Improved Sneak Detection

Description
This mod improves Skyrim's detection while sneaking, triggered by loud noises, changes in light sources and movement.
If you think vanilla sneaking is way too easy (and why not ridiculous sometimes), this mod is for you.
This is an approach to a more realistic gameplay.

If you want to know what this mod does exactly I've uploaded a video, but basically what it does is tweak the default detection values of the game, making it a little more challenging to sneak on npcs.

You will be DETECTED if:
- you walk in the NPCS line of sight and the area is too bright (lit corridors, using torchs or spells that give out light)
- if you make too much noise (wear heavy armor, cast loud spells, run, etc)

It will be harder for you to be DETECTED if:
- you watch patrolling patterns and sneak at the NPCS back
- your sneak level is high enough and you spent some skill points in your sneaking perks
- you wear light armor or wear accessories or enchantments that boost your sneak skill

It does affect falmer, all detection mods do. In the game data falmer are technically 80% blind, not 100% blind.
Falmer are also affected by my more recent "Realistic AI Detection" mod (shameless plug).

Does this affect the falmer or any other npcs that can't see? I mean, they're blind so light shouldn't change things for them

Enemies far, far away detect you through walls if you have heavy armor and low sneak skill, even if you are walking while crouched.

The sneaking missions werent really well made, to be honest.

This mod has worked as intended/advertised in most situations, but a few of the sneaking missions are straight up ruined by it. :(

That's cool and all, but seriously that video would make this mod showing a whole lot funnier.
