Sick of NPCs repeating the same catchphrase from across the street every time they see you? Sick of guards commenting on your best skills, which they somehow know all about just by looking at you-even Sneak? This mod has a few options for fixing the issue, whether you want to reduce the distance these barks trigger at, or get rid of them altogether.

Some of what Project Proteus makes possible is already doable with Skyrim's console commands and existing mods, but this brings it all together in a single pop-up menu. It also lets you edit NPCs and items, even the weather. It’s a much more believable place in terms of building, room and furniture placement while still remaining aesthetically pleasing and a joy to spend time at with all the features you would expect from a castle retreat.

NPCs who have died remain dead, items left in storage can be retrieved, and so on. Skyrim has plenty of castle mods but I feel like Radun Castle is above most of them in terms of lore friendliness and quality.

While you could switch to another savegame to play your Khajiit archer for a while, Project Proteus lets you import your characters into an existing world state-meaning you can switch to a character with their own items, skills, and spells, but keep your current quest progression.
