📋 About This Mod

Video

yC5jKA4vMi4 A quick video of the mod made by Slothability aka dbtheslothking. Great work!!!

Description

Short Description-watch the video. Long Description- Long ago, in the land of Daggerfall, there lived a creature with such a fearsome screech that all who listened were instantly filled with fear. Now, in the land of Skyrim, the creature has returned. It\'s name: The Skeleton. Wait a minute. Skeletons make wimpy noises, right? Not anymore! Now all skeletons in Skyrim make the high pitched screeches that are straight from the Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Now all Skyrim skeletons make the same noises as the Daggerfall Skeletons. Please feel free to leave comments/feedback/suggestions/requests and as always, PLEASE DON\'T FORGET TO ENDORSE!!!

Newest Version

This new version will also change the draugr sounds to the sounds of Daggerfall skeletons. Note: if you choose the download with nmm, only vanilla skeleton files will be replaced. The draugr version is under optional files.

Requirements

Just a base version of Skyrim. No updates or DLC\'s required.

Install/Uninstall

Recommended: Use NMM. Manual: Place the sound folder into your data folder (yourskyrimdirectoryhere/data). Uninstall: If you used NMM deactivate it, if you installed manually then delete the folder Skeleton found in skyrimdirectory/data/sound/fx/npc/skeleton. Just delete the skeleton folder. If you have the draugr version just delete the Draugr folder as well.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2013 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other audio overhauls.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
  • Since this mod only changes skeleton sounds, it's safe to use with most other audio mods, but test for conflicts if you have a sound overhaul.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod needs conversion — the original was made for Oldrim.
