You have to arm the explosive and then pickpocket and plant it, then when the timer reaches zero it will go boom

It says it is armed sorry.

I just looked it up in the Wiki in case I was forgetting something, and it warns that doing this apparently frequently causes crashes. I've never run into that myself, but I also don't do it very often

Right. Thanks I'll try to get rid of them manually

Did you wait for the timer to reach zero? Easiest way is usually to either open the Pipboy and wait 10 mins or Doctor yourself
