📋 About This Mod

Stealth Field Stability
Next Gen Compatible!

Want to be a sneaky snake, but your social anxiety is makes you feel everyone is looking at you... judging you with their judgey eyes?

Who did not love the Chinese Stealth Suit FO3, or the the Advanced Stealth Suit from Old-World Blues?  An always-on stealth field is definitely OP, and an only-on when not moving is nigh useless, so drawing upon the limited stealth fields from Project Nevada, I came up with some middle ground that feels right and won't break the balance.

What the Mod Does:

You're able to move and keep the stealth field up, scriptlessly!

  • []When stealth running, the field will draw your AP to remain stable.  When your AP gets too low, it the field will drop.

    []And it gets better; the AP draw gets lower the more ranks in Sneak you have, with 5 ranks being roughly half of the AP draw when sprinting.

    []Effect is toggleable depending on whether your weapon is drawn or not.

    []Also, the field is perfectly stable when stealthing and walking, no AP draw; feel free to crawl your way through anywhere!

    []Check the video for a demo!

    Note: For preexisting chameleon armor pieces, you'll need to stand (e,g, no crouch), remove the armor piece, then put it back on to get the effect to work properly.

    Installation/Uninstallation:

    FOMOD installer; use NMM/Vortex to install/uninstall.

    Compatibility/Incompatibility:

    []This mod alters the Legendary Chameleon armor mod effect, so place this lower in your load order if you have other mod that affect this.

    []I did not alter the Sneak perks at all, so any mod that changes their effects would be OK, but I did use their standard CK IDs, so any mod that would alter their IDs in the CK, or remove ranks would be affect how this mod works.

    []I did not alter the chameleon MGEF entry, so any mod that alters that should be compatible; I did reference its ID though, so any change to this would affect this mod.
