📋 About This Mod
Intro
One of the first things I noticed was the incorrect door opening sound of the Imperial City Gates.
The gates are HUGE, but the implemented sound in Rematered is for small or medium door use only.
Another sad mismatch and so immersion-breaking.
This mod fixes that.

I tried to add a closing gate sound because it's missing in Remastered (a novice mistake?), but I hit a wall. It requires more digging..
Researching everyday these days XD.. Ha!
Installation
==============
Unzip and put 1 file (.pak) inside...
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks\~mods\
XboxGames\The Elder Scrolls IV- Oblivion Remastered\Content\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks\~mods\
if you don't have ~mods folder, create one.
if you accidentally put the file in Paks folder, it works just fine.
even if you create a folder inside ~mods folder and put it in there, that's fine, too.
i.e. if you create a folder named electionis and put all my mods in there, no problem. It just works.
this is particularly useful if your mod list gets longer and takes time to recognize all different names and versions, preventing a possible confusion.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 201 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a better gate sound.
- Recently updated (May 2025), so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one sound—if you wanted more audio overhauls, this is too narrow.
- May not be compatible with other mods that alter the same sound file.
For players who find the default city gate sound annoying and want a quick, no-fuss fix. If you're into audio immersion mods, this is a nice small addition. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive sound overhauls—this only touches one sound.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a sound replacement, ensure you place the file in the correct directory (e.g., Data folder for Bethesda games) or use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- If you use other audio mods, check load order to ensure this one takes precedence for the gate sound.
- Test the sound in-game by opening a city gate to confirm it works as expected.
