This mod is Next Gen update-ready! It supports VR too!
Patch for Automatron, Far Harbor and Nuka-World DLCs now available!
In fact, every DLC is supported (the other DLCs have no music tracks on their own).
THIS MOD IS USELESS. I CAN JUST TURN OFF "MUSIC" VOLUME INTO SETTINGS.
Seriously, too many of you are pointing this out. If you turn off "Music" into settings, it will turn EVERY music off. This mod aims to select which tracks you want to be played and which ones you don't want to listen to.
WHAT IT DOES:
This mod simply mutes all the annoying, unimmersive and repetitive ambient music (that one you can hear while exploring cities, wastelands and dungeons) for a more vivid experience. You really won't know how terrifying a deathclaw roar is, or how oppressive the silence of a cave, how upsetting a violent radstorm, how pleasing sitting near a warm fireplace... until you'll mute those annoying tracks with this mod. Special Events music (like Vault 111 Door opening theme) IMHO are great for emphasizing some epic moments, so this mod leaves them untouched.
Another good news is that this mod is fully customizable! You can now adapt it to your own tastes.
The tracks you can decide to mute:
1. Explore themes: these tracks play when wandering in the Commonwealth or inside settlements.
2. Dungeon themes: these tracks play inside dungeons or vaults.
3. Combat themes: these tracks play when fighting against a generic enemy.
4. Boss themes: these tracks play when fighting against a boss or a legendary enemy.
5. Factions themes: these tracks play inside the major factions' headquarters.
6. UI themes: these tracks play alongside User Interface notification for level up, death, point of interest discovery, etc.
7. DLCs themes:
Sound Of Silence removes the repetitive ambient music from Fallout 4, letting you experience the Commonwealth's grim atmosphere without distraction. It supports VR and DLCs, and offers customization to choose which themes to keep. With 2,471 endorsements and 74,494 downloads, it's a popular choice for immersive playthroughs.
