Hey there, Lurker! Welcome to the light side of the dark side of the gaming universe! As our local Skeleton War Wizard, allow me to say 'Enflaming Sphere' very loudly, with an elaborate hand gesture impossible for a creature with no muscles or tendons, and promptly burn you to a crisp. Now, with that out of the way, on to your question. If you MAKE it, invariably you will find there is an audience for it here. Somewhere. They may be lurking, as you were, without saying a word... but rest assured. Everyone looking for a little 'hump-time' in their video games ends up finding this place eventually. So have at it, newfound scuttler-in-the-light!

For a game still in the earliest (maybe second earliest) stages of Beta, I'm surprised that this got any adult modding attention at all. My hope is that once the game gets closer to a stable, finished, finalized place we'll see more folks begin to show appreciation for all the potential this game has.

Oh lord... How I am seriously this TERRIBLE at writing a script? What did that take you... like... five minutes? Five seconds? There's definitely something wrong with my brain. I haven't even had the will to load up the game since I started trying to screw around with writing scripts and lost the better part of a year staring at my desktop because I'd broken something and couldn't figure out what it was. I've recently came back to New Vegas after completely obliterating my hard disk and reinstalling everything, so maybe I'll give making this work another go... but I'm definitely not holding my breath that I'll get anywhere. Also, just want to point out that I didn't come here to complain about your choice to remove the function in the first place or anything... just in case it came off that way. I got over that a long time ago, and I've been pretty much amazed by all the extra cool bits and bobs you've added since you first began tweaking this beast. I'm only sad because I really did intend to get something made and functional to restore the player's ability to participate in the depravity... only to be thwarted by a soul-shattering case of idiot-brain.

Every time I see this mod, it makes me sad. It's so frustrating that my months of effort trying to learn how to adjust this mod to restore player aggression never came to any meaningful fruition. I'm definitely not cut out to be a coder, that's for sure... ... one day I'll overcome my codelexia and finish my project. Probably ought to get the newest version of the mod, though, so it's not a complete waste of time.

Yeah, well... this time I'm planning on streamlining a little. Hopefully I'll be up and running again by the end of the night. I had a LOT of mods I was running before. I was mostly just experimenting with a lot of interesting things that had popped up since I'd stopped playing New Vegas regularly. Now that I'm re-installing, I plan to focus more on mods that I actually KNOW that I'll use a lot. Anything extra will have to wait on the sidelines until I'm certain I've got my game running as stable as I can manage. I just hope that this gives me a chance to pinpoint exactly what's going wrong with Tryouts Powdergangers for me. I'll be running it with essentially nothing but New Vegas, the Official DLC, and NVInteriors. Other than that, it'll be a selection of Sexout plugins. If the whole thing doesn't implode on me, maybe then I'll go back to trying out some new stuff.

I would post a load order, but as of last night I no longer have one. I'm currently in the process of re-installing my mods... so if there IS a pre-defined 'working' load order for tryouts... I'd love to hear it. As it stands, whenever a Powderganger approaches me and makes his 'Oh gawd I've been in prison so long that I've started screwing dudes' speech I'm forced to remember which options cause my poor gal to be locked in place and unable to move permanently. I believe that right now (or at least 'previously'... since I'm only installing the mod again just now as I type this), I can confirm it happened with the 'Anal then Blowjob' option and the 'Vaginal then Anal option'. It goes through the first act just fine, but something hiccups between the 'getting up' animation and the 'getting back down again' trigger. I get frozen in place like there's sex happening, and the lust triggers all start, but then nothing happens. Both my character and the other character just get locked there in position unable to do anything. I've even tried manually re-enabling the controls, but none of the console commands I know seem to be able to undo it. This is a permanent effect, too. It doesn't ever just release. I've actually let the whole 'scene' play out for hours while I went to get something to eat. When I came back, the two of them were still just standing there looking stupidly at each other and making a mess of themselves.

