📋 About This Mod

Nights and Inns Audio Enhancement

-A Cozy Nighttime Audio Mod-

Description

Inns and Taverns will be filled with high quality ambient audio "chatter" of the townsfolk talking and laughing both inside the Inn and outside. The ambient audio chatter will only be heard when there are a large amount NPCs in the Inn usually after closing time. If the Inn or Tavern is remote and doesnt get a lot of customers it will remain quiet with no ambient chatter present. If it is moderately packed semi quite audio chatter can be heard making the audio dynamic and well thought out.

The audio files were created by utilizing 30+ audio tracks to build a unique experience. I isolated and audio manipulated the voices to closely match the voices of vanilla characters in Skyrim so the "talking" should sound like its coming from vanilla NPC's talking things out in the Inn or Tavern.  I made a version for quieter Inn's with a few people in them so its more like mummers and one for busy inn's which is reflects many people talking, laughing, drinking, scheming, etc. in addition to muted audio  that is used for dead Inns.

As an added bonus Lunar Moths and Torchbugs can only spawn between 8pm and 11pm in the vanilla game. This results in rarely seeing these fun little creatures. I have extended the time from 8pm to 4am. This means you will see more Lunar moths and torch bugs at night covering fields and forests with dancing sparkling lights.

Note: There are no additional placed NPCs in this mod. The mod relys on vanilla NPCs that go to the Inns for a drink after closing time (8pm). The mod is also flagged ESL

Compatibility

-Big picture Its compatible - If there is a conflict I provided a patch and to date only 1 mod really caused a issue so I made a patch for it, that said I recommend you use my HD Audio file over anyone else's if they replaced it and place my mod after any Audio Overhaul mod on Nexus to get my intended effect. Look in xEdit if you want to fine tune your experience otherwise like I said place my mod after your Audio Overhauls or a Inn Altering Overhaul and everything should always work.

-The mod "Murmurs and Mead" created by Clofas is a unique new exception. Because of the use of BOS their mod will not be compatible with any mod that alters the Inn audio. What I mean by this is that the use of BOS forces only their audio to come through which isnt a bad thing if you like that audio! But
