📋 About This Mod
Skyrim has a notorious combat music bug. Sometimes when you exit combat, the music keeps playing non-stop. If you make a save, the next time you load up the save, the music keeps playing. It destroys my eardrums. This mod fixes that.
How it's done
Everytime a combat ends, this plugin counts for 5 seconds and sends an additional console command to end combat music. If combat music ends normally, nothing will happen; if not, it will be terminated by this command.
In addition, every time you load up a save, the plugin checks if you're in a combat. If not, it also sends a console command to end the music.
Example 1: combat music keeps playing on save load:

Example 2: combat music keeps playing when you get killed and load up a new save where you are not in combat

- Why is in SKSE?

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (4,808 endorsements) that just works.
- Massive download count (1.2M) proves it's a go-to solution.
- Lightweight and unobtrusive—no bloat, just the fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or SKSE updates.
- Only addresses the combat music bug; no additional features or options.
- Requires SKSE, so it's not for players who avoid script extenders.
For Skyrim players who are tired of combat music dragging on after the fight ends. If you're on PC and already use SKSE, this is a must-have quality-of-life fix. Skip if you're on console or don't want to deal with script extenders.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest SKSE installed for your Skyrim version, or the plugin won't load.
- Place the DLL in your Skyrim Data folder or use a mod manager—either works fine.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod after SKSE is installed to avoid load order issues.
