I have no idea why I did this, I just… did. I was so preoccupied with whether or not I could that I didn’t stop to think if I should. My PC even bluescreened early on in the process, as if the Gods themselves were telling me “NO!”
But did I let that stop me? Hell no!
FartOut 4 – Total Voice Replacement Mod (VERSION 2)
oh god why
PREFACE
The other night I was messing around with some audio stuff, made a quick sound replacement to go along with that mod that turns Mini Nukes into babies, and then I had this crazy, stupid, horrible, damnable idea: What if I could replace the main character’s voice with farts?
At the time, it kinda made sense – Bethesda didn’t give us alternate dialogue for 1 INT characters, so I figured it’d be funny if I replaced everything (s)he said with ass trumpets! As I extracted the voice files, I realized it was going to take a long, LONG time to replace them all, so I wrote up a batch file to automate the process while I took a shit. After about 2 hours of work (I’m a slow coder) it was ready, and I figured since I was already anxious to see the fruits of my labor that I’d test it on an NPC follower I had easy access to: Curie!
After giggling like a fucking moron at how my companion’s once luscious French accent was now nothing but farts, I was struck with inspiration. I tweaked the script a bit, and after another hour or so of work (again, slow coder) it was able to sort through every actor’s voice files and replace them with farts (or, y’know, whatever else I wanted to replace them with).
Over 100,000 lines of dialogue, carefully written over the course of several years by numerous Bethesda staff as a labor of love to bring us the biggest, most epic Fallout experience yet, recorded over several years by numerous talented young voice actors and actresses… reduced to nothing but juvenile noises.
VERSION 2: There were a LOT of people who were dissatisfied with the first version because it didn’t have enough variety (some called me autistic, some called me juvenile, others wanted to block me so they never see my uploads again). I have taken their words to heart, and added more than 3,000% more farts in Version 2. I hope those folks who weren’t satisfied with the initial release come back and see how much this mod has grown in the past 36 hours.
WHAT IT DOES (in case you didn’t read the preface)
It replaces all the voiced lines in the games with farts. The subtitles and lipsyncing is still intact, but everything else is just endless farting.
INSTRUCTIONS (How you can ruin your entire Fallout 4 experience in just 4 easy steps!)
1. Enable modding in your FO4 installation if you haven’t already (and if you haven’t, what the hell are you even doing here looking at mods?)
2. Download whichever version of the mod you want to your hard drive (or solid state drive, if you’re a rich guy who can afford expensive crap like that)
3. Extract the “Sounds” folder to your Fallout 4/Data directory.
4. Launch the game (If it seems to freeze… I have no idea what the shit it’s doing but it should work if you give it a minute or two – the freezing should only happen the first time you run the game after installing this mod)
That’s it, it’s THAT easy!
