While this is great for general stuff, it lacks support for the loudest machines, that being the DLC contraptions like Mod Recyclers, Ammo Recyclers, Weapon Recyclers etc. Some of the Contraption stuff is quiet, while others are balls to wall loud AF.
Please, can you update your mod to include these loud ass machines, or help me edit the files manually by telling which sounds are used by the Contraptions DLC? I am using Better Manufacturing and Manufacturing Extended.
Sorry for the VERY late reply lol. I just got around to another playthrough and can confirm that both versions of this file do absolutely nothing to lower the volume of the machines I mentioned. I'll keep this mod for what it does do though. I have made a mod that lowers most of the builders and scrappers. If anyone wants it, please feel free to DM me.
Where is the menu for configuring sounds as shown in the screenshots located? I can't find it either in Fallout 4 Options from the splash window or in-game. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks
This mod only lowers the volume for specific workshop items like turrets, generators, etc. I don't see how that causes CTD,s. It is also likely that anything you built, turrets, etc still have there volume at the lower sound setting. Check it out in FO4Edit or CK.
I backed up an old save an reverted to that(before i installed mod) so my sounds are fine.
This mod IS causing CTD at red rocket for me,and it has been reported by other users,in bugs section. This mod is either directly causing it or is conflicting. I agree that a sound mod in theory shouldnt cause an issue like this but mods are funny sometimes.. to quote another user 'When in 3rd person, running under the Rocket area at the Red Rocket causes my game to CTD... always. i can recreate this bug at will."
"Well.. since i stopped using it... no CTD's at the Red Rocket..EVER!!!"

= THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE EXACT SAME WAY TO ME TOO. PROVEN.
Look the fact is,i went 50-60 hours in a playthrough(30 mods) and had absolutely ZERO crashes.... i install this mod and get a crash within 20 minutes of playtime,at a location where other users have reported crashing with this mod in detail.
Its reproducable for me too,so i will play without it as i intend to build around red rocket and stay for my playthrough. This leads me to listen to other bug reports from other users about other settlement crashes and far harbor.
Seriously....60 hours playthrough...no crashes...20 minutes after installing these 3 esp files...crash. it is not a coincidence.
Yes, I did read the bug reports too. I am sorry this mod is not working for you and some others, but glad to hear you no longer are experiencing CTD's.
Yeah,what can you do. its simply nature of modding. its a great mod,so great infact i would recommend it to others because the crash every so often may be worth it considering it addresses constant loud noises. However for myself,il be based at RR,so i cant .
Just because a mod is at the tail end of causing a CTD (e.g. removing it removes the CTD) doesn't mean it is the direct cause itself. It could be one mod throwing a conflict or numerous, depending on how many are trying to overwrite each other. You have an entire load order of potential conflicts and all this file does is a minor volume tweak via esp... hardly CTD worthy. I threw this in at the end of a 659 active mod load order and it conflicts with literally nothing. Try using Buffout4 and check your crash logs in the community Discord. Also, if you're using the 3xESP version try the all-in-one and just edit the settings in FO4Edit. It could also be a problem adding it in mid-game vs into a fresh playthrough, where it's trying to overwrite values already baked into your save and causing some weird issue... No way to know where to throw blame without checking a crash log.
I am reluctant to do any necro'ing, but I can confirm that it does not cause such issue for me. Those claims do not hold merit without replicable evidence (i.e crashlog). Buffout4 is a good recommendation by PhoenixKnight13. This is my ingame screenshot at Red Rocket
Your crash report is not relevant unless you tested and reported the crash still happening with all other mods other than this one uninstalled. Mod authors can't predict how their mod would work with an infinite amount of variables. You could use xEdit to locate the mod messing with this one. I found an article here that could help locate your conflicting mod.
For general users: I would disregard this crash report. If you do crash though then you probably should report it here and try to find the conflict using xEdit.
Works fine with next-gen update. I like to place the recruitment antennas and defenses on roofs and it was always very annoying loud, but now it so much better. Thank you!

The next generation version can also use it
