Immersive Hair Growth and Styling (YPS Devious & Immersive Fashion 2025-06-08) 6.9.2

In order of importance:

• write male thoughts (at least for basic conditions like isincombat, the different loctypes …, and also general thoughts)
• add more thoughts (no need to be voiced; you also don't need to add voice numbers, because I have a tool to do that conveniently)
• share item configuration json data
• look for errors in hair style configuration (it is much easier to navigate through the hairstyle catalog now!)
• look for problems in the thought database (typos, strange sentences)

• Yolie and Tris (Radiant Raiment, Solitude)
• Ybella (Dibella’s Temple, Markarth)
• Yorcyn (Arcadia's Cauldron, Whiterun)
• Yorga (Haelga's Bunkhouse, Riften)
• Yolia (The White Phial, Windhelm)
• Yolfa (Gray Pine Goods, Falkreath)
• Ylda (Moorside Inn, Morthal)
• Ywind (Mortar and Pestle, Dawnstar)
• Ysla (Birna's Oddments, Winterhold)
• Yvra (Vilemyr Inn, Ivarstead)

• Ynett (Morvayn Manor, Solstheim).

Head hair will slowly grow over 21 stages, from bald to "rapunzel length". At default speed, you need to wait for 1-3 in-game months before you reach the next hair length stage.
At each hair length stage, a different selection of hairstyles becomes available. About 1000 hair styles from "KS Hairdo's" and some other hair mods are preconfigured (you still need to install the original hair mods though). There are different kinds of hairstyles:

• Default hairstyles: -- This is what you see when the mod starts, or when your hair grows. There is exactly one per length stage, typically a vanilla or KS Hairdo. These are applied once your hair grows to a longer stage. Default hairstyles are preconfigured as straight hairstyles. You can also define custom hairstyles as default hairstyles (which may for example be curly); see section below on "how to configure...". By default, this mod will use random "standard hairstyles" of a given length instead of "default hairstyles" (custom configuration for default hairstyles can be enabled in MCM).
• Standard hairstyles: -- This is what you get when you use "Shampoo". A selection of (straight) hairstyles. If you currently have the default hairstyle or another standard hairstyle, you may style your hair yourself to any standard (or the default) hairstyle at any time. A hairdresser can help you as well.
• Permed hairstyles: Special curly hairstyles. May only be applied by hairdresser. If permed, you can no longer style your hair to a standard style. You need to wait for a (configurable) amount of days, until you can perm your hair again or ask the hairdresser to remove your perm, or (optional) get your permed hair cut away.
• Braids: May be applied by yourself using "Elastic Hairband", if you hair is long enough, and you have a default/standard hair style. May be removed at any time by yourself.
• Ponytails: works exactly the same as braids. Pinned-up hair counts as ponytail.
• Buzzed nape: A special set of hairstyles, only available for ear, neck and shoulder length. May only be applied by a hairdresser. May not be styled by yourself. To remove a “buzzed nape”, you need to let your hair grow to armpit length, or ask the hairdresser to cut it to ear length (or shorter).
• Mohawk: May only be applied by a hairdresser. May not be styled by yourself. Will require constant shaving of your head sides. Only way to remove a mohawk is to get your head completely shaved. May cause a fashion debuff (see Fashion Addiction below).

Upon mod initialization, you may choose your natural hair color, which is then permanent. Later you can get a hair dye from a hairdresser, which will fade or grow out over time (can be configured in MCM).
Player needs to sit down for a hair makeover or a professional manicure session (ever got a perm done while running around?); once you have chosen your style, you have about 25 seconds to find a chair, or you need to start over again.

The following items can be purchased from any YPS vendor (all have unlimited uses):

• Shampoo: A must have! Used to style your default or standard hair to another standard hairstyle. Has no effect on other hairstyles (though you can wash your hair with it).
• Elastic Hair Band: A must have for longer hair styles! Used to style your hair as a ponytail or a braid.
• Brush: Used to revert a standard/braided/ponytail hairstyle to the default hairstyle. Has no effect on other hairstyles (though you can comb/brush your hair with it).
• Shaving Knife and Shaving Cream: Can be used to shave your head (or body hair - see below). Works only, if you have "long stubbles" or shorter hair; otherwise you need to find a hairdresser.
• Hairstyle Catalog: Used to browse through all configured hairstyles and colors.
• Mirror: An absolute must have! Get information about your current hair status, piercing status, makeup status, and fashion addiction / body hair status.

