crime bounty decay

Description: Skyrim's bounty system has always been poorly designed; little effort has been put into it. Currently, any bounty you earn will remain on your head until you pay it off via septims or serve time in jail. However, with this mode, your bounty will slowly decay over time until you no longer need it, as long as you stay away from that hold.

NOTE: Configure your preferred settings in SkyUI's mods menu. When you no longer need to pause, you will receive a message in the upper left corner.

Requirements: SKSE and SkyUI

Installation/Uninstallation: It is recommended to download and install this mod through a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 (MO2). Uninstall it by deleting it in the mod manager.

Original Mod Description:

"Skyrim's crime system looks like a wasted potential. It's got the whole Dukes of Hazzard, "Across County Lines" thing going on, and your crimes have no weight in a single hold...except the guards never forget that time you lingered in the apothecary too long after closing time, so you end up having to pay your fine anyway, or say "Wait a minute...I know you" to the guards every time you pass by.

Well, no more. Now, as you spend your time in other masteries, your crimes will slowly be forgotten, reducing the bounty you must pay to be redeemed before the eyes of gods, men, and men, and eventually giving up on you entirely. Every night, at midnight, (or the nearest time after the play has had a chance to be evaluated), your bounty will be reduced on each hold as long as you are not actually in the main settlement for that hold at that time.

By default, this reduction consists of 10% of the current bounty, followed by an average reduction of 5 gold coins. This means that a pickpocket attempt will be completely forgotten after four days, and a cold-blooded murder will take about 30 more. Both parameters are configurable through the MCM, and if you're smart, you can figure out your own ideal settings to create crimes as long as you see fit, no matter how big or small, that will remain in the minds of legitimate authorities.

You can also toggle a setting so that your bounty only decreases when you're completely off the reservation, rather than just moving away from the main city. Still, it doesn't appear to be completely reliable - specific holdings of wilds don't appear to be considered so.

It should also be compatible with any other mods that change, such as how much bounty you get for committing various acts of mayhem.

Since it uses MCM, it requires SkyUI. But anyway, shouldn’t you? Regardless, I think it's all important. Tried it. seems to work. Hopefully I didn't mess up anything on the distribution side. "
