</>What does Shredded Files do?
Every shady sale you make goes into a file. You don't see that file until an inspector turns up with it and starts reading out the highlights. Shredded Files empties it. Leave it switched on and it stays empty, or hit the one-shot button to clear what's already there and go back to playing carefully. Especially good if you've had one very profitable, very reckless week and would rather not pay for it on inspection day.

</>Common questions about Shredded Files
What does Shredded Files do in Probably Stolen?
Shredded Files clears the case security has been quietly building against you in Probably Stolen, both the overall evidence level and every individual crime tracker feeding into it. Every shady sale you make normally adds to a file you don't actually see until an inspector shows up and starts reading out the highlights. This mod empties that file, either as a single wipe of whatever's already accumulated or as a continuous effect that keeps your record permanently clean while it's switched on.
Does it clear one thing, or the whole case against me?
The whole case. Shredded Files clears Probably Stolen's overall evidence level along with every individual crime tracker sitting behind it, rather than resetting one number while leaving the underlying trackers intact. That matters because the overall level is typically built up from several separate tracked offenses, and clearing only the total without touching the trackers would leave the file able to creep back up quickly. This mod handles both layers together, so there's nothing left quietly counting against you afterward.
Can it wipe a file that already has evidence in it, or only stop new evidence?
Shredded Files can do both, depending on which control you use. The Shred Now action in Probably Stolen wipes whatever evidence has already built up against you in a single press, clearing an existing file rather than just preventing future entries. Separately, leaving the mod's Enabled toggle switched on keeps your file permanently empty going forward, stopping new evidence from accumulating at all. You can use either one on its own, or run the toggle continuously and still hit Shred Now if something slips through first.
What's the difference between leaving it on and just hitting Shred Now?
Leaving Shredded Files' Enabled toggle on keeps your case file permanently empty in Probably Stolen, continuously stopping evidence from building up as you play, which suits players who want to trade riskily without ever worrying about the file at all. Shred Now instead works as a one-time action; it wipes whatever's currently on file in a single press but doesn't stop new evidence from accumulating afterward. That's better suited to players who mostly play carefully but want a clean slate after one particularly reckless stretch.
Why would I use this?
Shredded Files is especially good after a very profitable, very reckless week in Probably Stolen, the kind where you took every shady deal going and would rather not pay for it come inspection day. It's equally useful if you simply enjoy the riskier side of the game, the stolen goods and the restricted supplies, and don't want the accumulating case file hanging over every decision. Whether you clean up after the fact or keep the file empty from the start, the risky trades stop carrying a long-term cost.
