SimlishTTS

SimlishTTS is a text-to-speech mod for R.E.P.O. that converts all spoken English text into Simlish — the quirky, nonsense language from The Sims. It works in both singleplayer and multiplayer, and only players with the mod installed will hear the Simlish translation.

What It Does

• Automatically translates all spoken English text into Simlish
• Over 153 hand-picked Simlish words mapped from real English vocabulary
• Randomly adds fun Simlish exclamations and voice effects
• Detects if text is already Simlish to avoid repeated conversion
• Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer
• Only affects players who have the mod installed

How It Works

• Hooks into Strobotnik.Klattersynth.Speech methods using Harmony patches
• Intercepts speech calls that use StringBuilder and plain strings
• Replaces English words with Simlish dictionary entries or generates gibberish syllables for unknown words
• Adds randomized exclamations and voice effects to spice up speech
• Ensures multiplayer speech syncing without conflicts

Compatibility

• Fully functional in singleplayer and multiplayer
• Compatible with most other mods
• Only players with SimlishTTS installed see/hear Simlish speech
• No gameplay or performance impact

Technical

• Uses Harmony to patch multiple overloads of Speech.speak and related methods
• Maintains a dictionary mapping English words to Simlish equivalents
• Uses regex and randomized syllable generation for unknown words
• Includes detailed debug logging for troubleshooting
