⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community adoption (792 endorsements, 119k downloads) — clearly fills a need.
- Adds a ton of content (100+ items) for one slot, so you won't run out of options.
- Turns a useless slot into something viable for any build, not just bards.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Last updated May 2024 — may not be compatible with the latest game version.
- Requires the base game to have a musical instrument slot; if your game doesn't have one, this mod won't work.
