📋 About This Mod
Witcher 3 is a great game with a beautiful soundtrack. However, such a vast and open environment is sadly not supported by an equivalently expansive score. After only a few hours of gameplay the repetition of the music starts to jade the experience somewhat.
This mod aims to rectify this problem by introducing periods of silence into the background exploration music while preserving the dialog/cutscene music.
This mod works great with music replacement mods to freshen up the game for a second playthrough - so give it a try.
Less Is More (Next-Gen Compatible) is a small audio mod for Skyrim that inserts periods of immersive silence into the background music while exploring. With 694 endorsements and 13,602 downloads, it's a community-approved tweak for players who want quieter exploration without removing music entirely.
