Added compatibility patch for Chapter II in the Optional Files section.
Version 1. 01 - Fixed a duplicate entry in the MUSTownTest music type, now points to the right track.
Melodies of Civilization is fully compatible with Still, Hun Lovaas and Around the Fire, my other music mods for exploration, combat and tavern music respectively.
I've also made Dawnguard Music Overhaul, which expands on that DLC's soundtrack!
All my music mods are also integrated in Soulmancer Music Merge.
A compatibility patch for Chapter II is available in the Optional Files section.
Xbox/BethesdaNet version: non-replacer (includes all five of my music mods - port by Bass painter)/ replacer (with or without Dawnguard Music Overhaul - port by Clofas1)
Playstation port : Here, or All in one (port by Kovac 64)
Part of the The Phoenix Flavour (Merged music plugin available here)
The mod adds new music to the cities and castles (think Dragonsreach) of Skyrim. These are not royalty free tracks packed together to make a quick mod. These were written specifically for Skyrim and have its atmosphere, world and general vibe in mind. This music is designed to fit with Skyrim and the original OST as if it was always there. As such, I made liberal use of melodies and motifs from other TES games, but arranged and orchestrated with the Skyrim style in mind. Of course, I also added a lot of my own melodic material. TL:DR no metal, electronic music, cheesy/cheap orchestral music, ect...
The mod adds:
- 4 city day tracks
- 2 city night tracks
- 2 palace/castle tracks
It's worth noting tha
Melodies of Civilization adds over 25 minutes of lore-friendly, immersive music composed specifically for Skyrim. With 5,239 endorsements and 2.5 million downloads, this audio mod is a popular choice for players seeking to refresh the game's soundtrack while staying true to its atmosphere.
