This mod turns Fallout 4 into a Silent Hill like Nightmare with Sirenhead and PyramidHead, a own questline and a new world to explore - a city called Whispering Hills. From now on you will be surrounded by Thick Fog, strange sounds and occasionally being dragged into a otherworld where monsters await you!

THE DARK OTHERWORLD
Now and then the Day turns into the night and you'll be Dragged into the otherworld.
Here you will face your deepest Fears as Monsters attack you constantly.
This lasts just a few minutes but you better be prepared!

Releasenotes:

7.05

• fixed AI misbehaviour in the Otherworld City sometimes driving Dreadmouth insane fighting the dogs
• Removed some misplaced objects
• Updated honorable Youtuber list in both backroom levels.

7.04

• • Added extra trigger infront of otherrworld church to update the EP4 Quest. That should hopefully fix for some people the wrong questmarker in he Hell City.
  • Changed BGM Music priority, it really bugs out laltey and hopefully its back now. no Idea where the music gets stuck in Whispering Hills, such a aoddity.
  • Fixed a few Typos and misplaced objects
  • Added back the dancing animations for the secret area ;)

7.02

• Important bugfix for people stuck in the PT section with doors not opening! Your savegame is most likely scattered with old WH playthrough data, and those door triggers stop functioning because of that. Consider creating a new game at this point. I fixed and renamed all the triggers so you can continue, so this update fixes this issue.
• Enhanced SirSics' voices and regenerated fuz files; it should be much smoother now.

7.01

Fixed: Crash on main menu
Had to remove the main menu music from the files because it caused crashes. I added it now as raw Wav to the installer wich the game seems to like more.

7.00

Episode 4 Update!
After a year of working on this, it's finally done!
The town of Whispering Hills now has about 100 hectares to explore, and the questline continues!
Tons of bugs and inconveniences were fixed as well, which will take way too long to write down here,
but all the typos should be gone now as well.
In this episode, we try out new crazy stuff with the Fallout 4 Engine and are most likely pushing it to its limits right now. So, be prepared!

6.03
- Finally hopefully i fixed the falling through the floor in apartment Floor 3...mabye... please?
- Fixed the Foxy secret follower so the voicelines work. For all of you already unlocking her it might be too late as shes bugged in your savegame. The Engine does not like it if a NPC gets disabled and wont reenable the voicelines. You might try to resurrect her via console.
- Added a gameplay section to the Whispeirng Hills Holotape that lets you remove the Foxy follower as wel las tweak other values of the game.
- Minor fixes here and there on leveldesign.

6.02
Hopefully fixed the Xbox bug where people falling trhough the floor on the Apartments Floor 3. ... WHY?
Added missing Voicelines to Johnny at the end of EP3
Fixed a few leveldesign mistakes here and there.6.01

I am glad to announce a small Bugfix update!

Fixed:
- Main Menu song and a few other sounds where missing
- Fixed the Cult door in dunwitch not working
- Made the fire exit more obvious to find by moving it in the floor itself
- Placed the Isotope more prominent and marked the path to the Heart puzzle with a arrow...

6.00
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
These only apply if you are right now in the Whispering Hills town:
Before updating please head back to the dunwitch boerers and then update the mod.
I changed a important part that NEEDS you to go trough the passages to whispering hills again.
Grab all of your stuff from the box of Redemption just to be sure.

Changelog:
-Added new Content to the town of Whispering Hills - Episode 3 the Apartments
Now all of the Apartments and a great deal of the Town is explore able!
New Factions await you and a lot of Storytelling slowly revealing the what happened in Whispering Hills.

-Added a new Flashlight that gets activated/deactivated once you enter/leave the town of whispering hills through the Passages of Dunwitch.
Please make sure it does not collide with your Pipboy mods.
- Grabbing the Teddy from the first hell now disables to door towards Whispering Hills as too much confusion happend about the Key.
- Dunwitch has now two doors for you to use to quickly travel up and down. Use the key found by the box of redemption.
- Changed a lot of bugs and improved level design all over the town and quest lines.
- We added a special follower to Sanctuary for you once you complete the secret Pass code in the Apartments.
- I reduced the pacify change from 40% to 5%. Everyone is frenzied and on the edge by monsters and fog so pacify NPC's is not that easy anymore... Use the Holotape to rise this value if you really need it.
- ... tons of more stuff i simply forgot i did as usual ;)

5.54
Fixed a bug where on old savegames there where no Key of Burden in the teddy of shaun. The key will now appear after you took the teddy and flee from the hell dimension on a metal table infront of the closed door.

