📋 About This Mod
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.
Special thanks to ZootAllures91 and magnet_sphere55 for help figuring out the CK side of this mod.
Aptrgangr, meaning After-Goer, is a complete rework of Draugr and Dragon Priest audio. I have taken the liberty of removing several Dovahzul lines from the draugr in order to make this mod work more effectively, as I feel the dovahzul lines take away from the threatening nature of Draugr. If you dislike this change, simply disable the included ESP file. I have also replaced Shout audio for the most part, but be aware as one of the shout sounds has not been replaced due to the .fuz file not generating a connected .lip file when being converted, meaning I cannot convert the .wav back to .fuz.
This project has been a long time coming, and fortunately I've finally had the spare time to finish it. Below are some previews for Draugr:
