Thanks to the power of bulk renaming, I can release PPs that can be played on vanilla OB, with no ST required. I've had requests for this, which makes sense since several of our VAs are players but not modders in the "using the CS" sense. This won't work straight outta the box, but nothing more is required than unpacking and renaming directories.
Here is the 7Z, which includes Khajiit/M, NordScot/M, UCImperial/M, Bosmer/M and Dunmer/M. A couple of notes first:
- You cannot harm the vast majority of OB voices, as they live in a BSA somewhere. The only files under Oblivion.ESM are probably corrections from previous patches, and there don't seem to be too many of those.
- Certain groups of voices can never be tested at the same time in vanilla OB. These include or will include:
Honestly I'm hoping this will give me more feedback, particularly from the VAs.
Go persuade somebody,
Steve

- Certain groups of voices can never be tested at the same time in vanilla OB. These include or will include:
- Any LC/MC/UC variants of the same race,
- Argonians and Khajiit,
- Nords and Orcs,
- The 3 Elven races.
- Before unpacking, go into Data\sound\voice\Oblivion.esm and rename each of the existing race dirs by adding a "1" to the name.
- Then unpack the 7Z into Data\sound\voice.
- Return to Data\sound\voice\Oblivion.esm and you should see 5 additional dirs, none of which are official OB race voice dirs.
- Rename for testing the dirs you want to official names: Khajiit to Argonian, Wood or Dark Elf to High Elf, and the others are obvious. Keep the conflicts listed above in mind.
- To restore, just rename the dirs back to the way they were.
Honestly I'm hoping this will give me more feedback, particularly from the VAs.