5.53
-Added a few more "things" to the Sewers.
-hopefull fixed several reported bugs about the PT halls acting like a trap when you jump down the holes.
-removed the need to have the teddybear to enter the Whispering Hills world. You now have to get a key from the first hell inside Shauns teddy as well. The key also is available (metaltable right of the door) if you come from Whispering Hills as safe fallback option.
-Fixed several small details everywhere.
-Added a friendly Hell Dog to Whispering Hills as patreon request. He will become relevant later on.

5.52

-Fixes the crash in the mannequin PT Loop.
-Hopefully fixes compatibility with the Pip Pad mod (if your pippad already is gone, disable the mod, load savegame, Save, Enable the pip pad mod)

5.51

Fixed Packing error resulting in missing rain textures and violet Rain.

5.50

This update can be seen as Episode 2.5 making parts of Episode 3 content already available.
It introduces some new mechanics we had to develop for Episode 3 and while we eagerly await to finish EP3 as soon as possible, we don't want to keep you all waiting.

Just head to the sewers now using the maintenance key.
Please note that we know of a random crash in the new levels that i can not narrow down yet. I think i push this engine a little too hard.

Important: Do not use follower mods of any kind in the whispering Hills City. This is a solo player experience and any follower will trigger
doors effectively locking you out.

With Whispering Hills PT we are also happy to announce the first Band Music being produced! This would never been possible without your help!

Happy Spooktober!
I decided to add a long requested weather with this update to the Commonwealth: The Downpour Rain.
With this update you have a 15% chance on every weather change to experience this Rainy foggy weather.
But its not just rain that you can expect. You will be watched from above and there is a 50% chance that you will
experience brain eater Worms coming out of the soil to hunt you down. (You can set the chances for this to happen in the Holotape).

Other changes:
- I calculated a Visual Graph for the city of Whispering Hills. This makes the mod slightly larger but hopefully you will experience better FPS especially on Xbox.
If you notice the performance going down or oddity's please let us know in our Discord, i would be happy to remove this if it does nothing for you as this is some black magic that requires a daily sacrifice for it to work.
- Several small fixes in the level design all around the worlds.
- Updated the Patreon List
- updated Glassy planes and Prime Comes to life music tracks

5.07
Added some waiting time to the start popup to prevent being stuck in the vaul 111 elevator.
updated 13 Tracks of music as well the pyramid head hell track.

5.06

- Adding numerous new background and score music tracks to convert normal events of Fallout even more to a Silent hill vibe.
- Fixed alot of small bugs and typos and made it easier to find the notes in the hospital as well.
It still might happen that pyramidhead walks outside of his room in the alchemilla hell.
I still have no clue what could cause this as it is so strangley random and just happens for a bunch full of people.

5.05

This upgrade introduces the official "Episode 1" of this mod.
There is now a Quest line for you to follow with Voiced NPC and a complete new world to explore:
== The town of Whispering Hills ==
Whispering Hills is a ongoing project to rebuild the City of Centralia,PA - that very city inspiring the Silent Hill Movie.
Laser scanning data was acquired to rebuild the ground map and roads.
Episode 1 Introduces you to a small part of the town with the rebuild Midwitch Elementary School from Silent Hill 1
as well as a new Hell dimension and new Enemy.

Changelog beside this huge update:
- Added tons of more SFX and Music replacing and adding the Vanilla Music - thanks to JackTheRipper
- Overhauled the Nursed from ground up. They are not 100% Perfect yet but we get there.

- made savegames available in Hell dimensions.
- Moved the Hell entrance away from Parson states Asylum to a new location witch you discover following the quest line.

Important for Upgrading:
It should be fine to upgrade from a older version in general. But if you have not been to Hell yet
then a clean savegame is always the best solution.

