Emetophobic with problems playing with the game.

For those unaware, the phobia refers to the irrational fear of regurgitation and mostly everything related to it. Ever since I got the game (4-5 years ago?) I had friends help me remove the eating/drinking noises for a while. I'm not asking for it to be removed from a game, but how about a toggle? I don't really remember the policemen having such nasty noises, either. Neither the tourist zombies. I humbly request a toggle for squeamish people.
 
Interesting, didnt notice. But I also mod out the cop vomit.....been a while though...really cant remember.

I am not affraid, but it does make me vomit if I see someone starting the process. So, I can understand....or maybe the same thing, dunno.

Kinda like yawning, once someone does it...well.
 
Just a note that the Pimp Dreams forum is where suggestions should go. They can quickly get hidden here by all the general discussion posts.

They do plan on a lot of new options before 3.0, so maybe they'll consider that option if they see the request. I just ignore the sounds of the zombies, so I normally don't even notice, but I also don't really "like" the sound either. Heh.

I really thought it'd be the other way around! But it's not like I expect it to happen anyways.

I'm not sure how much overall difference it makes, but the oldest post on this forum is Friday and the oldest post on the Pimp Dreams forum is Tuesday, so about 2x the time frame to push something off the page (using only a single page for data, which may not be accurate overall). But I think TFP is more likely to see the suggestions there. I could be wrong. :)
 
At the risk of sounding like a meany...i don't think literally everything needs a toggle. That issue is probably not worth the development time investment.

I run D&D games as a Dungeon Master, and I had a player once ask me to not have animals in the game that attacked them, or to hunt for food. I told them that this game isn't for them. Likewise, this game isn't for you.
 
This is an interesting thread. I absolutely see the points made by each "side" here.

Unless someone comes forward with a request like this, it's impossible to know how many other people might require or desire the same thing.
As long as it's presented respectfully and without expectations, I'd say (IMO) that it's both reasonable and constructive.
I also think that we're getting a bit late in the game for many changes like this to make it in, but again, if there's suddenly a ton of interest, you never know.
Appealing for a formal mod in one of those communities might be another avenue for the this.

Harry Potter did it for spiders, but there are also a lot of people afraid of spiders apparently. Not sure how many have emetophobia, but sure it doesn't hurt to shoot your shot.
 
Not much of a modder, but I imagine it wouldn't be too complex to create a mod that changes the burbing/vomitting noises of the cops and tourist to a standard zombie sound and either mods cops out or eliminates their spewing. Not sure if it could all be done in XML or not, but I think so.
