# Fix 2014 Classic Character Movement Sounds Not Working in Bloxstrap

Step-by-step fix if 2014 Classic Character Movement Sounds fails to load or gets overwritten in Roblox on Windows.

## Facts (2026-10-17)

- **Target Mod:** 2014 Classic Character Movement Sounds
- **Menu Toggle:** Mods → Simulate old character sounds
- **Asset Target:** content/sounds/action_*.mp3

## Why 2014 Classic Character Movement Sounds stops applying

If [2014 Classic Character Movement Sounds](https://bloxstraplabs.ink/mods/old-character-sounds) does not appear in-game, either Roblox is still running in the background while you saved settings, or a conflicting file inside `%LocalAppData%\Bloxstrap\Modifications` is overriding `content/sounds/action_*.mp3`.

Close `RobloxPlayerBeta.exe` completely in Task Manager before clicking **Save** in Bloxstrap Settings so the bootstrapper can write the file on the next launch.

## 3-step repair checklist

1. Open **Bloxstrap Menu** → **Mods → Simulate old character sounds**, toggle the option off and back on, and click **Save**.
2. Check [Open Mods Folder](https://bloxstraplabs.ink/mods/custom-content-mod-folder) to verify no corrupted 0-byte file sits at the same relative path.
3. Ensure you are launching Roblox through Bloxstrap (or update your install from [/download](https://bloxstraplabs.ink/download)) rather than the Microsoft Store app.

## FAQ

### Why did my mod disappear when I launched from the browser?

If the official Roblox updater overwrote your protocol handler, launch **Bloxstrap Menu** once and click Save so Bloxstrap re-registers `roblox-player://`.

### Does Bloxstrap need administrator rights to apply this mod?

No. Both Bloxstrap and Roblox live inside your user `%LocalAppData%` directory, which is writable by standard Windows accounts.
