✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 371 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.
- Brings back two classic guard behavior mods into one modern MWSE-Lua package.
- Adds real consequences to sneaking in town—guards will actually tail you.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2021—may need checking for compatibility with the latest MWSE builds.
- Requires MWSE-Lua, so it won't work on OpenMW or vanilla Morrowind.
- Only affects guard behavior when sneaking; doesn't overhaul other guard AI.
For Morrowind players who want more realistic guard reactions and enjoy stealth gameplay with consequences. If you're tired of guards ignoring your sneaking in broad daylight, this mod adds that layer of tension. Skip if you play on OpenMW or prefer lightweight mods without MWSE dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest MWSE installed and that your Morrowind is patched to the latest version.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or MO2 to keep track of your MWSE-Lua mods and their load order.
- Test the mod in a city like Balmora—sneak near a guard to see if they follow you as expected.
