Three different approaches in attempt to fix the long-broken Mister Sandman perk, so that people don't wake up and shoot at you when you were supposed to be "silently" killing them.
The Paralysis Way:
Paralyzes the victim before initiating the sandman animation.
The SetUnconscious Way:
Sets the victim into unconscious state before initiating the sandman animation.
The No Animation Way:
Kills the victim instantly, completely omitting the sandman animation. This should prevent nearby enemies from waking up. At least theoretically.
My suggestion: take the SetUnconscious way if you have no idea which one to pick up.
*For their effect on waking up nearby NPCs, I haven't been able to find a test site with multiple sleeping enemies. If you have a perfect location for this, please help me out. Or you can just test it out yourself and tell me your results. Thanks for the support!
Requirements:
----------------
NVSE no longer required for all versions.
Known Issues:
----------------
All three ways are not perfect, below are their known issues.
With the paralysis way:
1. Victim moves slightly (and strangely) for a brief moment after the sandman animation starts.
2. Victim no longer plays the looping sleep animation after the sandman animation starts.
With the SetUnconscious way:
1. Victim can get stuck in a pillow, or fall into the floor after being killed. (Only rarely, the exact cause of these problems is unclear, maybe something to do with the in-game physics system)
2. Victim does not cry when killed. (Hardly considered a problem)
With the No Animation way:
1. No killing animation.
Compatibility:
---------------
It won't be compatible with any mod that also modifies the Mister Sandman perk.

Also learned from his post is the way to get the reference of the target without using script extender. A huge thanks to him!
