Version 1. 1 WHATS NEW:
- []Nirnroots in pots now have sound (Not so loud like the naturally growing ones)
-
[]The sound volume increase as you approach Nirnroots is more fluid now
[]Decreased the volume when you are close (Not blaring loud anymore but still loud)
[]Decreased the distance Nirnroots can be heard from (You need to be a little bit closer before you hear them now)
-
[]You have an option for Nirnroots to have value or not (Only install one plugin, Has Value or Has No value)ONLY USE ONE PLUGIN*
The version that makes Nirnroot have value increases their gold value so they are worthwhile to collect if not using them for Quest/Alchemy.
