One of the ways Sim Settlements seeks to improve the immersion of your experience in visiting your settlements is by adding sounds to your game.

If you wish to have direct control over what Sim Settlements sounds are playing, these audio options allow you to change the volume level or completely turn off groups of sounds.

There are 6 sound groups you can control and they are "Global" in nature (will impact your sound experience in all your settlements)

How They Work: "Clicking" on one of these audio options will toggle to the next available option or activate/deactivate functionality.
