Uncensored & Restored Soundtrack
Description
Current version: 1.01
Release date: April 6th, 2022
Hello there. Thanks for downloading my mod!
With this mod, every single song in the game will be their full, unedited and/or uncensored versions. It always bothered me how some of them get cut off so suddenly, especially the rap and hip-hop ones. As a bonus, some of them are straight from the newly remastered releases, such as Rise Against and The Bronx. All songs were sourced from 320kbps .mp3 files for max quality.
Changelog
- 1.00: First release
- 1.01: Hotfix for "Cirrus - Back On A Mission" where it had nearly 3 minutes of silence after the song ended.
Installation
- Download the .7z archive and extract it into your game's directory. If you can't open .7z archives, simply download the program, it's free.
- You'll see 2 folders, pfdata and speech. Again make sure they are in the root of the game's install folder.
- Now, rename or move your SDATA folder somewhere else.
That's it. Now go check in-game, you'll notice Riders On The Storm will take a bit longer to start but that's just how the official remastered version Snoop Dogg's compilation album has it.
Please report any issues regarding volume, perhaps crackling, or songs that don't skip. Personally I do have some minor crackling in Capone - I Need Speed but only when using my speakers (I'm on a 32" TV) but the crackling is gone once I use my headphones. If you also find the same issue, again, please report.

I created an account JUST to comment under this. I recently reinstalled the game, listened to the tracks while roaming, and my oh my did I forget how bad the censorship was. Especially with rap - either you hear a full sentence or it's like someone choking on their spit. Bless you.

@xGMVx I started sharing my mods, already got a few out for a couple of games and some more on the way. Currently making an in depth guide for coloring the UI elements in Most Wanted using SATEditor. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the first of it's kind. Sharing is a lot more fun than just having a private little experience.

@LightRock97 Oh man, I can't stress this enough, thanks for the feedback! And you're correct, I made this and several other mods for pretty much all other games but never shared, never thought anyone would be interested. The first attempt gave me such a bloated file at almost 2GB, this time I tried to make it small, and it seems I can go smaller with some hex editing. I'm surely updating this soon enough! Please do share your own work eventually too!

@luluco250 Thanks for letting me know, I will update this soon and add that file. I'll be delving into Linux some more soon enough, sorry for the late reply, thanks for the feedback.@BadHairDay Thank you kindly for your tool! I always wanted to do this, the rap songs needed it the most. If we could add songs I'd love to insert the Underground Rivals songs as well. Maybe someday :)
