Increasing sneak to 100?

[DigChrono]

I'm using a toggleable stealth boy mod (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/5903/) and trying to modify it to boost the sneak skill to 100 while the stealth field is active. My only problem is that no matter the magnitude I set IncreaseSneakSkill to, my sneak skill levels off at 51 in-game (from a base of 36). Is there some limit that I'm running into?

Well, that's an increase in Sneak of 15. That's how much the Chinese Stealth Suit raises Sneak by in addition to adding a stealth field. So my guess would be that this is somehow overriding your own Sneak bonus.

 

Also, the author has said in the comments section that the Sneak bonus is only active while sneaking. Did you check if it changed when going in / out of sneak mode?

 

 

Your sneak skill won't have any effect unless your in sneak mode. So you should be a lot easier to detect while walking around normally despite being stealthed. It has to do with how the game engine handles detection.

It's been several years since I've modded Fallout, so I forgot to check the effects section. Effects section is showing an increase of 15, and the bonus doesn't change while sneaking, only while the stealth field is activated. Hmmmm.
