📋 About This Mod
A mod to add snoring to NPCs when they're asleep. Most vanilla voice types are covered and each has their own unique snoring sound. The mod is script free and very lightweight and should be compatible with pretty much anything.
The snoring is designed to fire randomly and only when the player is within a certain range so you won't hear it all the time. It will work with mod-added NPCs as long as they use one of the vanilla voice types included in this mod.
Potential Issues:
It's possible that if you wake an NPC mid-snore and they have no dialogue when they're awoken, the snore sound may continue playing, but I would recommend Jayserpa's Sleeping Extended which will prevent this.
There's a very rare vanilla bug with new dialogue not firing after installing a mod. If you don't hear any snoring, just make a save and load it which should fix this if you encounter it.
Questions and Observations:
The lip-sync doesn't quite match - no it doesn't, but it's the best I could do.
The NPCs eyes flicker when they snore - yes they do, again, best I could do. Put it down to them being in REM sleep.
ESL? - yes

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (250k+) shows it's a go-to for immersion fans
- Script-free means no performance hit or script lag
- ESL flagged so it won't eat your mod slots
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers vanilla voice types — custom-voiced followers won't snore
- Last updated in 2022, so might not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches
- No screenshots or videos in the description, so you can't preview the sound
For Skyrim players who want a subtle immersion boost without heavy mods. If you're tired of silent sleeping NPCs, this adds a touch of life. Skip if you want more dramatic audio overhauls or if you use custom-voiced NPCs heavily.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to any load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable — no manual file placement needed.
- Test it by sleeping in an inn or near a guard; you should hear snoring from nearby NPCs.
