WhoreCraft SSE 1.4.0

WhoreCraft is an attempt at balancing and to allow for new and fun ways to progress when playing LL mods. To this end it provides an overarching way to tie SexLab into the RPG mechanics of Skyrim. This mod is as lightweight and modular as i can make it and tries to give agency to the user whereever possible. It should be compatible with any other mods.

 

Good day LL!

 

To achieve the above WhoreCraft provides modular options so you can choose whichever feature you want.

1. Integrating SexLab with level progression

2. Allowing progression in the craft by providing a perk tree.

3. Providing starting optionals to make for a more realistic whore.

4. Adding achievements as animated on screen pop-ups

 

General Gameplay

As a whole this will make the games combat much harder because you will level through SexLab events and level quicker than you can increase your skills. In particular if you use stuff like defeat, SL survival or just avoid combat by whoring yourself out/being enslaved. It will thusly (sort of) eliminate the need for combat mods as to reduce script stress in combat situations.

It will provide a sense of progression that is not tied to an MCM menu and allow low level characters some reprieve from harsh stamina punishments. The perk tree is designed to facilitate or support a number of playstyles that incorporate SexLab, while the achievements are meant to encourage exploration or just a fun surprise.

It does well with mods that impose restrictions on your character such as SL survival, Slaverun or Devious Devices/Devious Lore and allows to balance around consensual and non-consensual events in order to continue leveling fast but also prevent a runaway level effect.

 

1. Integrating SexLab into level progression

With Experience Mod:

In essence the Experience mod decouples skill gain from level progression. When your skills level up, your character won't. Experience records other events such as discovering locations, slain enemies or completing quests to advance the players level.

WhoreCraft will allow you to gain experience for every SexLab event the player is involved in. This will enable level progression for non-combat playthroughs and also when the player uses sex to defeat enemies. It also allows to either gain no experience or lose experience if the player is the victim in a SexLab event and also weigh experience gain by a couple of other factors.

Without Experience Mod:

Player can also choose to gain a skill increase for every SexLab event he takes part in instead of Experience integration. Skill increases will be granted in either Speech, Pickpocket, Lockpicking, Alchemy or Restoration and can not exceed skill level 100.

 

2. Providing a perk tree

Allows for purchase of perks via standard perk points. Open via MCM hotkey or lesser power. As is the theme with WhoreCraft the tree is also of a modular nature.

It consists of three branches and a base. Each branch is meant to provide an interactive element to a particular playstyle (or, of course, support however you want to play).

Branch 1 - Serial Whore

This centers around Go With The Flow (GWTF) which gives a 5-minute buff everytime the player has sex. GWTF can be improved by the surrounding Prowess perks.

Oral/Anal/Vaginal Prowess are each triggered by having sex with the corresponding animation tag. Each have their own effect they add to GWTF for a duration of 3 minutes. Gaining the effect of one the Prowess perks refreshes the duration of all other active Prowess buffs. GWTF also provides gold for every consensual encounter and the amount of pay is based on the number of active Prowess buffs and the used animation tag. The gold amount can be changed via MCM to allow the user to fit it into every type of custom economy.

Branch 2 - Freedom Fighter

Meant to enable a weak adventurer type playstyle. If the player is the victim in an encounter and within 10 seconds enters combat gain the Meltdown buff for 30 seconds. Meltdown is designed to allow for unlimited aggression in combat and get revenge on whatever got the best of you. It will buff damage values and provide a big increase to the players health pool so you can straight up charge at the enemy. Here you will also find some Lockpicking or Sneak buffs in order to get around (and stay free).

Branch 3 - The Saiyan

Is for players who weaponize SexLab events and centers around Berserk. Firstly it buffs the player at the start of an aggressive encounter and provides increased Speed and Damage after the fact. Berserk like Meltdown is a multi-tiered perk.

In Total

The tree contains 19 fully working perks which require 25 perk points to unlock. I have taken the liberty to already include a few additional locked perks, which will be implemented at a later date. Though in my opinion the core functioniality is in a good spot.

