Enabling Dynamic Modesty in the MCM will make Advanced Nudity Detection interact with DFFMA in order to determine if Modesty Animations should be playing or not.

Advanced Nudity Detection comes with custom "User" configuration files for Open Animation Replacer that DFFMA will look for and use, so long as you allowed AND to overwrite DFFMA.

If you have not allowed AND to overwrite DFFMA, then Dynamic Modesty will not work as intended and you (probably) should just turn it off.

In Advanced Nudity Detection 2.4.0+ you can now choose if Males, Females, or Both cause the player to cover herself when exposed in front of them. This setting is on the Dynamic Modesty page: "Shy When Seen By"

There are 5 factors that determine if a female covers herself:

1. Is she in a state of undress? (Showing Bra/Underwear/Boobs/Pussy)
   • Answer must be "Yes" to cover
2. Is she comfortable in that state of undress? (Is her Modesty Rank high enough to not care?)
   • Answer must be "No" to cover
3. Is she aroused? (Is her arousal at or above the Cutoff value int he MCM?)
   • Answer must be "No" to cover
4. Can any living, non-creature NPCs of the chosen "Shy When Seen By" sex see her?
   • Answer must be "Yes" to cover
5. Is she wearing a Devious Devices arm restraint?
   • Answer must be "No" to cover

If any of the required answers to those 5 questions are not met, she will not cover herself

Modesty Ranks determine how comfortable a character is with exposing herself. By default, every Player character will start off as "Modest", meaning they are not comfortable being in their underwear (or an underwear equivalent). However, you may give yourself a pseudo-randomized starting modesty rank if you wish.

There are two different sets of Modesty Ranks - Strict and Simple. If "Use Strict Rules" is enabled, then you are using the Strict rank set. Otherwise, you are using the Simple rank set. When you are using the Simple rank set, there are separate ranks for Top and Bottom modesty, and the requirements to upgrade and downgrade are easier to achieve.

You can customize how long it takes for you to go up or down ranks by configuring the "Immodesty Time Needed" setting in the MCM. The number in the MCM is how many days worth of time you need before changing ranks. However, your progress is tracked in hours, and the accumulated hours will appear in the MCM. Upgrading requires the number to be Positive, and downgrading requires the number to be Negative. Therefore, the default 14 day setting means you need 336 in-game hours of time dressed in the appropriate clothes before your rank changes (positive 336 is an upgrade, negative 336 is a downgrade).

For example: if my current Modesty Rank is 1, and I am using the Strict System, every hour I spend Showing Underwear and NOT showing Chest or Genitals increases the Modesty Timer by 1. However, every hour I spend keeping Bra, Underwear, Chest, and Genitals covered decreases the Modesty Timer by 1. If the Modesty Timer reaches 336, then I upgrade to Rank 2. However, if the Modesty Timer reaches -336, then I downgrade to Rank 0. This concept also applies to the Simple ranks.

Strict Modesty Ranks

• 0 (Modest) - Covers herself if any Advanced Nudity Detection condition is true (except "Showing Ass" because there are no animations for covering your ass in DFFMA)
  • Upgrade from 0 to 1 with time spent Showing Bra and NOT showing Chest, Underwear, or Genitals
• 1 (Reasonable) - Covers Breasts if they are exposed; Covers Genitals if Underwear (panties, thongs, etc.) or Genitals are exposed
  • Upgrade from 1 to 2 with time spent Showing Underwear and NOT showing Chest or Genitals
  • Downgrade from 1 to 0 with time spent keeping Bra, Underwear, Chest, and Genitals covered
• 2 (Relaxed) - Covers Breasts and/or Genitals if they are exposed
  • Upgrade from 2 to 3 with time spent Showing Chest and NOT Topless or showing Genitals
  • Downgrade from 2 to 1 with time spent keeping Bra, Underwear, Chest, and Genitals covered
• 3 (Comfortable) - Covers Breasts only if Topless; Covers Genitals if they are exposed
  • Upgrade from 3 to 4 with time spent Showing Genitals and NOT Bottomless
  • Downgrade from 3 to 2 with time spent both NOT Showing Chest and NOT showing Genitals
• 4 (Tease) - Covers Breasts if Topless; Covers Genitals if Bottomless
  • Upgrade from 4 to 5 with time spent Topless and NOT Bottomless
  • Downgrade from 4 to 3 with time spent both NOT Showing Chest and NOT showing Genitals
• 5 (Brazen) - Stops covering breasts; Covers Genitals if Bottomless
  • Upgrade from 5 to 6 with time spent Bottomless
  • Downgrade from 5 to 4 with time spent either NOT showing Chest or NOT showing Genitals
• 6 (Shameless) - Stops covering herself at all
  • Downgrade from 6 to 5 with time spent both NOT being Topless and NOT being Bottomless (you CAN be both Topless and Bottomless without technically being Nude, but it is not common)
  • Upgrade by spending time Nude (See "Permanent Shamelessness")

