So If your curious what the Goblin has been doing... Well the Momo preview pics are eeeeh fairly accurate. Turns out the head hates me though. I thought I had everything nailed down tight. Then I'm all like... Waitaminnit... And pulled the assets out of my load order and disabled the mods plugged in on the build. (Mind you I had already dinked with NifMerge and NifScope before this thanks to a well timed suggestion.)

But alas. Momo V.2 had issues. The feet were just a few clicks and BAM fixed. All my building was snazzy tight and worked... but the head. Two days and a temper tantrum later I scrapped V.2 in fustration and began assembling V.3. So far the pieces are falling into place fast. (Odd how fast one can build a custom follower after repeatedly failing many times over.) So I asked an expert and sit with my anvil slowly cooling awaiting a hopefully insightful reply.

I really don't want to give up. Not when I came so close to getting everything sooooooooooooooo close. But after 3 weeks of struggling with just one body part I have both found a new respect for modders who have put in the time to build literally anything... And a newly aquired desire to be an alcoholic.

But what about picking up the pieces? The title of my rant.

Well to avoid an early aneurism screaming at Momo to just work as intended, Iv'e had my eye on another mod for a few weeks that I really wanted to crack open and mess around with. One - for practice. Basically finding out how the engine works by getting under the hood. Two - It's long since abandoned and I think nobody would mind if I adopt it. (I asked around on the forums and the replies were helpful and encouraging.)

The mod is "Slave Town" by former L.L. member Iamtheonewhoknocks. The main file page is listed as guest, and after poking around the original authors account has long since been closed. The forum chatter ended long ago as well. Also the forum chatter was rather supportive of the mod itself, so by giving it a facelift, perhaps I can breathe life back into an old mod.

So far my update goes as thus:

TINKERING> Slave Town V2 ~ Remix of a classic L.L. exclusive mod.
(Ready for release - V.2 Game Goblin Remix - Pending: testing of edits.)
Abandoned mod. After asking around seems okay to adopt. Poked around in the mod for a few hours - Renamed "Modern" names to "Lore" names of various NPCs. Edited dialogue to be more abusive toward the enslaved. Rewrote some in-game items to be more "Lore".

Yep: Tinkering - I have little idea what I'm doing atm, and learning as I go, looking at what controls or influences what.

Yep: Remix - There is room for growth and expansion on whats been built. Already I got a great suggestion to enhance a scene. Where Dovakiin goes through slave training. It's like a slap on the butt and off you go. For the masochists of L.L. I hope to make this a much more bondage influenced scene with much much more punishment... A real slave breaking scene with nastyness aplenty.

Yep: Modern to Lore - My first test run left me with that look... The one like you can't believe you just did something and want that time of your life refunded. The names really rubbed sandpaper across my nuts. I DO NOT LIKE SANDPAPER ON MY NUTS! Minus one NPC (Who I left intentionally with the original name as a hat-tip to the original author.) I already went through and made the names of NPCs lore friendly.

Yep: More lore - I included a sweep of dialogue fixes / balancing / editing / etc. Sure there's still some nasty modern words... hard to avoid. But I added in some new stuff for variety... Ever wanted to tell your slave master to go gargle troll jizz? Now's your chance. Also touched up some items and other misc in game text here and there. After all the original presentation was good, but grammar nazis and loreophiliacs would get headaches. So hopefully my first run will be a more fun run for everyone.

A few more days testing my own work... basically proofreading at this point, and fixing things I may have missed, and I should be ready to upload.

P.s. If you made it this far... I love you! Haa Haa! (There's also orphaned stuff in the files I hope to include as I remix the mod! YAAAY!)

Til later my fellow Goblins and Goblinettes, GAME ON!

P.p.s. Ideas, suggestions, wishlists... tutorials... gladly accepted!