Any YPS fashion vendor will also inform you about your status upon demand.

"Hairstyle model" and random styles:

- When starting a hair makeover, you can choose to become a "hairstyle model": this will grant a random hair style free of charge, which you’ll have to wear for a while; in MCM can set hair makeover lock period, minimum hair length kept by the hair stylist, and chance to get a mohawk.
- in the hair style, hair length, and hair color menus you can also pick the choice option "random"

- in the hair makeover menu, you can only pick the new hair length and let the hairdresser make all other choices for you

Some items are for debugging/testing, and can be obtained via console:

help <item name>

player.additem <item hex-code> 1

Generally, this mod assumes that you have natural straight (or slightly wavy hair). If you prefer naturally curled hair, you may set up your own set of custom hairstyles.
When choosing a hair makeover, make sure that corresponding hairstyles are available. By default, short hair cannot be braided or made into a ponytail. Permed hair is not available for very short hair lengths.


Compatible with all 3rd party hairstyle mods! This mod comes with about 1000 preconfigured hairstyles (you will still need to install these hair mods to access these styles):

LE STYLES:
- KS Hairdos (about 870 styles of all lengths and kinds, but no narrow mohawks; this is a strongly recommended add-on to this mod)

Some of these hair configuration files are not entirely complete (which causes no problems).

Some of the hair configuration files only appear in later versions of the YPS mod; you can copy the json files over to earlier versions. Hair style config files from the full versions work also with the LITE versions, without any problems.

How to configure alternate default styles, custom hair and other 3rd party hairstyle mods (this is for experienced users only, and generally not required):

A collection of alternate json files based only on short and on SMP styles can be found here.

Check out here on how to make hair styling work for vampires (still buggy).

Since v. 6.7.3 hair length will affect game attributes (can be turned off in MCM):

Short hair gives a buff to carry weight and fire resistance, as well as a debuff to cold resistance and fashion. Long hair does the opposite.

Fashion also affects the speech skill.

"Rapunzel curse": This is an internal feature, without any content yet. It will set the hairgrowth speed to 2000x (overriding MCM settings). To activate the curse, use the console command "set ypsRapunzelCurse to 1".

- You may no longer wear piercings, unless you got your corresponding body parts pierced.
- Different healing stages with immersive messages: During the early healing stages you will only be able to wear stud piercings. At later stages you may wear *all* kinds of piercings. Eventually your piercings will become permanent.
- “Pierced Ears” quest line leading you to Radiant Raiment (Solitude).
- Custom configuration via MCM menu.
- 3rd party mods are not required to get your body pierced (any slot).
- Compatible with earrings and other piercings from most popular mods.
- Will prevent users from wearing two or more piercings in the same body part at the same time.
- There is small chance that piercings will slip from your body and drop to the ground (If enabled in MCM menu; default = disabled).
- To prevent dropping, you can get your piercings soldered to your body.
- You may take on credit from the Dibella Beauty Fund for piercing costs; you still have to pay your debts back as soon as you have money in your pocket, so be careful

- Includes: "SlaveTats" piercing items for all piercing slots.
-- They come as "MiscItems" (Clutter) and can be bought from Yolie in Radiant Raiment (Solitude) and the other vendors as "boxed" piercing items.
-- Just click on the box to equip them.
-- If equipping is successful, an "empty piercing box" will be returned.
-- Click on the empty box to unequip a piercing item from a slot of your choice.

- Includes: "Earring Backs"
-- They also come "boxed". Click on the box to equip them.
-- Wearing earring backs prevents earrings from dropping (see also MCM configuration).
-- Works with boxed "SlaveTats" earrings, as well as standard earrings from 3rd party mods.
-- When removing your earrings, the boxed earring backs will be returned.

