I love the graphics of V V 3, but some of the villager voices reallly annoy me. I also miss the "wwwwweeeeiiiieeeeee" sound one of the little girls would sometimes make in VV2. I would not mind changing it myself, but I looked at the sounds and they're .ogg files and I don't have the slightest idea how to deal with this file type. Any future possibility of a sound mod or any tips on how to deal with ogg files?

Thanks!

The little kid sound you like is still in VV3. I love that one - it's my favorite. As to whether or not there will be sound mods, we'll just have to wait and see what people come up with.

.ogg files are just audio files. There is nothing special about them. They are like .mp3 or .wav or .midi files... just another audio format.

You should be able to play them with most good audio players. I can play all the VV3 files with my media player and also the free audio editor Audacity. If you click on them and are told that your computer doesn't know what program to use to open them, try starting up your audio player and opening the files from inside it. Or just download Audacity, it's an excellent piece of software.

Editing the in-game sounds is easy. Simply take the file you don't like and delete it (I suggest keeping a backup, of course). Then take a file you like and name it the same thing as the deleted file. Make sure the file extensions match, because while some files are .ogg, some are .wav.

Taking files from one VV game and putting them into another should be no problem. I tested it by replacing all the child voices with the bees buzzing sound. It worked just fine.

Good luck.

You can use a program like MediaMonkey to convert from one file type to another. The paid version unlocks more features, but I think converting to .ogg is in their basic free package.

I just had to get rid of that "slurping" sound!! LOL

Thanks guys!

I was able to listen to the .ogg files using Media Jukebox and I replaced Child 4,9,10 which sound very shrill to me with child 1, which is the "Weeeeiiiieeee" sound. I also replaced fem.pick1 and fem.pick6, which really annoyed me, with fem.pick8.

In case someone does not have a .ogg player, I converted the sounds to .wavs, if people would like to listen to the originals to help them figure out which ones they want to keep:
