📋 About This Mod
Remove Idiot Savant Sounds removes the silly sound effects that play when you activate Idiot Savant.
Personally, I found the sounds to be very atmosphere breaking. During a tense battle, hearing a goofy laugh was just annoying.
I have replaced the relevant audio files with blank sounds. The source of the blank audio file is Elec0's Activate-VATS Fail Sound Removal mod.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Open your Fallout4.ini file found at 'Documents/My Games/Fallout4/Fallout4.ini". 2. Change the line that reads "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\" to read "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, sound\" 3. Unzip the zip file to your Fallout4 game directory (ultimately placing a "sound" folder in your already existing Data directory)
