Search and Destroy – Extended Stealth Time and Range
This stealth mod only does two things: increases the length of time enemies will hunt for you, and increases the range over which they will detect and follow you. Designed for maximum compatibility – by only tweaking these two factors, and not touching skill buffs,light factors, sound, companions, traps, etc., it should work alongside any set of mods you want to use to tweak your stealth game.
Here are some numbers: Enemies will hunt for you twice as long in “alert” status or “lost” status – that is, after they detect you but before they find you, and after you have escaped but they are still looking for you. In combat, the search time is tripled. By extending the range they can detect you to about 150% of vanilla, they will search both longer and over a wider area, meaning you have to go further to hide and you’d better be well hidden. No more ducking behind a corner and waiting thirty seconds.
Outdoors, enemies will spot you before they show up on your compass if you have low perception, especially in broad daylight. (Now Hancock’s “sitting duck” complaints will be accurate!) Indoors, they will hear you shooting it out with their friends and join in, instead of standing calmly twenty feet away. They will chase you down flights of stairs and snipe at you from afar.
This has been tested extensively and is compatible with pretty much anything except the stealth module of Arbitration, which sort of does something similar but in a different way, and changes other things that this mod does not touch. All the other stealth mods currently available should be compatible.
Made with FO4edit, of course. Should uninstall fine, but I would recommend saving in an area with no hostiles present first just to be safe.
I highly recommend you use a darker night and/or darker interior mod too.
