It seems to not be working correctly, is there a way to manually install the sound files? It's likely one of the mods is overwriting it or something, I've tired swapping load order and all that but it doesn't seem to work so I just need to know the locations to put the files and I can manually do it

I need to test a little more, but aparently it overrides the deaf and hard of hearing trait(that dampens all sound ingame), so it's all muffled, and then suddently a loud crunch

But aside that, a great MOD, variety is gold!

it's simulated arterial blood, personally I like it, it's quite rare to hear it, but if a lot of people point it out to me, yes I would reduce it

the new ones are generally pretty good, but is it too much of an ask to reduce the duration of that specific long blade one that makes it sound like the zombies are pissing on our leg

UPDATE : More Gore !

After a long real-world trampling test, I decided to make the latest sounds more gory (those from the latest update), bloodier for some, more cracking for others, more arterial ^^

Give me your feelings if this is too much.

UPDATE: 15 new sounds is added

Is this compatible with "More Zombie Death Sounds"? That one adds more variety of multiple kill sounds, not just stomps, but I'd love more variation in everything lol

deliciously chunky sounding
Aug 15, 2024 @ 1:24pm 
Shame that these are not affected by Hard of Hearing muffling.
Aug 4, 2024 @ 11:44am 
crunchy!
Jun 16, 2024 @ 11:43am 
needs more crunch bc rn it sounds like you're peeling cabbage
May 1, 2024 @ 4:09pm 
It won't show up in my mod list even after subscribing

that gif is brutal :spiffo:

The vanilla version sounds exaggeratedly loud and crunchy, I think this version sounds really good and realistic, Maybe if you make it sounds a little bit more loud than the impact of the hits it would be kinda of more satisfying to kill them.
Mar 21, 2024 @ 9:29am 
I don't think it sounds more crunchy, but I think it sounds more realistic and better, really good job!
Mar 7, 2024 @ 3:33am 
mmm, just like cabbage
Feb 22, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
So I tested the mode and the sound is perfect, I thought it was too loud, it no longer bothers my ears like with Vanilla! Is it possible to adjust the crackling sound in the audio setting? Finally, it's just an idea so that everyone can turn the sound up or down as they wish. Thank :steamhappy:
Feb 20, 2024 @ 5:05am 
This is rly good, rly feel like this should be vanilla :steamthumbsup:
Feb 16, 2024 @ 7:30am 
hi ! thx for editing you're mod, my ears really love it ! and to answer to youre question : no, the volume is not too loud for me, the volume is perfect and fit with the gameplay

ty , but, the volume is not too loud? too raise? for example, in a vehicle, I saw a video on YouTube and I feel like the volume is a little high when we shoot the zombie with car, I haven't played with this mod yet, but if I find the sound is loud , I will decrease slightly, -10%
Feb 2, 2024 @ 7:42pm 
great work on the mods, they are some of the best sound mods for a game I have found
Jan 3, 2024 @ 12:21pm 
Sounds really good bro
Jan 3, 2024 @ 12:21pm 
YIPPEEEEEEE

the crunch will coming, but I'm sick at the moment, I don't have the head for creation, but it will be reviewed...

thank you for your comments, I take all your advice ;).

Has a bug where it disables most sounds in the game. You dont make sound but the sound of opening a window still works. That sucks. Also this was also a cause of having 2 different zombie killing sounds "More Zombie Death Sounds" :sacrificed::spiffo:
Dec 30, 2023 @ 10:07am 
little more crunch and its literally perfect
Dec 29, 2023 @ 4:50am 
nice and juicy LOL
Dec 25, 2023 @ 8:33pm 
I think the issue these kill replaces have isint the loss of the "crunch" but more that its harder to tell when something is killed. The crunch is feedback for the player. Without it, theres some detriment to gameplay. However, perhaps in a mega hardcore modlist it wouldn't be bad at all!

The mod itself is well done! I just see that people have criticism thats in the right ballpark, but not quite on the money I think. Great work either way. Hope that rambling made any sense.
Dec 24, 2023 @ 8:41pm 
I like how it's nice and juicy, but I don't like how it lost it's crunch.
Dec 24, 2023 @ 8:17am 
Very satisfying sound effect and much better than vanilla. Well done!
Dec 24, 2023 @ 7:26am 
Nah bro it doesnt make the satisfying crunching sound
Dec 24, 2023 @ 6:43am 
Another great mod by a great modder!
Dec 23, 2023 @ 2:10pm 
Nah, vanilla skull crash is too goat
Dec 23, 2023 @ 12:59pm 
this is really cool and all but it's hard too hear when they die

Dec 23, 2023 @ 1:41am 
@B O B c a t yes compatible

Well I tell you, I'm going to review these ons after Christmas, I'm going to add a few broken bones friends, don't worry, you're going to like it!
Dec 23, 2023 @ 1:37am 
Lovely. This one has more variety of sounds than More Zombie Death Sounds

Would they be compatible though? Mod I mentioned above also has lines for "HeadStab" event.
Dec 22, 2023 @ 9:59pm 
bones do not get squishy over time
Dec 22, 2023 @ 10:46am 
honestly i like vanilla more, sounds like your actually breaking bone
Dec 22, 2023 @ 6:42am 
@5zymOn3K Their zombies, they're skulls are squishy, and decomposed.
Dec 22, 2023 @ 1:39am 
Sounds lovely :)
