Bards College Tweaks by Tcz
2018-2021
Note this list is made from memory, from a mod I originally made in 2018! Some tweaks may be forgotten.
There will be small variations between the different style versions.

__Ground Floor__

-Teacher Bedrooms: a light touch was used as these are not rooms the player spends much time in, but to give the rooms small upgrades.
Viarmo, headmaster: his room has a few extra decorations reflecting his head position: some rich drapery, a couple wall hangings, a nice rug. He only uses this rooms to sleep, so no idles markers added.
Pantea Ateia, teacher: her room has a flute playing idle marker only she uses.
Decorations: a couple wall hangings, a rug, plant in her vase planter, some scrolls to fill empty spot.
Her chair at the table is now owned so that visitors only use the extra chair.
Inge Six Fingers, teacher: lute playing idle marker only she uses.
Decorations: a couple wall hangings and a rug added.
Her chair is now owned so that visitors only use the extra chair. The shelves next to her chair are replaced by a desk. Moved the books from those old shelves to her other shelves. Her room was always messy due to things falling off shelves, cleaned this up a little.
Giraud Gemane, teacher: this historian has reading and writing idles in his bedroom. Some scrolls on an empty shelf. His coffee table has been replaced by a small desk. His chair is now owned so that visitors only use the extra chair.

-Entranceway: visitors to the college need to be impressed, and so the entrance is decorated with artifacts the college has acquired new and old.
Decorations: There are also more plants in planters, wall ivy, wall art, rugs, a shrine and miniature doomstone.

-Library: a few chairs have been upgraded for reading comfort.
Decorations: Rugs have been added to soften the hard floors, plants and ivy near windows, some statues and pottery on the shelves on display.
Depending on style version, may have filled wet bar area including Spiced Wine the college is known to buy.
Bendt the cook's idle can wander upstairs to pretend he tends the bar sometimes, now he can be seen actually tending this area by sweeping (depends on if using USLEEP or Multiple Floors Sandboxing).

-NEW: extra bedroom near the stairs. Built from scratch.
Can be used as a player room, follower room, additional NPC room, or just a visitors room.
Has a bed, desk and chair, storage, and lute, flute, and drum.
Note the storage box on the desk has a key to the tower.

__Stairways__
Decorations: extra plants and planters, rugs, wall decorations.


__Top Floor__

-New: craft room (depending on style version). Built from scratch.
Has alchemy and enchant craft stations, storage to put ingredients, some light decoration.
*Note differences in the Vanilla Style and MoreArt style as I struggled with window and ceiling alignments and so Vanilla has no windows.

-New: tower entrance
(depending on style version). Built from scratch.
Use the bard tower key (found in the new extra bedroom downstairs) or just pick the novice lock and climb up to the tower.

-New: Tower room
(depending on style version). Built from scratch.
A room for the player, fancier than the new bedroom on the ground floor, and bigger to accommodate your follower/spouse or just a person of greater esteem like yourself, the Dovahkiin. Roleplay it how you want, or just ignore it.
Has a double bed, storage, desk and seating.
Instruments may or may not be static (decoration only).
This room has upgraded accessories, like gold candlesticks.

-Lecture rooms and upper hallways:

More instruments found in the lecture rooms (lutes, horns/warhorns, more depending on style version).
Display case showing a special lute.
Decorations: rugs, plants, wall art.

-Storage room
(depending on style version):
This room has a table and mirror. Because performers sometimes spruce themselves up or costume.
I chose not to make it interactive, as that require a script.

__Basement__

-Kitchen: added a cooking pot, respawning rubbish basket.
Bendt the cook now has a cooking pot to stir and sweeping idle markers only he uses.
Upgraded the common shelves to upper quality shelves. Added a chair just for the chef next to cooking pot.
Depending on style version: finer dining area--more food, less food stealing, improved dining ware and static plates so that clutter isn't havoked everywhere.
Decorations: rugs, wall art.

Student's Quarters:

Decorations: rugs both worn and nice, hanging pelts more common to fight the chill, wall art.
Some idle markers; students may play an instrument in the common room, Jorn has a drum playing idle near his bed now.
Depending on style version, there may be a wall shelf next to Ataf and Jorn with a lute for Ataf and drum for Jorn.
