woowhooo! wombats forever! :foodndrink:
There's also a new Sneak overhaul that looks pretty promising. I haven't tested it yet though. Too busy with my own mods or testing others atm.

Wombats indeed!
Anyhoo, SDR looks great; I may very well try it out tonight (err, I mean "no, I have homework to do, there's no WAY I'll spend the evening playing Oblivion" *cough*)
I didn't see http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1154877-relz-haldars-mods-pack/which has the most up to date Reneer sneak mod integrated either.
the sub mod is called Realistic Sneak for NPCs
Very nice! Actually, I think that the Map portion and the swimming portion both have stealth-play ramifications as well. A worthy addition to the list!
Regarding pronounciation of "Hashshashin" Armor
"I don't know how to pronounce it either, but this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE armor (especially if you mix the Black armor with the crimson boots, gauntlets, and mask!)."
Hashshashin is the word where the word "assassin" comes from. "Assassin" is a corrupted Arabic loanword.
Its probably pronounced "Hash-sha-shin" though thats my guess from my Persian background rather then Arabic.
Yes! Proof that someone actually does read the things I write!

Aaaanyway, I have (since writing that description) played Assassin's Creed (Through. Twice. And the sequel. Through. Twice. *cough*), and in that they pronounce it "HA-shuh-SHA-shin", which of course in no way means that is the correct pronunciation, but that's how I've been saying it in my head since I heard it. Then again my knowledge of Arabic is about as complete as my knowledge of
, so I should probably stop talking 
Just thought I'd expand on my new Sneaking Detection Recalibrated mod (SDR) in case anyone was curious.

Sneaking Detection Recalibrated (SDR)
This mod completely rewrites how sneaking/detection works. Complete details are on the main file site (see link above). A brief list of the main features* are as follows:
- Takes into account the light falling on the detector as well as the player
- The player's sneak skill is not modified in any way
- All penalties / bonuses are calculated separately for each detector-player relationship
- hardcoe settings override all the default oblivion Sneak Mastery perks, and are replaced with new rules and adjustments.
- Having a lit torch will cancel out any current or cast invisibility spell effects on the player.
- Silence spells cast on the player will nullify sound penalties
- As your Sneak mastery level increases, the speed at which you sneak gets faster
- Extended sneak attack bonuses up through Master Sneak.
- Everything you have equipped impacts your sound penalties, not just boots.
- Equipped gear takes into account, clothing, light armor, heavy armor, and weapon (if drawn).
- Equipped gear penalties apply to player and NPCs.
- Skillup bonuses for sneak attacks using bows if not detected (courtesy Haarvest and Sky Captain)
- These and more features covered in the readme .txt and an 11 page .pdf manual (part of the download package)
- Only one .esp, one .ini, OBSE v19+ and AV Uncapper plugin required.
* Although some of these features may seem familiar from other stealth mods, other than the skillup feature, all others were coded from scratch with completely new formulas and concepts.
You may label me very curious, and hoping to try it out in the near future. It has pretty much everything I like from Stealth Overhaul with a few added bonuses of its own, not to mention no hot keys (woohoo!). It makes me wish I hadn't just rebuilt my bashed patch <_<
