About This File
Earn configurable experience points for having sex (through AAF).
Why would I want this?
Because your character has a lot of sex and you want to level up faster? At the very least, you want a little compensation for time spent on your knees.
Personally I think this mod is best for play styles that are lighter on combat and heavier on sex. At the extreme end, that style might even stem from a prostitution scenario mod like Hardship, where XP is otherwise pretty hard to come by. Furthermore, not only is the bonus XP useful as an indirect source of self esteem for Sex Attributes, but SexEd also now includes the option to directly grant self esteem from consensual sex!
Isn't there another mod with a similar effect?
Lucrative Augments includes one augment that grants experience points for sex. Sex Education simply provides a more configurable version of this effect in a stand-alone package.
Features and Other Gritty Details
This mod works for any player gender and AAF animation, except for animations tagged hugging, dancing, or pose (kissing tags may be excluded in the MCM). Player can be pitching, catching, licking, spanking, or anything in between; XP will be granted as long as you are an actor in the animation. However, masturbation gives no XP. You only learn with at least one partner!
Sex Education includes the following MCM settings:
Mod On/Off: Master switch that will disable sex-based XP entirely.
Base XP Per Partner: Amount of baseline experience granted by each partner in an animation. For example, an animation with yourself and three partners will grant three helpings of baseline experience (one per partner) at the end of the animation. Any modifiers from Advanced Mode settings will apply to this value.
Sex Ed Mode: Two modes are available. Simple Mode is very straightforward, and grants baseline XP for each partner, every time, with no other modifiers. Advanced Mode will adjust earned XP based on the settings found under Advanced Mode Settings.
Allow XP For Kissing Tag: Some sex animations include kissing tag too. Player may choose whether to exclude animations with this tag from granting experience.
Advanced Mode Settings
XP Decay For Similar Partner: As long as Advanced Mode is active, Sex Education will dynamically track the number of sexual encounters with each combination of race type and gender (i.e. human male, ghoul female, supermutant male, etc). Each encounter with the same race/gender combination will provide slightly less XP based on this setting. This XP reduction is additive, not multiplicative. For example: using the default setting of 2%, after three encounters with a human male, the XP for the next encounter with a human male would be reduced by 6% (2+2+2).
Please note that the decay will eventually reach 100% reduction, granting zero XP unless you use a Minimum XP Per Partner setting greater than zero. Lastly, none of the races are hard coded; Sex Education will properly track every race type separately, including any DLC creatures or custom races used in animations.
Group Sex XP Modifier: Is your character the type who would learn more from a foursome than from banging three partners one by one? Or would they be too distracted and maybe learn a little less? With this setting, every simultaneous partner beyond the first will increase (or decrease) the total XP for the sexual encounter by your chosen amount.
Aggressive Sex XP%: Animations tagged “aggressive” can have their total XP adjusted here. Default setting is 50% as much XP as you'd earn for a non-aggressive animation. This default assumes you're the unfortunate recipient of aggressive sex, meaning you're less like a participant and more like a half-willing communal repository. However, if your character is the type to initiate aggressive sex on some poor captive, or if you feel your character could stand to “learn their place” in a more literal sense, this setting can be turned all the way up to 200%. Alternatively, this can be set to negative values if you prefer to actually lose experience.
Allow XP Loss Below Current Level: This setting can prevent XP falling below the current level minimum. Please note that you will not actually lose levels or perks, nor drop below 1 XP, regardless of settings.
Prevent/Allow FO4 XP Restoration: If player experience falls below their current level, FO4's engine will try to restore the difference in XP when you load a save. This MCM option can either allow or prevent that default behavior. The “Prevent” option means SexEd will track and store your experience whenever you open the menu. If it detects a higher experience value upon loading a save, SexEd will restore the last saved value.
