Skyrim detection meter always says im detected when crouching.

Whenever i crouch the detection meter eye is open, even when nobody is around and looking at me.
I still get the sneak attack bonus and all of that. very annoying, any fix?

Depends on what your sneak level is what, what yer weaing , light levels etc al....if your sneak level is incredbly low...the eye will ALWAYS remain open..sort of like 'a bull in a china shop'- you might NOT actually BREAK anything while in the shop- but the shear sounds of your footfalls at the very LEAST will be detected....try getting a muffle enchantment, and boost the crap out of your sneakl level to level 90 or above.....


Here's a (spoiler' hint how- go visit the imperial soldier who helped you escape from the fort in the very beginning (forgot his name)- be certain to have a dagger in hand, a simple heal others spell, wait downstairs till his family goes out for the morning/day....walk up to him (facing his back) in a crouch- then start slicing away- if his health goes too critically low, or he turns completely around at you - then stop swinging (or heal him), wait till he turns to face away from you again, then keep swinging- soon enough your sneak, longsword, restoration and maybe one other skill tree will be levelling MUCH faster....first time around you should max out sneak alone in say 30-60 mins of real time.....

thats wrong. the sneak meter indicate the player if NPC see him or not while crouching. if it would be always on (eye open) then there would be not much sense in that indicator

@OP
you could try a mod like https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76130/ to force you out of combat

It depends at which point you start building up sneak, start at level one, and the eye will stay closed most of the time.
Start at level forty and it's nearly impossible to get that eye closed, making it a right royal pain to develop.

I fixed it.
As I said it was a visual glitch, I just walked through a door.
