📋 About This Mod
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.
Skullbreaker is a complete overhaul of the swing and impact sounds for maces, warhammers and fists. Expect gorey squelches, metallic thunks and bassy impacts on all relevant materials. Each sound has been hand-tuned to feel the most satisfying when you're smashing bandit skulls and breaking through barricades.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Dynamic Impacts by Goshbrindal pairs PERFECTLY with my sound effects. Make sure to use the AOS-ISC version for my recommended setup.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (1.4M) shows it's a go-to for audio overhauls
- Endorsement ratio suggests players actually like what they hear
- Focuses on blunt weapons, giving a niche but satisfying upgrade
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — might not be tuned for the latest game patches
- Only covers blunt weapons — if you use swords or axes, this mod won't help

- If you use other audio mods, load Skullbreaker last to ensure its sounds take priority.
- Test with a few swings in a low-stakes area to see if the new sounds fit your taste.
