📋 About This Mod
Radiant Birds (Less Radiant)
Lowers the volume on Indipindi's excellent mod Radiant Birds (required)
Indipindi's original mod is really great. My only complaint was that I thought the birds were too loud. (And then some.) So I reduced the volume significantly. I think version 0. 5c is nearly right. (Good enough that I CBA.) Some sounds are deliberately louder than others. I wanted them to startle occasionally, but without causing madness. If it's still too loud for you, try the old version 0. 5b.
Radiant Birds (Less Radiant) is dependent on the original mod Radiant Birds which can be found at:
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2397/?
Installation:
Install Radiant Birds first, then overwrite that .esp file with the .esp file from this mod.
This will not work without the original mod's sound files.
Uninstallation:
Just remove it / them. (You can install, remove, upgrade - no problem - they won't affect saved games.)
0. 5d - Gonna make some more sounds a little louder some day.
0. 5 - First Version. Starts with v. 0. 5, to match the number of the final version of Indipindi's mod. Simply lowered the volume.
0. 5b - Second first version. Includes the actual changes. (Previous version was identical to the original, whoops.)
0. 5c - Final version? Adjusts some sounds (louder).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,569 endorsements and 69,571 downloads.
- Fixes a common complaint about the original mod's loudness.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Radiant Birds mod, so you need both installed.
- Last updated in 2017—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version.
- Only adjusts volume; doesn't change or add new bird sounds.
For Skyrim players who love the added bird life from Radiant Birds but find the audio too intrusive. If you're a completionist who wants a more natural ambient soundscape without the ear-piercing chirps, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the original volume or want more than a volume tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Radiant Birds mod installed first, then overwrite with this one.
- If you're using a mod manager, load this mod after Radiant Birds to ensure the volume change takes effect.
- Test the volume in a bird-heavy area like Falkreath to see if the reduction is enough for your taste.
