Description

This simple mod replaces the three WAV files associated with the exaggerated swallow noise players make when they eat or drink. They will be completely silent now. These three WAV files are packed in the BSA, so they will not overwrite your vanilla swallow sound effects when you place them in your sound folder. No need to back up any files. I am not sure but I believe you will have to run archive invalidation after installing the WAV files. I provided instructions to do so through Oblivion Mod Manager within its respective readme file.


Silent Swallow Manual Install/Uninstall

Install
============
1. Copy the sound folder to your data directory.
2. Confirm the three WAV files are now in the data\sound\fx\npc\human\swallow folder.
4. Run archive invalidation under utilities in Oblivion Mod Manager or your preferred method. (If using OBMM in the Archive Invalidation Window the only button that should be ticked is the BSA redirection field then press the update now button)

Uninstall
=========
1. Remove npc_human_swallow_01.wav, npc_human_swallow_02.wav, and npc_human_swallow_03.wav from the data\sound\fx\npc\human\swallow folder.


Silent Swallow OMOD Install/Uninstall

4. Run archive invalidation under utilities in Oblivion Mod Manager. (In the Archive Invalidation Window the only button that should be ticked is the BSA redirection field then press the update now button)

OBMM Uninstall

Incompatibility

Any mod that alters npc_human_swallow_01.wav, npc_human_swallow_02.wav, or npc_human_swallow_03.wav.

Known Issues

Because the swallow WAV files are also used for the noise in menu when you consume a potion/beverage this will be silent.
This same WAV is also used in mods like Basic Primary Needs as the audio confirmation of filling a canteen, drinking from one, or activating a water source. These mods are compatible but you will lose that sound.
