Description
============

The main objective of this mod is to completely mute all sounds that are part of the Skyrim User Interface. It is conveniently designed to mute all sounds of the interface, or you can choose between different parts of the interface to silence.
Why would anyone want to silence the Skyrim User Interface? Will wonder some people. Some will want to do it for the "immersion effect". I personally do this for two reasons. First, over time, some sounds become tiresome and annoying. And secondly, but more importantly for me, as a matter of performance of the game on my computer. My computer is not high end, or latest generation and I do not have a dedicated soundcard. Every time I was browsing the Items menu, I could feel how the cursor did a stop at every item as I passed the mouse over them. Was something almost imperceptible but at the same time it bothered me a lot. It was then that I remembered that in Oblivion I have done the same thing with the user interface, and this time I decided to share it in Nexus.

=============

2- Select the mod in the Installers tab of Wrye Bash, select the sub-package/s you want to install and then install the mod.

Note: Each sub-package name refers to the portion of the interface to be silenced.

====================
Manual Installation
====================

1- Unzip the downloaded file with WinRAR/7-Zip, or with any compressed file manager that you use.
2- Open each numbered folder and copy the folder called Sound inside the Data folder of your game. Normaly in: .../Steam/SteamApps/common/skyrim/Data

==========================
Requests and suggestions.
==========================

I'm open to any kind of suggestions, from "Can you add an option to mute X sound?" to "Hey, what you wrote is not understood, must be written in this way!".

-Regarding other sounds to mute. I personally use other sounds muted. For example, the sound it makes the enchantment Elemental Fury, after a few seconds with the weapon drawn, it started to bother like hell, so I killed it. xD

-Regarding how I write. English is not my native language (I speak Spanish, I'm from Argentina), so if you see that what I have written is wrong or not understood, do not hesitate to correct me.
