[ UPDATES ]


SE 1.3: Added a CBBE nude & non-nude version w/ Mature Skin Textures.
SE 1.2: Carried forward more changes from the updated USSEP.
SE 1.1: Updated version that should fix crashing issue. Also added a file that does not require USSEP.
SE 1.0: Improved Bards released for Special Edition!



[ DESCRIPTION ]


Improved Bards is a standalone replacer for bards around Skyrim. It also adds a new bard to Riften.

Bards changed include:

    Delacourt (Falkreath)
    Karita (Dawnstar)
    Lisette (Solitude)
    Lurbuk (Morthal)
    Mikael (Whiterun)
    Sven (Riverwood)
    Talsgar (Wandering)
    Llewellyn (Falkreath House) HF
    Luaffyn (Windhelm)
    Ogmund (Markarth)
    Oriella (Dawnstar House) HF
    Sonir (Morthal House) HF
    Lynly (Ivarstead)
    Lurbuk (Morthal)
    and the college bards.



****PLEASE NOTE: Neck seams are visible sometimes. I noticed them when an npc was in the shadows, otherwise they were barely noticeable. I'll look into making seams blend a little more/finding a complete texture set, but from my understanding ENBs can also play a role in visibility.




[ REQUIRED / INSTALLATION ]

This has two versions! One requires USSEP and one does not. Both require Hearthfire!

Download and install USSEP (if needed).

Download this mod with your mod manager of choice and activate.

If manually installing, just download and place the files in your data folder.




[ COMPATIBILITY / LOAD ORDER ]


This mod carries forward changes made by USSEP. Specifically with Lurbuk.

This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the same npc.

Place this mod below any mod where you want my changes and overwrite where necessary.




[ RECOMMENDED MODS ]

Lastly, I mod for myself first and foremost. It's great if people like what I've done, but if you don't like the aesthetics there are always other mods out there.
