📋 About This Mod
Simply makes the obnoxious "waves" sound that plays whenever you go near a water source quieter. That's it.
What(er)?
So, this doesn't seem to be a problem in OpenMW, but in vanilla Morrowind the waves sound (the one that plays whenever you go near a water source, interior or exterior) is waaay too loud, and annoying, and distracting.
I figured there would be a mod addressing this particular issue already, but i tried to search through Nexus some years ago, and found nothing.
I also tried searching again today, and again found nothing. Except today i got around to reinstalling Audacity and finally changed it myself.
It's just two vanilla sound files (watr_wave.wav and watr_wave2.wav) except with their volume lowered by 10dB each.
If you don't have the same issue in vanilla Morrowind either, then you don't need this mod.