3.60
Added new monsters:
- The Eyeless Gnasher:
A monster, once human, being deformed and mutated by the radiation. Cancer and cysts developing and opening cosntant over the body as it is traped in a never ending painfull cycle of regeneration and bleeding. They are the survivors of the first fallout years after the bombs fell. A mysterious being has outfitted these abominations with butcher hooks in order for them to properly tear their victims apart, thus making them not only terrifying, but just as dangerous as normal ghouls, if not worse.
He replaces most of the randowm spawn ferral ghouls wich was beforehand replaced with jsut nurses. So nurses and mumblers are back where they balong - into shools and hospitals!

- The Corpselicker
This long skulled creeper uses his long tongue to dig into graves and lick the rotting flesh of the corpses. It then digs them out and feeds from the bones. You can encounter it on the graveyars trhough the commonwealth. It much prefers fresh flesh, so try not to come too close

Fixes:
- Reenabled the super mutant boss in metford memorial Hospital for quest reasons.
- added mannequins to the hell dimension

3.52

-Fixed a bug that prevents the Otherworld from happening
- retweaked health and base health values from wendigo and wormhead monsters

- Overhauled all of the background music.
Whispering Hills contains now over several hours of music for Background and effects.
All Exploring and Fight music has been overhauled as well as i added alot of region specific music. You will see what i mean whenyou go to diamond city or sanctuary hills ;)
- Added following new monsters:
+The Missionary - a Huge spike armed monster you can encounter in all churches
+The Regenerator - The original one from Resident Evil 4! He regenerates his health really quick - Encounterable in Vault 114 overseers office
+The Wendigo - a huge deathclaw like monster form the myths. You can encounter him in dense forrest areas.
+The Wormhead - a abdomation of dog trying to suck the guts out of you
+The Mannequin - All the Male mannequins are now abdominated and ..some of them alive.. but wich?
+The Demogorgon- Skinned and his face sawn together he seeks for revenge - a young verison is encounterable in the otherworld event. Hard one in the Dunwich ruins.

General Changes:
Alot of bugfixing here and there. honestley i never noted them down but i think maybe you can experience some surprises still ;)

3.02

This update adds new Snowy radstorms to the Glowing sea.
It as well fixes a old bug where the Glowing Sea weathers where prevented to kick in as well as the deadly radiation. So the Glowing sea is back to normal hopefully now.

Compatibility with VR and older Fallout 4 Versions has been restored with this version too.

I replaced now most of the Vanilla weathers with Foggy ones so you won't end up in your old sunshine weather when you enable this mod from a previous save.

3.01
New:
This update Adds a new option to the holotape for Performance.You can choose between FPS+ for reducing the LOD and FPS++ for reducing the Item fadein distance.This will only work for the actual Game you are in and wont be saved so you need to apply it once you reload a savegame. (Only usefull for Xbox users as PC users can do this ingame in the preferences)
Fixed:
CBBE stuff should be back to normal again as the modding tools decided to include some Vanilla Assets.
You can find the latest update as usual on Moddb and ingame.

Version 3.00
Update notice: Please make a clean save before updating (make a savegame without Whispering hills and update)

New:
Pyramid Head
------------
I worked very long on this but now PyramidHead is part of this Universe.
He is a very strong entity with custom Animations and you won't encounter him on the normal Gameplay. For him to appear
you need to go to a new location:

The first Hell
--------------
This is a new Interior Location i build from ground up. You will find the access
tunnel on the Parson State Asylum Basement. (console command: coc Parsonsstate03) Before entering the Hell put your belongings in
the Green Chest of Redemption on the entrance. The game will do so too when you enter Hell
so you know where to grab your stuff when heading back out.
The Hell dimension itself represents the main Actors fear and worrys for his lost son Shaun.
Your VATS and Savegame capabilities will be Disabled in the Hell. There is a bug where the game might
still save when lookign at your pipboy but discard those savegames as they are not ment ot be stable.
You will need to grab something at the end of the Hell in order for Pyramid Head to be enabled in the Game.
IF you make it out alive with that Item you will now have a 15% chance to encounter the:

Pyramid Head Otherworld (console command:"sw XX05AA86" where XX is your Mod ID in your load order)
-----------------------
This otherworld sets in now and then and makes Pyramid Head hunt you down with his Sword and Roaches.
He will act as a follower so he WILL follow you into Interiors too. The best thing is to run and keep moving till its over or
drain him that much that he is teleported away and drops his Knive.
You can only disbale this Otherworld happening by putting back the item of the first Hell where it belongs to.
If you manage to kill Pyramidhead you will gain his Sword.

