and all the others out there involved in making sexing chaurus a thing people do in skyrim.
The requirements for this mod
+Dragonborn
+Estrus Charus+
+Chaurus Life (port or find a port to SSE on loverslab)
+all mods required by the above.
----------
Now, for the main event. I can not script to save my life. However, I can screw around in xedit (Tessedit) to make stuff. This mod attempts to make some simple edits in xedit, to kind of be a super, duper basic alpha to the concepts expressed here:
https://www.loverslab.com/blogs/entry/13182-malas-insights-chaurus-egg-studies-a-treatsie/
and
https://www.loverslab.com/topic/169850-mod-idearequest-chaurus-takeover-of-skyrim-mainland/
-----
This mod, works like this - I have tested it on my setup and it appears to work. This mod adds a few things in bold:
This mod does not change any scripts. Was made entirely in xedit.
1)
Player gets preggo via Estrus Chaurus.
Player gives birth to a clutch of Chaurus Eggs via EC+
Some Eggs hatch via EC+
WHAT hatches, (changed some keyword type stuff) is the Chaurus Nymph from CL. the Nymph is the "baby" in CL.
CL then picks up the nymph - and you can watch your pack grow.
TLDR:
1) Fuck a bug, birth an egg. Grow a hive, and take their deposits to make new hives
2) adds a staff - called Chaurus queen staff.
Version 1.5: youll just have to summon it in via console.. help queen 4 would probably find it.
Version 2 only:
+ This staff is buildible. check your crafting stations. The queens staff requires a staff frame and chaurus eggs. The staff frame requires chaurus chittin and chaurus molt from CL mod.
+ the staff is rechargeable by taking the staff to the crafting station, and combining it with more eggs.
So essentially, this staff- comes at a cost. It comes at a cost of dead chaurus, at the cost of potentially viable eggs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
warnings:
1) this mod does not change or add scripts.
2) use ESP explorer at your own risk. I don't know why there would be problems, but whatever..
3) I made the staff using 100% Skyrim assets, therefore, I have no copyright stake.
4) LOAD order - probably place this mod AFTER everything that this mod requires..
5) I want to know if my modifications work, but I will not ever likely add anything else, anytime soon.. so kind of a one and done. Unless I didnt use xedit correctly with overwrite stuff for the mod.
LEt me know if it works.
Bear in mind, this simply bridges EC+ to CL. So, verify settings for EC+ and CL are set correctly, and you have read those mod pages about how there mods work..
I have, and on my setup, I now have a Hive tyrant from CL, that started out as a egg birthed by EC+, and I was impregnated by the Chaurus from my staff.
If you want to do something with this- as far as i am concerned- have at it i guess, or get permissions from EC/CL / something..
Install:
Install everything else first, install this after everything else.
Version Control:
Version 1 is the early version: Requires untamed. I will be pulling this version soon.
Version 1.5 is same as version 1, but no longer requires untamed.
Version 2: In Progress- Complete Tested everything on my end and seems to work as intended.
Version 3: TBD hopeful spoilers - not guarentees
a) a custom made statue
b) a custom sacrifical breeding chamber
c) a way to plant eggs and spread throughout skyrim
d) a way to "invade" other cities
e) i may include a mating call aspect as well.
caution will require 2 different mods
warning, I will likely be deleting version 1 when i upload version 3

What's New in Version 2.0
Released
Version 2.0 is a break from previous versions in a few ways. I dont know that it should interfere with any saves or anything but here are the changes:
Part of the goal of course was to work on bridging a few of the chaurus mods here together, to make it easier to say play a broodmother type play through.
and also work to unify the lore and so on. So here are the changes- and a reason or two.
In Chaurus Life, the authors lore is that there are several stages and development of the chaurus through different forms. 2 of those forms are incapable of breeding. (Nymph and Worker).. IN order to change this- I added the sexlabforbiddenactor faction to nymphs and workers.
Estrus chaurus+ when the eggs you give birth to hatch - they now hatch into nymphs - and as mentioned above -nymphs can not breed.
But have no fear, as the chaurus that just hatched, are now under the chaurus umbrella- so give them time, grow the hive and eventually you should be able to fuck them!
I have made the Chaurus Queen staff craftable.
The staff summons a hunter to help or fuck you.
but it comes at a cost. To make the staff, to recharge the staff, you have to sacrifice chaurus eggs.. 20 eggs to be exact. Are you willing to sacrafice potential children for the sake of the staff?
TLDR:
Added forbidden actor to nymphs and workers
made the queens staff craftable.
obviously version 2 incorporates the changes from previous versions as well.
