Solitude Men's Club Expanded (by ffabris) 1.0.0

Another port of a ffabris mod. This time it is the merged version of Solitude Men's Club, which I therefore renamed Solitude Mens Club Expanded, cos multiple clubs. See what I did there?

Anyway, this mod adds (gay) men's clubs in Solitude, Windhelm and Riften for you to soak your weary achy bones in the pools after dancing with dragons, combating nirnroot and swatting bees, in the company of handsome men.

So what did I do to the mod:

- converted the files wit Cathedral Asset Optimizer

- converted the esp to form 44

- nordified the men (ffabris likes his men "crispy")

- added a tiny bit of diversity to the Riften club by adding some "beast races"

- ironed the towels, swept the floors, cleaned the windows and made dinner (or rather: general clean-up of the files)

Requirements:

USSEP

SkyUI

KS Hairdos SSE (male hair)

SexLab

SexLab Aroused Redux

But... what does this mod do?!

Well... read the following, which is from the original mod description (the add-ons are already part of this mod):

Backstory
The Solitude Men's Club was founded by King Mantiarco, husband of Potema. While outwardly, he was a devoted husband, in reality he preferred the company of other men. And so he created a place where he, and others like him, could meet and enjoy one another's company. In order to maintain discretion for all involved, the place had a very modest entryway, with no signage, leading most to believe that it was a wine cellar, or something similar.

 

On his death, he was unable to provide for the upkeep of the club, so in order to keep running, the club had to start changing membership fees. And this allowed it to survive. The club still exists, with the same nondescript entrance on a side alleyway. But inside, a lavish setting makes men of all backgrounds welcome, and allows them to freely express their sexuality.

 

What This Is
This mod adds a club in Solitude. The entrance is located on the slope leading to the Blue Palace, on the right. The doorway faces the side door of Erikur's house. You enter the foyer of the club, and will not be able to go further until you purchase membership, which has a one time cost of 500 septims.

 

Once you have joined, you gain access to the club proper, where naked men lounge around, enjoying the pool, and the food available - and one another's company and bodies. Optionally, (male) vanilla NPCs can also visit the club.

 

Some time after joining (2-5 days), the courier will deliver an invitation to assume the role of club manager. If you accept, this gives you a small room to call you own, with a double bed, and basic storage for clothing, etc. You also get access to the basement, which has all crafting equipment, as well as a dungeon area with animals for a different kind of "play".

 

The MCM
This mod has an MCM which allows you to configure a variety of options. Most become available only when you join the club, or later become the manager, as applicable.

 

After initially installing the mod, start Skyrim, open the MCM then close it again, and wait for SkyUI to say that it has registered the new menu. Then open the MCM again, and scroll down to Solitude Men's Club.

 

Add-Ons
Windhelm Men's Club: located outside the city proper, between Brandy-Mug and Hlaalu Farms. You won't have access to the baths unless you are a member of the SMC; once you become manager, you are able to use the bed in the upper section (inn) of the Windhelm club. No animals here, but there are up to 12 bathers available, and vanilla NPCs can visit (both are set via MCM).

Riften Men's Club: Located beyond the south gate of Riften, just before Snow-Shod Farm. Unlike the Windhelm club, this has a very short introductory quest, which starts at the Solitude club. Once you have become manager, the quest kicks off. The Riften club has animals available (optional, via MCM), but here they are "basic": dogs, huskies, horses, bears.

 

Conflicts
Anything that changes the earthworks on the right side of the hill leading to the Blue Palace (next to Erikur's house, side door). Legacy of the Dragonborn definitely conflicts*, for example, as does Solitude Public Bathhouse. It also won't work with OpenCities, as that moves Solitude into the Tamriel worldspace.

 

* Note on compatibility with LotD: Soclopio mentions this in the comments: " And with the incompatibility with LotD, well it is, but just a tiny wall blocks the door (you can see the tip even). It's just a disable and all done." So to make it compatible, just delete that tiny wall. Thanks for the report, Soclopio

For the Windhelm club, anything which edits the space between Brandy-Mug and Hlaalu Farms.

 

For the Riften club, anything which edits the space that the club occupies, i.e, between Riften south gate and Snow-Shod Farm, on the side of the lake.

 

Notes
Don't change the number of bathers while sex acts are in progress. Results are unpredictable. Instead, disable sex interaction in the MCM first, then make sure no sex is happening. Only then should you change the number of bathers.

 

Stealing items from inside the club, or attacking any of the club residents (attendants, bathers), will be treated as a crime. Becoming a club member will allow you to take some of the items; becoming manager will give access to more. Patience.

 

Your followers, regardless of gender, will follow you into the club after you have become a member.

 

There is no navmesh on the stairs down to the basement - by design. This to prevent the club NPCs from wandering down there, needlessly. So followers won't be able to go there either, unless they TP to you once you're there.

 

The artwork on the MCM and the paintings in the club, is all my (=ffabris') own, and thus under copyright. I do not grant permission for its use elsewhere.

Patch(es):

Aragonit has created a patch for use with Legacy of the Dragonborn (LotD) or any other mod that blocks the entrance to the club in Solitude. It moves the entrance to the club to another place. You can find the patch HERE. Thank you, aragonit!

DiscipleDarkfriend made a patch for Lux for those that use it. You can find it HERE on Nexus. Thanks (to you.... DiscipleDark) friend *raises an Argonian Ale*
