📋 About This Mod

Sounds of Cyrodiil
Version 1. 1 - 07/08/2011 Instructions on how to install and uninstall are in the readme. What does it do? Sounds of Cyrodiil adds around 200+ sound effects to the game world that are played from 5400+ hand-placed sound emission points. It affects every cell, region and more in the game. From Civilization to the Dungeons; From the Wilds to Special Events, No environment is left soundless anymore. The time of day gives you a different atmosphere. So when walking in the city streets during the day, you\'ll hear the echo of people shouting in the distance, doors opening and closing, workers sawing things. While at night, cats fight for territory, dogs bark, drunkards yell. In dungeons, the enemy type that lives in them will make itself heard. In an undead infested dungeon, zombies moan and spirits yell. In a daedric cave, demonic voices are heard around you. Like most sound effects, there is a random delay between each sound and a random direction when it happens so you can never guess what sound will play next, when and where it will come from. Thus, keeping you on the edge in Dungeons and never bored in cities and taverns. The other main feature is being able to hear the outside from the inside. If you get close to windows inside buildings, you\'ll hear what\'s going on outside. If you\'re in a tent, you\'ll hear the wilderness around you. If you\'re in the entrance of a cave and look outside, you\'ll hear the birds and other animals going about their lives. If you\'re in your house and you look outside, you\'ll hear what\'s going in the street. Sometimes you might hear a noisy drunkard who left the tavern and even neighbors yelling each other to shut up as they\'re trying to sleep. In taverns, patrons chat, yell they want more wine, burp, cough or laugh out loud. When wandering on the city streets in the evening, walk by a tavern and you\'ll hear the activity from outside. There are also songs that are played in those fine establishments. Depending on the social class of the tavern (Low, Mid, High), you get a different song set and a different sound set. Patrons burp and yell more in low class taverns than in high class ones. In the Wilds, take a stroll on the Gold Coast and listen to the ocean waves hitting the shore. Climb mountains and listen to the wind becoming colder and louder as you get to the peak. Take a walk in the forest and hear small mammals running from you in the bushes and grass. In Special Events, certain quests or events have received some audio goodness. See in the detailed soundlist below for more information, since it contains spoilers. Finally, this mod would never have been possible without the contribution of many sound recorders and artists from Freesound.org. There\'s a file in the archive with the credits for everyone who made the sounds. A HUGE thanks to them, otherwise the sounds would not have been
