📋 About This Mod



So, I like my music magical and northern.

Boreas Music Redone replaces vanilla soundtrack with around 16 hours of folk music. I tried to create the atmosphere of the North. However, I've always liked Skyrim's magical touch, especially in the night or in a blizzard, so I tried to balance some dark ambient and nordic folk with more melodical tracks.

In short, comparing with Yggdrasil, my mod's tone is "lighter", comparing with Celtic Music in Skyrim, my mod's tone is "darker".

15/09/22 – currently, you can say that Boreas is in its beta stage - I'm sure that I will add more tracks, get rid of others, etc, so there will be updates. Also, I'm planning to change some FX sounds and release them as an optional module to my mod.

16/10/22 – after a few major updates, I'm mostly satisfied with the mod: beta stage is over. I believe I've dealt with known problems (some CTDs and quiet music, everything was tested), however, there is still much to be done. For example, I want to create patch for Lux because it overwrites my changes in cells' music type. Also, I'm still planning to make FX overhaul, so stay tuned!
