About this mod
This mod tries to expand the barefoot footstep sounds experience in Skyrim by adding sounds to surfaces like carpet, sand and metal, as well as creating barefoot sneaking sounds to all of these. It's a similar mod to what I did for Fallout 4 and uses the same sound resources. Works for both Player and NPC characters.

Thank you for Hot Mods :)
Small update 23.03.2021: removed an ESL flag from the file (again... I messed up something before), to keep it more stable for Skyrim LE. Sorry for inconvenience.

This mod tries to expand the barefoot footstep sounds experience in Skyrim by adding sounds to surfaces like carpet, sand and metal, as well as creating barefoot sneaking sounds to all of these. It's a similar mod to what I did for Fallout 4 and uses the same sound resources. Works for both Player and NPC characters. It was originally made for Skyrim Special Edition, but I was informed that it works without problems for Skyrim as well, so here it is, for users' convenience :)
Barefoot Footstep Extended SE version can be found here.
The footstep sets include:
- stone / rock (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - replaced vanilla barefoot sounds with new ones.
- wood (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - just vanilla barefoot sounds; added sneaking sounds and jump down.
- metal (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - a barefoot sound set for all metal surfaces.
- carpet (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - a barefoot sound set for carpets and rugs.
- sand / mud (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - a barefoot sound set for sand and mud surfaces.
- dirt, grass, gravel, snow, ice, water puddle (walking, sneaking, running, sprinting and jumping down) - just vanilla footsteps (only slightly modified in some cases), but defined here as barefoot for consistency.
No videos for the mod, sorry. If you would like to check how some of these footsteps sound, please visit my mod for Fallout 4: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/45101 There are a few showcases of the new sounds there in the videos tab.
I'm providing this mod as is. No further changes or tweaks are planned.
If anyone wants to take over and make their own version - go ahead, I don't mind.
Requirements:
None.
Installation:
- Manual:
Just download the package and extract the contents to your Skyrim main folder (where the .exe is) and activate the .esp in your mod manager.
- Nexus Mod Manager:
Install the package just like any other mod. Recommended method.
- Other mod managers:
I'm sorry, I never used Vortex or Mod Organizer, so I can't provide any instructions for these programs.
Uninstallation:
- Manual:
Just deactivate the .esp file in your mod manager or delete it in your Data folder + remove a folder called "BarefootFST" from this location: Data/Sound/FX/fst/
- Nexus Mod Manager:
Recommended method, if you installed the files with this program. Just deinstall the mod how you do with other mods, program should do everything for you automatically (by deleteing the .esp and removing all sound files from the Data folder).
- Other mod managers:
If you use them, then you probably know much better than me what to do.
Bugs / Issues:
Sometimes surfaces sound different than they should from the look of them - this might be a problem of wrong material distribution in the game here and there (dirt surface texture triggering stone footsteps etc.). Other than that: I made this mod for SE version, so I really can't tell if you can expect any serious bugs here, but I heard that it works for Oldrim version without problems.
Compatibility:
Unless another mod deals with barefoot footstep records, should be compatible with everything. There are some small exceptions though, please read the Patches section below.
Patches for armor / clothing mods:
In some armor or clothing mods the main part covering the body slot triggers booted footsteps, probably to enhance the effect of wearing a certain type of armor (heavy or light). This however will eliminate the barefoot sounds from my mod (Immersive Armors mod is a good example). If you don't care much for some subtle rustling or clanging that can be heard in heavy armor booted footsteps triggered by such mods, and prefer to hear barefoot sounds instead, you will have to make patches for them. The patching process is very simple, everyone can do that, you just need TES5Edit program: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164 . Instructions on how to do that can be found on my Fallout 4 version of the mod in the images tab: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/45101 . FO4Edit and TES5Edit work the same way, so don't worry that it's for Fallout, you'll get the same results for both games.
