Initial upload
Rastrum's gender swap mod and auaurora's patch fix are excellent, but since auaurorau's mod primarily focuses on the Frey (lesbian) dialogue, I wanted to do more extensive text edits for Lest. This includes main story dialogue and event dialogue, though the number of changes is limited due to the sheer amount of text in the game. I also fixed Lest's misaligned blush and changed some gendered commentary the player character receives from tourists.
The current patch works regardless of whether you are using EN or JP voices. Download instructions: 1. Install Rastrum's Gender Swap by extracting the files into the "Bundle" folder in your game's directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rune Factory 4 Special). Do not put the files in a separate folder, for the mod to work you need to have the files loose in the Bundle folder. 2. Install auaurorau's Fix Patch by extracting the files into the "Bundle" folder in your game's directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rune Factory 4 Special). Do not put the files in a separate folder, for the mod to work you need to have the files loose in the Bundle folder. It will ask you if you want to replace certain files, say yes. 3. Extract this mod into the Bundle folder after downloading the required mods. If the mod is downloaded before the other mods, then it will not work properly. Once again it will ask you if you want to replace certain files, say yes.
Features include:
Lest's blush has been realigned and should appear properly on his face
Corrected main story dialogue (particularly in the intro with Arthur)
Partial rewrite of dialogue in romance-related Town Events (including marriage events)
More accurate pronouns and reference terms during dates with the boys
Corrected pre- and post-marriage dialogue (wife and husband becomes wives/husbands, etc)
Partially corrected daily dialogue with Dylas, Vishnal, Doug, Nancy, and Jones (most of it should be the correct gender now, but since there are 118k lines of text I might have missed some instances of misgendering)
Please let me know if you encounter any misgendering in your playthrough and I will do my best to correct it ASAP. I love Rune Factory 4 so let's make love win together <3
Edit Jan 30 2025: If you'd like to play as lesbian Frey (and have no plans on playing as Lest), I recommend you check out MysticElodie's Lesbian Princess Rewrite.
