Senior Heroine (Japanese)

High female protagonist voice (Japaneseized)

NOTE: The Automatron patch is now available. Please read the special installation instructions below.

NOTE: The Far Harbor patch is now available. Please read the special installation instructions below.

This is the Japanese version of the high-level female protagonist voice mode. As I expected, the default Japanese voices are much better than the English voices, so this mod is not meant for corrective purposes but to provide variety.

Note: The Japanese version of the mod has different naming conventions and tweak types than those used in previous versions. Most sound types including auditory distortion are not provided as I feel they are not necessary in this case.

Voice type:

NOTE: Overall, there is not much change in speech pitch for either speech type, but there is significant age change in speech. Each step higher mainly means a younger-sounding voice.

Voice type A1: 3% higher.

Voice Type A2: 6% higher.

Voice Type A3: 9% higher.

Voice type A4: 12.2% higher.

Voice type A5: 15.6% higher. It stops sounding quite natural.

Timbre type U2: 50% increase in pitch, 9% resonance pitch, high distortion. I have no plans to include any traditional voice types with built-in distortion, but I've seen many requests. Please use at your own discretion!

Timbre type U3: pitch 73%, resonance pitch 12.2%, high distortion. This is a special treat for anyone who can tolerate a twist, and will be closer to the typical sound of modern anime. Please use at your own discretion!

Installation (as of 2016-3-21):

• Follow the Fallout 4 Mod Installation Guide to learn the latest ways to set up custom mods.

• Patch 1.3 removed transparent support for .bsa archives, and there is still no way to create .ba2 archives, so here are the installation options that I understand them to be (copied from the mod thread). I don't have time to test them.

(The following example assumes you want to install "Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.bsa". Replace this text with the .bsa filename of your desired mod.)

Option 1:

*Go to Fallout4.ini under My Documents/My Games/Fallout 4

*Under the archive section, find 'sResourceArchiveList=' without quotes.

*Copy and paste this line and replace the existing line after 'sResourceArchiveList=':

sResourceArchiveList = Fallout4  -  Voices.ba2，Fallout4  -  Meshes.ba2，Fallout4  -  MeshesExtra.ba2，Fallout4  -  Misc.ba2，Fallout4  -  Sounds.ba2，Fallout4  -  Materials.ba2，Higher Female Protagonist Voice  -  Type D1.bsa

*Start the game and the voice should change to the type of voice you want.

Option 2:

*If you are afraid of messing up the Fallout4.ini file, you can put the following command into Fallout4Custom.ini. It will keep the original one and use the one from Fallout4Custom.ini while avoiding the wrong ini file.

[Archive]

sResourceArchiveList = Fallout4  -  Voices.ba2，Fallout4  -  Meshes.ba2，Fallout4  -  MeshesExtra.ba2，Fallout4  -  Misc.ba2，Fallout4  -  Sounds.ba2，Fallout4  -  Materials.ba2，Higher Female Protagonist Voice  -  Type D1.bsa

*Add the name of the esp file of your chosen voice type (for example: "Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.esp") to the plugins.txt file, which is usually located in C:\Users\(your username)\Application Data\Local\Fallout4.

*Extract the contents of the archive to the Fallout4\Data\ directory.

Option 3:

*Use the Bethesda Archive Extractor utility to extract the contents of this mod.bsa archive directly to your Data directory.

Special installation instructions for Automatron:

As far as I know (I could be mistaken), the .ba2 archive content packaged with this DLC has been given overall priority, which means that none of the above options will work until someone force-drops the content they want to replace. In other words, before the above options are possible, you may need to do the following:

1: Using Bethesda Archive Extractor, extract the contents of the DLCRobot - Voices_ja.ba2 archive to your data directory.

2: …
