So I was having an ice cold mead at the Windpeak inn, pondering the nightmare issue that was plaguing Dawnstar. All of a sudden, the source of the nightmares hit me like a ton of bricks. It was louder and more off tune than two hormone overloaded dragons having a go at it. I quickly yanked my sword out of its sheathe and whipped around, only to find a bard doing something with her voice... I suppose it was supposed to be singing. Let it be known that I have always despised the song "Ragnar the Red", but this rendition made me want to fill my ears with spriggan sap! Her thu'um clearly had mastery and was dreadful to behold, so I immediately left the tavern. The recurring nightmare was clearly due to the trauma caused by repeated eardrum perforation. You have done the people of Dawnstar a great service my good man/woman.
Ok I found a work-around. Use AFT and make the Bard your follower, then have his ass follow you out of the tavern. Then just make him wait outside and your music should work in the bardless tavern.
Is is possible to silence the bards and still have music propagation play your added tracks in taverns? The Bards silence your tracks, and this mod silences everything.
I cannot thank you enough for this. You just made my Skyrim experience 1000% better. I'll never understand how Bethesda could not afford singers who could stay on key. The songwriting is sub-par as well, but probably any song would get on my nerves after the 500th time in a row. Again, thank you. Really, I'm grateful. Like I said, thanks. No, really, thank you.
how does it work? does it stop the sung/intrumental files from loading, or are they replaced with silence files? Id love this mod - but, Im looking for something that completely guts the bard mechanics; as I use "The Dragonborn Comes by Malukah Tavern replacer" which gets gets cut-off and silcened whenever the bard will start to sing or play an instrument =/

I suffer from earworms, and those bards were seriously wrecking my mental state.
Great stuff!
That's been done, search for FSS and you should be able to find two mods that address it.
