    5.0 is now up. This version switches the mod to uses the new SE MCM Become a Bard as a master. Pevey's new update provides a great and
    stable SE format. You should install on a new save as the globals of the bard skill are changed and won't carry over. This update was done carefully so that the bard books were changed over without changing their positions or ids in the college to keep patches functional so your patches for the college cells should all still be good to go.

    Frequently Asked Questions: View the Article.

    Due to feedback, the AIO patch 3.4 now includes all 9 original NPCs at the college. Although AIO does not touch all the NPC directly, this was made so modders can patch with NPC appearance overhauls easier. Galishai is providing a patch for users of high poly heads and Pandorable's appearance overhaul.

    Some new patches and options released for version 3.3.
    *Updated patches for AIO and USSEP.
    *Updated patch for Snazzy SFCO v2.1.2.
    *New patch for Keep it Clean to utilize new bathing room.
    *Updated Undeath Patch.
    *Mrf provides their own texture patch updated to Bards Reborn 3.3.
    *Galishai provides their own patch for NPC appearance for Bards Reborn 3.3.
    *Tcz provides their own NPC patch for outfit clothing replacer.
    *Updated ELFx patch. Remember to pay attention to mod load order.
    *Note: ELFx patch continues to be the one patch that is a plugin, not ESL. I was asked before if you can convert to ESL, the answer is yes but the file may be updated again later. It may be too tricky for you to remember to do your conversions with each update.
    *Reminder: RLO patch has a fix for RLO caused seams around stairways. I contacted RLO creator and he said he no longer works on the mod. One patch has the fix for RLO caused seams, but might not apply a Solitude retexture of stairway. No one has reported such a case, but if it happens to you, use the earlier RLO patch and live with the small seams.

    Looks like it needs a patch for Pilgrim. The Shrine of Jephre in the Bard's College is on the same table as one of the displayed instruments. Is there a patch I missed somewhere?

    I'm trying to find the mod that replaces the animation of playing the flute and other instruments so they aren't floating four inches away from your mouth. Anyone?

      It's in the file archive. Don't know why. Assume it still works?

    I had not seen it mentioned anywhere, but there is a trap door next to the student dorms on the bottom level that requires a key to open, and for the life of me I cannot seem to find it. I completed the quest line, burned King Olaf, and found all instruments. I have talked to Viarmo to see if he sells it, and looked all over, but its nowhere to be found. Does anyone have an idea of where the key to this bard basement might be?

    Trying the new version on a new character (though I have to use the older version Become a Bard, which works for me).  I noticed when first entering Viarmo automatically starts a conversation and the only option is the vanilla dialog to start Tending the Flames.  If exit the conversation and then speak to him again I get the dialog options added by the mod (plus the vanilla option).  It could be a conflict on my end but I recall in the previous version that the vanilla option was made unavailable.

    Also I should note the patch bundled with JK's Bards College doesn't seem to work on the new version and causes CTDs.

      I also get an instant CTD when trying to create a new character using the new version along with the JK's Bards College Patch. I can add it in to a pre-existing save after character creation, but that just delays the CTD.

      With the JK's Bards patch, I noticed when running the FOMOD for the Guild Headquarters patch that the Bards Reborn patch wasn't auto selecting as well.  I think there are enough changes between the two versions that existing patch doesn't work.

      Thank you for letting me know. I've update the information page to reflect that for users.

      Found the issue with Viarmo.  Looks like Jayserpa's mod "The Gift of Saturalia' alters Viarmo's introduction line as well which causes the vanilla dialog to appear.  Once I remove The Gift of Saturalia the dialog tree works as intended.  A patch will be required.

      Thank you so much for figuring this out. Saved me after a couple of days of hairpulling. I haven't tested thoroughly, but it could be worth keeping an eye on the Lux - JK - Bards Reborn patch and the JK - Bards Reborn - Undeath patches as well for others experiencing CTDs, in case there are version conflicts there as well.

      Just letting you know, I tested the patch for JK's Bards and this mod and I didn't experience any CTDs. The patch isn't automatically selected in the fomod, but I used it anyways. I checked out the patch in xedit and there were no errors reported. Everything seemed fine in game!

      I'm... not sure how you managed that, you sure you had the esp active? Any other mods altering the Bard's College? Definitely getting instant CTD on character creation. Also opened up XEdit and there are a TON of navmesh conflicts. Scope of the mod definitely changed enough that the patch is no longer functional.

      I too CTD on character creation with JKs bard college overhaul + patch and this mod. Took me ages to figure out the cause because the crash on game start may happen immediately or after up to 2 minutes, depending on when the mod was initialized. I hence disabled jks overhaul. After some more trial and error, I reinstalled JKs patches ensuring that the Bards patch was active, while also deleting the standalone jks bards college patch, which may be outdated, as JK recently updated his patchhub. Hope that helps somebody.

    Viarmo isn't selling anything. Any clue what it could be?

    Hi I cannot find the 'Spellsong of the Alchemist' anymore at the scriptorium. Anyone know of the cause of this issue, and/or a workaround?

    I added the spell via console and now it is an illusion spell?

    Also, the latest update seems to have broken compatibility with Pevey's 'Become a Bard' mod. The misc quest to play at a tavern given by the inn keeper doesn't register as a complete after playing.

    Does anyone know a console command or something to force quest completion? I love this mod, but having to do the whole song and dance for the exams for EVERY instrument is a little overkill for me.

      There's literally a debug file in the Downloads section that gives you the ability to skip through stages of the study quests. It's been there the whole time.

    Most boring mod ever. Very Immersive. 10/10 would endorse again. Now I have to get back to studying for my next exam because Skyrim has those now. I thought I was free of those when I graduated university. But no. I chose to add them to escapist video game. And I have no regrets.
