If you grew up like me, you probably had super strict parents. (I certainly did. I remember putting my arm around a girl while we were watching a movie, nothing more, and she had a talk about chastity.) The only way my mother would let my brother and I play Age of Empires was if there were no women screaming. That's how I got into modding Age of Empires, and I made this mod so my mom would allow it in the house.
This mod essentially removes almost all of the female settler screams (namely deaths and grunts if we're going to be technical) from Age of Empires III.
When you install the .zip file and extract it, you will see the new .wav files and a ReadMe file with detailed instructions. Essentially, as long as you can locate the <Sounds> folder in your game files, it is crazy simple to apply. You are basically copying and pasting files into a folder. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
