[@dwood268]

I remember installing Sounds of Skyrim for the first time. I was in a Embershard Mine and thought I could hear distant thunder or rainfall, but I thought "There's no way it's raining outside". Sure enough I stepped outside and it was a rainstorm. I have never felt so immersed in Skyrim as that little detail.

[@om4rit0]

Who is gonna tell him AOS2 does that, not SOS ?

[@GRACIEKENNEDYyt]

@@om4rit0 SOS actually does do this. I’m not sure if older versions of it do, but SOS Complete v2.0 does. It’s a staple in my load order and it definitely has thunder you can hear indoors when a storm is raging, whether you’re in a cave or dungeon.

[@om4rit0]

@@GRACIEKENNEDYyt i was not aware to the feature of hearing outdoor effects while indoor being added to SOS but i can confirm it’s a pillar in AOS2. Thanks

Heavy, listen, I'm not sure how you feel about your progress as a content creator, but please know your work is absolutely insane. You're undervalued in views, so please never get discouraged. You're putting out masterpieces.

[@HeavyBurns]

Thanks! Generally i feel pretty good about it when i finish bigger videos like the Witcher one, for thse shorter stuff they often have to be sacrificed a little in quality to be able to get more videos out. But i appreciate the kind words :) trying to get one bigger video out a month so the next one coming is the special one ;)

[@naji_aka_Tracey]

Sounds, along with music, are just as important as visuals. I wish there were more options for those who want a player voice for Xbox. Great video, as always.

[@90snetworkproductions79]

Eh, wouldn’t be my preferred style of play, silent protagonist is always better because you read the dialogue in your voice, not someone else’s. That’s why Fallout 4 felt different to lots of Fallout NV and Skyrim players. But hey, it’s your Skyrim, you do you 👍🏾

[@naji_aka_Tracey]

@@90snetworkproductions79 hence the "for those who" part of the comment. I don't always play a female character, so I'd like to hear my guy say something when going into battle, coming home, being cold etc I was thinking more of something more along the lines of the Ciri player voice mod, not all the dialogue, that would be annoying 😝

[@highland2246]

There is a voice mod. It’s called “Main Questline Voiced” it has both male and, recently added, female.

[@DragonSlayerCommentariesHQ]

I am so glad someone else found the Phoenix compendium man. I use everything in that mod for my sounds. Though i might not install the music audio part, but everything else is amazing. It has a voice rework of many characters. My brain almost melted when I heard the Alduin sample. Also, the author of Phoenix compendium actually released three separate mods that aren't included in the compendium. They're the weapon sounds, horse step sounds, and a redone sound effect of a detection shout. Every other sound mod is included in the compendium. I may try combining Phoenix compendium and just adding the Ygdrassil music only with it. Edit: I actually was able to get Phoenix compendium and Yggdrassil music and sound fx to work. You select every sound and voice pack in Phoenix compendium except the Phoenix legacy music and menu UI sound fx. Then, install Yggdrassil and use their music and sound fx for menu UI. It was a match made in heaven I tell you. Never have I felt trekking through Skyrim at night be so intense until now. Also, Cathedral weathers really makes night dark AF to the point where I had to install a very immersive and convenieny mod called quick light to see at night. Edit 7/7/22: I have to say that I found a Skyrim SE music mod called Symphonic Soundtrack. My giving this summary doesn't give the mod justice, but it basically adds 6 hours at least of what I can only describe as Vanilla+ music all composed by the mod author. The entire mod music Playlist is on KZbin on his channel called Thomas Lack. It's some of the best music I've ever heard for this game and really brings a Vanilla+ soundtrack experience. Mix it with Phoenix compendium and you're set. Just make sure to add the ui sound effects for the Phoenix Compendium. I like it more than Yggdrasil now.

[@weavelcow9596]

I was scrolling through nexus mods and I found this mod, I didn't think much of it because I already had an audio overhaul. But there were two videos going through the mod, first one was a person talking over the mod explaining what he likes about it, that's fine, but for an audio mod showcase I was hoping to listen to the audio to determine myself if I would like it. I go onto this video and not only does it start with exactly what I want, this video makes a point about how important audio is to the experience, and gives their recommendation to this mod. Safe to say, because of this video, I think it's time to try out the mod. Good stuff, it's not everyday you come across a well made video by someone you've never heard of before.

