It in fact replaces it with silence. This was done on request of \"The Dictator\" of the Nexus Forums. It\'s use is to stop the noise becoming annoying when you do a lot of evil things at once, such as stealing a lot of stuff. Installation: Place the Sound folder into your \"\\Fallout 3\\Data\\\" folder. Follow the important instructions that are located above. Uninstall: Just delete the new \"sound\" folder from your DATA folder. If you have other sound enhancements, then go to \"sound/fx/ui\" and delete the Bad Karma Sound there. Version History: 1. 0: Replaces the Bad Karma sound with silence. Creator: MechanicalPirate/Curtis64 (Yay, early F03 Modder :D )
