About This File
While Cynthia can be used by anyone I had two particular groups of people in mind when I made her. First was the newcomer to SexLab Framework. Cynthia acts like a vanilla follower except that she has unique (unvoiced) dialogue that allows consensual sex. In this way, someone familiar with followers can play the Skyrim game to which they've become accustomed and simply add sex to the mix without having to load too many additional mods or learn a lot of new interfaces. The second group was those who like their Skyrim immersive. As mentioned, Cynthia responds to dialogue like a vanilla follower. There are no elaborate spells or shouts or whatever to make her have sex with you.
What makes Cynthia different - in one word: sex.
Cynthia has dialogue ("Would you like to ... you know?") that allows the PC to start a sex act through SexLab Framework. Additionally if her arousal is high enough (over 90) she is unwilling to talk about anything else. You can find out for yourself what happens when she brings up sex and you don't give it to her.
Cynthia also starts without any inventory. This means that you will not have to worry about the annoying habit of the game to change your follower's clothes back to their default, since default is naked). She will use the vanilla game's AI in that she will wear the "best" outfit that you put into her inventory.
Last, and not related to sex, Cynthia will not spawn the annoying hunting bow that vanilla followers get. In fact, she will prevent any followers from spawning it IF you have not loaded something after her that restores it. (Only applies before (above) the ff version)
What you want to know about Cynthia:
- She can be found in White River Watch in the last interior cell (the one with the wolf)
- She fights as a Spellsword (duh!) - think Vigillant of Stendarr
- She levels up with the player
- She has perks in alteration, destruction, one-handed and restoration. This means that early in the game she appears to be more powerful than the PC. Later she will be much less so.
- For her "normal" follower functions she uses the same voice as Lydia
- She is essential (non-killable)
- Besides being a follower she is marriageable and will serve as a steward for a Hearthfire home
Requirements:
SexLab Framework
and it's requirements
Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) REQUIRES SKSE 1.7.3 OR NEWER
Fores New Idles in Skyrim (FNIS) REQUIRES FNIS 5.4.2 OR NEWER
- FNIS Creature Pack (found as part of FNIS) is required only if you want creature animation support in SexLab, otherwise it is not required.
- If you get a warning in game about not having 5.2 installed despite having installed it. You have without exception, installed it incorrectly. You can either ignore the warning and keep using SexLab like normal if everything working anyway, or do the smart thing and figure out what's wrong with your FNIS install so the warning will leave you alone.
SkyUI REQUIRES VERSION 5.0 OR NEWER
- If you dislike SkyUI for some reason, you can also install SkyUI-Away on top of it.
- It may work fine with older versions if you refuse to upgrade to 5.0 for whatever reason. You do so at your own risk.
An actor skeleton mod such as XPMSE
Unofficial Skyrim Legenday Edition Patch (USLEEP)
- This is not a hard requirement and can be skipped, it has been known to fix some problems people have had related to SexLab however and there is little to no reason to not be using them anyway.
- If you choose to not use the Unofficial Patches for whatever reason, expect to be browbeat about not having them when posting your load order in the troubleshooting section.
SexLab Aroused Redux
https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/1421-sexlab-aroused-redux-december-05-2016/
For newcomers to SexLab Framework (the very basics that you need to know to make Cynthia work):
After loading Cynthia and all the requirements listed above there are only two additional things to bear in mind. The first is that, once you start your game you need to go to the SexLab McMenu and, on it's main page, click on Install. Until you do that it will not work.
The other is that the hotkey (default in SexLab Aroused Redux) for determining the level of an NPC's arousal is the "N" key. So, if you are in a screen and could talk to an NPC by hitting "E" (this includes Cynthia) and hit "N" instead it will give you both your arousal and that of the NPC (on a scale of 1-100). This can be changed in the McMenu.
There are many other interesting and useful features to these two mods and I encourage you to take the time to investigate them, but this is all you absolutely have to know in order to use my mod successfully.
WARNING: Cynthia is a follower with unique dialogue. Some follower frameworks have difficulty with that. Specifically, they do not want you to have Cynthia and other followers concurrently. If you have that issue go back to your follower framework. There are specific instructions on how to deal with that.
