📋 About This Mod

So, enough things changed that I may as well just update the description page, the old descriptions are under the spoiler tag below.

Version 3. 5

1. Changes exp values of Skyrim's got talent a bit, so now you get better slightly quicker initially, but the bonus exp will fall off as you get better at whatever instrument you're playing at the time.

2. Added the ability to see your bard exp. You can check the total exp you have through the magic effect tab after being taught, or after playing an instrument. You have 180 seconds after doing either of those things to check(did this to help with magic effect tab clutter).

3. Added a new buff called "Bardic Inspiration". Basically when your character is taught how to play an instrument by a bard, this buff will activate, so you gain a bit more instrument exp for 30 in-game minutes. Not sure if this is too long or too little, let me know.

4. I locked the ability from Bards Reborn to perform at Inns, until your character either has 50 exp in an instrument. I also altered some scripts so that using the song system from Skyrim's Got Talent counts for the performance quest. You will also increase the "Bard Skill" from Bards Reborn.

5. The Song systems are now consolidated into a single power called "play instrument", provided you have a lute, flute, drum, or wanderer's lute(the wearable lute from Bards Reborn), you can use this power and play songs. It will bring up a crafting menu that has the pickable songs.

6. I changed the Skyrim's got talent messages to be in first person, rather than 3rd person.

7. I added requirements for the Bards reborn songbooks. So now you need to have a certain amount of instrument exp to play songs. An amount of 50 in the respective instrument.

8. I changed the messageboxes for the bards reborn songbooks, to make it more clear which instruments are needed for specific songs.

9. I changed some of the requirements for the exams for the Bards Reborn bards college questline from using the bard level from become a bard to the instrument levels from skyrim's got talent. I also changed some quest journal text to reflect this a bit.

10. I changed the experience bonus for Skyrim's Got Talent from the "tending the flames" quest, to the Bards Reborn study questline, so as you complete exams for instrument, you will receive bonus exp for that instrument in the future.

11. Increased the cost of learning from bards not at the bards college, from 100 gold to 250. Time will pass while they teach you. They can teach you until any of your instrument exp reaches 50.

12. Bards college students and teachers able to teach you specific instruments, time will pass while they teach you. The amount of exp gained is the same regardless of who teaches you, the upper limit will change though(teachers will generally allow you to reach 75 in an instrument).

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have both required mods installed before adding this patch, and load it after them in your mod order.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order automatically—this patch should be placed after the two mods it patches.
  • Check the mod page for any updates or compatibility notes if you're on the latest Skyrim version, since the patch hasn't been updated since 2023.
