Description

Overview
My mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to distribute and equip one (1) random:
Mod is configured to distribute and equip chordophones to Bard NPCs. Mod can be re-configured to distribute chordophones to any NPC and / or any group of NPCs that you wish (e.g., ActorTypeNPC)! Random distribution will always be based on four (4) chordophones no matter how distribution is configured (e.g., female, male, level, faction, voicetype, etc.).
Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.
Installation and Uninstallation
Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that SPID will not impact save games in any way. Safe to uninstall at anytime.
Configuration
Huge number of configuration options available in the _DISTRI.ini. Some knowledge of Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) is useful to achieve desired results.

Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.
- Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) does not edit levelled lists, and does not modify or generate new records.
- Body slots, however, are not compatible. Choose wisely, or edit the body slot. I will not alter body slots.
- Clipping will likely occur depending on setup. I will not resolve clipping issues.
Installation and Uninstallation

Caveats, Recommendations, and Extensions
- Fully standalone. Stroti Resource Pack is not required. The very generous permissions by Stroti and Tamira have made this possible.
- Images in this mod are for illustration purposes only. Your NPCs will receive a random chordophone.
- Chordophones are lootable
- Cosmetic only. NPCs still play / use base-game instruments.
- PC can equip a dropped chordophone (body slot 47)
- Article describes how to fine-tune the adjustment of chordophones on NPCs
