I've been having the same issue a lot of people have mentioned here. That Astarion's dialogue changes work, but that's it. I've tried using different 'Big' versions, including the one for all characters. Unfortunately it didn't work. I just tried editing the base localization file, replacing all of Gale's gendered dialogue based on your edits. When I replaced the original PAK, there was still no change. Is there some other file in some location that would be overriding modded dialogue changes?? If it matters, I am using the current version of the game.
Adding this mod to my modlist completely breaks all my mods. Any ideas why? It's this mod: "Female Dialogs For Astarion Gale Halsin Minsc Wyll - FemaleAstarionDialogsBig-1-2-0-2024-09-09". Also using "Female Astarion Voice Conversion Hub (15 Unique Options)"
I am not aware of any thing like this, what do you mean by 'breaks all my mods"? Are you using Patch 7, the ones posted do not support an un-upgraded game or one rolled back to patch 6
What goes wrong if this is installed for you? This mod only affects localization files so should at worst cause text to be wrong if not using the matching version (Patch 7)
It's not really the mod's fault. It's just what happens if you try to mix patch 6 and 7 mods while running on 6. That being said, I would really love it if you could allow downloads of your older versions so we patch 6 players can enjoy your work!
Sorry I did not keep the old versions and always selected to remove them when I uploaded an update.
As I mentioned only the Big versions here would really matter, the Small ones should work fine with both Patch 6 and 7. There is a way to use only the small ones by a) extract your English.pak file e.g. \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Localization\English.pak and extract using lslib to \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Localization\English\english.loca This is functionally like having a Big version installed.
Then just add any small versions you need.
If you do not know how to do these sort of extracts I can provide a upload for the Patch 6 version of this file
Installed....FemaleGaleDialogsBig-1-2-1-2024-10-03 Patch 7 No other dialogue mods are being used
Not working
----I can't get this mod to work for the life of me, no matter where in my load order I put it. Using BIG mod for Gale. No other mod that alters game text.
It still says "You don't trust this man, draw your weapon".----
It just won't work for me, the only one it seems to work for is Astarion.
I have no mods that change in-game dialogue, and I first tried the All version, then I removed it and tried puttign in separate versions for each companion. Only Astarion seems to work!

There are limitations to mods that alter game text, to do this you need to include in your mod (or another mod) the ENTIRE game text unpacked. The big mods contain this along with edits for the character. The small ones ONLY have the edits.
So you need either - 1 big mod - 1 big mod and 1 or more small mods - another mod that alters game text in a similar way (NOT Overexplained Options anymore) and any number of small mods
The big mods are larger around 10-12Mb while the small are in the 10Kb or so range
I note once I experiment more with the official toolkit I will be able to remove this big/small dependency but not for a while

Same issue

Did you use the Big versions of the mod for the 'All' mod when you tried it, similarly for Astarion?
It still says "You don't trust this man, draw your weapon".
I have checked and the string is altered in the mod so should work and did in my last test.
Sorry my time to work on these is a bit limited due to a recent accident and recovering from injuries. I will re-test in the next few days
So you need either
- 1 big mod
- 1 big mod and 1 or more small mods
