number from 4 to 6 for the blank spots you can use to pick things up. In your default inventory you

now have the following items mapped to the number hotkeys:

| Key | Item |

| --- | --- |

| 1 | Truncheon |

| 2 | Fists |

| 3 | Print Scanner |

| 4 | Codebreaker |

| 5 | Watch |

| 6 | Camera |

| 7 | Door Wedge |

| 8 | Handcuffs |

| 9 | Cigarettes |

| 0 | Unequip |

As an officer of the law, you now come equipped with a codebreaker that's reusable. (That's the

in-game explanation, but it just infinitely refills the inventory slot. So old codebreakers still

drop after use.)

Each of these nine items are inexhaustible. Use them on duty to your heart's content.

Your Own Office

Another thing I found myself doing was running into city hall and using the computer in the first

room on the right to access the government database. So, rather than using some random

receptionist's computer to search the government records — now, it's your office!

The first room inside city hall to the right is now your office. You can edit the layout just like

you would an apartment, move and add furniture, and change the wallpaper and floor. To do this, open

your inventory and select the Edit Decor button in between the two inventory rows.

The computer has to be a government profile, not the player's profile ownership. Otherwise you won't

be able to use the government database. I don't recommend changing or
