Mod: Lute Skill

Updated 3/12/25: Fixed for Businesses and Hobbies compatibility.
Sul sul! Here is another new musical skill - the lute! Thanks so much to @simverses for the suggestion! This skill includes one low-poly object with three swatches, but any object that functions as a guitar can be turned into a lute, such as the beautiful TSM Lutes converted by @simverses.

2024-12-26 12:56:31 +0000 UTCHello, I wanted to ask you if this new update eliminates the sound files because I just realized that I updated the mod for Curseforged and when I checked my recycle bin I found all the sound files in it and I don't understand why?

2024-10-07 20:54:54 +0000 UTCHello, sorry to bother you but I wanted to know if the whole mod is in the JS_Lute_v1.3 package because my initial lute mod folder has "lute_audio_files", "simsten_luteSTBL" and "simsten_lute_object" in it. Do I need to remove everything and just keep the last file ?

2024-10-06 09:56:22 +0000 UTCGetting the same problem, it's directing me to a "not found" page. Same with the French horn update

2024-10-05 15:16:20 +0000 UTChey it seems like when i click on the file it isnt found? also this might sound stupid but if i did the edit of the lutes you linked to to connect them with this mod do i need to update them now?

2024-10-05 14:52:55 +0000 UTCHey, I was wondering if not being to license written songs from the lute was just a glitch or if I need to tune a guitar into a lute?

2023-04-18 18:55:43 +0000 UTCHi!!! Amazing mod!! I am in love. I made the translation to Spanish https://www.patreon.com/posts/laud-lute-skill-81591315?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link But I just have a few things to say ^^'' the Bard songs have low volume and when you want to choose which music play don't say the name, only 3 dots (hope can understand because my English skill it's not the best)

2023-04-15 08:16:13 +0000 UTCI think we're closing in on a solution! I had a problem with the textures

2023-04-06 18:20:45 +0000 UTCHi! It's probably not a mod conflict. I'd love some help testing if you're up for it!

2023-04-05 13:00:47 +0000 UTCThe lute actually hasn't been showing up for me either. It's listed in the catalog but the item is invisible when I try to place it. I've wondered if I might just have a mod conflict honestly but I'm not sure what it might conflict with. I'm happy to help troubleshoot if needed!

2023-04-05 05:31:51 +0000 UTCThis should come with a lute! Let me know if it isn't appearing in your game for some reason - another user had reported a bug and I haven't been able to replicate it for the life of me.

2023-04-04 22:05:18 +0000 UTCDoes this come with a lute, or do we need to update the lutes?
