About this mod Machine translation

Added music from previous X games...all of them! You can choose any of 7 music packs to choose your favorite combination based on your loyalty to the X4's original vibe, track count, and codec quality.

Introduction





I saw the X Rebirth Ambient Music mod on and decided to give it a try. When I looked at the mod files, I actually changed my mind because I saw the crappy . Not to mention that the X Rebirth OST has more sacred music that is not included in this mod or the game itself.

This all inspires me to make the best X-clus selection of X-tracks for you. X4: Foundations ambient music tracks have a very unique style - slow, spacey and ethereal, slightly bassy and reverberant, with mild synths and no or very mild percussion. XR music incorporates this style, unlike some of the tracks from earlier games like X3, X2 or X-Tension, which are a different animal. Because of the diversity of this genre, I decided to create a variety of music packs for different player tastes.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
