heyyy so, i kinda replaced one of the sound files for the lever action guns with a modded one and now i cant find the original. any idea how get the original lever action sounds back? the mod i tried was the widowmaker one along with its optional sound file. :/

So you want the vanilla sound back? Just delete the modded sound files of that weapon from Sounds folder where you put that file.

Alternatively you can use BSA Browser to extract the original file from Fallout - Sound.bsa.

yea, if it was a loose or a BSA just delete that file and your original ones should come back. It is overwriting the original files. Just like @c4in states above. If you are unsure... open the original mods folder, check the files and remove those files if you find them in the mod.

Of course this is only necessary if you manually installed or if the mod manager freaked out and failed to remove all the files when you uninstalled the mod.

so i just.. delete the sound file? and the original should come by?

Yes, the original sounds are stored in archives called BSAs and when when you remove the loose files overwriting something in the BSAs it'll just revert to the original sound.

ohhh it worked. thank you!

Yes, It worked because the files you are installing are being installed as loose or even BSA. These aren't the original files. The files you add to the game overwrite the original .. as the game works or what you see however, it doesn't. It is just "winning" the conflict war. It is shown first.

If I remember correctly. Loose files, BSA (from mods) then game files are the order the game access files. So.. If you install a loose file it will block or overwrite the BSA, the installed mod with aBSA would overwrite or block the main game file. Remove them... and the main files will become active again. Hope that helps you understand the process.
