Hear Nirnroots from further away. Now you can usually hear them before you see them.

Thank you Mrazi for the video.

Now BAIN friendly   

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.

    Anything that changes the Nirnroot sound or changes the Nirnroot price.

    Install:Manually install by copying the plugin (.esp) to the Data folder where Oblivion is installed and activate it with the Oblivion Launcher.

    or use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or Oblivion Mod Manager

    Plugins are 100% mergable into a Bashed Patch

    Load order:Just put the plugin somewhere at the end of the load order.