Simple Modesty Ranks

• Top 0 (Shy) - Covers her chest if exposing her Bra or Chest in any way
  • Upgrade by spending time Showing Bra
    • If Showing Chest but not Topless, it will take 2 hours to make progress instead of 1
    • If Topless, it will take 4 hours to make progress instead of 1
• Top 1 (Comfortable) - Covers Chest if Chest is exposed in any way 
  • Upgrade by spending time Showing Chest and not being Topless
    • If Topless, it will take 2 hours to make progress instead of 1
  • Downgrade by keeping Chest and Bra covered
• Top 2 (Bold) - Covers Chest if Topless
  • Upgrade by spending time Topless
  • Downgrade by keeping Chest covered
• Top 3 (Shameless) - Stops covering Chest
  • Downgrade by spending time not Topless
  • Upgrade by spending more time Topless (See "Permanent Shamelessness")

• Bottom 0 (Shy) - Covers genitals if exposing her Underwear or Genitals in any way
  • Upgrade by spending time Showing Underwear
    • If Showing Genitals but not Bottomless, it will take 2 hours to make progress instead of 1
    • If Bottomless, it will take 4 hours to make progress instead of 1
• Bottom 1 (Comfortable) - Covers Genitals if Genitals are exposed in any way
  • Upgrade by spending time Showing Genitals and not being Bottomless
    • If Bottomless, it will take 2 hours to make progress instead of 1

  • Upgrade by spending time Bottomless
  • Downgrade by keeping Genitals covered
• Bottom 3 (Shameless) - Stops covering Genitals
  • Downgrade by spending time not Bottomless
  • Upgrade by spending more time Bottomless (See "Permanent Shamelessness")

IMPORTANT NOTES

Simple and Strict rank progress is tracked separately from each other. This is because many combinations of Simple ranks can't translate to a proper Strict rank equivalent. Therefore, it's recommended to use your preferred system for an entire playthrough and not switch between systems mid-game unless you're willing to reset your progress, but it's not required to do that.

You will not lose any progress in a rank system if you switch systems mid-game. For example, if you switch from Simple to Strict, your progress in the Simple system will simply be frozen until you use the Simple system again or reset your modesty progress entirely.

A hidden flag in AND can block your modesty rank upgrade progress while enabled. This flag is only accessible to mod authors, and allows them to control your modesty progress if they need to.

You may "Jump" to different ranks in the Simple and Strict systems if desired via Toggles in the MCM. However, this is not recommended if you wish to get the full experience. Additionally, if your modesty upgrade progress is blocked, these "Jump" options will be disabled in order to prevent breaking AND or the mod enabling the restriction.

You may set the Minimum rank(s) your character is allowed to be, if desired. Again, this is not recommended if you wish to get the full experience.

Permanent Shamelessness

With the "Shameless Can Be Permanent" toggle enabled, you can become "Permanently Shameless" meaning you will never decrease modesty ranks again no matter how covered you are. You can only undo the rank by disabling the "Shameless Can Be Permanent" toggle (unless Hardcore is active, then you're REALLY stuck). This applies to both Strict and Simple modesty rules. The time needed to obtain the "Permanent" rank is spending double the "Immodesty Time Required" value set in the MCM satisfying the conditions outlined above. For example, if your "Immodesty Time Required" value is 14 days (336 hours) then you will need to spend 28 days (672 hours) satisfying the appropriate condition before obtaining the permanent rank.

Modesty Corruption

Modesty Corruption is the replacement for the old "Permanently Shameless" feature. While enabled, Modesty Corruption makes all progress gained towards the next modesty rank permanent. Your timers will never decrease, meaning any gained ranks will also never decrease.

While Dynamic Modesty is activated, female NPCs will also be given pseudo-randomized Modesty ranks when they are detected and added to the tracking list by the mod for then first time. How this randomization works is described in the section below.

Most NPCs cannot Dynamically change their modesty. Trying to track many NPCs would simply be too demanding to be worth doing.

