📋 About This Mod
This mod lowers to volume of Riekling idle breathing to almost inaudible levels. There is still technically some breathing sound but it's super hard to hear.
No plugin, install/uninstall whenever.
There is a video in the Videos tab that showcases the (lack of) breathing sounds. And also my poor brand new Dunmer losing a 1v1 vs a Riekling. RIP.

⚠️ Cons

- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions.
- Niche fix—if Riekling breathing doesn't bother you, this mod is pointless.
