Silent Harvesting - Experience Nothingness

While I love auto-harvest mods, I hate the noise: a random assortment of chatter from every bush in a five mile radius.
So I silenced them. All of them. At least I'm pretty sure I did.
There might still be some left, but their sound isn't labeled as an ingredient, so I'll leave them alone.

I looked into which files relate to the harvesting of the ingredients, and replaced every one I could find with a 10ms silent audio file.

The game crashed if it had no duration, I still have no idea why.
I even included some mod overwrites, because they needed to shut up too.
Specifically Immersive Sound Compendium's Nirnroot sounds and Bow Before The Dead's ingredient sounds.
You don't need either of those mods installed, but they'll be quiet if you do have them hanging around.


This is quick and dirty, and could probably be done better with an xEdit or zEdit patcher, but I'm really not interested in making something fancy, so I brute-forced the issue instead.
For all I know, this may have been done before, but I couldn't find anything with the same scope (I'm aware of one which only silences Nirnroot.)

I included the same silent file used in the archive (itm_ingredient_silence.wav) in case you come across any other sound(s) you want silenced.
Just copy and rename it where appropriate.


Specifically created for use with auto-harvest/auto-loot mods, IE AutoHarvest, Smart Harvest, Jaxonz Smart Looter.
Also useful if you just hate ingredient harvest sounds and don't use any auto-harvest mod.

As far as I understand, this mod will work for both SLE and SSE, I know of no restrictions for audio files between the versions.