Followers may use Dynamic Modesty if it is enabled in the MCM. Followers will start off using the same modesty rules you are using when they are fist detected by the system. You may manually change their modesty rules using the Tweak options described below. Just like you, an NPC's progress in each system is independent of each other. An NPC that is shameless in the Strict rules might still be shy in the Simple rules and vice-versa.

Follower that have been dismissed or not recruited yet can store up to 7 days (168 hours) of modesty progress, so long as Dynamic Followers is enabled. If Dynamic Followers is disabled, all follower progress timers will be wiped upon exiting the MCM. If enabled again, their progress timers (and progress banks) will start again from the moment you re-enabled Dynamic Followers. (This is hard to juggle in the code and is the best compromise I've found so far)

You can tweak the current, default, and minimum ranks of specific NPCs by selecting them in the MCM, change if they are using Simple or Strict modesty rules, decide which NPCs have the ability to become permanently shameless, have modesty corruption, and choose what sexes they are shy around. You can also choose to reset or delete a specific NPC from the tracking list in the same group of options. Not all tweak options are useful for non-followers.

Resetting NPCs means resetting their Modesty Ranks back to the default ranks they were given when the system added them, or the default rank you assign them via MCM options.

Clearing/Deleting NPCs means completely deleting their Modesty data, meaning AND must re-detect and re-add them to the list which may generate new default ranks for the NPC (for Permanent Females, this is the same as resetting but with extra steps).

Rosa Round-Bottom is a special NPC that is Shameless by default unless you have saved her in the "Permanent Females" list, in which those settings will be imported instead. However, she will still be treated like any other follower and you can tweak or reset her without issues. Dynamic Followers must be enabled in order for Rosa to have Dynamic Modesty.

While Dynamic Modesty is disabled, any tracked NPCs will be removed from the tracking system if they are detected by an NPC scan again.

================================================================================

NPC Shy Sex Settings

You may select if Males, Females, or Both cause Female NPCs to cover themselves when sufficiently exposed by using the "NPCs Shy When Seen By" setting. However, NPCs also have two extra options: Random and Sexuality

"Random" will make Female NPCs that HAVEN'T started being tracked by the mod yet have a randomly selected shyness.

"Sexuality" requires Sexlab to be installed, and will grab the NPC's sexuality score from Sexlab and apply settings according to their sexuality (Straight = Males, Lesbian = Females, Bisexual = Both). If Sexlab is NOT installed and you select Sexuality, it will default back to Males.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once an NPC is registered, they will no longer be affected by the general "NPCs Shy When Seen By" setting. To change an NPC's shyness setting after they become registered, you must manually tweak them (or delete them from the tracking list and let the mod register them again, which will use the new general shyness setting).

Modesty Randomization (for both NPCs and the Player) is based on two factors:

1. The character's Race
2. The character's Confidence score
   • Since the player doesn't have a defined "Confidence" score, you must assign one in the MCM.

First, the character's race is detected and rolls against the random chance of being a certain Modesty rank for that race, which is called their "Base Modesty". Then it modifies that result by the Confidence score minus 2. Confidence values can be between 0 and 4.

• 0 = Cowardly
  • -2 Modifier
• 1 = Cautious
  • -1 Modifier
• 2 = Average
  • 0 Modifier
• 3 = Brave
  • +1 Modifier
• 4 = Foolhardy
  • +2 Modifier

Therefore, the final equation is: [Base Modesty] + [Confidence Modifier]

If the result is 0 or lower, then the result is 0 (Modest)

If the result is 6 or higher, then the result is 6 (Shameless)

This randomization calculates the Strict variant of ranks, but assigns the equivalent Simple ranks at the same time. Strict system ranks can always translate to Simple system ranks, but not the other way around. For example, Strict Rank 3 translates to Top Rank 2 and Bottom Rank 1.

For lore reasons, it is intentionally impossible for Altmer, Dunmer, and Nords to be Shameless via the randomizer.

For lore reasons, it is intentionally impossible for Bosmer to be Modest via the randomizer.

Custom Races will always be given a Base Modesty Rank of 0 by the randomizer.

Race Base Modesty Rank Chances

Hardcore Mode is a Player-Only setting for those who want to prevent themselves from "cheating". Hardcore Mode will be activated after enabling the proper toggle in the MCM and then closing the MCM. A warning will also pop up notifying you that it has been enabled. Therefore, if you accidentally click it, you have plenty of opportunity to uncheck it.

Once you close the MCM with Hardcore Mode enabled, nearly every Dynamic Modesty setting will be locked and it is impossible to undo unless you have a prior save, but you may still change all NPC modesty settings.
