Become a Bard SE by Pevey
- Original SE port before SKSE was available so It does not have MCM
Become a Bard (MCM Restored)
- SE port of the original LE. No support offered, comment closed
Bards Reborn Student of Song Become a Bard Expansion with Bard Spells
- SE port of the original LE with additional features for Bards College, quests, spells, and NPC dialogue
Become a Bard Ported For SE (which is this one)
- SE port of the original LE. Comment open.
EDIT: I have a downgraded version of AE that acts like SE, but with the creation club content. I also have no mods that are dependent on Become a Bard LE
Empty ESL and ESP
Name the ESL BecomeABard.esp. Poof-done. I do this with mods like Keep it Clean. There are mods that require it but I don't want it, so I use an empty ESL to fulfill the requirement.
I closed comments on my MCM Restored port because people were asking for changes to the original mod and acting entitled. My only intention was to faithfully port ver 5.0 as Pevey built it and restore the MCM. I did that. There was nothing more to say at that point. There was no "helping" each other. The comments devolved into bickering (as they always seem to) and name calling and to end it I shut them down. This is why we can't have nice things from some of our favorite previous mod-authors. They get burnt on the entitlement and the endless whining.
As for the other new version Bards Reborn- I think that mod looks great. It builds on to Pevey's work with a fresh direction. Haven't tried it as the original is what I wanted.
Anyway there's the explanation of why comments are closed on my port.
Maybe I am just old and jaded. I can live with that.
Be well and Happy Modding!
I have met the toxic side of our community. I've also enjoyed the kindness and help of strangers who helped me get me out the ignorance I found myself in. There is always more that we don't know than what we know. It's no fun to have someone be a jerk. Yet it's a blessing when you meet the kind soul who had a similar problem as you did and is willing to share their solution.
Why does this story matter?
There are a ton of tutorials, like, many tons. But from a new mod user's experience, it is oversaturation if anything and trying to sus out what advice is ancient and everyone knows about so they don't even bother to bring it up, from what is outdated and now-defunct has been a learning curve equivalent to the first month of elite dangerous... with a kaioken times three... Finally, I got a good tutorial list on youtube from gamerpoets that explained a lot, but I didn't even know to look at the original mod page for problems until well after a month into the process and I figured it out just through pure luck or osmosis or some such. So while I will now always go back to the OG mod page, hearing tips on the port page is still useful if for no other reason than because I can see new workarounds for se that the OG page won't always go into. Anyway, saying all that to say, this is a mod I'm looking forward to trying, thanks for the port, the comment section here will likely be a useful resource.
I read the MCM restored SE version page and got this in regards to the Pevey port in 2016: "The original conversion by the author Pevey was before SKSE was available for SE so the MCM and the combined songbook functionality weren't available."
I just checked the LE page for this mod and see that it is at v5.0 and was updated in 2018 or in other words 2 years after Pevey's original port.
Excellent work, I'm gonna try it out!
It has the exact same "quirks" as the original. So go read that LE description."
Idk what the quirks are but the MCM says no support. Maybe Neil is different!
Don't take this one down. The MCM one says v1.01 but it does appear that you directly ported 5.0 so I'd stick with that.
