Weird Sneak Issue

[Arogonian]

So to keep it brief, as of late I've been having issues with sneaking becoming annoyingly hard/impossible whereas I only have two stages [HIDDEN] and [DANGER].

 

It can be in the middle of the night or in a weakly illuminated building, as soon as I'm barely within someone's cone of vision they'll spot me. Sneaking behind them is no problem at all but apparently all NPC's got night vision now all of the sudden. Of course this is a pretty big issue for a stealth character.

 

Was fooling around with some night mods some time ago,(Darker Nights and True Nights) but got them all uninstalled at the moment and it's still messed up. Even downloaded a mod that increased sneak effictiveness to counter it but to no avail.

 

Any help is appreciated. :)

Darker Nights, at least, has an option to boost NPCs' detection. A lot. It has a number of levels of boost, for those who don't want the darker nights to make it easier for the PC to hide. The light changes are so extreme that, if left unmodified, NPCs can potentially not notice you walking up their nose, just about. The FOMOD for DN lets you choose both the darkness level, and the stealth-detect boost level, independently.

 

Therefore I think it's possible you may have boosted the bejesus out of your NPCs' stealth detection, not realized it, deleted a mod mid-run which no one will ever own as a good idea (even though in some cases it won't hurt anything, it's a die roll), and possibly left some broken piece behind. You've combined this with another darkness mod, True Nights, which I don't know anything about; and you didn't specify the sneakiness mod you're using, but there's a third factor in the mix. Fourth, if you count the uninstall as a factor.

 

TL;DR put everything back and look at the options carefully as you install them this time, try the light level you want but only boost the NPC detection a little (or not at all if you want everyone stumbling around in the dark, hehe), and see if that changes anything.

 

I am an utter modding noob so take this all with a shaker of salt; but that's what I'd do next.
