📋 About This Mod

✅ Contains "SUBTLE" and "POWERFUL" versions -
✅ SUBTLE : More natural and fluid and not so annoying : CAN I KILL YOU GENTLY, GOOD SIR ? -
✅ POWERFUL : Replacement with default Musket sound. Loud and powerful : FEEL MA LASA YOU PUNK ! -
✅ Both versions contains NPC distant sound fx's to match (close, medium, far) player sound -
✅ Both versions interchangeable -

Let's keep it simple and short. I was a bit of disappointed by default Laser Rifle/ Pistol sound fx. It's boring and kinda blank. So, this is my Simply Better Laser Sound FX replacement. It will replace ONLY pistol and rifle sound fx. Gatling, Auto Rifle/ Pistol and Musket sound NOT INCLUDED. I feel they kinda OK for the time being (prob change/ tweak those later).

  • Both versions interchangeable -
  • Copy "Sound" folder (MAIN MOD) in to "Data" folder ("Fallout4.exe" location) -
  • Open "Fallout4.ini" located in "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\MY GAMES\FALLOUT4" folder -
  • Scroll  Down to "" and  replace  "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\"  WITH (NO QUOTES, OFC) -

"sResourceDataDirsFinal=Interface\, LODSettings\, Materials\, Meshes\, Misc\, Music\, Programs\, Scripts\, ShadersFX\, Sound\, Strings\, Textures\, Vis\"

(THIS SHOULD ACCOUNT FOR ALL MODS)

- Repeat same procedure for "Fallout4_Default.ini" ("Fallout4.exe" location). This will prevent "Fallout4.ini" overwriting -
