     2. Description

*****************************************************************

City Bag Checks gives guards the job of randomly checking bags for illicit goods when approaching
a major city. Guards will now:

Check for Narcotics: Guards will do an inventory check on you and your companion for Moon
Sugar, Skooma, Sleeping Tree Sap, Balmora Blue and Double Distilled Skooma. Seized narcotics will
be taken to the stolen items evidence chest at the local jail.

Provide Options for Bypassing: You can attempt to bypass a bag check numerous ways, including
persuasion, bribery, or reminding the guard that you're a thane of the Hold.

Comment on Questionable Items: Items such as Human Hearts, Human Flesh, Black Soul Gems, and
certain books, though not expressly illegal, may prompt a reaction from the guards.

An MCM is included to allow you to adjust how frequently bag checks occur. No base game records
have been modified so this should be compatible with any other mod that also affects guards. When
the bag check event occurs, a random guard closest to the main external gate is chosen to do the
check. If you fast travel directly into the city, a check will not occur.


*****************************************************************

     3. Configuration

*****************************************************************

You can use the following console command to manually adjust bag check chance, if you don't want
to install SKSE and SkyUI:

	set CBC_LocationEncounterChance to #		(0 - 100%)


*****************************************************************

     4. Change List

*****************************************************************

1.0.0 - Initial Release on Nexus Mods and Steam.

1.0.1 - Fixed issue with bag check not completing when a companion was present.


*****************************************************************

     5. F.A.Q

*****************************************************************

Q. What patch level is required?
A. None.

Q. Do I need Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Dragonborn or additional plugins like SKSE?
A. You'll need SKSE and SkyUI in order to adjust mod settings, but it's not required for the mod to
   function. The % chance of a bag check can still be controlled via console commands.

Q. Why am I not encountering a bag check?
A. Bag checks may not occur if all the guards standing near the gate (in the Tamriel worldspace) are
   dead.

   Bag checks are not meant to occur in the city world spaces. If you fast travel into a city you
   will skip a potential bag check.

   The game checks for guards standing near the gate with the following Ref Type: CWMainGateExterior.
   If you have a mod installed that removes this keyword from the gate, it will prevent a guard from
   being picked.

   Some cities have secondary gates. Bag checks will not happen at these gates.

   Lastly, only one bag check event can occur at a time. Bag check events only end when you walk into
   a wilderness cell to help prevent multiple events from occurring as you enter/leave houses.

Q. Why is Balmora Blue or Double Distilled Skooma not getting removed from my inventory?
A. They're quest items, so for the sake of not potentially breaking quests I've excluded them from
   removal. You'll still get in trouble if you're caught with them in your inventory.


*****************************************************************

     6. Uninstallation

*****************************************************************

The easiest way to disable the mod is to untick Toggle Bag Checks in the MCM. But if you want to
remove the mod permanently:

1. Close the game.

2. Remove the City Bag Checks.esp and City Bag Checks.bsa files from your Skyrim data
   folder. By default this should be either of the following locations:

	C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data

			or for 64-bit Windows:

	C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data

3. Refer to SuperSajuuk's document on manually removing any left-over CBC_* script files from
   your save file:

   https://www.dropbox.com/s/lj6d98yy8ohcoh3/Uninstalling%20Skyrim%20Mods.pdf?dl=0

   Note: You should not experience any problems with stability if you do not clean these script
   files from your save.
