No audio only on custom stories?

[EatMyDingleBerry]

Im playing on the newest version of the game and get no audio when I go to talk to characters. They move and everything and the story progresses, but they just dont make any sound. Background noises and conversations are fine, just the conversations Im involved in. The weirder thing is that this only happens on custom stories. I thought maybe it could be a bug with the specific story I was playing, but I've downloaded three now and had the same issue with each. The stories say they were made for 18.2, so I went back to that version to see if that would help anything with no luck. Not sure what to do now.

Custom stories do not have spoken audio. The only exception to this is if you follow the installation instructions for custom stories that specifically are meant to "override" the Original Story, which gives them access to voiced lines.

We would never be able to voice all the lines possibly used in Custom Stories

Yeah, I get that lol. I just meant the regular lines. I didn't realize you have to install the story as a mod to get access to the original voice lines. Like, I read that but just didn't understand I guess. My bad.

All good. Very, very few custom stories are meant to or even CAN function as "overrides" of the Original Story. Check out "Gone Bad Party" in the game client and on our forums for an example of one that is specifically meant to override the Original Story and use our VA.
