Can't find which mod is causing this sound "problem"

[TWrekt]

This is kind of a last resort, I started installing mods the other day from the mod list on The Frontier's page in preparation for when it released. I just got the opportunity to play today, and once I got everything ready and working I launched the game. Apparently I have installed a mod that plays a sound whenever quest objectives are added or updated, and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out which mod it is. So I was wondering if anybody had experienced this before with one of these mods, or if anybody could help me figure it out.

My Load Order looks like this right now:

FalloutNV.esm
DeadMoney.esm
HonestHearts.esm
OldWorldBlues.esm
LonesomeRoad.esm
GunRunnersArsenal.esm
ClassicPack.esm
MercenaryPack.esm
TribalPack.esm
CaravanPack.esm

hz_Automatic Weapons Fix.esp
B42 RWMS.esp
The Weapon Mod Menu.esp
Better Pickup Prompt.esp
Enhanced Item Info.esp

Any help would be appreciated, and I completely understand this problem is entirely self-inflicted by not testing mods as I was installing them.

Do you have any NVSE mods installed?
(They won't show in the load order because they're DLLs, and would be in the Data\nvse\Plugins folder

[TWrekt]

I have NVAC, NVTF, The Frontier, Mod Limit Fix, MCM, Johnny Guitar, JIP NVSE, and Frontier Tweaks are all .dll files in my NVSE plugins folder.

IIRC, a lot of those have INI files where you can turn on/off features

 

I would check the Description page for each of those, and see what setting (If any) the Description page has listed for what you can toggle in the INI file.

 

I'm thinking it could be Frontier, because i t's the newest mod, and I've used a lot of those other mods, and don't remember some annoying sound

I've searched through all the INI files and unfortunately haven't found any options that sound like it, so that's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. It must be a feature or something added by The Frontier, because it doesn't seem likely that any of my other mods would be causing it. I guess my next course of action is going to be disabling mods one by one until I find which one removes it, hopefully that works. If not, or if it turns out to be added by The Frontier, I'll just have to go ask about it on the comments of the mod page.

Thanks for the help anyways, even if it didn't turn out to be the solution.

Try loading up the Frontier INI files in a text editor and searching for something like SOUND or NOTIFICATION or QUEST etc..

I searched through all the INI files added by The Frontier, oddly enough it doesn't add any into the NVSE plugins folder despite having a .dll, but I checked the ones elsewhere. Not options for it in any of them, but when I did try disabling mods to see if that would help me find the mod causing it, I tried The Frontier first and it went back to the vanilla sound. So it is added by The Frontier, I just can't find an option to turn it off. So I went ahead and posted on their comments about it, so I guess I'll just wait and see if they have a way to turn it off or if I'll just have to deal with it if I want to play the mod.

Well, at least you found it.

But things that change stuff like that, really should be OPTIONAL or have an On/Off toggle.

 

It's possible that it IS in the INI file, with a super weird name.

Well, when you get an answer be sure to post it here, because if I ever download it, that's one thing that will probably annoy me too.

I ended up just extracting the vanilla sound from the Sound.bsa file and putting it in the right directory, and it actually worked. So that's probably the best course of action if you decide to install The Frontier and find the same complaints I had with the new sound.

Ha! I was just coming back here to tell you which specific file it was, because someone had the same complaint and fixed it the way you did, by extracting the sound file and overwriting it
