📋 About This Mod
Once upon a time...
There was a rat named Neil who had one dream: to bang out the tunes for all to hear. Neil, a small rat with a big dream, has been an icon of barding since 2006, and this collection is in honor of our ... not-so-fuzzy friend.
Some pieces scale with level, fully explained in each piece's description.
Make sure to un-equip and re-equip to activate the stat bonuses!
The AC modifier on this armor is Charisma, not Dex!
Set includes

All for the ultimate barding experience. Fully dyeable, and made to fit all body types--though unfortunately due to toolkit limitations, there is some clipping with some bodies and also some accessories weren't available for everyone.
My very first mod, made for my friend's tiefling bard who wanted something a lil less revealing, a little less twee than typical bard gear. I hope you guys like it!
Available in the tutorial chest, or you can buy it from Dammon in act 1, the bugbear at Moonrise in act 2, or Popper in act 3. If you’ve already visited one (or more) of these merchants before you install the mod, it won’t show up in their inventory until you take a few long rests.
You shouldn't have any issue loading this mod mid-game, but never try to UNload clothing/equipment mods if they're already in your and/or a merchant's inventory.
Unfortunately I lost all of the files for this mod, so I can no longer update it. Check out Neil's Bangin' Bard Gear VOLUME 2 for more tunes!!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community approval (367 endorsements) and a hefty download count (75k) — clearly a go-to for bard fashion.
- Covers all the essentials: armor, gloves, boots, hats, cloaks, and an amulet — one stop for a full bard look.
- Recently updated (October 2024), so it's likely still compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or previews mentioned, so you can't see the style before downloading.
For bard players who want a complete outfit overhaul without hunting multiple mods. Perfect if you're roleplaying a musician and need gear that fits the vibe. Skip if you're after gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure after download — if it's a loose files mod, just drop the folder into your Data directory.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and make sure it loads after any texture overhauls to avoid conflicts.
- Since the description is sparse, look for the items in-game by searching for 'bard' in console commands or checking leveled lists.
