📋 About This Mod
So the idea of this mod was that I wanted the player or NPCs to actually sound like they're groaning in pain while they begin to take on the form of a beast, and I wanted this specific sound to be based on their gender too. (Link to the pages where I got the sound clips: Female / Male, credits to the original authors.)
So how this mod works is that it replaces one of the transforming animation files with a couple of new ones that has the new sounds baked into them, through the help of Dynamic Animation Replacer.
(In version 1. 1 I replaced the ww_stage2.hkx file instead, be sure to delete the files from version 1. 0.)
I posted an alternate plugin where I undid the record for "NPCWerewolfTransformation", so the original transformation sound and the new one(s) will overlap each other, this might be a cool option for those who are using more... brutal vanilla sound replacers (bones popping, etc), combined with the humanoid screaming sound effects from my mod. :D
Since this mod relies on DAR, I don't think there will be any conflicts whatsoever, so this should be compatible with mods like Faster Transform, or mods that replace the vanilla werewolf sounds. And yes, this should even be compatible with werewolf overhaul mods like MTSE or Growl.

An optional plugin makes the new sounds overlap with the vanilla transformation sound for a more brutal effect. Compatible with werewolf overhauls like Growl.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 227 endorsements and over 8,600 downloads

⚠️ Cons
- Requires Dynamic Animation Replacer, which may be a dependency some users don't have

- Compatibility with other mods that modify the same animation files is not guaranteed
For Skyrim players who want more immersive and gender-specific werewolf transformation sounds. If you're using werewolf overhauls like Growl and want to add painful groans, this is a solid pick. Skip if you don't use DAR or prefer to keep vanilla sounds.
