📋 About This Mod

Power Armor Footstep Sounds (PAFS) is a simple mod that simply carries out the simple task of simple sound editing for Power Armor footsteps.

It just adds the new sounds to the exact paths and filenames that Fallout New Vegas or Tale of Two Wastelands would draw it's sounds from in the first place.

This was inspired by Alternate Power Armor Footstep Sounds by Stride11, and exists now due to some issues that mod caused. And since it was seemingly abandoned in 2016, I picked up the Infinity Gauntlet and said "I'll do it myself."

I narrowed down the location of FNV and TTW's sound files for Power Armor and just slammed Fallout 4 step sounds into the folders. Works fine.

Compatible with basically everything that doesn't also change Power Armor footsteps, specifically. This mod doesn't change other footsteps or sounds.

The locations (where my files will overwrite), if you care

Data>Sound>fx>fol>powerarmor_walkrun

Data>Sound>fx>fst>armor>power>left

Data>Sound>fx>fst>armor>power>right

Now read closely. Pick the right one for you.

Very quiet. But still noticeable.

You can tell they're there. But not too loud.

Medium Plus: (Recommended)

Almost didn't exist, but made for myself when Loud was too much. Not too loud to be annoying, but loud enough to sound powerful.

Very noticeable. Chonky. Powerful. Can be annoying.

Louder than loud. This is for those who (for some reason) think (for whatever reason) that LOUD just isn't loud enough. It's annoying. Install at your own discretion.

STUPID LOUD!

This is not a joke or a bit. I will just flat-out tell you now - this only exists to see how insane people are. Do NOT use this version. DO NOT USE WITH HEADPHONES. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR X Y Z and all that as well. I'm responsible for only telling you NOT to use this version. If you don't like it, blow a speaker or an eardrum, that's on you.

Permissions:

Don't care. Credit preferred, but it's whatever.

Credits: Bethesda for Fallout series, Stride11 for inspiration, Woooombat For Titans of the New West armor changes used in the images (so you can see how well the mod works) and you, even if you don't like it.

Unless you downloaded the forbidden version, you got what you deserved.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 343 endorsements and over 75k downloads
  • No plugin files means no load order headaches
  • Simple drop-in install gets you Fallout 4 audio immersion

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects footstep sounds—no other audio changes
  • Last updated in 2022, so may not be tested with the latest game patches
  • Requires manual file placement if you're not using a mod manager
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a touch of Fallout 4's audio polish without messing with plugins. Also great for TTW players who want consistent footstep sounds across both games. Skip if you're looking for broader sound overhauls—this is purely a footstep swap.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Tale of Two Wastelands, make sure you install this after the TTW main files so it doesn't get overwritten.
  • Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep your Data folder clean—this mod has no plugin, so it's just loose files.
  • Test in third person and first person to hear the difference—footstep sounds can be subtle depending on your audio settings.
