About This File
There are rumors around Skyrim: the devious curse, loot was inflicted with, has altered itself. No adventurer will be safe anymore!
The twisted new effect of this mad magic affects now every single piece of clothing. They may be devious mimics now, transforming itself into restrictive items as soon as an unwary person tries to wear them. Some say, this even may happen while trying to unequip those mimics or even randomly while being worn, giving only false safety anymore to every armored adventurer out there ...

What this mod does
This mod is intended as an extension to the popular mod Deviously Cursed Loot by Kimy.
It tries to randomly transform worn pieces of armor into Devious Devices, giving only safety in nudity.
Â
Requirements
- SKSEÂ - SE/AE build, fitting your game version
- Skyrim SE/AEÂ or GOG
- SexLab Framework (v1.63 for SE / v1.65 for AE)
- SexLab Aroused - several variations provide AE support, examples
- Devious Devices v5.2+
Â
Compatibility
- Mod added armors - should interpret them correctly as long as they affect the correct body region
- DD For Him - included in DD 5.0, if active it will allow mimics for male characters
- DCUR -Â if active, it may start DCUR events if a mimic didn't get the chance
- Alternate start mods - mimics work only after start quest "Unbound" is finished
- ZAP - checks for ZAP device keyword, should work with all versions
- Toys - checks for Toy keyword and ignores them
There are several checks included to make sure no "technical helper" item (invisible items mods equip to check certain character states) is affected, though as this mod is created with a blacklist approach, some items always may fall though the grid. Just inform me then, so I can check if I can add a fix
Â
Features
- Armor mod friendly body region tracking
- Several events to trigger mimics
- Tracks worn status and respects enchantments
- Several third party triggers possible, if respective mod is installed
- Toggle for survival mod friendly gags, to allow eating and drinking
- Highly customizable by MCM, including settings export functionality
Â
What doesn't work
- Follower support got removed in v4.0
- May have some bugs
Â
Additional info
For modders
I've added an event hook for you to trigger mimics and do stuff based on the outcome. As it's event driven, you won't even need to add my mod as requirement!
Details can be found in the file dmcExternalEvents.psc, there's explained what you need to send with your event handle and how to catch results
Â
How to help
When you come across any problems (you hopefully won't), it could help if you attach a Papyus log to your message. First, search for the following lines in your Skyrim.ini
[Papyrus] bEnableLogging = 1 bEnableTrace = 1 bLoadDebugInformation = 1
If you cannot find them, add them. If they are set to zero, change them to one. This also will automatically enable debug logging for this mod, so the file should contain the messages.
For normal play-throughs I suggest to keep those settings disabled! This will disable debug logging for this mod, too, which may result in higher responsiveness.
Â
You'll then find the logs in [User]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Logs\Script\User\dmcMimicClothes.X.log
Add the needed file, together with the related general Papyrus log (fitting numbers) and a detailed description of your problem!
