📋 About This Mod
A mod to add stomach rumbles to NPCs at certain times of day. Most vanilla voice types are covered with a variety of sounds depending on their gender and voice type. The mod is script free and very lightweight and should be compatible with pretty much anything.
The rumbling 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.
A light rumble is triggered between 11:30am and 12:30pm and another, slightly heavier one between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. As the rumbles are meant to indicate the NPC is hungry, the rumbles won't trigger inside inns as NPCs often eat in inns.
There's a rare vanilla bug with new dialogue not firing after installing a mod. If you don't hear any rumbles, just make a save and load it which should fix this if you encounter it. If you're not sure if it's working, try turning subtitles on.
The rumbles are fairly quiet with a delay in how often they repeat. They're meant to be fairly infrequent and not happening all the time.
Most non-unique, vanilla voice types are included. The mod is flagged as ESL so it won't take up a slot in your load order. There are no scripts so it's safe to install mid-game and probably safe to uninstall mid-game.
This works well with my Snores of Skyrim mod.
