For some reason, in every version of TS I used, some of Sime's soundfiles won't play, especially the ones on her character. Things like Acknowledgement and Select won't play, though the text appears in the message window. What could be causing this?

And yes, I use SoA+ToB, fully patched and baldurdashed, no other mods but TS.

Thanks for this report Moongaze. I found that there are missprintings in installation file Setup-TS.TP2. All the sounds with the number greater than 09 has the extra 0 which is reduntant:

SAY BIO ~This vivacious blonde talks and acts as if the world is one big fare and she does not intend to miss anything. Sime laughs easily, can dance a night away and she sings a song about a great battle of old with equal enthusiasm as a one about love. Through this bravado you can hear a gentler voice, the true voice of Sime Linvail. After a while you learn that she is a daughter of Athkatla’s Shadow Master. Sime Linvail visits Athkatla once in a while to meet with her father. These meetings however always end up in an argument over Aran’s dealings and Sime flees the city vowing never to come back.~

Obviously it should be fixed in the next release. However if you wish you may do this yourself, just open your saved game in NI, choose Sime, and in her .CRE files replace the corresponding strings with wrong sound names with those where you add the correct (existing) sounds. For example you'd like to edit the string BATTLE_CRY2, which is ~Look out, here I come!~ [CSIME010] by changing the assossiated sound to [CSIME10]. Alternatively, and it may be faster, is just to rename all the CSIMEXX.WAV files in your override to CSIME0XX.WAV. So you won't need to edit your dialog.tlk then.

By the way, is it possible to "mute" Sime? No offense against you or the person who provided the soundfiles, but my ears start bleeding when she's talking (I just dont like the voice) :X
