About this mod
Replaces some of the more annoying journal-related sound effects with ones I consider more appropriate, silencing certain notifications altogether. Alternatively, an all-silent version is available.

I don't like being congratulated for playing a game. I know I'm playing a game--just let me pretend I'm not wasting my life. The first thing to really annoy me about The Witcher 3 was the over-the-top shouting sound effects related to starting new quests, advancing current quests, completing/failing quests, leveling up, etc.. Not only are the sounds, in my opinion, obnoxious, but they do not fit the setting. Tribal shouting? Am I still in fantasy-Poland-vania???
Why yes, I do have a stick up my ass. That's why I bring you this mod, which replaces most journal-related sounds, pertaining to quests as well as formulae/diagrams, while muting altogether the "quest updated" sound, which often plays over dialogue and is a bit superfluous on top of the large "QUEST UPDATED" notification taking up a third of my screen.
By request an optional version is also available with all journal-related sounds disabled.

This mod includes the following files:
/content/scripts/game/gui/hud/modules/hudModuleJournalUpdate.ws
/content/scripts/game/components/inventoryComponent.ws
If you use another mod that includes this file, you'll need to merge the changes from this mod yourself, either manually or with a merge tool. I can't vouch for Script Merger, but I imagine it would work fine. However, my changes are simple and it should be easy to manually merge them. Any script merge errors are a problem on your end and are not related to the mod--please don't post about them.
My other mods:
