Kinggath Creations has done an excellent job ensuring that their new creation is as plug-and-play as possible. However, this highly stable approach does require additional patches, as the Bards College is replaced with a new cell. We have attempted to make this as seamless as possible while also patching any other issues the mod may have. All patches on this page are .ESPs flagged as .ESL so they won't take up a place in your load order.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ADD THESE PATCHES TO A NEW GAME. To quote robertgk2017 "Modding is illegal post character start." You might be able to get away with it if you haven't entered the cell yet but this is neither recommended nor supported.
If you are a mod author and would like a patch removed, please reach out to cavy8 on Nexus. We do our best to keep track of permissions but recognize that some things may have changed after being forced to move the patch hub off of nexus.

In addition, we have included two patches that require manual selection. One, made by Spacedroner, ensures any instrument mesh replacers you may have will work with Bards College Expansion. Another plugin ensures compatibility with ENB. BOTH REQUIRE MANUAL SELECTION.
The Charmers of the Reach patches do not fix the vampire limitation. I have copy pasted the work around from the COTR page:
How to preserve my character's appearance after turning into a vampire?
1) Create a RaceMenu preset before turning into a vampire.
2) Navigate to sculpting section in RaceMenu.
3) Export the head.
4) Become a vampire.
5) Enter the character creation menu.
6) Enter the sculpt menu
7) Import the head from the preset.

(These will likely be a while but those of us who made this page are capable of making them so we hope to make them at some point)
- JK's Bards College
- JK's Winking Skeever
- Enhanced Solitude
We do not plan on patching any of the major Bard overhauls such as Become a Bard, The Adamant Bard Addon or Skyrim's got talent due to script conflicts that we are not capable of fixing. In some of these cases it would require combining the two systems which would be way outside the scope of what could be called a patch.
Just download and install the FOMOD with your mod manager. The auto-select should take care of the rest.
