📋 About This Mod
Are you a user of mods that add villages, towns and settlements? Has it ever bothered you that NPCs mostly don't acknowledge the existence of these mods? Well, be bothered no longer! This mod adds new voiced dialogue for guards in nearby locations and NPCs within the actual location for 35 mod-added places from a variety of talented mod authors.
Brief Overview of the Mod
-
[]Supports 35 new towns, villages and settlements with automatic detection of which ones you have installed
[
]Highly compatible with other mods[]Optional add-on for compatibility with New Female Guard Voices
[]Covers 35 vanilla voice types
The Mod in More Detail
The mod will automatically detect if you have any of the supported mods installed when you load the game. For any mod detected, guards in nearby locations will make comments and/or give you directions to the places added by the mod(s). Also, guards and other NPCs in the new location will make comments, either specific to the place or more generic to the type (village, town or settlement) or the location (for instance if it's cold, or by a lake). Some NPCs have special comments if two mods with similar names are installed, for example Granitehall and Granite Hill.
If you use my other mod New Female Guard Voices, there is an add-on for this in optional files which gives all the guard lines from this mod to the new guards.

Installation
Install like any other mod using your favourite mod manager. It is safe to install mid-game. Uninstalling mid-game is probably safe but I can't guarantee that.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything.
Configuration
There is a random chance set on the dialogue which by default is 90 percent. You can change this in the console by typing set jb1townrandom to x - where x is a numb

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (266 endorsements) and well-downloaded (9,689 downloads).
- ESL flagged means it's load-order friendly, no plugin limit worries.
- Fills a real gap: NPCs in modded towns often have generic dialogue, this adds flavor.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers 35 locations, so if your modded town isn't on the list, you're out of luck.
- Dialogue additions are limited to NPCs in those specific towns; no new quests or gameplay.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same NPCs or dialogue, though ESL flag helps.
For Skyrim players who use modded settlements and want NPCs to feel more alive with location-specific dialogue. Skip if you're not into immersion tweaks or if your modded towns aren't covered.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's description or comments to see if your specific modded towns are covered before installing.
- Since it's ESL flagged, you can safely add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable; no manual placement needed.
