The laboratory looks a bit too clean. I suppose a completely clean laboratory could be creepy, too, but that doesn't work with the 'rustic' style you're going for. Also, it's too bright.

Yeah there's supposed to be a dead falmer on the table and another corpse in a coffin (can't be seen from there), don't know why they didn't load this time.  As for brightness, there will be a npc basically living there so I won't turn it too dark but I'll try to improve it.  Again, it will also depend on the users settings

Edit : About cleanliness, it's mostly defined by small details that are added once the groundwork is done.  I can add spiderwebs and dust, but again it's supposed to be a livable space.  I also added some pictures on my ENB profile, where the lights are much dimmer.

Don't suppose the DD stuff will be optional?

Not at first, I'm afraid.  Let's assume it was optional, it would mean that A) I can't use restraints or B) For each DD restraint I use I have to find an alternative non-DD item (for example when you gag or blind the player).

Let's say we use JSON configuration files with some dictionary that translates a DD item to a non-DD item, I now have to dynamically load the formlists used by the game, which I haven't tried yet.

However, the shop is absolutely not the main point of the mod, it's more of a side dish to provide some playable content to the alpha.  Meaning the shop could sell some other stuff.

But I'm curious, is there really a grudge against DD in the community ?  Do you and others want an alternative or simply no bondage content ?  I'm trying to understand why and how to avoid the DD issue.

Won't people have the same demands regarding the Zaz framework ?

No, because the Zaz stuff fits the context. Many people find a lot of the DD items to be jarringly modern.

Edit: the picture that you posted is actually a perfect example. All that shiny black latex doesn't exactly scream medieval-ish world.

Your locations are really amazing it would be possible to split this mod to two part one with your amazings locations and second with everything else?

Looking good man, keep up the great work!

Well, I could, but it'd be easier for both of us to wait for the first release as those locations aren't 100% done

I do want to make clear, in case it isn't, that I meant the question as a query, not a complaint. I am very much looking forward to your incarnation of one of my favorite mods, and will be downloading it the moment it is available.

Late comment, I know. Have you thought about perhaps making a version that uses Toys instead of DD? To be clear, I am a huge fan of both frameworks. I also tend to not care as much about having "modern" devices in the game, since my suspension of belief itself has to be suspended when playing "sexy Skyrim" lol.

Looking forward to the rebuild, looking fantastic so far! (PS: I like that it isn't as grungy, although a few cobwebs might add some nice ambience!)

Ooo, exciting!
