Main Files section = Larger mods, Quest Mods, Non-follower Mods, Misc Patches. Optional Files section = Follower Mod Patches Miscellaneous Files section = Player Name Patches Update Files section = Topics file for generating Player Name Patches, will always be updated for the mods patched on my page or Raptor's page that require <Alias=Player> lines to be generated. Bella voice samples for voice cloning will also be found here. Articles section = Step-by-step patch creation process, to help you create your own. You will need the voice cloning source in the Update Files section. Once you've cloned* the voice you will be able to find it in the drop down in the Voice Pack Maker tool once you've entered your API Key.*This will require a paid subscription.
Pro Tip: Sort Main Files/Optional Files -> Date Uploaded -> Descending to see the latest patches I've created.
Please do not send me any further API keys. Since I've had to recreate Bella from my own audio files it is linked to my subscription account.
This also means patch creation is at my 100% sole discretion and I reserve the right to refuse at any time. I am also reserving the right to judge your taste in mods. You have been warned.
If your request is for a mod using Sexlab, Ostim, Flowergirls, etc I will NOT create a patch for it, most likely. If it is less than 30,000 characters and you have at least a Starter subscription ($5 tier), I HIGHLY suggest using my DIY walkthrough and creating it for yourself.
I am also willing to host patches for mods that were done by other users. Please see the Articles page for step by step instructions on how to generate your own patches.
Crashing can occur when dialogue lines are very long because there is a hard limit in windows file systems to a total character length of 255 characters. This includes the file path + the file name. Under the hood, DBVO uses .fuz files named exactly the same as the lines in game.
I have seen it suggested elsewhere to sort problematic DBVO packs by file size and delete anything over XXkb, where XX is an arbitrary size someone picked and happened to achieve success. While this is one way to fix it, it is only a band-aid solution at best and leaves you with unvoiced dialogue and extremely long pauses. The proper solution is moving your Skyrim install closer to root directory.
Since most people have Skyrim installed in Program Files, DBVO only has about 80 characters to work with, which means voice lines can be, at max, 76 characters (file extension is part of the count). Moving the Skyrim directory closer to root (something like E:\Skyrim or E\Games\Skyrim) will prevent this crash from occurring outside of the most grandiose and wordy player dialogue lines.
As an example of an install path that can run SDA's patch with the longest lines included here's my own:
Spoiler:
Show
C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Sound\DBVO\voicebella\Up_to_this_point,_since_we_started_traveling_together,_you_have_been_the_best_thing_to_enter_my_life._But_nothing_has_changed!_Even_now_I_still_have_nightmares!.fuz
Total character length of the above is 246. I could even save myself 23 characters by moving my Skyrim install closer to the Games folder, 29 if I put it in C:\.
Point being if you crash on load after installing a voice pack it is because of this most likely. Either delete the longest file names, or move your Skyrim directory closer to root.
SDA 4.0.1 Silent/Missing Dialogue:
1) Any line over 160 characters in length has been removed. These will be silent in game. y, tho?) DBVO reads file names that match text selection in game and windows has a file name limit of 255 characters, which includes the file path and extension. So what?) So, if you try to load the game with a filename+filepath > 255 characters, your game will crash. I'm still crashin bruh) Sorry, I figured 160 characters was enough buffer for most filepath lengths people might have. In your case, you've got even less wiggle room than I anticipated. To fix it, please go into the SDA BELLA PATCH\Sound\DBVO\voicebella folder, sort it by filesize descending (largest files on top) and delete the largest lines one at a time until the game loads. So delete -> try to launch -> if crash, delete next line -> repeat.
2) Any line beginning with *silly* *emotes* has been removed. These will be silent in game. y, tho?) Bella will literally read the above line as "asterisk silly asterisk asterisk emotes asterisk" which is hilarious, I admit, but also sounds stupid. It could be mitigated by generating the audio, editing the .wav to remove the silly parts, and resaving it but I just don't want to take on that additional work load. If you export your own topics file, copy everything into a spreadsheet and sort the column alphabetically. Most of the lines I removed will be near the top (since they start with punctuation). You can generate those for yourself and edit as necessary, if you want. Use a program like Audacity to snip out the silliness, then save the .wav again. DO NOT change the file name.
