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.

Hello. Here is the Ukrainian translation of this mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ukrayinskii-7-na-118684332
Hello, 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?
Hello, 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 ?
I have a similar question.
hey 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?
Getting the same problem, it's directing me to a "not found" page. Same with the French horn update
Hey, 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?
Hi!!! 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)
Thank you for letting me know! Let me look into this.
Thank you for updating this mod! The Polish translation is complete. Here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/81544439?pr=true . Have a lovely weekend.
I have the same problem 👉👈
I think we're closing in on a solution! I had a problem with the textures
The 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!
Hi! It's probably not a mod conflict. I'd love some help testing if you're up for it!
