📋 About This Mod
With the use of zorak912's Sinister Ambient Sounds as a framework—taken with his consent—I was able to simply replace his sound files with the files I have provided.
This mod features various animals: from stoats to North American porcupines to elks to mountain lions to bears, wild mustangs, and many more. I won't list them all so that you have the opportunity to discover the animals that surreptitiously roam the commonwealth.
I was inspired to create an ambience that makes FO4 more lively and ultimately simulate the brilliant atmosphere RDR2 has provided.
I've set placeholders for some files for now till I can come up with more ideas to fill them in; In other words, updates will be made.
The mod requires Reverb and Ambience Overhaul. This mod does not require Sinister Ambient Sounds; however, I recommend checking it out if you're looking for a more horrific atmosphere.
DISCLOSURE: I was running ambient wasteland with this mod so not all animal sounds are from this one. The one's showcased in the video are the following: a squirrel, a herd of horses, a coyote, and a grizzly bear. I was also using 3d binaural audio (highly recommended) for better surround sound.
