feel more immersive and real.
The goal of the mod is to make the game’s sounds feel like real life!

— Modding changes —
1) If you have Piva’s traffic density mod enabled in lower priority,
then you will get more realistic sound ranges for all AI traffic as a
bonus.
For example, just like in real life, you can still hear the quiet
sound of a vehicle from at least 100 metres away!
This feature is only available for traffic behavior mods to allow for
“separation of concerns” and minimize mod conflicts. It is not
natively
enabled in the Sound Fixes Pack.
If you would like to plugin or include this feature in your own
traffic behavior mod, simply include this line into your
traffic_data.sii file:
@include “traffic_data_update.sui”
Make sure Sound Fixes Pack has higher priority in Mod Manager!
2) Separate SUI file enabled for raindrop config -_ now easier to
change raindrop config without potential conflicts with Sound Fixes
Pack.
