About this mod

A softer, quieter and less frequent sound for the Nirnroot.

This is a completely new sound - not just an edit of the original.
But it does stay true to it's roots, so to speak.

 • WHAT IS THIS MOD?:

I'm intrigued by Nirnroots as much as the next Dragonborn, but after a while, that shrill and loud sound can get a bit annoying, 
especially if you're fond of Alchemy or Horticulture (Gardening) and have them growing in your abode(s).

So, staying true to the original, I engineered a completely new sound for Nirnroots with FL Studio's: Harmless.

BONUS:

Aside from it sounding different, it's also a little quieter, and plays half as often (due to the loop being twice the length).
And I tried to match it's 'key' to the one used on a majority of Vanilla Skyrim's soundtracks, so that it would not be as disharmonious.



 • SAMPLES:

Regular - https://soundcloud.com/talwick/nirnroot/s-37GFy
Deep - https://soundcloud.com/talwick/nirnroot-deep/s-rxaZx - this is not just an edit of the above, this is a new sound altogether

Bear in mind that these sample are at full volume (which you would only hear if your character's head was right next to the plant),
and without any of the in-game reverberations (echos), which are most noticeable in buildings, caves and dungeons.
These reverberations will make my mod sound nicer (IMO), and you can use mods like Icebreaker's to make them louder & longer.



 • INSTALLATION:

Just manually place the wav file from either Main File here: "\Data\Sound\Fx\itm\ingredient" (create the folders if they don't yet exist)
or install either of the Main Files with NexusModManager or another Mod Organiser for Skyrim.

There are very few mods that replace the Nirnroot sound, so you shouldn't need to replace any files.



 • COMPATABILITY:

This mod should be compatible with everything - I will be VERY surprised if it is not.



 • CHANGELOG:

1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Added a new 'deep' sound - this is not just an edit of the original, this is a new sound altogether

 • FUTURE PLANS:

+ Creating a 'tone-less' sound that will not conflict with any music - perhaps some sort of synthetic breathing sound

Let me know if you want any variants of my mod, as I can change the volume, the pitch and also make the time between 'chimes' longer if you wish.
Or I can even use another sound entirely. If you'd rather your Nirnroots to be yelling obscenities - it is entirely possible XD