[@brodietakeda7851]

Hey! Im new to the channel and just got back into modded Skyrim after quite a while, Ive been watching many videos on which mods to get and have found that a lot of creators don't really do a job of selling the mods themselves or providing reasons why the mods are worth downloading and integrating into the game. But you have done an amazing job, not only explaining the mods, but showcasing their effects on the world and how it feels to use them. I dont typically get to excited about things like this, but after your "Ultra Next Gen game" and your lore video im just waiting to go home and download these to try out. Im going to be checking out all your other videos on Skyrim mods, and you've gained another subscriber, well done, this is really good work. Feels more like a documentary cinematic than a video on mods for an 11 year old game.

[@ragnarmikk7771]

I already had a lot of Satafinix's pretty awesome sound mods individually but had somehow missed that they made a compendium of them. Cool beans.

I wanted to say you have some of the best mod overview videos on KZbin. I love the commentary, thorough explanations, and how you compare the different mods / show the side-by-side effects of the mod as you implement them. I would love if you could make a video showing your “go-to” default Skyrim mod list, from combat to environments to monsters and animations.

Great video!, Also guys another sound related mod that is under the radar right now is Dragonborn Shouts Re-voiced by iTsYaboyBrandyBoy. Unfortunately it's only for males, but if your playing a male character it's great. Also what combos well with that mod is Dragonborn shouts animated which gives custom animations for different shouts. It make shouting feel like a real power play.

[@egormavrin9101]

The only challenge is getting it to work with PC head tracking and voice type if you're using a custom voice pack or the BYO feature. It's possible, I got them to play together nicely, though it requires the use of fuz renamer.

[@thestutteringspartan5155]

Just want you to know that thanks to your videos, my Skyrim is an entirely new game. It feels like I’ve just started playing for the very first time, and I can very rarely say that about any video game, so I must thank you sincerely.

[@richarddomzalski4232]

Damn another high quality video. Thanks for doing a video on audio this time. That is one of the most under appreciated aspects of a game in my opinion. Will definitely check these mods out. And yet again thanks for your hard work. It is appreciated.

[@seanerzat]

I just love your edits. Of course the video about replacing the sound in the game would have outstanding sound design. But your videos always have outstanding sound design. Also great mods, just too obsessed with your editing style loool

[@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242]

So, a few things: That intro was INNNNCREDIBLE! Production values felt higher than Marvel. I'm shocked no mention of horse overhaul sounds from this new mod from Satafinix. I'm surprised not to see Immersive Sound Compendium. Especially because my understanding is that Audio Overhaul for Skyrim is incompatible with most weather mods unless you do manual edits for the cell records. Is this not true? What about Sounds of Skyrim - it adds so many ambient and landscape sounds in that aren't covered in any of these other mods to my knowledge. Great video overall!!! Can't wait for your next one! (sorry for not having links to the mods I'm talking about, my comment kept getting deleted every time I tried to include them.

[@Gorge-890]

U forgot 64 bit voices. It upscale voices from 32bit to 64 so they sound much more clear without the bad echo and faint static.

Thanks a ton bud, "S.K.Y.R.I.M. : Shadow of Morthal" wouldn't be a thing without ya, and I get reminded every-time i boot up that one play-though from October to friggin' January (no seriously, there's THAT much content and immersion now).

Any advice on what else I should add?

[@SoftExo]

Most of these just sound like deepening and hard clipping, it actually makes it worse than vanilla, i.e. skeleton sound deepened doesn't really enhance anything, and then their walk is so loud that it makes sure immersion is shattered. On animals, mammoths get so deepened that theyre no longer capable of high pitched noises, elephants/mammoths do not sound like demons. Really gotta tiptoe around these mods.

It is the year 2022, over ten years after Skyrim's release. It's still being modded, and it still has content being produced. ...At this rate, when ES6 is released in 2042, Skyrim will still somehow outlive it.
