Stick Step Sounds is a Vintage Story mod by Vari_Ares and SaltyWater. Stick Step Sounds adds a sharp cracking sound when your character walks over loose sticks, making forest travel more immersive and easier to notice.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose it if you want forest movement to feel more grounded and want an extra audio cue while exploring. It currently reacts only to the player, not animals or other creatures.
What Stick Step Sounds adds
When the player steps on loose sticks, the mod plays a distinct cracking effect. This small detail gives forest paths a clearer sense of material and movement without changing survival mechanics.
The feature is focused on atmosphere and awareness: a nearby step through scattered branches is no longer completely silent. Animal-triggered sounds are not included, so it cannot yet warn you about creatures moving through the undergrowth.
