Sex Appeal Framework 1.13-beta

1.12-beta

Update: just install the new version

Added persuasion effects (disabled by default, can be enabled in MCM). With enabled persuasion effects, SA will start influencing the odds of success when attempting to persuade NPCs. The check itself is still done with charisma since SAF was never intended to replace it, however each point of charisma will have more "weight" with higher SA score.

Essentially it adds to an internal game multiplier for easy, medium and hard checks. The added part corresponds to one quarter, one seventh and one tenth of SA respectively for positive SA and in reverse for negative SA (yes, negative SA will reduce odds of persuasion). This means that the harder the persuasion check is, the less it will be affected by positive SA / the more it will be affected by negative SA.

Since this is done without injecting anything into game dialogues, it will work on any persuasion check natively (including modded persuasion perks and stuff like that). The only conflicts could be with mods that affect persuasion mechanics like Binary Checks, but even in this case SAF will attempt its best to preserve consistency. If you experience issues with some mods - you can simply turn this SAF feature off.

1.11-beta

Update: just install the new version

Added elementary support for Hardship. Now crossing certain thresholds of total SA score will change the appearance. The scale is done by total SA as follows:

• -100..-50 ugly
• -50 .. 50 plain
• 50 .. 100 good looking

Nothing else was yet changed. This will not lock you out of changing the Hardship Appearance - i.e. you will still be able to change it through that mod menu item, but SAF will recalculate it the next time your SA attributes will change.

This is a soft dependency, hence of course, no original mod is required for SAF to work (without the original mod it will just do nothing)

1.10-beta

Update: clean save is required.

Overhaul of the tagging feature. Now it works similar to the internal cache manager allowing for much more stable and robust experience. New changes mean:

• Tagging will now be insensitive to items renaming when equipped. When unequipping a renamed item, SAF will properly cancel the modifiers which were defined by the tags at the moment of equipping that item
• Tagging can now work on NPC. Much the same as SAF is designed. However, you will still need to use the assembler and equip the item that's marked for tagging. This, however, is not recommended due to a burden it might leave on your save. Supported up to 128 NPC
• Upper/lower bound limits will now be correctly assessed and no longer cause broken attributed values when the tag modifiers go beyond +-100
• Performance on recalculating tagged values should be much better since unequipping the item will no longer invoke tags parser

1.9-beta

Extended MCM options. Added administrative page with following options:

• Set debug level (50, 40, 30, 20 or 10). Recommended to keep it at least as 40
• Restart mod
• Uninstall mod. Note, after doing this you will not be able to have expected interactions within the mod because this stops all scripts. This is irreversible.

1.8-beta

• Urgent fix for the tagging switch (wrong MCM mapping in scripts)
• Added checks on disabling the tagging feature via MCM. It will now be impossible to disable it if wearing tagged items (this is a fail safe for the case when user tries to disable tagging when wearing tagged items)
• Added checks on users tag count. If it is already 0, any unequipped tagged items will have no effect (this is a fail safe for the case when user tries to enable tagging when wearing tagged items)

1.7-beta

Added the configurable value restriction on the maximum value that the tagged SA modifier can have (default 10 to a maximum of 20). Added a little bit of clarity to assembler to let user know that creation of a taggable item is completed.

1.6-beta

With the new feature that's introduced F4SE is now a dependency (mod will still work without it in itself, but the tagging feature won't be available). I will rely on F4SE for future updates, thus installing the mod without F4SE is not recommended and I will not accept bug reports related to that.

• Added the tagging functionality, see the description of the feature here. In short: SAF can be now integrated with almost any armor mod without any need of introducing dependency on that mod (or maintaining it in any shape). This feature is experimental and feedback will be necessary to ensure it works properly. It is disabled by default.
• Added MCM page for the mod where you can also see the description of the tagging feature and enable it.

1.4-beta

Fixed a bug when SAF could become concurrent with its own other modules integrations on first run. Improved logging to avoid missing data on the invoking calls.

1.3-beta

Added the social element of NPC reactions (previously existed in SAFI): now the lower Total SA is, the more annoying / rude / hostile generic dialogue lines will be said by NPCs in Diamond City, Goodneighbor and Bunker Hill. And the higher Total SA is, the less there are annoying lines and some nice lines appear.

Fixed: Sex Attributes integration. Previously due to issues with event subscriptions, SAF was only passively reading the changes in FP by itself, but now it properly reacts on the wear change event. Due to that the timer on the main cycle was dramatically increased to only keep it as a backup option.

1.2-beta

Added new API method, getModifierValue - a necessary tool because of the SA values truncating at their minimum / maximum. See the script source for examples and more details. If you're a modder who wants to integrate with SAF, usage of this method is highly encouraged (or maybe it's even a necessity) to avoid bugs when modifying SA values with the intent to later revert those changes.

Added support for Sex Attributes (I hope I got a correct understanding that the mod author is fine with my work; if you're a mod author and are reading this - please feel free to reach out to me if you object, I will remove this integration).

Sexual wear will affect SA for certain body / face parts. Oral wear will affect lips / tongue SA; vaginal wear will affect pussy / belly SA; anal wear will affect butt / back SA. Half of oral wear SA modifier will be applied to face SA; quarter of vaginal & anal wear will be applied to body SA.

