Ever been tired of the boring and eventually annoying chime of nearby nirnroots? Always felt like ripping them out of the place because of that? Then this one is for you. Now Nirnroots hum a lovely song for you to enjoy!

Ever been tired of the boring and eventually annoying chime of nearby nirnroots? Always felt like ripping them out of the place because of that? Then this one is for you. Now Nirnroots hum a lovely song for you to enjoy!
This mod makes crimson and green Nirnroots sing different songs. There are 8 files for you to pick from, to adjust what each species is singing.
As a bonus, Nirnroots now laugh (or scream) in different pitches if you pick them, depending on your choice, as well as if you drop them to the ground from your inventory and pick them up again. I also adjusted some of the files' volume. (Note that the sound is louder in 1st person mode)
The default songs used in the mainfile are:
Version 1 for green, and the Halo choir for crimson Nirnroots. I just felt the latter did fit in Blackreach perfectly.
There are ESP files for the English version of the game as well as for the German one.

For English players:
Let me know if I forgot to translate anything or made a mistake. :)
For Anyone: If you like to add a video on the laughing and stuff, I'd appreciate it greatly!
My recording software doesn't work with Skyrim, SKSE and ENBs. :(





Other samples can be heard here:

Song of Prayer (FFX) for Nirnroots

Xmas Special: Rooty the crimson Nirnroot

Xmas Special Songtext:
Spoiler:  
Show
Rooty the crimson Nirnroot had a very shiny leaf,
until you ever saw it, I'd be hard to believe.
And all the other Nirnroots used to laugh and call it names,
they never let poor Rooty joining any Nirnroot games.

Then one foggy Winter's eve, Mara came to say:
Rooty with your leaves so bright,
You'd fit in Blackreach just so right.

Then how the Nirnroots loved it, as they shouted out with glee:
Rooty the red-leaved Nirnroot, you'll go down in history!

Rooty the crimson Nirnroot spread in Blackreach everywhere,
but as it never left it, crimson roots are very rare.
So Dovahkiin be careful, listen and just trust your ears,
or you will never find it, and end up in bitter tears.


Installation:
Use the modmanager of your choice or simply put the folder contained in the rar file into your skyrim directory.
Overwrite, if you already use a Nirnroot sound replacer.

Uninstallation:
Go to your Skyrim data directory and delete the following files:
Full installation: sound/fx/itm/ingredients/itm_nirnroot_lp.wav, sound/fx/itm/ingredients/itm_nirnroot__red_lp.wav, sound/fx/itm/ingredients/pickup_nirnroot.wav and Singing Nirnroots.esp
Sound replacer only: sound/fx/itm/ingredients/itm_nirnroot_lp.wav


Note:
If you only want a simple sound replacement for all your Nirnroots and don't want them laughing, simply use the files labeled for green Nirnroots and skip the main file!

Can you add...?
Well, actually, yes. But it's not hard to do yourself either, if you know how to use Audacity or any other voice recorder and filters to make it sound different and all that stuff. Just note that the file must be in wav format, and must be under 16MB in size, otherwise you'll likely CTD.

Can I use this for my mod?
Yup, feel free to do so. Just be that kind and leave a link to your mod, as I'm deadly curious. ;)

Changelog:
v1.0a
- Added the Halo choir as an option for the Nirnroots to sing as requested by SaiyanHeretic. It was pitched up 15 semitones while keeping the slow tempo. The light chiming wasn't on purpose, it's just due to the pretty high pitch compared to the original file, but I think it is quite fitting for a little Nirnroot. :D
v1.0b
- Added the Song of Prayer from Final Fantasy X to be sung by Nirnroots.
v1.0c
- Added a little song thanks to sleepytigereyes. Check it out, it's hilarious!
v1.1
- Corrected the file's path on the Halo version
- Added Misty Mountains, a flute tune to be played by your Nirnroots.
v1.1a
- Added a Christmas special edition: Rooty the crimson Nirnroot. Add some holiday spirit to your game as the days are getting longer, hehe.
v2.0
- Added an ESP file to let each species sing another song.
- Added a laugh on picking, dropping Nirnroots on the floor and picking them up again.
- Added files for the crimson Nirnroots to chose from
- Adjusted the volume of several sound files. Let me know if some of them are still too quiet.
v2.0a
- Added optional scream on picking, dropping and picking up poor Nirnroots.
- Changed wrong translation "Take" to "Harvest" for the ENGLISH version.
