I played Oldrim with a single character until level 23 and then left it a few years back. After getting bored by Witcher 3 and Fallout 4, I decided to give the Skyrim SE a try. After installing a few lore friendly mods, I made a thief character, and did fine for myself with sneaking and pickpocket until I hit level 70 sneak (level 21 khajiit character), and activated the "clean escape" perk (Ordinator mod). After that, I started noticing that enemies in exteriors such as bandit camps and forsworn hideouts, detect me almost instantly after I enter their view cone, unless I'm really really far, where I can't aim properly with the bow. It doesn't matter if it's night or day, and I've been wearing the same leather armor for the entirety of the game play. It feels really wrong, as I can walk right in front of bandits and a lot of enemies in dungeons and interiors without them noticing. I even stole gems from a Dibella shrine right in front of the priestesses without the detection eye even moving a bit. But as soon as I'm outside, every single enemy detects me in his view cone and they can even hear my muffled as hell steps sometimes. I've searched all over the web, but it seems it only happened to so few people by now. As I don't know a lot about Skyrim and only played it a little, I ask the more experienced players if this issue was noted before and if there's a solution. It's killing Skyrim for me.
