Valheim - Silence Tame Wolf Cub Howls Mod

Works with Mistlands Update!

This is inspired by Keezys_Better_Wolves mod, and tweaks the approach to allow hunting with tamed wolves without the loss of enemy wolf howls.

Problem

  • Both adult and young enemy wolves will howl constantly whenever they're in earshot.
  • Adult tame wolves will not howl, but their young offspring will.
  • Breeding tame wolves shouldn't come at the cost of peace and quiet.

Solution

  • This mod will only silence howls if there are young tame wolves within 30 meters.
  • This allows exploring/hunting beyond the homestead without changing enemy wolf behavior.

While tame wolves won't attack one of their own, they're handy companions in most exploring/hunting situations. So having them present shouldn't also silence enemy wolves.

Config

Configuration now allows:

  • EnableToggleFlag, default: true
  • SilenceAdultsFlag, default: false
  • SilenceRangeValue, default: 30f

Built with BepInEx
