📋 About This Mod
Improved Bards always had some of the best looking bard replacers but was never ported to SE properly. Now the time has come for it to be reborn!
Changed from original:
1. Bards now use your own skin textures and bodies
2. ESPFE (doesn't count as plugin slot)
3. Moved new bard from the Bee and Barb to the Braidwood Inn in Kynesgrove just to reduce some overcrowding. This reduces clashing between popular bard mods like Immersive Wenches and Interesting NPCS.
4. Optimised meshes and textures for SSE
5. Talsgar and Lurbuk now have high poly hair
6. No USSEP dependency
Improved Bards - Reborn is a Skyrim Special Edition mod that optimizes and revamps the original Improved Bards mod, enhancing bard NPCs. With 274 endorsements and over 81,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking improved bard performances and interactions.
