Advanced AI Tweaks (Combat - Stealth - Detection - Sandbox - AI Behavior Upgrade)

This mod applies many changes concerning how NPCs & creatures behave in the game on various circumstances. Greatest focus placed upon enemy combat patterns and detection system.

It is the result of a lot of tweaking, reading and testing in game. Also by having some experience with some modifications I did back in the day for Fallout 3.

• []Generic AI detection tweaks

  []Effect of lighting conditions is now much more important. It will be the most critical factor on detection chance

  []Adjusted the impact that sound and noises have on detection

  []NPC status (eg. just woke up, sitting etc) now affects its alertness

  []Player sneak skills now pose a smaller coefficient on successful stealth. Environmental conditions (ie. lighting / darkness) are more important now

  []Detection distance tweaked

  []Changes in various timers, eg. how long enemies will look / be alert, or search for you (increased all the more)

  []Stealth point system tweaks

  []AI visibility fov slightly reduced, from 190 to 170. I believe it was way too much

  []Patrolling / Sandboxing areas are expanded

  []Adjusted some combat tactics, such as how often AI should throw grenades or advance their cover etc.

  Install with NMM / MO,

  or manually

  by extracting the downloadable archive contents and pasting the data folder into the main game folder: ~/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Fallout 4

  The mod works with, or without any of the DLC. It is compatible with most mods, but make sure to load it as low in the load order as possible (loaded last / higher priority) to make sure all changes are applied. It is a very safe and stable modification.

  This mod consists solely of game-setting changes. As such it can be installed, or uninstalled at any time without side effects.

  The following variables have been changed (presented in categories) vanilla -> mod

  Detection formula variables:

  • []fSneakVisualBaseValue                                                                    -20   ->     -5

    []fSneakDistanceAttenuationExponent                                              2      ->     4

    Visibility & Lighting factor contribution in Detection:
