Are mod requests allowed here?

[Mystoc]

I was able to set up city mod installer successfully but could not find a mod that matched what I was looking for.

 

if so, I'm looking for a mod that disables all sound expect the Gowie sound, I play with no volume and 95% of the time it works perfectly for me that way. its only when there's a glowie I can't find I feel forced to turn sound back on in the options.

 

I am not hard of hearing I just like playing with sound off and there is no way in the game to turn off all sounds expect glowie sounds hence the request. I'm not sure if this fits help & support but if it doesn't, please move it to a better spot.

This is theoretically possible, as far as I know, but it would be a rather tedious undertaking. One would have to document the name and location for every sound in the game (although most of that work has been done, see the Rosetta Stone in the link below), and then create a mod that replaces them all (aside from the glowie sound) with silence. Some of that work could probably be automated with a script, but it would still be a significant undertaking. And likely something that perhaps only a handful of folks would ever want to use.

 

Sound modding itself is not terribly hard, though, especially replacing sounds with silence. I recommend this thread for some specifics on that:

Don't be afraid to read up and try and tackle it yourself, because you might be the only person around with the motivation to do so.

I actually play without sound a lot. My workaround is to plug in headphones and then set them off the side of my desk, only putting them on when I need to find a glowie or want to hear something. Makes it easier for me to keep track of the Boss ( our dog Sheila ) and make sure her needs are being met ( and that she is not in the trash or running through the house with underwear in her mouth, not kidding ).

Well, there is a mod for 'double loud glowie' that I love. I have my sound turned down very low, but am still able to hear them very well.
