Having worked modiefied since I first started umpiring softball over 20+ years ago, I have seen a lot of variations.
Some good, some bad.

I have worked with a modified league locally that truly enjoys the game, pure recreation (which makes it nice)
This local league, doesn't allow stealing but the batter can be off teh base on the pitch.
They use the simple rule of just go back to the bag.
Their resoning is that if you can't steal, you can't get caught in a rundown or be picked off.

They have tried with the pickoff, ie get back to the bag before the baseman tags you but they decided they didn't like it.

Keep it simple and you will have more fun
