GenderBender - Ervin To Cassandra 1.0.1

GenderBender (Ervin To Cassandra)

Features:
-Changes Barrett’s spouse from Ervin to Cassandra across 100+ lines (text, voice, and facial animation).
-Alters the "Break of Dawn" quest: Hilda (female) replaces Hugo (male).
-Updates romance options to focus on heterosexual relationships.
-Adjusts companion romance logic to reflect these changes.
-Updates Cora Coe’s hairstyle to align with her character's ethnic background.

How It Works:
-Barrett’s voice was analyzed across 16 emotions (consolidated into 8 categories).
-Each emotion group was used to generate seamless voice replacements (e.g., Barrett Happy, Barrett Angry).
-Supporting NPCs (Helgi, Pauline, Ellie) were also voice-cloned to ensure dialogue consistency.
-Subtitles were updated in the Creation Kit to reflect these text changes.

Installation:
-Install like any other mod: includes .esp plugin, .wav / .wem audio, and .ffxanim animation files.
-If the plugin is disabled, audio overrides will still work but subtitles will not update.
-To uninstall: remove the files, and your game reverts to normal.

Compatibility:
-Generally compatible with most mods.
-Only conflicts with mods that directly edit Barrett’s dialogue.

Requirements:
-Base game Starfield only. No DLC required.

Permissions:
-Free to share, redistribute, and modify.
-Once downloaded, it’s yours—mod your game however you like.

A Note on Availability & Player Choice:
-It does not contain hate speech or target any specific group.
-It offers an alternative experience for players who prefer different romance options or character designs.
-This mod exists to provide players with more customization choices, similar to other mods that adjust gameplay difficulty, appearance, or other narrative elements.
-If this mod is removed from one site, you should be able to find it through a simple search on other hosting platforms. I also plan to mirror my mods on additional sites to ensure continued availability.

Looking Forward:
-The techniques used in this project have opened the door to broader modding possibilities. With the same process, any NPC could be fully re-voiced and re-styled—whether you want Rick Sanchez instead of Sam Coe, or entirely different personalities for companions. This mod is just the start of experimenting with Starfield’s voice, dialogue, and animation systems.

Final Thoughts: This was beneficial to a tool I created to replace any Companion with anyone you want. In a trial, I was able to completely replace Barrett with Uncle Ruckus from the 2005 TV show "The Boondocks" changing 6707 voice lines to Uncle Ruckus's cloned voice and comments. Unfortunately, due to copywrite errors, this mod can not be posted anywhere without being taken down immediately.
