There is a known conflict with the mod Immersive Wenches. You will not be able to get the quest to perform at taverns. Either load this mod after Immersive Wenches, or just do without playing at inns for money and free room. (Or create a patch. If you do, please let me know, and I will link to it from the description.)
There is a known conflict with any mod that modifies Viarmo. This can include NPC overhauls, Bard college overhauls, etc. You will not get his special dialogue or the ability to purchase songbooks. Either load this mod after the conflicting mod(s), or play BaB without those features. (Or create a patch. If you do, please let me know, and I will link to it from the description.)
If you have questions, you might want to check the Discussion forums on the Steam page for the mod (just above the Comments section). You don't have to use the Steam version of the game to view those forums.
For example, there is an extensive thread there on users helping other users set up the custom songbook.
Do we put the custom songs in "Data\Sound" or "Data\Sound\FX\Mus\Bard\Custom" and do we name them "#.xwm" or "Custom0#.xwm"? The MCM and the description page say different things. I am also assuming that the .xwm is the file extension and not part of the name. It would be weird if it were 1.xwm.xwm or Custom01.xwm.xwm.
I cannot get the custom songbook to work no matter what. I am currently trying all of the possible combinations, but I would like to know which one is correct so that I have a starting point for diagnosing my problem.
I do know that you have to read the songbook from Viarmo and have the custom songbook enabled in the MCM.
Nevermind... It is working now, for a reason that is beyond me. I'm going to leave this up since the MCM and the description page do say different things. It should be in Data\Sound, and be named 1.xwm, 2.xwm etc.
Edit: It is now a few weeks later. For literally no reason at all this advice stopped working for me and now the other naming and file path is what works. So... I don't know. If you have issues do both?
posting in december 2024 that my quest update for the "i'm done now" doesn't show up after performing in the tavern. the bard journal doesn't update with any stats as well and idk why :(
no wenches or whatever installed, i have skse, i don't have a gold bag i need to pick up or a gig i need to finish. it just straight up doesn't update in my journal or let me press "i'm done now" as the option doesn't even show up.
nobody has a fix it seems, so if by miracle somebody does, lmk please :)
*found the issue. "bards reborn skyrim's got talent - main file" is the problem. when disabled i get my pay and stay in the inn. when enabled, this mod stops the quest from updating and getting your tips and free inn stay. sucks ://
Somehow the missions which clear player's items will make the journal blank.(I had to finish forsworn and thalmor embassy missions first to avoid this.)
One of my favorite mods, so thank you very much! One thing though:
I believe a conflict exists between this mod and Improved Innkeepers, which I use for immersive and customizable prices at different inns. I load Improved Innkeepers after Become a Bard, and no issues arise UNTIL unlocking the Experienced Bard perk. When this happens, all the inn prices are reset to vanilla 10 gold. All other functionality of Improved Innkeepers still functions, just the room price is broken. I imagine it has to do with the free room?
I will post this info to Improved Innkeepers page as well, hopefully someone can figure out how to patch and resolve this conflict.
Figured out through interface: Custom songs should be called (example) "Custom01.xwm". .xwm is a file extention and should not be included in the NAME of a file. File should be placed in derictory mentioned in mod description.
Also for things to work correctly, I remind everyone who reads this comment to check all options of a custom book, like instruments and length of a song.
works fine mid-playthrough for me. As a general rule, *never* uninstall a mod mid-playthrough. you can always copy a backup save to a separate folder before installing, then if it doesn't work or whatever you don't lose everything.
Thanks for keeping a file for those who don't use SKSE. I play with the game pass pc version, I can't use SKSE, and it always saddens me when I find a cool mod that needs it, so thanks!
The instructions for importing custom songs on the mod page did not work. What worked for me is putting the .xwm files in this folder path: Data/Sound/Fx/Mus/Bard/Custom
In the "Custom" folder, name the .xwm files: Custom01 Custom02 Custom03 all the way to 09.
Help, I did it like you said, and whenever I play the custom song it gives me a shrieking sound like a electric guitar riff for half a second, and then continue to play with no audio or in silence.

Thank you again for this incredible mod!
.xwm is a file extention and should not be included in the NAME of a file. File should be placed in derictory mentioned in mod description.

Enjoy~
Also, is it safe to install/uninstall during playthrough? Suppose not, but it's always better to ask.
Data/Sound/Fx/Mus/Bard/Custom
In the "Custom" folder, name the .xwm files:
Custom01
Custom02
Custom03
all the way to 09.
Hope this helps.
