📋 About This Mod
A mod to replace one of the shanties with a shortened/custom version of Here's a Health To The Company.
This was made for my own entertainment using audio bits from the game files and some backing vocals from the same song as sung by The Longest Johns. As I was trying things out, I also slightly "enhanced" the ingame version of Lowlands Away, using the vocals from their YT sing-along video. This is contained within this mod.
How to install:
- []backup "sounds_sfx.pck" found in "\Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag\sounddata\PC_DX11\" to a place where you can easily find it
- replace "sounds_sfx.pck" with the modded version
Note that this replaces Padstow Farewell from the shanty roster. Uninstall by simply replacing with your backup.
I claim no right or ownership to the audio files used within this mod. All rights go to their respective owners.
A compact audio mod that swaps the 'Padstow Farewell' shanty for a shortened version of 'Here's a Health To The Company'. With only 3 endorsements and 176 downloads, it's a niche pick for players who want a different sea shanty. Last updated August 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download (176 downloads) means it's lightweight and won't bloat your mod list.
- If you're tired of the default shanty, this gives you a fresh tune without overhauling the whole audio.
- Last updated August 2025, so it's recent and likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 3 endorsements — this is a very niche mod with little community validation.
- Replaces only one shanty, so if you want more variety, you'll need to look elsewhere.
For players who love sea shanties and want a quick change to the default 'Padstow Farewell'. If you're a completionist collecting audio mods or just want a different vibe while sailing, this is a simple pick. Skip if you want broader audio overhauls or gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple audio replacement, just drop the files into your mod folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure this mod loads after any other audio mods to avoid conflicts.
- Test the shanty in-game by starting a voyage or playing the shanty emote to confirm the replacement works.
