📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod adds subtle hydraulic sounds to the footsteps of Power Armor.

Its subtle on purpose.

I personally don't want a hydraulic press blasting in my ears with every step.

PA can be worn all the time in NV. Unlike in FO4 where you can only wear it for short amount of time

The sounds originally come from the Fallout 4 mod with the same name.

The author ONIXer gave me permission to use his mod in NV quite a while ago.

Sweet6Shooter helped me out with the scripting! Big thanks!

Here is a comparison video between vanilla PA footsteps and with the additional sounds of this mod

Absolute game changer. ... - gibbothegracious

Wow, as someone who loves power armor, this mod feels so essential to use now. Especially with the release of Titans of the West 2. 0. I finally feel powerful in my power armor. ... - MutantMan14

Compatibility

The Audio Template gets replaced via script, so as long as you're not using any mod that's doing the same thing it should be compatible with anything.

For mod authors:

If you want to make your custom PA mod compatible with this sound mod, simply add your custom PA to the FormList "AllPowerArmor" that's found in FalloutNV.esm.