- Features: "Earlobe Holes"
-- When your earlobes are pierced and you are not wearing an earring, "earlobe holes" will show as slave tats.
-- Earlobe holes color is configurable in MCM.
-- Earlobe holes will close when your earlobes heal up.
(Note: "backs" and "holes" are only available for earlobes; adding them to all piercing slots would require too many resources; cf. section on nioverride layers below)

Standard nail polish:

- You can apply nail polish from nail polish bottles available in several places in Skyrim, e.g. from YPS fashion vendors.
- NPCs will comment on your nails and earrings.
- Nailpolish can also be applied as toenail polish. For the toenail polish it is required to install SlaveTats 1.1.1 or higher. 2 hand and foot tattoo slots (each) will be used by this mod!
- With SlaveTats installed, application of fingernail and toenail polish will show up progressively, nail by nail. (In MCM you can choose "fast nail polish application" to speed things up.)
- Animations for nail polish application.

- there is a nail polish guide book sold from YPS vendors

- for SE users it's recommended to install "Sha's Equipable Hand Nails - Version YPS (SE only).7z" from the download section of this mod (activate the esp, it's esl flagged), as these nails are looking better. This download also contains the file ypsNailpolishItems.json, where you can configure other nail items for the various nail polish bottles (this configuration works also for LE).

Additional nail care items:

- nail polish base coat and top coat: To be used on your fingers or toes before/after applying nail polish. Fast drying. Using one type of nail coat extends the duration of nail polish by 40%; using both base and top coat extends the duration by 80%.
- nail cuticle remover: to be used before applying base coat and nail polish. Extends nail polish duration by an additional 20%.
- using cuticle remover + base coat + top coat when doing fingernails will give the "perfect manicure" buff (increases magical skills, decreases manual skills; and there is a chance to drop small items when trying to pick them up). This buff will also be granted when getting nails professionally done.

Professional nail polish:
- Professional manicure sessions are available (only for fingernails). Nail sessions are very realistic, including application of nail tip extensions, base color, and finishing touches. Ask any of the fashion vendors.

- UIExtensions is needed to fully enjoy the nail sessions.

- Finger nail polish items can be freely configured in the file ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json, according to shape, length, color and nail art style. Works with any mod that provides fingernails as equippable items (regardless of item slot).

- Set the speed (= duration) of professional nail sessions in MCM. Quick nail polish application is almost immediate, slow application will take very long (might be over 10 minutes real time), but slow application is very realistic, fun and immersive.
- Professionally manicured nails will cause fashion and stat (de)buffs, depending on nail tip length: Magical abilities are increased, manual stats decreased.
- When trying to pick up small items while wearing long nails, the player has to face two challenges: (1) "fumbling" around (= playing a short animation) and (2) dropping the items to the ground. The likelihood for this to happen can be set in MCM separately.
- To extend the duration of professional manicure, you can get a refill session.
- Player can choose to be a nail model: Player will get her nails done for free, and receive nails of random length, style and color chosen by the manicurist. Player must wear this nail style until the color chips off. Free refills are available.
- When professional manicure with nail extensions wears off, player will enter the "Broken Nail Tip" state, reducing the nail buffs, while the debuffs stay in place. Refills are still possible.
- "Broken Nail Tips" will eventually drop from the players hands, causing a "Damaged Nails" debuff, which will last as long as the professional manicure. - Players with "Damaged Nails" cannot use nail polish on their own, but can get a professional manicure session to rebuild their nails
- When wearing nail extensions, player cannot wear gloves or gauntlets (except those flagged with the keyword ypsFingerlessGloves). There is a KID configuration file in the YPS mod, adding the ypsFingerlessGloves to all appropriate vanilla items; you can just edit it adding your own items, or use the "add fingerless keyword plugin mod (YPSNailKYWD)" by HannoJojo.

The ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json currently includes over 600 styles, more nail styles can be added by the user.

