AURA - A Sound Overhaul Mod

I. The mod

Currently available (in one BAIN-friendly package):

• []Full - an integrated hub of AURA modules, including:

  Outdoor Ambient (environment sounds per region, time, and weather)   Populated Ambient (town sounds per culture and time)   Interior Ambient (atmospheric loops for guilds, taverns, temples, tombs and many more)

Service Voices (comments from service NPCs)

Containers (containers open/close sound)

UI (additional, immersive little sounds)

PC (fatigue, health, sickness etc.)

Miscellaneous (little stuff - water splashes, yurt/bearskin door sounds, variable rain and wind sounds, rain on exteriors etc.)

• []Replacer - a replacer for some of the "worst offenders" amongst MW's original sounds. Aimed at providing a high quality alternative, without straying too far from vanilla experience. Remember to back up the originals. Not required for the mod to work.[/]

  []There are also additional replacers for Animated Morrowind and Passage of Prayers. sounds.

  II. Installation

  This mod requires MWSE-Lua (and thus will not work in OpenMW). Install first using MGE XE and run the updater.

  If you want to use the unsupported and obtrusive previous soundpack, you should download the latest full version anyway. No

  1.x.x version will work with 2.x.x or 3.x.x etc.- you have been warned! You can obviously mix and match the sounds themselves, just observe the folder structure and remember to rename the files to be < 32 characters.

  III. Compatibility

  Technically compatible with existing sound mods. The result, however, is something you should determine for yourself. I've so far tested it with official BC sounds plugin and it plays along just fine. Replacer file will of course replace original sounds, but it's fully optional. Compatible with all recommended mods listed below.

  You can also check out my music mod: Better Music System Redone. Or just play with no music at all.

  Works best atmosphere-wise when paired with Watch the Skies and Vapourmist.
