📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,267 endorsements and over 21k downloads — clearly a lot of players wanted this.
- Does exactly what it says: swaps the loud perk sounds for the tamer luck tree ones, no extra fluff.
- Tiny mod, easy to install and forget — just drop it in and enjoy quieter VATS.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 — might not be compatible with newer Fallout 4 updates or DLC, so test it.
- Only affects two perks — if you wanted other sound tweaks, this won't help.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the perk unlocked before testing — the sound only plays when the perk activates in VATS.
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- Since it's an old mod, check the posts section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility issues with current game versions.
