📋 About This Mod
Fixes non Howling wolfs with the Dawnguard DLC active. Bethesda seems to have forgotten to add a SoundPlay command to the wolf_idle_spice.hkx Replacing it with the original fixed that, i don\'t know what bethesda did to this file but by comparing the two files i can\'t find any major changes except the missing SoundPlay command. This mod is per request.
