Sneak Tweak
Changes to stealth detection and NPC sneak attack response AI.
New in version 3:
The NPC view cone has been decreased from 190 to 135, since we humans have eyes on the front of our heads and a short attention span.
Options for the ‘reset time’ values:
Version –> Detection Reset (s) / Attack Reset (s)
Standard –> 30 / 60
Doubled –> 60 / 120
Tripled –> 90 / 180
Angry –> 30 / 600
Lite –> 20 / 30
This mod changes the following game settings:
fSneakBaseValue
fPlayerDetectionSneakBase
fPlayerDetectionSneakMult
fSneakSoundsMult
fSneakSoundsLosMult
fSneakLightExteriorMult
fDetectionSneakLightMod
fCombatStealthPointRegenDetectedEventWaitTime
fCombatStealthPointRegenAttackedWaitTime
fDetectionViewCone
This mod is a remake of “Sneak Rebalance” (v1.2) by sage2, but without the damage changes.
The original can be found here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=819
To paraphrase the original, this mod does the following:
— Enemy search reset time on detection now 30 seconds (from 10)
— Enemy search reset time on being attacked now 60 seconds (from 15)
— Enemies do a significantly better job detecting you when you are within their vision cone and in a lighted area
— Small tweak to base detect level to balance better with other changes
— NPCs now cue more easily into noise you make when sneaking
Again, sage2’s mod also decreased the sneak attack damage multipliers, but I’ve eliminated those changes in this version.
