I recently did a full clean wipe of my mod list on XB1 and started a brand new mod play. I decided to give this a download, and it is a refreshing change to hear additional inspired musical scores alongside vanilla music content. Before my modded plays, after liek the fourth vanilla playthrough I turned off the music (and would turn the radio on if I wanted background music).
Decent tracks on their own, but they're distracting when exploring the world. Hearing a guy going nuts on the piano whilst trying to talk to an NPC doesn't quite fit.
So I love this mod and its music but I hated the original FO4 sound track to the point that for years I played with the music simply turned off. Now I like the music in this mod, but it feels like its constantly fighting the games original sound track. I'll hear good music one moment, then it'll switch to base game music randomly, then a few seconds later it starts a new modded track, rinse and repeat. I've tried to find some way to remove the base game music but the only mod I found to do that silenced the mod's music too. Anybody have any ideas or mods they know of that may fix this?
FO4 original soundtrack is great, written by highly acclaimed composer Inon Zur. While I think you are crazy for not liking it, to make a replacer- use xedit. It is actually pretty straight forward.
If you REALLY want to remove all the vanilla songs, you need to open the .esp in FO4Edit, then open the "Music Type" category. From there, you will need to go through each and every Music Type listed (the picture is showing MUSzPublic as an example, which is only the music that plays in Diamond City and Goodneighbor) and delete the vanilla options under the "Faded Glory - Soundtrack Expansion.esp" column.
The end result will look like this:
Just be aware this mod doesn't add any combat music as you'll see, so if you delete the tracks in the combat music types, you'll just have no combat music in general. There's also nothing to delete under the Vault88Workshop category since there's no vanilla music that plays specifically in Vault 88. Once you've gone through each music type and made them look like the second image, save the .esp and close out of FO4Edit and you'll be good to go.
