1) Create 2 folders on your desktop. One that says JAPANESE VOICES, and the other saying ENGLISH VOICES.
2) Create 2 more folders simply called "Data"(without quotes) - You're gonna put 1 empty Data folder in each of those voice folders you just made
3) Find your English Voice ba2 files in your Fallout4/Data folder. You should have 5 of them.
4) Copy those English Voice Ba2's, and paste them in the data folder of the ENGLISH VOICE FOLDER we just made on the desktop. This will act as your backup..AGAIN....So now on your desktop, your ENGLISH VOICES folder should have a Data folder in it, which should have the copies of the english voice ba2's.
5) zip this file. Make it into a RAR.. whichever you prefer. Name it "ENGLISH VOICES", too.
6) Once you have zipped that "ENGLISH VOICES" folder, add that file to your mod manager. THE ZIPPED FILE, not the unzipped/ loose file.. i recommend keeping a copy of the loose English files, as well keeping the zipped copy in your mod manager. Doesn't hurt.
Now for the Japanese voices, it's pretty much the same process:
7) Download all files from this mod.
8) Once you have downloaded all of them, throw all the BA2's into the Data folder of the JAPANESE VOICES folder you made earlier. THERE SHOULD BE SIX ALTOGETHER!
9) Once again, we're gonna zip or compress it into a RAR. Your preference. Name it "JAPANESE VOICES"
10) Add the zipped file to your mod manager. You can definitely delete the loose copies of the mod.
11) I highly recommend the mod NPC's Travel. It adds in more NPC's to the wander the wasteland such as Vendors, hunters, Mercs, Travelers, as well enemies. You can tweak the amount of spawns to your liking. GREAT MOD. Reason im recommending this mod? Because it offers Japanese Voice support. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16987 - Head on over, grab the mod if you wish, and make sure to check out the optional files for the Japanese Voices. If you download it and don't use the optional Japanese support file, they'll speak English. Talk about immersion breaking. ANYWAY..back to the tutorial. :D
12) Where were we...OH...you just zipped up that file containing all the Japanese voices and added it to your mod manager .Good job! Head on over your Fallout4.ini folder, and follow the steps on the Description part of this mod. You're gonna need to add a tag to it so it can read the Japanese files.
13) So this is where i like to organize stuff(this step will be a little different from user to user) Now i use NMM, which has a category for voice mods. But seeing is how these are 100% custom made zips, your mod manager ain't gonna recognize them and won't put them in a specific category. In my case, even though i do have a voice mod category, NMM won't put them there. So they're gonna be in "Unassigned" - I don't use Vortex, so im not sure where they'll go for you. But if Vortex is anything like NMM, you should be able to search for both Voice mods you just made. I would hope you know your mod manager of choice like the back of your hand, as you've been using it for modding all this time.. and hopefully you can keep track of where things are installed. Right? I can't hold your hand for this one, sorry.. But once you locate both the JAPANESE and ENGLISH VOICES files, simply assign them somewhere that makes sense or simply make a new category for easier finding later.
14) All you gotta do now is activate the JAPANESE VOICES mod, and it should work! Disabling it afterwards should disable the Japanese voices. If it doesn't you have the ENGLISH VOICES mod to overwrite.
I hope this makes sense, and i know...i suck at instructions.
Hi! Love this mod! Probably one of my favorites of all time. Learning Japanese in school so playing with this is great. Only thing, is my voice volume is now sorta low. Perhaps us Americans are just annoying loud xD but I have everything set to half volume with voice volume full but still not loud enough. Know of a ini tweak or something I can do to raise voice volume more?
I found a simpler way to do it, idk how it works but it does, right click the game on steam set it to japanese, it will download all the voices, while still retain english sub and menu, basically English everything except the voices. of course back up the english voices just in case
In Skyrim I mixed the languages up, so species speak different languages, like aargonians speak japanese to each other, orcs are stubborn and speak only german, etc. I'm going to try to do something similar here with this. Super mutants, or the children of atom maybe? Which group would possibly speak another language? Enemies wouldn't need subtitling.. Anyway super cool, thanks for this possibility.
I suppose you would just delete them and then verify game files in steam and it will redownload them. However I will recommend you start using MO2, it handles all mods from outside the game folder and when you launch the game it applies your entire load order.
I wanted to do something like this with French but can't seem to make it work. does the Fallout4 - Voice_rep.ba2 does anything? cuz the Japanese voice has it but the French doesn't.
I'm also encountering an issue that others have reported where some voice lines will still be in English rather than Japanese. Has anyone discovered a fix for this? I can't think of any possible mod conflicts.
Do you have Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch installed? If you do then that is the main problem. That patch adds many new voice lines and they are the reason why you are having that problem.
@Hydrogeniv You can use Archive2 to delete the ".fuz" file in the "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch - Main.ba2" to get the Japanese audio. If you can read Japanese, the following site should help you. https://husahusablog.com/fallout4-2
The tutorials dont seem to make sense? I have tried following the one in the comments but it is incorrect. It says theres 5 voice files but theres only... 1?

How do you actually put this mod in?
