✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 456 endorsements and over 8k downloads.
- Does what it says: makes Dogmeat's footsteps quieter without touching audio files.
- Tiny plugin mod, so it won't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESP/ESL plugin, make sure to load it after any mods that affect Dogmeat's sounds or behavior.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; it will handle the plugin order.
- Test in-game by walking with Dogmeat on different surfaces to hear the volume difference.
