It is actually very easy to create new sound sets with this. All you need are the original sound files. Since it uses .wav files, which is the most basic sound file type, that makes it even easier. There are over a dozen different sound events, and each has a different folder that is clearly named. Such as Bowshowt, which plays when you fire a bow, and so on. Each folder can have 10 sound files in it, and again, they are simply named - bow1, bow2, etc...

So you just take your original files, copy the ones you want to the sound event folders you want, and rename them. I discovered that if you only have 1 sound file, it will only play one time in 10 when that event happens. So if you want to hear a sound played every time you fire a bow, you have to make 10 copies of the file, and number them bow1 - bow10. If you only want to hear it half the time, make 5 copies, and so on. This is actually rather nice, since it lets you control the frequency that you hear something.

I amplified Viconia and Imoen, and am back to do more testing. So far so good.

Yes, because I took some of the Imoen .wav files from BruceVayne's Oblivion Soundset mods and used them for this mod as well.

Are you talking Sofia the spellsword fully voiced follower? If so, yes.

I take it this is a "play sound," - no lip files? (because I noticed the voice files in Skyrim are .fuz.

There are no lip files. It is just the .wav files only.

Don't feel bad. At one time I was pretty good with Oblivion's scripting. I used several mods with scripts I created myself, like my ferryboat mod. But Skyrim's scripting makes no sense to me at all.

It isn't just that - I have to re-read everything repeatedly to absorb anything, and some cognitive function seems to be blocked. I am afraid I'm incapable of manipulating scripts even in Oblivion anymore - sure I'm not capable of learning a new scripting language anymore. This ... lack of function - one of the things that left me so depressed this past year. I plan to take the scripting class for Skyrim at the TESAlliance - Insanity Sorrow is a genius with scripts, and may give me some extra help since he knows my medical situation.

Or you could use different sound files for each event, right? Like for Bowshot:

Bow1 could be "Stand still so I can get your knee..." and
Bow2 could be "Dear gods you're an ugly sucker!" (etc)

- like ELZ's sound files in Oblivion, where it cycles through the comments so you can randomize 10 different comments for each event?

I may end up using that one, but sure would love it if it used lip files like BruceVayne's Oblivion Sound Sets did.

Don't worry overmuch about the memory/cognition thing. It takes time for your brain to rewire itself back to some level of cognitive function. I've been reading studies that show that the brain is capable of reforming new networks after something like traumatic brain damage (which is what you experienced with your stroke) as long as the neurons are constantly stimulated. They may not function the same way as before, but they will function. Working on things like scripts that makes you confront your shortcomings will stimulate those crapped out neurons into working again! I'm glad that Insanity Sorrow may be willing to help you out! It's going to be frustrating, but keep at it, kid!

Here’s a utility that looks like it will give you the moving lips: Unfuzer. I could be wrong about what it does, though.

Additional Player Voices for Skyrim gives you about a dozen or so events that you can map sounds too. With up to ten sounds per event, that gives you a lot of diversity. I find the big problem is actually finding that many different sounds. Most of the events in my voice sets only have one to two different sounds. It was only making the Innocent set today that for the first time I had a dozen sounds for one event, and actually had to cut a few to get them down to ten.

I have only been playing with it for a few days, but so far APV has been really good. It has events for most things you do, like mounting a horse, discovering a new location, leveling up, skill increases, going into combat, drawing a weapon, etc... It only seems to be lacking in a few things, like a sound event for picking a lock/pocket, or becoming over-encumbured. It would also be nice to have a sound that would kick in when you are idle for a certain amount of time. I have no idea how you would add those events though. Skyrim's scripting makes as much sense to me at Sanskrit. But even lacking those, it is far an away my favorite choice of the voice mods out there.

I did some testing, and found it picks which sound to play in an event folder at random. Even if you do not have a .wav file for a particular 'slot', it might pick that one. In which case it just doesn't play anything. So if you only have one file, you will only hear a sound about once in ten times on average. If you want to hear something every time, you need to make 10 copies of your .wav file in the event folder. Even then though, I found that sometimes it still doesn't play a sound. My guess would be the script is getting butterfingers.

I have discovered that you don't need any .wav files in the event folders. You can leave some blank, and the mod will simply not play anything when that event happens. So no worries about breaking anything if you don't want a sound for some things. Which brings me to two events I am not sure about Bowshot and Crossbow. Both play a sound whenever you fire the particular weapon. But do you really want to hear your character say something every time you shoot? That would seem like it would get repetitive really fast.

Hey SR, can you tell me which of your body/face textures you allowed to overwrite? I'm didn't allow any to overwrite till I could ask you, and although she looks good - not as good as she should with those high res textures; and in some lights or places her skin shows an odd pattern.

No neck seams though! I've got some pictures of her, will post them as soon as I can.

Version 0.088 is the first version released for the game, include just bugs and performance fixes of the game.

Version 0.102 Tatsudoshi is New Year 2012 release, the same as previous versions, it use fake "ENB" video adapter to fix game bugs like transparent water and invisible fire (not actual now, but users of Radeon 2xxx/3xxx still have these issues). Not recommended, because it's very slow.

Version 0.103 Injector first version with special ENBInjector tool which allow to run mod while some incompatible software used (Afterburner, XFire, etc) or for Optimus laptops. Not recommended, because it's very slow.

Version 0.108 TrueHDR is very fast and simplified without most effects.

Version 0.119 last non deffered which completely support hardware antialiasing (msaa), but at cost of performance and quality. Latest versions support antialiasing, but some effects do not work.

Version 0.132 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets.

Version 0.168 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets.

Version 12.12.12 is performance optimized, but it's very old.

Version 13.7.13 is the last which optimized for old videocards of DirectX10 generation like GeForce
8xxx/9xxx/2xx and Radeon 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx, so each version after that developed corresponding to modern DX11 generation of videocards which have much faster arithmetics. Some effects may run slower for old cards, but faster for new. Sorry, but i can't make two versions, so after purchasing modern videocard everything changed accordingly.

Version 0.192 and newer include ENBoost patch (available for some other games too) which reduce memry usage of the game and as result fewer CTDs (crashes) and you may install much more modifications.
Version 0.226 support helper plugin which allow to use weather system and time without problems with game scripting.

Hardware antialiasing (msaa) supported in versions 0.119 and lower for all effects, all other version use deffered rendering which do not support aa. But in latest mods (starting from v0.180 if i remember, inclufing v13.7.13) you may enable antialiasing, many effects will turn off automatically then, but in general colors will be the same.

Presets are compatible with other versions of the mod with minor changes. For example 0.088-0.119 versions may use the same preset, 0.119-0.132 too, 0.132-0.168, etc.
