📋 About This Mod

This mod is a port from Fallout 3's ATMOS Ambient Sound Overhaul

Description from the original page:

Note:

The version of this mod is the original, not the 'subtle' version. I can port that too if enough people are interested.

Future Plans:

I'd like to be able to export all the objects and x y z positions via xEdit, to be able to make a version that does not touch world/cell records, but have as of yet not found a way to do this with the export script. (Skill issue).

If anyone has experience with this, or any other suggestions or ideas, or if i've made any mistakes here please let me know.

I have ported a handful of mods to my own game, but again if I've not understood or clearly missed something here please reach out - It's not intentional and i can then try to fix it.

Compatibility:

As of 1. 1, all sounds are added to the world by script that runs once on first load. This means maximum compatibility, and is also safe for adding mid-playthrough (But probably not removing, on either versions).

Should be compatible with everything.
