Crooners and Big Band Songs

Crooners and Big Band Songs

This is a small mod that replaces 14 of the Diamond City Radio songs. Namely, it replaces the more Rockabilly and Country-esque tunes with music by dance orchestras and pop singers. This mod is completely tailored to my own personal tastes, but others may like it.

Songs replaced are:

Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On – Big Maybelle
Sixty Minute Man – Billy Ward
Rocket 69 – Connie Allen
The Wanderer – Dion
The Wandererxxx – Dion (second file, for some reason, but replaced regardless)
Keep-a Knockin’ – Louis Jordan
Orange Coloured Sky – Nat King Cole
Right Behind You, Baby – Ray Smith
The End of the Word – Skeeter Davis
Atom Bomb Baby – The Five Stars
Worry, Worry, Worry – The Three Suns
Uranium Rock – Warren Smith
Grandma Plays the Numbers – Wynonie Harris
Crawl Out Through the Fallout – Sheldon Allman
Uranium Fever – Elton Britt

Replaced with:

(I Love You) From Coast to Coast – Chick Bullock
The Panic is On – Connie Boswell
Dance With A Dolly – Marilyn Maxwell
I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine – Dean Martin
Saturday Night – Frankie Masters Orchestra
I May Be Wrong – Tony Martin
Gotta Have Your Love – Ina Ray Hutton Orchestra
Handful of Stars – Ina Ray Hutton Orchestra
Mr. Jones (Are You Coming to Bed?) – Ambrose Orchestra
My Heart is a Hobo – Bing Crosby
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe – The Andrews Sisters
I’d Love to Take Orders From You – Phil Harris Orchestra
Sing For Your Supper – Carroll Gibbons Orchestra
You’re Double Lovely – Bing Crosby
Oh, You Nasty Man – Frances Langford

All other songs are kept in. Some recordings are transcribed from my own record collection, while others are sourced from old radio transcriptions also from my collection or from Archive.org. They are quite old, so the fidelity is obviously not perfect. I feel they fit well with the other tunes; but, again, this may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

This was based using the file list from Custom Radio Music mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/255/?).

—INSTALLATION—

1. Unpack the archive and drop the Sound folder into your Fallout 4 Data folder. File structure should be: Fallout 4\Data\sound\fx\mus\radio\diamondcity

2. Be sure your Fallout4.ini is edited to accommodate these changes. Edit the sResourceDataDirsFinal= to this:

sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\

Then check your Fallout4Prefs.ini and add the following line under [Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

3. Start the game and enjoy the music.

—UNINSTALL—

Simply remove the file structure sound\fx\mus\radio\diamondcity or delete the diamondcity file.

—BUGS or QUESTIONS—

Let me know if any issues or problems arise.

Enjoy!
