📋 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!

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

For mod authors:
