There is a known conflict with the mod Immersive Wenches. You will not be able to get the quest to perform at taverns. Either load this mod after Immersive Wenches, or just do without playing at inns for money and free room. (Or create a patch. If you do, please let me know, and I will link to it from the description.)
There is a known conflict with any mod that modifies Viarmo. This can include NPC overhauls, Bard college overhauls, etc. You will not get his special dialogue or the ability to purchase songbooks. Either load this mod after the conflicting mod(s), or play BaB without those features. (Or create a patch. If you do, please let me know, and I will link to it from the description.)
If you have questions, you might want to check the Discussion forums on the Steam page for the mod (just above the Comments section). You don't have to use the Steam version of the game to view those forums.
For example, there is an extensive thread there on users helping other users set up the custom songbook.
Do we put the custom songs in "Data\Sound" or "Data\Sound\FX\Mus\Bard\Custom" and do we name them "#.xwm" or "Custom0#.xwm"? The MCM and the description page say different things. I am also assuming that the .xwm is the file extension and not part of the name. It would be weird if it were 1.xwm.xwm or Custom01.xwm.xwm.
I cannot get the custom songbook to work no matter what. I am currently trying all of the possible combinations, but I would like to know which one is correct so that I have a starting point for diagnosing my problem.
I do know that you have to read the songbook from Viarmo and have the custom songbook enabled in the MCM.
Nevermind... It is working now, for a reason that is beyond me. I'm going to leave this up since the MCM and the description page do say different things. It should be in Data\Sound, and be named 1.xwm, 2.xwm etc.
Edit: It is now a few weeks later. For literally no reason at all this advice stopped working for me and now the other naming and file path is what works. So... I don't know. If you have issues do both?
1. What does "courting" do exactly? It says it influences my relationship rank with people but what does that mean? If it's just from 0 Acquaintance to 1 Friend and stops there then that's cool. But if it just keeps making it go up to 2 Confidant and 3 Ally then that would be a problem and there's nothing that tells me it won't do that. Currently, I'm leaving it turned off just in case.
2. Is it possible to set my character's voicetype for the standard Songs of Skyrim? There are several bards with different voices right? But I don't see an option.
Hi, thanks, but I meant that my flute is about a mile from my mouth. I don't think the flute animation fix will work though because I use Racial Body Morphs and I'm way smaller than normal anyway. That might help someone else though! Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much, nice of you to suggest this, but I just got through saying that the flute animation fix won't work because my character is a much smaller Bosmer. There would need to be a version that works with Racial Body Morphs. I do recommendation the fix for anyone not altering their character's size though!
You need this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/51645 There's also a patch for Skyrim's Got Talent located here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/51740?tab=description
You then have to play yourself. The mod gives you the special ability “Play Lute” etc. in your inventory. Then mark it like a force and activate it with “X”, for example. Then you choose a piece, it is played, then there is a little applause - and only then can you go to the innkeeper and demand your money.
Looking forward to getting stuck in with a new alternate start where I can begin as a traveling Bard that eventually gets dragged into Dragon business. >:)
Will there be any problems if I use it with Ordinator? (it has skill perks that involve instruments). Will a patch be necessary for this mod and Ordinator to work?
it is related to the way a char both player and npc will random stop playing if that happens the tick needed to complete the play in any inn will break as it is tied to the length of the song being played for example i have a custom one that is exactly 120secs long and if the game does anything to end the playing of it before it reaches the end of its full time the quest auto fails or wont trigger if this keeps happening to you get the mod that has npcs not auto talk to your char and if using followers as other bards playing with you use one of the follower mods that allows you to turn off them auto relaxing as this is forced triggered after them being idle for more than 20 secs when indoors and it can cause them to force you out of playing when they try to talk to you
Is a fix possible for this issue? I just got this mod (as well as the reborn, and skyrim talent mods) and I spent so long trying to figure out what i was doing wrong since i couldnt complete the quest to play in x inn
So I have this issue with the self taught songs. Doesn't seem to be anything disrupting me, just that perhaps those songs aren't long enough. Are there longer versions?
I just updated my game to the anniversary edition and there isn't an option at inkeepers anymore to perform in inns. Is there an update or patch for this?
resort your load order this has been moved by the added items and needs to be sorted again to ensure it is able to load when it needs to also depending on if you set it up right you may not be able to due to not having done the going to bards collage to get the books and record book to allow it this mod is keyed to look for those before allowing you to play one way to get around this is with the mcm addon for this and set it all up as you having everything needed at the start of your time playing this forces the game to give you the needed items and thus will fix the issues related to your char not being allowed to play for the tavern
