Did you know that every single female guard and soldier in Skyrim has the same voice type (Female Nord)?
Well not any more. New Female Guard introduces two original voices - Female Guard for the Stormcloaks side and Female Breton for the Imperials.
Features
Compatibility
The mod adds (by script) the new guard voice types to the following FormLists - DefaultNPCVoiceTypes, GuardVoiceTypes & VoicesCommonCombatant.
This means that any mod that uses one or more of these as a condition may need patching. otherwise you will get blank lines where the subtitles will say something but there is no audio. I've tried my best to ensure wide compatibility but it's highly possible that I've missed something.
If this is the case you have five options -
I've generated all the lines for the following mods, so if you have them installed, my guards will say the lines from these mods -
If you have my mod Inn-Tegrated NPCs - Oblivion Style Conversations then you should see some of the new guard types as off-duty guards.
I've generated the lines for my friend DSP2003's mod M.E.I. - Maven Elenwen Ingun - Followers and Spouses - Quest Expansion Plus and he has included these voice lines in the latest update for that mod, so the two new female guard voice types will work with it.
Installation
Simply install like you would any other mod using your favourite mod manager. Should be safe to install mid-game.
Patches
I've also added patches in optional files as follows;
Unisex Empire.
More to Say - City Guards - blocks my mod from the extra lines added by More to Say.
More to Say - Guard Encounters - blocks my mod from the extra lines added by More to Say.
More to Say - Merged Version - blocks my mod from the extra lines added by More to Say.
Guard Dialogue Overhaul - blocks several lines. Two patches available, one for the ESP version of GDO and one for the ESL version. Make sure you choose the correct patch for the version you have. Credit and thanks to DSP2oo3 for the GDO esl patch. Not tested with GDO Redux.
All the patches are ESL flagged.

Feel free to use the voice types in this mod for your own NPCs as long as this mod is required as a master. I've also included the 'Female Guard' voice sample in optional files if you want to clone the voice and use it for your own expansions or projects, with full permission to use the voice. If you want to generate 'Female Breton' lines then search for 'Sarcini - Snarky, Quick-witted, Unapologetic' in Eleven Labs.
FAQs / Comments
I'm not seeing any new guards.
They're included in the regular levelled lists for guards so where they spawn is entirely random, you might need to travel about a bit. Also check the section on load order.
LE version?
Yes, here.
Does it work with AE?
The mod was made with the older version of the Creation Kit so it's compatible with all versions of Skyrim SE/AE.
I'm not hearing the new lines.
Vanilla bug. Try saving and loading the game.
Can I change the distance for the guard's idle comments?
I'm not using some of the mods that you've created lines for, can I delete them?
Waaaugghh! I don't like 'AI' !!!
Don't use the mod.
I don't like the voices.

The mod is flagged as ESL so it won't take up a slot in your load order. It has been cleaned and checked for errors in xEdit.

If this is the case you have five options -
- Put up with the blank lines
- Make a patch yourself to block out the lines (instructions included in the article)
- Generate the audio for the lines yourself using a TTS service
- Kindly ask the mod author of the incompatible mod to make a patch (but don't expect them to)
- Ask me to make a patch (but I can't promise that I will do it quickly, if at all)
I've generated all the lines for the following mods, so if you have them installed, my guards will say the lines from these mods -
- Farts of Skyrim ("Here, this is for you" lines and follow up comments)
- Extended Guard Dialogue
- Guard Dialogue Overhaul - lines for both the ESP version and the ESL version are included.
- City Bag Checks
- Misc Dialogue Edits

Can I change the distance for the guard's idle comments?
Spoiler:
Yes, it's currently set to a minimum of 900 so the idle comments and 'singing' will only trigger if you're further than 900 units away. You can change this by opening the console and typing set jb1idledistance to x where x is the number you want to change it to. Making the number smaller will mean the idles trigger when you are closer to the guard. Making the number bigger will mean they trigger when you're further away. If you don't want to hear them at all, set it to something very high.

I'm not using some of the mods that you've created lines for, can I delete them?
Spoiler:
They're only a few MB each but yes, you can safely delete the folders for mods you aren't using. For example if you're not using Guard Dialogue Overhaul you can delete the Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp folder in sound/voice
