📋 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.
