Not really a fan of either of them, although the loot sound is far more annoying. Looking in this thread ((
https://steamcommunity.com/app/6980/discussions/0/598198356178891831/)) someone mentioned Sneaky Upgrade Fat Edition which apparently does something to the sound? Anyone know?
Is there a way to edit the sounds?

The Sneaky Upgrade fat edition includes the Minimalist Project, a mod which aims to bring Deadly Shadows as close to the first two games as possible. Nearly all options are configurable, one being "Classic Sounds" which replaces the default loot sound with that of Thief and Thief 2. It does not allow you to edit the sounds directly, however. It is a good solution if you liked the original loot sound.

There's no way to edit the sounds using an editor or something?

You can access the game's resources in the content subdirectory. There may be an editor that would function in this situation, as some resources are formats unique to the modified Unreal Engine that powers Deadly Shadows, though I am not aware of nor have I used one.
If you want an easy solution, I would recommend using Sneaky Upgrade's included mods. If you are so inclined, you can edit the Minimalist Project's loot sound to be whatever you like.

Are you aware of any reliable method to do so? snobel, in another thread, listed some editor (forgot the name) to edit prices of items in game... could that be used to edit the sounds from the Minimalist Project?

Yes, that is T3Ed. It does allow editing missions, scripts, textures, et cetera. It is possible that it would also allow editing sounds as well, though I have never used that function if it does exist.
I was referring to simply replacing the WAV file in the Minimalist Project, as it already has everything set up, including the schema. If you are unsatisfied with the classic loot sound, replacing it with your desired sound should provide results and requires no editor.

Brilliant idea, actually. Do you know if I can take any sound, convert it to a .wav file, and plop it in there and it'll be ok?
snobel on 15/2/2019 at 16:21
Just keep the filename. If the MP file is in .ogg (vorbis) format you may have to convert to that, although I think that .ogg and .wav are interchangeable as long as the filename is the same.

Awesome, thanks. How do you guys know all this stuff, it's so impressive.

So I have the Sneaky Upgrade installed, but where are the sound files I can replace?