1.1-beta

A forward update directed to adding more features:

• Added the self-updating sub-routine, the mod will now ensure old stuff will not be running when the mod is updated
• Improved some logging
• Changed to simpler versioning.

1.0.0-beta

 Brings a huge overhaul of the mod. Will require a new game or cleaning the save from previous versions of SAF in case you have v0.0.* of SAF installed.

Soft dependencies are now fully supported.

It is possible to integrate with SAF without hard dependency on it. Details follow in the main post, here is only the sample snippet:

 Quest SAF_QUST_Kernel   = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x000014C0, "SexAppealFramework.esp") as quest
 ScriptObject SAF_Script = SAF_QUST_Kernel.CastAs("SAF:SAF_Kernel")
 if !SAF_Script
    ; API was not loaded - react on it somehow
       return
 endif

 Var[] updateArgs = new Var[3]
 updateArgs[0]    = target
 updateArgs[1]    = attribute
 updateArgs[2]    = modifier

 float value = SAF_Script.callFunction("modifyAttributeValue", updateArgs) as float
 ; Do something with value / react on change / etc

SAF and SAFI modules are now one mod

Since there is no point in having SAFI separately now that soft dependencies are enabled, they have been merged into one mod. This is not the classic merge of two mods - due to complete rework of SAF, SAFI functionality is being reimplemented from scratch as well.

At the moment, only armor modifications are implemented back from earlier SAFI functionality, but the range of enhancements was doubled (-10 .. 10 up from -5..5)

Added full attributes management

Now the SAF will try its utmost effort to ensure that attributes are consistent. This includes features like thread safety, normalization, boundary checks and caching. More details in the main post. It is still possible to break things, of course, but the idea is that the modder who uses SAF is not an adversary and understand what they are doing.

0.1.0-alpha

• Removed (temporary or permanently) all the SAF modules apart from SAFI until I am sure that all the mod authors are fine with my work.

0.0.16-alpha:

• Added support for Sex Harassment. Sex Appeal can influence approach chances as well as NPC reactions:
  • MCM options for all of the control settings
  • SA influences NPC give up chance (the higher SA is, the less likely will the NPC give up, but can be adjusted and even inverted)

0.0.15-alpha:

• Updated support for AAF Sex'Em Up:
  • Now the added pay will be based on Total Sex Appeal / Face Sex Appeal / Body Sex Appeal instead of Charisma / Agility / Endurance respectively
  • Leveled pay is unchanged
  • Adjusted MCM settings to reflect the new scaling (decreased from 200 to 40 since SA attributes have wider range than S.P.E.C.I.A.L.)
  • Added MCM section for SAF SEU module where it is possible to adjust solicitation thresholds:
    • Solicitation threshold (done against total SA): SA required to even attempt solicitation
    • Persuasion easy threshold (done against face SA): SA required to persuade for reward (easy, first check)
    • Persuasion medium threshold (done against face AND body SA): SA required to further persuade for reward (medium, second check)
    • Persuasion hard threshold (done against face AND body AND total SA): SA required to even further persuade for reward (hard, third check)

0.0.14-alpha:

• AAF Hardship support updated to v0.0.3-alpha:
  • Added MCM support for appearance values threshold. Default is 10 and 50 (so below 10 is ugly, above 50 is beautiful, between them is plain)

0.0.13-alpha:

• Hotfix for AAF Hardship support (wrongly packed scripts)

0.0.12-alpha:

• Added support for AAF Hardship.
  • If this module is installed, you will no longer be able to select the appearance from the BW Settings menu item
  • SAF will kick in on start up and map the total SA to what Hardship is tracking for the appearance. Current values are:
    • SA <= 10 : Ugly
    • 10 < SA <= 50 : Plain
    • SA > 50 : Good looking

0.0.11-alpha:

• Added support for Vtaw Utility Pack

0.0.10-alpha:

• Update for the SAFI module to the version 0.0.6-alpha. Improved social elements of the SAF impact in the game
  • All generic NPC dialogues will progressively disappear with higher SA values (Total SA for most of them)
  • Some unique NPC dialogues are bound for specific SA actor values
  • Low SA will trigger comments about PC ugliness (using only vanilla lines, so nothing was artificially added)

0.0.9-alpha:

• Removed AWKCR requirement for SAFI module

0.0.8-alpha:

• Added integration with Flirty Commonwealth mod as a standalone additional module. For the moment it is only added for Female -> Male version.
  • NPCs will now comment conditionally, not universally as it is in the original mod
  • The more explicit the comment is, the higher is the required SA value check
  • Comments which mention specific body parts will trigger checks against the corresponding SA values
  • All annoying responses will now only be triggered with lower SA (the idea is that if PC is a sexy girl, she will be greeted accordingly and the annoyance will only be shown to PC with low SA)

0.0.7-alpha:

