Alternative Sounds for Climates of Tamriel

CLIMATES OF TAMRIEL IS REQUIRED

The default sounds in Climates of Tamriel were not to my taste, so I made some new ones.

I always thought there was too much thunder, so it is now decreased by 30%. Theoretically it should be much more random, and thunder sounds should now fade during dialogue too.

As of CoT 5. 7SE, the volume slider for LightningFX does not appear to work (Technically it does, but only for the special lightning spell CoT uses) and the thunder volume is tied to the effects slider. I have assigned all thunder sounds to their own category, which I called 'Thunder' (derp).

SSE ENGINE FIXES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Volume levels for the new 'Thunder' slider will not be saved unless SSE Engine Fixes is installed. This is a game engine bug. It is not a bug with this mod.

INSTALLATION

Install as usual using your mod manager of choice, for manual installation, simply copy the files into the data directory.

Place this mod so it loads after Climates of Tamriel in your load order.

COMPATIBILITY

Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE - Load this mod after Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE.

As for now, this mod is only compatible with Climates of Tamriel 5. 7SE. It may be with others.

As for other conflicting mods, you may run into issues with anything that messes with ambient thunder sounds. I am currently using it with Immersive Sounds: Compendium, and it works fine.

UNINSTALLATION

Should be safe just to uninstall whenever. If you're paranoid:

1. Go indoors. (Proper indoors, like in a house or cave.)

2. Save your game. (Just in case, so you can go back to it.)

3. Open the console (~), Type 'fw 81a'

4. Save again.

5. Exit game.

6. Uninstall in mod manager, or delete all files from this mod from the data directory.

7. Reload the save from step 4.

HOW TO FORCE STORMY WEATHER

Save your game. Press tilde (~) to bring up the console. Type 'fw 1044831'. Don't mess with the console if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks and enjoy.
