I have the exact same issue. I can run the game through Steam, but not via Vortex, which is a shame since I want to use the mods I've installed.

Is there any mod out there that makes it possible to do the extra stealth-damage on an unaware NPC no matter if you're standing or crouching? Or simply makes is possible to stealth and track your detection no matter if you're standing or crouching? I don't want to make crouch obsolete, I just simply find it unrealistic that what decides the NPCs awareness-level and my damage, is wether or not I'm crouching or standing. Like, why does my arrows suddenly hit that much harder simply because I bent down before I let them fly into the back of an enemy. So yeah, any mod like that? If not, is it possible to make?

Hello! I'd really like to see a version of the hold armors in Skyrim without the faction-colored sashes. The armor underneath the sash would still look the same as the existing ones - leather or scaled. I really like the look of the armor underneath the sash, but I don't wear them because I feel I have to swear loyalty to one of the holds or factions if I do. Now, for people with experience, I guess it's pretty easy to make a simple new retextured armor and put it in the game to be crafted or looted from bandits (or faction deserters). But a huge plus would be if one could modify the faction colors to be on or off the armor from the inventory menu or something - after taking the sash off the armor would be factionless and you would longer be a better friend or worse foe to any faction anymore. For role-playing purposes, I could for example pretend that I've kept the armor, but thrown away the Stormcloak colors, after escaping Helgen (when going with Ralof) if I don't feel like swearing full loyalty to them just yet.
