Remove Old Scents

[Penge567]

My property was broken into about 3 or 4 days ago, and there are larceny scents all over the place. The perp was stocked and then died. Is there any way I can remove it? I don't want to turn tracking off so I can see if any new crimes occur, but right now there are little exclamation points all over my property. Since the perp is dead, I was wondering if there was any way to remove them manually or if I just have to wait nine days for them to expire.

I think you need to wait nine days...although i am not completely sure.

Good suggestion, if a perp dies, all scents linked to that person should be removed from the world.

Unsure if they could impliment it though.

Scents can lead to stolen things even after his death.

Well, in this case, the stolen things were two locked chests that were destroyed, so I can't track the stolen things.

In most case there are a plenty things being stolen.

So then you wouldn't want to get rid of the scent? I'm not saying they should automatically dissipate as soon as the perp dies, but right now it's just an annoyance. It would be nice if you could make scents on your own property go away if you don't need them anymore.

So I can claim scene of crime and wipe scents? Brilliant.

Sure you could! If the perp were dead. The perp in this instance would be you. If you want to kill yourself as to avoid being killed, be my guest.

Scents shouldn't disappear when perp is dead. Imagine you log in and your place is missing some things, or you find a dead body, or some stuff is destroyed, and you don't know what happened simply because the perp was killed by someone else in the meantime.

Scents should last their full duration as an indication of what happened here, no matter if perp is alive or not. If you want to avoid having exclamation marks all over your base then protect it better so that they don't appear in the first place
