Shoplifter 🛍️👀

✨ Module function

Tired of high prices? Or are you annoyed that the store owner is always away from the counter? Why not just take what you want...

This mod allows you to pickpocket items from stores when the owner is not at the counter. A few basic items are randomly generated every day for you to take... as long as you don't get caught!

🏪 Shops where pickpocketing is possible

  • Willy's Tackle Shop
  • Pierre's Grocery Store
  • carpenter shop
  • Marnie's Ranch
  • Harvey's Clinic
  • Salon
  • Blacksmith shop
  • Sandy's Oasis
  • Ice Cream Stand (version 1.1.0, cannot be banned)
  • Resort Bar (version 1.2.0, cannot be banned)
  • Joja Supermarket, go to counter 1 on the left (version 1.2.1)

⚖️ Penalty for being caught (default setting)

  • When you pickpocket, any villager within 5 blocks will lose 2 hearts of friendship points
  • If caught by the shop owner or his family/employees, you will be fined up to 1000g of current funds
  • If caught three times by the store owner or his family/employees within 28 days, you will be banned from the store for three days
  • The record will be cleared after 28 days, and the second pickpocketing will not be accumulated.

🎮 Module configuration

Version 1.1.0 added configuration files allowing customization of pickpocketing preferences:

  • Maximum number of pickpockets per day (setting to 0 is equivalent to setting to 1)
  • The number of times the same store can be pickpocketed per day (setting it to 0 is equivalent to setting it to 1)
  • The number of times you must be caught before being banned (setting to 0 is equivalent to setting to 1)
  • Number of days to be banned (set to 0 to not be banned)
  • Maximum fine amount
  • Maximum friendship penalty
  • The radius within which the NPC grabs you (in grids)
  • Chance of rare items appearing (default 0, no chance)
  • Whether to enable pickpocketing at specific locations (all enabled by default)

Version 1.1.4 added universal mod configuration menu support, allowing configuration values ​​to be changed in-game.

🎯 Notes on Ginger Island

While the shopkeeper is on Ginger Island, you can choose to pickpocket or buy legally. When prompted to ask if you want to pickpocket, select "No" to make a legal purchase.

  • Supports handle operation, just make sure you are under the counter
  • Players can have different configuration settings
  • Support for items added to the vanilla store via store framework and content patches

**Note**: Please remember, pickpocketing is risky, be careful not to get caught! 😉

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