Fellow Pitchers XP%: Players in the pitcher role (e.g. giver, fucker, penis/strapon donor) will always earn full XP from the catcher (e.g. receiver, fuckee, penis/strapon storage unit). If multiple pitchers are utilizing the same catcher in an animation, what percent of XP do you want to earn from the additional pitchers? I recommend leaving this value at 100% if you are usually the catcher in animations; that way you won't lose XP for edge cases where a group animation has a more ambiguous pitcher/catcher dynamic.
Minimum XP Per Partner: With the various Advanced Mode settings above, it's possible to reach a point where an encounter would grant zero XP. This setting ensures that you'll always earn at least some XP per partner, regardless of any other factors.
Mod Integration Settings
AAF Spectators XP On/Off: If AAF Spectators is installed, you can gain experience for being watched during sex. Any observers called by AAF Spectators will grant XP. This even works in simple mode or solo animations. Now you can level up by masturbating for a crowd!
Base XP Per Observer: Amount of baseline experience granted by each AAF Spectators observer.
XP% Reduction Per Extra Observer: Percent to reduce baseline experience earned from each AAF Spectators observer beyond the first. Values are additive.
Apply Aggressive Tag XP Modifier: If Advanced Mode is active, experience earned from AAF Spectators observers can be modified by the “Aggressive Sex XP%” setting.
Treat Raped/Rapist Flags as Aggressive: Various popular mods (e.g. Violate, SEU, MCG, Sexual Harassment, and others) include community standardized indicators when initiating AAF scenes. Player may choose to treat PlayerRaped and PlayerRapist flagged scenes as aggressive, regardless of animation tags.
Treat Consensual Flag as Non-Aggressive: Similar to the previous MCM option, player may choose to treat Consensual flagged scenes as non-aggressive, regardless of animation tags.
Self Esteem for Consensual Sex: If you have Sex Attributes installed, SexEd can grant a small amount of self esteem every time you have consensual sex.
Hardcore XP Mode
Hardcore XP Mode On/Off: When activated, any XP gained (outside of SexEd itself) can be reduced to nearly zero.
Hardcore XP% Earned: Adjusts the percentage of XP gained from sources other than SexEd.
Requirements
-Vanilla Fallout 4 (no DLCs needed)
-AAF with working animations. Sex Education contains no animations of its own.
-MCM, for mod settings and overall function.
-Tags for your animations (soft requirement). The main effect of missing tags will be a non-working Aggressive Sex XP% setting. I recommend installing AAF Themes. Alternatively, you can use animations that are tagged by the author, like those made by SavageCabbage (1.2.4+) and BP70 (2.7+). Certain patches add, revise, or substitute their own tags as well.
-Optional Requirement: AAF Spectators. If installed, integration settings can be used to earn XP when NPCs watch you have sex.
-Optional Requirement: Sex Attributes. If installed, integration settings can be used to earn self esteem after consensual sex.
Known Issues
-Gen 3 synths all use human race, so they'll be tracked as one race type instead of separately. Arguably, that's how they should be treated anyway...
-If a player animation starts while a separate NPC animation is in progress, player may receive XP credit for the NPC's spectators (when using AAF Spectators integration).
My Thanks To
-kinggath, who I cannot praise enough for his incredibly detailed and informative “Bethesda Mod School” series on YouTube. Don't stab around in the dark, go learn from his hundreds (thousands?) of hours of modding experience.
-EgoBallistic, twistedtrebla, and Nebuchadnezzer2, all of whose excellent scripting I studied, scoured, pondered, and otherwise picked apart to figure out how to make my mods hum.
-Double secret bonus thanks to Nebuchadnezzer2, whose top notch Cum Overlays mod had such a good AAF listening structure that I tried my best not to just plagiarize it directly (and partially succeeded) ?.
-Special thanks to the AAF Help discord for sorting me out back when I was a wide-eyed newbie, to whom the secrets of mod-making were akin to sorcery.
-Honorable mention to Saya_Scarlett for the often thankless work of maintaining the definitive AAF Fucking Manual.
