📋 About This Mod
Murmurs & Mead
Requires Base Object Swapper
§
18
unique loops for every tavern and inn in Skyrim§ Loops range from
30
seconds to2
mins in length and will play at specific & varied times of day, depending on location§
Options to replace the exterior tavern loop, campfire & fireplace sounds, and to silence tavern music
In vanilla Skyrim, there is a single tavern loop that plays from
8
pm to2
am in13
locations. You may or may not have noticed it, but it's a generic loop of loud chatter that sounds very out of place. USSEP increases the volume of this loop by decreasing its static attenuation to0
.Murmurs & Mead uses Base Object Swapper to give each tavern & inn a unique loop, focusing on subtlety and realism.
FOMOD Options:
First step will install the main sounds and plugin. ESL Header 1. 70
Next you have 2 options for your SWAP.ini
The default locations are the 13 taverns & inns that already have the tavern loop sound marker. This will simply swap those for new sound markers.
The default locations plus will include all 13 default locations, plus the 6 inns without the default sound marker. For these locations, I have swapped out a random bottle of mead or basic tankard for the new sound marker.