So... I guess this is probably an old, old issue... but it's one I've only just recently discovered since coming back to Tryouts. The Powdergangers: If you're agreeable... and, as was the case with my current character, horny enough to the point of losing your shit and masturbating in the middle of combat... offer yourself over freely to a powderganger who approaches you, you get a list of options. Any of the options which lead into a 'multi-part' sex act (Oral/Vaginal, Anal/Oral, etc)... they freeze between acts and just stand there, locked in place permanently, doing nothing. Well, not true. Occasionally one of them has a random orgasm. Which is impressive... but... poor Lizzie is going to starve to death soon if I don't figure out why this keeps happening.

Make sure a Legion officer does not give it to you or you may end up like Box Cars... if you're lucky. Box Cars makes for a terrible companion. I took him along with me while I was playing my Powder Ganger chika. Everything went fine until I accidentally gave him all my drugs, at which point he promptly OD'd in the middle of a fight with the Legion. Stupid jerkass.

Oh, jeez... How did it take me THAT long to realize that it was the poll that kept updating this? Hell, I didn't even REALIZE it. I had to go back a page and find out what was going on. Was making me crazy, checking this thread every day only to find nothing new.

Aww... damn. Well that's too bad. Don't suppose there's any easy way to stick it back in there? I'm not too terribly fond of Hookups, since I don't ALWAYS play female characters... and sometimes I forget to turn it off when I roll a male. As a result, things start getting a little... how shall I say... strange. It doesn't quite seem to know what to make of a male character... and hilarity ensues.

So, after much delaying the inevitable... I am finally posting here. Why delaying? Because I've been having quite a lot of fun infesting the wasteland with swarms upon swarms of bloatflies. But alas... the story of 'Plague-Mother' is coming to its end. Soon she will find a Feeder Fly of her own, settle into her new Goodsprings Nest, and spend the rest of her days pumping Sunny Smiles, Trudy, and all those unfortunate slaves she hauls back on each excursion with thousands upon thousands of larva. Which doesn't really leave me with much more to do in terms of playing her character out. So, starting with my next playthrough, I'm going to experience the delightful finicky mess that is the Deathclaw questline. I figured I'd get a head start and post as such here. Right, then. Back into the wasteland I go... I've still got to figure out a way to get myself a Feeder Fly...

Is there a mod out there that does exactly THIS... but with the chance for failure? I like to believe that, while sure... my characters tend to have high charisma (because I'm an attention whore)... sometimes the other person really just shouldn't be in the mood.

Oh, I've been using breeder for ages now... I just never had any reason to come complain about something not working! So far, I've gotten extremely lucky... in that nothing has outright frozen or exploded in some spectacular way while using Breeder. And when something does, it's usually pretty quickly addressed, so I don't tend to get worked up and panicked and run to the thread screaming bloody murder. I just wait patiently for an answer and continue along on my way. Of course, where everyone else is raving and hollering about how amazing the Deathclaw content is... I've been having a blast running around with 'Aria, Swarm Queen of the Flies' I really should figure out where Camp Forlorn Hope is and actually TRY the Deathclaw questline...

That... ... is pretty amazing. I'd definitely toss my vote in on that idea.

Well, if it was beyond the project's scope I see no reason why the modder would have gone through the effort to not only include it... but give it an MCM key-select option and add the limiting factor of the player needing to sneak in order for it to work. Now, that being said, I'll be looking into figuring out precisely how the function of the 'rape-key' works. I want to figure out what it actually does and doesn't do, because turning it into a cheatsy little 'insta-bone' any random person you come across certainly doesn't need to be done again. If that's what folks want, they can certainly use the mod you've pointed them to and be perfectly happy. My goal will be to first restore the function, and then find a way to balance it into gameplay with similar limitations to NPCs. (IE, health < x%; sneaking; NPC unconscious/sleeping). All of which will run the risk of being caught/stopped in the act and labeled an enemy. Of course... all of that means nothing if I don't ever get that far. Right now I'm just trying to read through the scripting and figure out what half of it means.
