📋 About This Mod
Requires Music Type Distributor
For me, ambience is everything. There are certain times throughout a playthrough where I feel the game is better suited without music playing. Maybe you want to silence the music when walking the coast so you can listen to the waves crashing, maybe you want to explore quieter caves, or maybe you want to listen to some new sounds at The Standing Stones without music getting in the way.
The choices are yours and plentiful!
