Any mods to fix stealth/surprised mechanics?

[You Touched My Tralala]

I find playing as assassin rogue too inconvenient. Way too much random in surprised mechanics and whether or not enemies can be surprised at all.

I wish there was at least a contextual information if attacking right now would apply surprised status (unless enemies have alert feat), because way too many times I end up attacking from stealth and end up in regular fight, and in regular fight assassin is just rogue with one round advantage. Having this information would fix entire perspective of this subclass cause I fathom most people choose Thief because it has guaranteed benefits as opposed to Assassin which benefits rarely play and unpredictable..

So the question is, since Larian don't rush adding convenience features, is there a mod which adds similar or better experience for ambush mechanics?

I believe going into turn based mode before making the stealth attack will trigger the surprised status.

I also found that making sneak attack trigger without confirmation helps. Idk if it's intentional
