</>What does Long Arms do?
Long Arms extends how far you can reach. Doors, shelves, the terminal, light switches and everything else you normally have to be stood on top of can be used from across the room. It is a small change that removes a lot of shuffling about, and it is genuinely useful when something is in the building and you would rather not step out from behind the counter to close a door. Set the distance to taste, from a slightly generous arm's length to most of the shop floor. Switching it off puts your normal reach straight back.

</>Common questions about Long Arms
What does Long Arms do in Shift At Midnight?
Long Arms is a premium mod for Shift At Midnight that stretches how far you can reach, so doors, shelves, the terminal, light switches and anything else you normally have to stand on top of can be used from across the room. It is a small change that removes a huge amount of shuffling back and forth over the course of a shift. It also turns genuinely useful the moment something is in the store and you would rather close a door or hit a switch without stepping out from behind the counter. Set the distance to taste, and switching the mod off puts your normal reach straight back.
How does Long Arms extend my reach?
Long Arms works by holding the distance at which you can use things wherever you set it in Shift At Midnight, instead of the short reach the game gives you by default. Normally you have to be practically touching a door, shelf or switch to interact with it; Long Arms simply extends that range so the same interactions fire from much further away. Your original reach is remembered the moment the mod turns on, so switching it off puts things back exactly as they were rather than guessing at the value. That careful restore is deliberate, so the mod always leaves the game just as it found it when you are done.
What kinds of things can Long Arms reach?
Long Arms reaches anything you would normally have to stand right next to in Shift At Midnight: doors, shelves, the shop terminal, light switches and the rest of the everyday interactions. If you can walk up and use it normally, Long Arms lets you use it from across the room instead. That covers restocking a shelf without walking to it, working the terminal from a safe spot, flipping lights from the doorway, or shutting a door between you and whatever is approaching. It is a broad, simple change rather than a list of special cases, which is what makes it quietly useful for almost every routine job on the shop floor.
How far can I set the Reach slider in Long Arms?
The Reach slider in Long Arms sets exactly how far away you can use things in Shift At Midnight, from a slightly generous arm's length right up to most of the shop floor. Keep it modest if you just want to cut out the little steps and shuffles, or push it high if you want to run the whole store without leaving one spot. Because the mod remembers your real starting reach, changing the slider stays accurate and switching the mod off drops you straight back to normal. Set it to whatever suits how hands-on you want the night to feel, then adjust it again any time you like.
Why is Long Arms useful when something is in the building?
Long Arms earns its place in Shift At Midnight the moment something is in the building and you would rather not step out into the open. From behind the counter you can pull a door shut, hit a light switch, or work a shelf without walking into the path of whatever is prowling the aisles. It turns nervy little errands that normally expose you into things you can do from safety. Outside of danger it just saves you constant back-and-forth, but during a tense moment the extended reach can genuinely be the difference between staying tucked away and having to break cover. Set the range and stay put.
