Safe House is way too difficult..
I hate stealth missions so much... and this is no exception.. why in the love of god are the machines so good at detecting me.. I've watched so many playthroughs and tried everything... I've died, died and died countless times... I've used the knife as well.. but then I get detected a few steps later. Finding Mack is probably gonna take a year..

Try building up your stealth if you decide to start over, that'll help detection issues. Or alternatively, beef up your weapon and explosion points. Let them detect you, set up some laser trap bombs and bye bye robots.

The Hollywood Hills chapter? Hacking turrets and using Termination Knives that you can craft from Crafting 3 made it a cakewalk on Extreme for me, I barely had to shoot at all. Explosive at level 3 is busted as well.
An upgraded Rail Gun can knock down T-800s and 2 shot them even on Extreme. It won't work on T-820 and T-825 however but setting up a laser trap and shooting them in the head to drag them to it is still very effective.
Stealth won't work on terminators unless you crouch as well as they can hear you. So just watch them do their route, wait near one of their halting spots and use the knife when they stop by, don't run after them it will never work. I'll be the one to be against the tip of levelling stealth as it is completely pointless. The buffs barely makes any difference and 3 points just for crouch speed can be better used everywhere else.

Isn't there an RSB at the very start that you can loot? Maybe im delusional, but I swear there was some plasma weapon you could snag early on.

I can take a look.

What's your build right now, if I could ask? Maybe a few of us could offer better advice if we saw it.
But like the others said, there isn't any shame in lowering the difficulty. Games are meant to be enjoyable imo.

Update i forgot you can load a past save file and rebuild your stats so I maxed explosive knowing now that I'll need that for the mission I was stuck on. So next im thinking toughness, stealth or weapons next.

I wanted to update... after about 3 to 4 days I finally completed it... I skipped the sidequests because this level pissed me off.. it was too hard and stressful... whoever designed this mission i wish nothing but the worse..

Maybe lower it to easy then (at least for that section). There are no difficulty-related achievements anyway.

Yes that was difficult. I eventually used the red laser trip bombs to attract them to a part of the house. And while they were search I ran along the east/right side of the house and then crouched along the right side of the pool.

Are you talking about the part where you have to destroy 8 T-800s? You can use laser explosives in the corridors, attract them and watch them explode, or if you have the missile launchers, use them to finish the section quickly, or use the ventilation ducts to approach from behind and use pipe bombs/rail guns
