✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 7,844 endorsements and 1.5M downloads show it's a must-have for stealth players.
- Fills a real gap: the vanilla game lacks a clear detection indicator, making stealth more intuitive.
- Active maintenance: last updated in September 2025, so it's kept current with the latest game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Skyrim AE (version 1.6+) – won't work for players on the original Special Edition.
- UI mods can conflict with other interface overhauls – check your load order.
- No detailed feature list provided, so you'll have to test in-game to see all options.
For stealth-focused Skyrim players who want a clear visual cue for enemy detection, especially those on the Anniversary Edition. If you're tired of guessing whether you're spotted, this is for you. Skip if you're on the original Special Edition or prefer a minimal UI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your Skyrim is updated to the latest Anniversary Edition version (1.6+) before installing.
- If you use other UI mods like SkyUI, install Detection Meter after them and let it overwrite to avoid conflicts.
- Test the meter in a stealth scenario early – adjust any settings to your preference for visibility.
