Missing footstep sounds for werewolves

[snowmanjj]

As the title implies, I have missing footstep sounds for my player character when they transform into a werewolf. Sprint audio sounds fine.

Just need a place to start because idk where to look on SSEEdit or the CK.

Footstep sounds are a property of the ArmorAddon of the Armor that is worn on feet. (Bare feet are also 'Armor')

 

Now I dunno if you have a any werewolf-altering mods installed, but will start from the top. Look for anything being overloaded by any mods. If at any point, the property I a mention is overloaded by something else, that is likely the culprit.

Load up SSEEdit, expand Skyrim.esm, Race, find 000CDD84 - WerewolfBeastRace. You are looking for WNAM - Skin. it should be SkinNakedWerewolfBeast - 000CDD86

 

Next, look in Armor section and locate 000CDD86 - SkinNakedWerewolfBeast. In its Armature section, it has only one Model entry: NakedTorsoWerewolfBeast (000CDD87), Ok, so Werewolves don't have separate hands/feet , just body.

 

Proceed to Armor Addon section, locate 000CDD87 - NakedTorsoWerewolfBeast. Look for entry SNDD - Footstep Sound. Should be NPCWerewolfFootstepSet (000F23E6)

 

Now, in Footstep Set section, find 000F23E6 - NPCWerewolfFootstepSet. Specifically looking at the Walk (#10 and #11) NPCWerewolfFootWalkRFootstep (000F23E5) and NPCWerewolfFootWalkLFootstep (000F23E4)

 

In Footstep section, locate the entries from above. (000F23E4 and 000F23E5) Both should point at the same 'DATA - Impact Data Set' NPCWerewolfFootWalkImpactSet (000F23E3)

 

Looking at the above (000F23E3) in Impact Data Set category reveals that it has the same Impact: NPCWerewolfFootWalkImpact - 000F23E2 for all sirfaces (only exception being walking on water)

 

In Impact section, 000F23E2 tells us its SNAM - Sound 1 - is NPCWerewolfFootWalk - 000F23E1

 

And finally, in the Sound Descriptor section, formID 000 F23E1 points us to the actual sounds. Data\Sound\FX\NPC\Werewolf\Foot\NPC_Werewolf_Foot_Walk_01..04.wav

 

If nothing in SSEEdit has been overloaded and pointing at something else, then problem has to be with these files somehow. The vanilla files are in one of Skyrim's .bsas, so if you actually have those files in your game directories, they could be corrupt, try deleting them.
