Note on Compatibility:
Mods that utilize Sound Record Distributor have no direct conflicts.
Some weather mods add their own wind sounds or leave the vanilla wind sounds, but these are attached to specific weather records. These are not affected by this mod. Nordic Winds replaces only the regional wind loops attached to specific exterior regions.

⚠️ Cons
