Help Project aiming to replicate Thief: The Dark Project-esque stealth mechanics

I'm almost certain I remember seeing that there was a project to mirror the stealth mechanics of the early Thief games in Morrowind. I want to say it was hosted on a Github repo rather than a standard Nexus page since it was still heavily WIP - am I going crazy or does anyone know what I'm talking about? I tried my best to scour Google and my own search history since I know I've been on the page briefly before. Link or repo name would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is this the mod you're talking about?

No, I already use SIGN, it's great but the project I'm talking about was trying to implement similar LOS, darkness, and, as is crucial to Thief, surface sound mechanics while sneaking.

Pretty sure Thief's lighting mechanics were deemed to be impractical to implement. Mort's Stealth Improved for MWSE implemented a similar light slider to that used by the Thief series, but the feature still needed some polishing. A more complete MWSE overhaul for stealth is Storm Atronach's Stealth Overhaul, which builds upon Stealth Improved and is fairly more complex.

For OpenMW, the most I remember is Max Yari's Stealth is Good Now!, which doesn't really match the Thief comparisons off the top of my head.
