📋 About This Mod
Sounds of Skyrim Complete SE
What is Sounds of Skyrim?
Sounds of Skyrim is an audio project that
adds around 460+ sound effects to the game world. It affects almost
every cell and region in the game. The main goal is to not have one
environment that is soundless to enhance immersion. The sounds are
affected by the time of day, weather and location. So when walking in
the city streets during the day, you'll hear the echo of doors opening
and closing, children playing and workers sawing things. While at night,
cats fight for territory and dogs bark.
Merged Sounds of Skyrim modules
The Wilds
focuses on adding sound effects in Skyrim's wilderness. With the
115 new sound effects, the purpose of The Wilds is to audibly enlarge
Skyrim's fauna with the addition of various animals, birds and insects
that play according to weather, time of day and region. In the forests,
for example, you'll hear the sounds of foxes, deer and ravens. At
night, you'll hear wolves howling from far away or common loons calling
others. In The Reach, you might hear the occasional mountain goat or
In addition to animals, The Wilds also adds rain-impact sounds on tents and wooden structures, sounds of rustling bushes to
simulate the movements of small mammals that scatter away as you
approach and sounds of calm water waves hitting wood on tree logs or
structures that are partially submerged in water.
The Dungeons
The Dungeons i
enemy type that inhabits a dungeon will make itself heard. At dungeons’
entrances, you also hear the exterior weather. If there’s a thunderstorm
raging outside, you’ll hear the thunder rumbling in the fort or cave
There's a standard sound set for each type of dungeon: Cave, Dwemer Ruins,
Forts and Sewers. These sounds play in these dungeons regardless of who
or what lives in it. To spice it up, dungeons inhabited by Falmer or the
Undead have their own sound sets in addition to the standard ones.

⚠️ Cons
