📋 About This Mod
This is a simple plugin that allows you to play a lute. The lute model, is set as a weapon, so that it can be held, as if the character is playing. It has scripts attached, that will add different lute models to your inventory, when it's picked up. They don't weigh anything. The "anchor" lute holds all the weight. It's just to simulate the PC holding the lute in various ways, including strapped to your back.
When the "anchor" lute is equipped, the sheet music can be equipped, that will play lute tracks. The lute pieces are played, professionally, by Thomas Berghan, and were downloaded as free resources, but they could be replaced by any custom music. Just use the same name and replace them. The sheet music is actually set up, as gloves. I did this, so that the player could use quick-keys, to instantly start the lute track of their choice, as long as the anchor lute is equipped.
The lute and sheet music can be purchased from a vendor in the Arena. He's not there 24/7 so you'll have to do a little searching, and maybe a little waiting.
Complete Lute is a simple Oblivion plugin that adds a playable lute weapon, allowing your character to hold it as if playing. With 93 endorsements and last updated in 2008, it's a niche cosmetic item for roleplayers seeking musical flair.