• Minor updates to the main framework file
• Added integration with the XXX Of The Commonwealth mod as a standalone additional module (the same it works for AAF SEU)
  • All magazines will provide a perk that increases a certain body part sex appeal by +5, perk has 12 ranks for each magazine you find
  • Asstoungly Awesome: Butt SA
  • Tits Today: Breasts SA
  • Filth from the Vault: Pussy SA
  • Tales of a Junktown Whore: Hips SA
  • Live & Lust: Nipples SA
  • Massachusetts Smut: Tongue SA

0.0.6-alpha:

• Added the primary effect of sex appeal. The effect is given to the player at the startup as a perk. The perk causes pacification when the player attacks an enemy:
  • 100% pacification of the enemy with SA = 100
  • 50% pacification of the enemy when 66 < SA <= 99
  • 25% pacification of the enemy when  33 < SA <= 66
  • 12.5% pacification of the enemy when 0 < SA <=33
  • The enemy will enter a cooldown state when pacified, but they are pacified for a very long time. This prevents from locking them in the pacified state but will hold them pacified so long as PC does not attack them anymore
• SA is the total sex appeal
• Pacification percentage is designed according to the current possibility of raising SA meaning that even past 66 SA isn't doable without resorting to console for now, so the chance for regular gameplay will be 12.5% most of the times or 25% with chems / modded armor

0.0.5-alpha:

• Updated the main framework file to v0.0.3-alpha; the only change is the name of the effects that are handling the core attributes dependencies
• Updated the framework integration file to v0.0.3-alpha; there are some significant additions:
  • New effects were added to orchestrate sex appeal effects through vanilla perks, radiation and limbs state:
  • Radiation will cause losing 10 to total sex appeal for each 100 rads capping at -50 total sex appeal. If PC has less than 10 rads, they will get +5 bonus to total sex appeal
  • Limbs condition will affect the corresponding sex appeal values:
    • Left/Right hand condition at 100% boosts arms, palms and fingers sex appeal by +5
    • Left/Right leg condition at 100% boosts legs, ankles and feet sex appeal by +5
    • Head condition at 100% boosts face sex appeal by +5
    • Left/Right hand condition at 66%..99% causes -10 to fingers sex appeal; at 33%..66% causes -10 to palms sex appeal; at 0..33% causes -10 to arms sex appeal
    • Left/Right leg condition at 66%..99% causes -10 to feet sex appeal; at 33%..66% causes -10 to ankles sex appeal; at 0..33% causes -10 to legs sex appeal
  • Some perks will now affect sex appeal. For now these are:
    • Ghoulish will negatively affect face, body and total sex appeal progressively
    • Party Boy/Party Girl will positively affect face, body and total sex appeal progressively
    • Female companion perks will grant different sex appeal bonuses (Piper: Face SA, Cait: Body SA, Curie: Total SA)
    • Quick Hands will boost hands-related sex appeal attributes
    • This will not conflict with any mods that affect perks except that the perks descriptions may be inaccurate in that case (but the effect will still work)
  • SAF Integration will now also enforce all the dependencies on startup

0.0.4-alpha:

• Updated the main framework file. Now the dependency between attributes will be enforced on startup. The dependency is managed via the table which is described in the main post - it brings the multi-layered idea of appeal actor attributes where lower tier attributes influence higher tier ones.

0.0.3-alpha:

• Update for the Integration module. Now all the Chems with a duration will influence different Sex Appeal attributes. The philosophy here is:
  • The stronger the chem, the stronger is the negative bonus / the weaker is the positive bonus
  • Basic versions of chems (Mentats, Buffout etc) influence more stats than their upgraded version - again, because they're weaker
  • Combined chems inherit traits of both parent chems, but only partially
  • Combat-oriented chems usually decrease sex appeal values
  • All alcoholic drinks give flat -5 to Face Sex Appeal
  • Some rare chems will give much stronger bonuses
• All Chems effects scale up with the Chem perks as they are part of the extension for vanilla / DLC chems
• Food / Drinks are unaffected

0.0.2-alpha:

• Added a shallow support for AAF Sex'em Up
• Supports Solicitation only for now. The support is on a basic level:
  • Instead of Charisma-based normal speech checks, the corresponding options availability is checked via SAF actor values:
  • To even try to solicit, PC must have SAF_Sex_Appeal_Face AV >=25
  • Easy pay add (first bonus) is replaced with the check SAF_Sex_Appeal_Face AV >=50
  • Medium pay add (second bonus) is replaced with the check SAF_Sex_Appeal_Face AV >=75 && SAF_Sex_Appeal_Body AV >=75
  • Hard pay add (third bonus) is replaced with the check SAF_Sex_Appeal_AV >=90 & SAF_Sex_Appeal_Face AV >=90 && SAF_Sex_Appeal_Body AV >=90
• All checks are done on the player dialogue choices first meaning that if the conditions aren't met - the choice won't appear; it also means that the NPC cannot say "no" to these choices as the check is done in advance
  • Recommended to use XDI with this because otherwise there will be awkward empty dialogue entries.
• The support is "shallow" because the pay options will still rely on what the AAF SEU has built-in (bonus added from charisma/agility/endurance/level). For now I have no clue in regards to how to decompile / reattach / recompile scripts in game, nor is it possible in F4Edit to my experience.
