If for some reason one of the characters I added perks to isn't in your game, that's fine--they'll just be skipped silently. If you want to add others, just open the file and add the name.

Basically, I got tired of followers being detected when I was trying to sneak, so I made them all sneakier. This will not make them completely undetectable, but with the use of sneak-enhancing gear, they'll be a lot more stealthy than they were before.

The following NPCs are covered out of the box:
Lydia , Iona , Jordis the Sword-Maiden , Rayya , Brelyna Maryon , J'zargo , Aela the Huntress , Jenassa , Annekke Crag-Jumper , Aranea Ienith , Mjoll the Lioness , Serana , Borgakh the Steel Heart , Barbas , Meeko , Vigilance , Inigo , Hroki , Sylgja , Onmund , Athis , Farkas , Njada Stonearm , Bran , Miri , Ria , Torvar , Vilkas , Cicero , Dark Brotherhood Initiate , Agmaer , Beleval , Celann , Durak , Ingjard , Frea , Talvas Fathryon , Teldryn Sero , Ralis Sedarys , Golldir , Illia , Belrand , Erik the Slayer , Marcurio , Stenvar , Vorstag , Argis the Bulwark , Calder , Gregor , Valdimar , Ghorbash the Iron Hand , Lob , Ogol , Ugor , Adelaisa Vendicci , Ahtar , Benor , Cosnach , Derkeethus , Eola , Erandur , Faendal , Kharjo , Roggi Knot-Beard , Sven , Uthgerd the Unbroken , Armored Troll , Armored Frost Troll ,  CuSith , Garmr , Sceolang , Stray Dog , Anska , Avulstein Gray-Mane , Brother Verulus , Brynjolf , Delphine , Enmon , Erandur , Esbern , Geirlund , Hadvar , Karliah , Katria , Maurice Jondrelle , Mercer Frey , Orthorn , Ralof , Sinding , Thonnir , Thorald Gray-Mane , Valdr , Vidrald , Gleda the Goat , Neloth , Tharstan , Bilgemuck , Maisha , Alesan , Blaise , Francois Beaufort , Lucia , Runa Fair-Shield , Hroar , Samuel , Sofie , Aeta , Braith , Britte , Clinton Lylvieve , Dorthe , Eirid , Erith , Frodnar , Gralnach , Hrefna , Knud , Minette Vinius , Skuli , Sissel , Svari , Aymar , Eilonwy , Minedhel , Methredhel , Batul , Uzul , Llevana , Faelian

To add additional NPCs, or to add or change perks, just open the file in a text editor--the changes you need to make will be obvious.

INSTALLATION:
Just extract the file "DRHHomiePerks_DISTR.ini" into your root Skyrim folder (the one with Skyrim.exe in it). That's it.

And because people have been asking about our current situation:
My health is deteriorating dramatically. Long covid has left me with
heart, lung, and (from clots) eye damage, among other things, and
exacerbated my existing disabilities (like the nerve damage from my
spine injuries, the brain fog from my traumatic brain injury and ADHD,
etc.), so we're crowdfunding to try to move back to the US (something I swore I'd never do) so I can use my VA and Medicare
benefits, because we figure that's the only way I'll live long enough to
watch our daughter grow up.
