Higher Voice For Curie (日本語化)
Here is the Japanese version of Higher Voice For Curie. She's my favorite companion out of every Bethesda RPG, including New Vegas.
English version is here.
Female protagonist voice mods (Japanese): Higher, deeper.
Male protagonist voice mods (Japanese): Deeper, higher.
Other companion voice mods (Japanese): Piper.
Other audio mods: IMPACTFUL NUKES.
The demonstration video contains spoilers for anyone who hasn't traveled with Curie for a while!
Note: On the whole, the pitch of the voice isn't much changed in any of these voice types, but what does change appreciably is the apparent age of the voice. Each step higher primarily means a somewhat younger-sounding voice.
Also note: I have provided three sets of files. (Spoiler alert.)
Voice Type A1: 3% higher.
Voice Type A2: 6% higher.
Voice Type A3: 9% higher.
Voice Type A4: 12.2% higher.
Voice Type A5: 15.6% higher.
Voice Type A6: 18.9% higher. It's beginning to sound a little artificial at this point.
Voice Type U2: 50% higher pitch, 9% higher formants, high distortion. Use at your own discretion!
Voice Type U4: 78.2% higher pitch, 18.9% higher formants, high distortion. Use at your own discretion!
Installation (as of 2016-3-21):
1. Follow the Fallout 4 Mod Installation guide to learn the latest method for setting up custom mods.
2. Patch 1.3 eliminated transparent support for .bsa archives, and there still is no way of creating .ba2 archives, so here are the options for installing as I understand them (copied from the mod thread). I have not found the time to test them.
(The following examples assume you want to install "Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.bsa". Replace this text with the .bsa filename of your intended mod.)
Option 1:
* Go to your Fallout4.ini under My Documents/My Games/Fallout4
* Under Archive section, find 'sResourceArchiveList=' without the quotes.
* Copy and paste this line and replace the existing line after 'sResourceArchiveList=':
sResourceArchiveList=Fallout4 - Voices.ba2, Fallout4 - Meshes.ba2, Fallout4 - MeshesExtra.ba2, Fallout4 - Misc.ba2, Fallout4 - Sounds.ba2, Fallout4 - Materials.ba2, Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.bsa
* Start your game and the voice should have change to your desired voice type.
Option 2:
* If you're afraid of messing up the Fallout4.ini file, you can just place the commands below into Fallout4Custom.ini. It will leave the original one intact and use the one in Fallout4Custom.ini while avoiding faulty ini file.

sResourceArchiveList=Fallout4 - Voices.ba2, Fallout4 - Meshes.ba2, Fallout4 - MeshesExtra.ba2, Fallout4 - Misc.ba2, Fallout4 - Sounds.ba2, Fallout4 - Materials.ba2, Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.bsa
* Add the name of the esp file of your chosen voice type (for example: "Higher Female Protagonist Voice - Type D1.esp") to the plugins.txt file, which is typically located in C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Fallout4.
* Extract the contents of the archive to your Fallout4\Data\ directory.
Option 3:
* Use the Bethesda Archive Extractor utility to directly extract the contents of this mod's .bsa archive to your Data directory.
Other:
Although I can follow the Japanese language reasonably well, I am not so good at composing text, so I did not bother. I don't expect this to be much of a barrier.
I hope this mod is of use to others.
Q: Why is the filename for Type A6 called "Type A6b"?
A: Because the first upload of Type A6 somehow didn't get attached to this mod entry, but it's on the Nexus servers anyway, so I can't re-upload the same filename, nor can I delete the existing file since it has no entry.

Voice Types:Show
Note: On the whole, the pitch of the voice isn't much changed in any of these voice types, but what does change appreciably is the apparent age of the voice. Each step higher primarily means a somewhat younger-sounding voice.
Also note: I have provided three sets of files. (Spoiler alert.)
Spoiler:
This way, one has the option of making Curie's non-robot voice distinct from her robot incarnation - which might be useful when model replacements come along to overhaul Curie's physical appearance. As an example, I currently use Type A3-R together with Type A4-S. In case it wasn't obvious: If you intend to use separate voice types in this fashion, you do not need to download one of the complete voice types.
Show
- A complete version, with robot and non-robot Curie set at the same pitch adjustment.
- Separate files for robot and non-robot Curie. These will have the following naming convention: Type A1-R for robot, Type A1-S for non-robot. These can be located in the Optional Files category.
