📋 About This Mod

Contains several levels of buff to companions' sneak perk.

IMPORTANT: does not affect Curie, see note 1 below. Won't work with other mods that alter vanilla companion records without merging or a compatibility patch, see note 2 below (if you are unsure whether a mod is compatible, link it in the comments and I will take a look). Will not affect custom companions (though they can be given the perks manually - see note 2 below). Mods that change companion's items, eg buffing a character's unique weapon, shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't change the character itself. Mods that do not include an esp (patch) file, such as basic retextures, should not conflict with this mod. NOTE: There is a currently unidentified issue where mods that change companions' perks may also cause companion complexion/makeup textures to not be drawn fsr. This is being looked into.

Companion Sneak Buff

Players can move from cover to cover but companions kinda wander wherever and tend to get spotted, so I figured they could use some help to be less of a nuisance. However, since players and companions use the same perks, buffing sneak itself to any degree would make the player basically invisible, as it's already OP. This mod creates new sneak perks for companions (by copying and renaming the originals) with various levels of improvement to their sneaking ability, see table below. As with vanilla, companions attain perk ranks as they/the player reaches the minimum level for each rank. Originally devised for use with my Sneak Perk Nerf mod (not required), which is why there is a vanilla level version. Feedback appreciated.

The sneak perk has two factors; a sneak skill multiplier (higher is better), and a movement detection multiplier (lower is better):
