Introduction
This mod adds more voice variety to Skyrim by adding 11 new voicetypes spread across 109 NPCs. A lot of NPCs in Skyrim share the same voice, and you would sometimes bump into someone having the exact same voice as the person you've spoken to a second ago. This mod helps reduce that repetition by ensuring that, in each town or city, when two NPCs share the same voice, one of them now has a new voicetype. At the moment, this only applies to male NPCs.

Compatibility
I have provided a Skypatcher version to ensure that any mod affecting NPCs, such as NPC replacers, AI overhauls, Loot modifications, etc. won't have any issues with my mod.
Mods that add or edit voicelines are not compatible and need to be patched first. I have provided patches for the following mods:

If you experience any issues with voicelines not being spoken, first make sure you don't have any mods enabled that edits voicelines.
Disclaimer: All voices in this mod were generated through AI. Obviously it's not perfect but I've tried my best to make sure the voicelines are up to par. The mod contains over 34,000 files, so there might be a few lines that don’t sound that great. However, I did go through most of what I would consider ‘problem lines', and made sure they came out okay. If you notice any egregious voice lines, please let me know.
