From the makers of Dragon Quest XI Orchestral Overhaul Mod, we present Dragon Quest Builders Orchestral Overhaul Mod.
Main goal of this mod is to provide the proper auditory experience that is deserving of this masterpiece of a game by applying all available orchestral variants of the songs present in the game, as composed by Koichi Sugiyama and performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
All necessary steps to obtain musical bliss will be detailed below.
Hopefully it need not be said, but...
PLEASE, follow this guide thoroughly as to avoid compatibility issues and so that your experience in using this mod is as frustration-free as possible.
This video below will give you a glimpse of what you can expect from our mod:
Installation:
First, download our mod package from one of the links below which contain all the necessary files:
Mirror 1 (MEGA): https://pastebin.com/0kN3786G
Mirror 2 (GDrive): https://pastebin.com/d9Xn4P9r
After downloading the mod, extract the contents of the archive with the mod to a folder of your own choice, it's compressed in 7z format which can be unpacked using 7zip or WinRAR, though we do recommend 7zip for best compatibility to avoid any potential issues.
Next you'll want to make sure you've got a hacked PS4 on firmware 5.05 or higher (as of typing this 5.05 is highest moddable one) and that you have Dragon Quest Builders already installed on your PS4.
Now all you will need to do is select the "Dragon Quest Builders Orchestral Overhaul Mod.pkg" file from this unpacked OOM archive and copy it to the root of your USB disk or pendrive - this is crucial.
The patch is for the EU version of the game (CUSA05170) and is by default signed for compatibility with the "Dragon.Quest.Builders.PS4-DUPLEX.pkg" scene release.
If you want to use it on your own dump of the game, you will need to resign the PKG using the "PS4 PKG Repackager" which you can easily find by Googling for it.
After that you need to connect the USB disk/pendrive with the OOM PKG file on it to your PS4 and ensure you're running the exploit that enables use of Debug Menu.
Next go to "Settings" -> "Debug Settings" -> "Game" -> "Package Installer" on your PS4, find the mod package on the list and simply press X to install it.
The only thing left for you at this point is to simply start the game and enjoy it with the Orchestral Overhaul Mod in all its restored glory!
Closing Words:
Our team REFUSES and will NOT accept any form of donation for this project, everyone on the team loves these games as much as you and believe that this is the absolute best way to experience one of the finest entries in the series.
While assuming and hopeful that you already have, please support this series and the amazing music that has come about because of these games.
If there are any issues with the contents of the mod, installation or there's any other issues you might have then please don't hesitate and write in the thread.
Be warned that 3 of the tracks aren't orchestrated and remain synth, however this is simply because those tracks do not have any orchestral recordings available at all, they are the night town themes from the remakes of Dragon Quest III and IV so please do not report those as issues.
Thank you for understanding.
We also have a Vita version of this mod available right now:
