📋 About This Mod

Sonorum Arcana is now released, and as such this mod may not be updated as frequently!

You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.

Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.

Huge thanks to Sswaye for the fantastic work creating the showcase video and this great cover for the page. Go check out his Flagship ReShades and his MCO movesets!: Sswaye's Nexus Profile

Hibernus is a near-complete overhaul of frost magic sounds, comprehensively mixed and hand-tailored to chill you to the bone. Frost magic has always felt underwhelming in Skyrim despite it being set in the coldest region of Tamriel, so hopefully you'll enjoy what I've made for you.

Here are some soundcloud previews of Hibernus' sound effects:

Installation:

Install like any other audio mod, loaded after all other audio mods that affect frost magic. I highly recommend using Immersive Sounds - Compendium as a baseline as all my mods are based around its architecture.