Additional Addons and changes:
- Replaced all ambush ferral ghouls of the Commonwealth, Nukaworld and Far Harbour with Silent Hill enemys.
- Added Sirenhead to Far Harbour
- Added a special Sirenhead to Nuka World playing the themesong.
- Added Robbie the Rabbit as Enemy in Nuka World and the first Hell

2. Made Sirenhead more stronger and added more Health
3. lowered the lyingfigures difficulty a little bit

2.51
- VRFix - VR users shoulc be able to use it again
- Added a special someone in the asylum floor.

2.50
-This release introduces the Lying Figures that will spit acid on you. They are scattered all around the commonwealth especially in Concord so be aware! Speaking of concort: it is now deamon infested!
-Also in this release i made some fundamental changes to Sirenhead. He is not anymore flying right at you when you attack him. Instead he will spawn creatures of hell that attack you including new cockroaches and others. He will still attack you as you have about 20 seconds time to retreat. So be carefull! The area where he lives is lightly radiated now too giving you a hint when you get too close to him. Despite that i made him less common now in the commonwealth.
- new Silent hill UI sounds where added for selecting stuff in the menus and for experience gain and level up.
- some esp cleanups and smaller fog enhancements had been done too.
- fixed that you couldnt attack mumblers in VATS
- hopefully fixed the dissapearing nurses when they get all burned or covered with something.

2.40
This is a rather huge update introducing the Mumblers that attack you with their sharp
claws as well the Otherworld now starts to move into the Fog world.
That means that different buildings started to be populated by Monsters.
In particular following Buildings have been stripped off raiders and ghouls
mostly and being populated with:
The nurses: Kendall Hospital, Mass Bay Medical Center and the Medford Memorial Hospital.
Mumblers (wich once where children):South Boston High School, Suffolk County charter school, East Boston Preparatory School, D.B. Technical High School and Malden Middle School
I also added a special surprise in the Parsons State Insane Asylum.
In addition i also added Silent hill 1, 2 and 3 background music to the Hospitals as well to the Shools

2.31
- fixed a bug that prevented the settings for otherworld chances to appear to apply from the holotape.
- Added a installer for Vortex or Mord Organizer 2 users
- Added a optional plugin to just have silent hill music played as background music and not silenthill + spooky vanilla music

2.30
Added new options to the Holotape to force different Fog Weathers
Added a optional esp "Whispering Hills - Lower fog density" that cuts all fog density to half (load after Main mod).
Tweaked the Otherworld weather for a much smoother fade in and fade out
added missing files to the archives that hopefully fixes some Holotape functions
added background music from vanilla fallout 4 that fits rather well so the music does not sound as repetive

2.24
Emergency fix: The modding tools internally renamed all FormNumbers resulting in possible crashes and instability or not working functions! Please update.

2.23
fixed all fog weathers with refined fog values
Fallout4VR compatibility

2.22
Sirenhead tweaks: More health and Damage, No more attacking other sirenheads and otherworld creatures, lowered the occurences to actually meet him by half making him not so common.

2.21
fixed that sirenhead could pick up any weapon
enhanced the portal effect

2.20
Added a new Monster on Daytime: Sirenhead. This little fella roams the commonwealths forests and outskirts. He is usually not agressive untill you decide to come too close or attack him..then Hell breaks loose! I also fixed a particlebug with the otherworld weather and small minor bug fixes here and there.

It Overhauls all background explore sounds of the Commonwealth and replaces them with Spooky and creepy ones from Silent Hill.
It also overhauls Combat Music and adds 10 Fog Weathers for you to constantly experience by now. Say good bye to Sunshine!
