Installation instructions
The file included is simply the .wav to replace the standard AmbientCrickets.wav file, wherever it may be in your mod stack.
Before replacing the .wav in your stack, make a backup of the default, just in case you don't like this sound effect.
For me, I am using VanillaPlus, with CleanedSoundClips ver 1. 3:
