About this mod Author’s original text
BigRadio
Swap the music on each in-game FM radio station for your own songs.
- One track per station, looping.
- Plays through the radio itself: distance, walls and the radio sound all still apply.
- Stations you leave empty keep their original music.
- F8 reshuffles: every track in your music folder is dealt out to a random station, never the same file twice in one deal.
- Client-side. Only you hear your songs. Nobody else needs the mod; other players hear the original stations.
- No music is included. You bring your own files.
Install
Install Mod Manager, r2modman or Gale. BepInExPack IL2CPP is installed automatically.
Add your music
- Start the game through your mod manager and load into a walk once, then quit. This creates the station list.
- Open your profile folder in the mod manager (r2modman Mod Manager: Settings -> Locations -> Browse profile folder).
- Put your.ogg,.wav or.mp3 files into BepInEx/config/BigRadio.
- Restart the game so the new files appear in the station drop-downs.
- Either press F8 in-game to deal them out at random, or pick a track per station yourself in the mod settings menu.
Each station is listed by its dial position, e.g. Station 1 (bobby)... Station 7 (Bristol). Stations you have not unlocked in-game still play static, mod or not.
Config
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| General.Music Folder | BepInEx/config/BigRadio in your profile | Folder holding your tracks. |
| General.Reload Key | F8 | Reloads the config in-game. F1-F24 or a letter/digit. |
| General.Shuffle On Reload | true | Reload key deals your tracks out to random stations. Turn off to keep a hand-picked list. |
| General.Verbose Logging | false | Logs every radio change. Turn on for bug reports. |
| Stations.Station N (name) | (empty) | Track for that station. Empty = original music. |
Known limits
- Client-side only: other players hear the original stations, even the host's.
- New files added to the folder need a game restart before they show up in the drop-downs. F8 shuffle picks them up either way.
- Avoid apostrophes in file names; they get escaped in the config and the station may not match.
Troubleshooting
Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log in your profile. Healthy lines say "Found 7 radio stations", then "loaded (3:42)" for each mapped track, then "custom track now playing on this radio" once you tune in.
- file not found: check the file name in the config.
- failed to load / could not be decoded: re-export as.ogg (Vorbis) or 16-bit.wav.
- Station silent: that station may be locked in your save, or the radio is out of earshot.
Notes
- Please don't report bugs to House House while using mods. Reproduce without mods first.
- Don't redistribute copyrighted music with this mod or in modpacks.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
