About this mod Machine translation
Bard less goes into their poor selection of 3 songs.
Not tested in SSE, but it's just a script replacer so it should work fine.
What?
This mod does the same thing as Bard Instrumentals Only - sing on request, except instead of completely eliminating singing, it also reduces the chance of singing to 3.3-4%. The chants are short, so even if there's a rare chance you'll still hear some singing.
What? !
Required: USKP or USLEEP (I based my minstrel script on them)
Install using the Mod Manager of your choice.
What? ! ?
The way this mod works is by first forcing a 10% filter. There is a 10% chance that the bard will even attempt to select from the full track list, otherwise an instrument will be forced. If they pass the 10% filter, they have a 3-4/9-10 (depending on whether you have unlocked alduin's whatthesongtitle) chance of being sung instead of playing an instrument.
What? ! ? !
Compatible with USLEEP/USKP.
Compatible with mods that do not edit the BardSongScript.pex file.

fadingsignal - I found the part in the USKP script that selects tracks by looking at where he modified the script.

The mod does sort of the same thing as Bard Instrumentals Only - Sing Upon Request, except instead of completely removing the singing, it lowers the chances of singing happening to 3.3-4%. Bard tracks are very short so you're still going to be hearing some singing even with this low of a chance.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
