📋 About This Mod

A simple mod to make the sound of having a crippled head quieter by about -15dB, quiet enough so you can still hear it, but not loud enough to be as ear-piercing as it was before. There's also an option to have it completely silent.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Last updated in November 2022, it remains a niche but popular fix.

  • Last updated in 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update.

🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download with the manager and it'll handle the installation automatically.
  • Make sure to check if you have any other sound overhaul mods that might conflict—load order matters, so place this after them.
  • If you want to hear the difference, test it by getting your head crippled in-game (e.g., by a raider with a melee weapon) before and after installing.
