#SKYRIM SE STEALTH MODS MOD#

The huge difference between standing and sneaking has been reduced to a realistic amount.

When searching, enemies will do a better job checking corners, and they will cover a larger area.

Enemies will search longer - 70 seconds if you fire an arrow into their knee (was 20), ~70 sec after losing track of someone in combat (was ~40), 40 sec if they find a dead body (was 15), and 20-50 sec if they see or hear something (was 12-20).

This means interior detection range is now doubled compared to vanilla, while exterior detection range is only slightly higher than in vanilla.

NPC sight and hearing range is now the same inside and outside (in vanilla, enemies only had half the detection range inside compared to outside).

It also makes this mod scale better to different perk, armor, and lighting mods.

A higher attenuation factor in the detection formula enables NPCs to see you realistically in very low light levels when very near, without making detection over-powered at further distances (same applies to hearing).

However, in total darkness (with a mod like ELFX Hardcore) NPCs are just as blind as in vanilla. Even equipping a spell that lights up your hand will get you spotted.

They can now see better in dimly lit environments, and will quickly spot you if you are carrying a light source.

NPCs are much more sensitive to light.

Enemies won't become deaf and blind as you increase your sneak level and perks.

Ambient light, equipment weight, and line-of-sight are now more important than your sneak skill level.

NPC view cone is reduced to 160deg (from 190deg in vanilla).
