#### Introduction

PC Soundsets adds 30 completely new and original soundsets to the game, which you can use for your PC. The soundsets are all written and recorded by members of the modding community.

PC Soundsets is not a WeiDU mod, and can be installed before or after any other mod, without any compatibility issues (and you can of course uninstall at any time). For Windows users, the mod comes with a useful installer, which automatically downloads and installs the soundsets you choose.

Version 2 adds 8 new soundsets (3 female and 5 male) to complement the original 22. The OSX/Linux version also includes a Windows batch script in case you have problems with or don't want to use the installer.

Visit the website or forum for all the latest updates.

The installer will then automatically download, extract and install the soundsets you selected. Make sure you are connected to the internet!

To uninstall in the future, run "uninstall.exe" from the shs#soundsets folder inside your game directory.
