REQUIREMENTS

Audio Overhaul for Skyrim

Immersive Sounds Compendium

INTRODUCTION

Audio Overhaul - Immersive Sounds Integration is the standalone plugin integrating the both mods. The design of the plugin is to favor a projects stronger elements while providing a cohesive and consistent package, rather just merging all of the sounds together like previous attempts to superseded the one provided. While choices have mostly been curated by myself (and therefore subjective), this patch is still strongly recommended for users of both mods. This is because Immersive Sounds and Audio Overhaul for Skyrim don't entirely overlap, and you'd be missing out on content of one or the other if you chose to not include it in your load order.

WHY IS THE PATCH SEPARATED?

The patch has been separated in support for basic mod managers and ease of updating of files.

Does this mean that development will continue beyond this update? No promises.

"Look! It's in the clouds!"

FEATURES LIST

In most cases, ISC and AOS have equal part in each category of sounds. However, a certain mod might take "priority" over another in terms of how much influence it has. Weapon sounds, for the most part, are handled by ISC. But AOS also makes edits to dagger weapon records to give them smaller impact sounds (a dagger isn't a longsword). This list is used to give a general idea of what you will be getting out of each mod when looking at these categories.
