📋 About This Mod

More Immersive Sound by Deckard ------------------------------- V1.d release with 17 new ambient sounds for indoors and outdoors! Completely rewritten scripts. About this mod -------------- This mod tweaks the stock in game ambient sounds to improve immersion and the nature feeling. I really like to play with the music but I want to hear and feel the nature around me.

There are 3 esp files bundled in this mod Credits & Special thanks ------------------------- _morbus_ for Better Bell Sounds. PychErox for his great replacement sounds mods and ideas. PirateLors for allowing me to use the sound file from is Morrowind mod and for his explanations and his great script tips. Base Part --------- \"MIS.esp\" The base mod that tweaks the in game ambient sounds \"MIS low wind.esp\" The base mod with lowered wind sound level Only use one of these! Optional Part ------------- \"More Immersive Sound Optional Part.esp\" The optional part adds for now 17 new sounds in nature and dungeons. It adds a lot of game atmosphere both outside and inside. The outdoor sounds are linked to sripts that distribute it according to wheater and day time. The indoor sounds are attached to some object.