3) Any line beginning with ... such as "...I'm gregnant" or "...dangerops prangent sex" has been removed. y, tho?) DBVO cannot correctly parse any dialogue line beginning with "..." and will play a random other sound in the directory instead. For my own install this is a short hum kind of sound. For people that installed the FOMOD from Raptor's page and selected "give me everything" during install are hearing "...think it funnier with my c*%! though" or something along those lines. That line is from one of the Sexlab voice packs, naturally. k, and?) SO, to save myself and anyone else that uses this topic file from wasting precious characters generating lines that will NEVER be heard, I've removed them. alternative?) You could edit those dialogue lines and create a patch like I've done in the past for a few mods (check my nexusmods profile) and generate dialogue based on your patch. The patch would make them start with a letter instead of ..., which may alter the mood or feeling the original mod author was attemtping to convey, so I'm not going to make that decision for everyone else since I believe it's a matter of reader/viewer preference.
Hello, thank you for your great work ,i use bella voice for a longtime allready, i am now setting up a new SSE game and want to use Evangeline cusustom voiced spellsword mod by Sein_Schatten, i could not find bella voice patch for this mod does it excist or maybe it will be there sometime soon ?
Use Bella all the time and thanks for all the work you and others have done to fleash her out. Got a problem though, nothing to do with the mod/s all is working fine, problem is "Vortex" yes I'm on the edge of going back to MO2 but just spent the last 6/8 weeks rebuilding my mod list, loaded Bella last + dozens of these patches. Problem I have is Vortex trats these patches ad seperate mods and seems to think they should go in some sort of order and each one depends on another, whereas in fact the all have only one dependecy, Bella voice installer, which has on dependency, DVBO. I have spent hours going through the mod rules on Vortex, and there ends up being thousands, only to get "there are cycles" cannot deploy! Try to sort the cycles and all I get is "mod rules need sorting" do it all again, "mod cycles" try to sort them again but now the cycles have doubled or tripled and it seems to be getting exponencially worse to the point where Vortex is just broken, I can't launch anything from within Vortex, the latest "update" from Vortex didn't help either. If you or someone reading this could kindly talk to someone at Vortex (tried but can't get through to them) and tell them to stop trying to sort these patches as mods, they all just have one dependecy and do not have to rely on other ones to opperate.
Bit of a shameless plug but if Zade doesn't mind...
Just dropping by to let whomever reads this know that you can get updated patches on my page bella voice DBVO - Patch Hub
Has been going for quite a while, and it has over 120 patches all easily installable with a FOMOD, but it looks like some people haven't noticed yet. If you did now then give it a look, you're in for quite a treat. 😽
I thought about downloading this mod, but seeing the mod author was banned is kinda sus. What happened why was the creator banned ? What rules did he broke to amount a ban here ?
Hi, it's because Kaidan is always being updated. This patch hasn't been updated in well over a year, so a lot of the commentary will be silent :( I think the author has also been banned so I don't know if it'll ever be fixed.

LOVE THIS VOICE PACK I just wish for a FOMOD install cause there is so many patches that its hard to find the ones needed. ( also i don't know NEXUS doesnt put a research bar in the files category that could be also helpful )
control f brings up the search bar for a website page. Just go to the patch page and control f for the patches you need. Most likely it will bring it up.
Oh damn thank you so much i didnt know that, i'm using a windows cloud pc ...on a mac so the keyboard shortcuts are differents. ( oh it actually works for mac too hahaha well the more you know.... cheers man)

It should be noted this list isn't a guarantee of patches I'm definitely making, just what I'm considering.
Next up:
List is subject to change without notice.
Main Files section = Larger mods, Quest Mods, Non-follower Mods, Misc Patches.
Optional Files section = Follower Mod Patches
Miscellaneous Files section = Player Name Patches
Update Files section = Topics file for generating Player Name Patches, will always be updated for the mods patched on my page or Raptor's page that require <Alias=Player> lines to be generated. Bella voice samples for voice cloning will also be found here.
Articles section = Step-by-step patch creation process, to help you create your own. You will need the voice cloning source in the Update Files section.