Looking for someone who can provide a .nif file that replaces the perk tree background with one the framework can use (credit where credit is due). I suck with visual stuff.

 

3. Modifiying starting skills/stats and balancing

Being a whore but starting with a decent ability to wield two handed weapons? Yeah, no. WhoreCraft will allow you to whorify your skills.

All skills except Speech (20), Pickpocket (15), Lockpicking (15), Restoration (5) and Alchemy (5) will be set to 1.

This does not account for any racial bonus and those will be overwritten.

You can also modify your starting stats (whimsify me in MCM) by -20 Health and -40 Magicka/Stamina (though if you have survival use that one)

 

I've tried to include the important variables in MCM and to allow for user manipulation. You can get an overview of the smaller tweaks available from the provided screenshots at the top.

If you have an idea of a feature that could benefit from MCM integration, tell me and i will try to make it happen.

 

4. Adding achievements

WhoreCraft adds at total of 84 achievements. 42 are unique and have no tiers. The remaining 7 achievements have 6 tiers.

The achievements are animated on screen pop-ups. There is a .gif in the screenshot section. They also come with sound effects.

The tiered perks can be viewed in MCM, There you will see information on how to get them and your progress to the next tier.

I wanted the hidden achievements to happen organically when playing. While not hard to earn they are scattered around the world. Once a hidden achievement has been earned it will be added to the pertaining MCM page.

(if you absolutely must know there is a .txt in the archive)

 

Special thanks go to the LL admins for granting me permission to use the logo and to DaemonPrime for making the framework to add UI elements without flash. The framework is plug and play install wise and has only SkyUI as requirement.

For the on screen achievements get the framework here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/36457

 

Installation & Updating:

Just install with your mod manager. Make sure to check dependencies.

If the perk tree is not showing then the framework is not setup right (hint binkw64, pre loading).

In new games it would be safest to configure via MCM after SexLab is installed.

 

Due to its nature i suggest starting a new game but it should work fine on any character.

 

When updating make a note of your current skill level then enter the following into the console:

stopquest WhoreCraftInit

startquest WhoreCraftInit

This will re-initialize the mod, though sadly by updating already counted stats will be reset (except for SexCount) and Skill Level will also be reset.

set WhoreCraftFemale_SkillLevel to amount

This will restore your previous level, where amount is the level you had previously.

Then go into MCM and reconfigure your settings

Lastly make a hardsave and reload

 

Console:

set WhoreCraftFemale_Tree to 1 will show the skill tree

set WhoreCraftFemale_SkillLevel to 1-100 will adjust the skill level

 

Conflicts:

Nothing yet.

If any feature is not working for you and you suspect a conflict, disable it and let me know.

 

Uninstall?
I don't know. Disabling everything in MCM will render it basically inert.

If you absolutely must you can try fallrim tools until i get an uninstall routine in. But you know the drill, it's very much use at your own risk.

 

Bugs?

Yeah probably. I've done a decent amount of testing but am just one person. Report a bug and i will do my best to get rid of it.

 

Oldrim?

1.3.1 was reported working with a simple resave of the plugin in CK. If anyone wants to convert and upload it, go ahead.

 

Future plans?

High priority:

include an update routine to save stats and achievements (promise it's the next thing i do)

Med priority:

Finish the last couple of perks, but the tree is in a good spot right now (i think).

Low priority:

Create a plugin that contains and empty perk tree that can be used to add your own custom trees.

Add the perk tree branches to MCM so people without the framework can use them

Use iWant Widgets to create custom on-screen achievement popups related to SexLab and WhoreCraft stats

Create a small amount of STD's

 

So enough BS. Go be a good... or bad slave and take the LL Experience to the next level (yeah, sorry couldn't help myself).

 

To people who know papyrus:

Always looking for a way to get rid of the ConsoleUtil dependency (player.advlevel amount).

 

License

If at any point i do not respond within a reasonable amount of time: Consider this up for adoption. This mod is a thank you to the LL community. As such it should stay here.