YPS uses the following length categories (no matter how the nails are named in the nail mod):

• short tips: 0-2mm
• medium tips: 3-12mm
• long tips: 13-22mm
• xl tips: 22-49 mm
• xxl tips: 50 mm and up

List of nail mods currently included in the nail database:

Instructions how to edit ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json:

BoS Integration
Players who got Bimbofied by the Bimbos of Skyrim mod still can (and should) visit the nail salon, but have only a limited selection of shapes and colors to choose from. Configurable in ypsBimboNailsLE/SE.json. Instructions to configure this json file:

Initially, walking without heels will be just like in the vanilla game; but when wearing high heels, you will suffer a speed debuff and stumble a lot.
At the end of your training, it will be pretty much the opposite: without heels your will have some problems to move around, but wearing high heels will feel like normal.
How to train your feet? Just wear high heels for a long time (training time is configurable in MCM).
If you wear bondage boots, you can even reach a higher stage, with a still bigger debuff for not wearing bondage boots or high heels.

Training process:
Your training will proceed over 6 stages. You begin at stage 1 ("untrained feet") and ultimately will reach stage 5 ("arched feet") or stage 6 ("bondage feet").
By continuously wearing high heels or bondage boots, your stage will increase over time, and the speed debuff (& stumble chance) will be adjusted.
If you wear "normal" heels, you can reach stage 5.
Only if you wear bondage boots, you can reach stage 6.
There is a grace period; removing your shoes for a short while will not interrupt the training process.
Note that even at stage 6 the standard DD speed debuffs still apply.
If you enable the "Cinderella Feet", your feet will appear to be deformed at higher stages even when not wearing shoes. (If you have problems with the meshes, @Neyri LL posted some alternate .nif files for 3BA here.)
Also, at higher stages, your feet will no longer fit into normal shoes (if the MCM option is enabled).

How to "untrain" your feet:
If you don't wear heels or bondage boots over a long time, your stage will decrease. However, it will take 3 times as long, and there is no grace period, i.e. wearing high heels even for a very short time will interrupt the untraining process.
Furthermore, if you ever have reached stage 5 or stage 6, there is a 90% chance that your feet will "remember" this position. Even if you have reverted your feet to stage 1, if you ever wear high heels or bondage boots just for a single time, you will immediately switch back to stage 5 or 6.

To detect high heels, this mod uses NIO heels. HDT HighHeels is no longer required.

- (Female) pubic hair will grow over time.
- Growth speed can be set in MCM.
- Pubic hair color can be set in MCM (16M RGB color space).
- Unshaved pubic hair will occasionally cause "itchy" animations (using a DD animation).
- Use shaving cream and a shaving knife to shave your pubic hair (a DD animation will show).
- Wearing a chastity belt inhibits shaving of pubic hair.
- For pubic hair, it is required to install SlaveTats 1.1.1 or higher. Two body tattoo slots will be used.
- Additional 3D pubic hair will show (on top of the SlaveTats) when you have SoS and SoS Pubic Hair for Females installed.
- If the 3D pubic hair is not showing (e.g. after a strip item effect from another mod), click twice the MCM Option to show/hide SOS Pubic Hair, and it should show up again.
- Note that "SoS Pubic Hair for Females" will add random pubic hair to new player characters, which needs to be removed in the SoS menu, before this mod will work correctly.
- Armpit hair. Will work the same way as pubic hair. This mod contains SlaveTat files only for the first 2 stages of armpit hair growth. For higher stages, you need to install the file Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair - SlaveTats Version.zip from Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair
- Shaving cream may also be used to shave your head (but only if you have cropped hair already)

- An alternate version of pubic hair textures can be found here (overwrite those in the sound&texture pack)

- Lipstick and eye shadow in various colors can be obtained from vendors in Radiant Raiment (Solitude) and elsewhere. Technically lipsticks are potions, eyeshadows are misc items.
- Required add-on: SlaveTats 1.1.1 or higher.
- Makeup can be applied in different density (opacity).
- Use "eyeshadow applicator brush" to apply eyeshadow (available from vendors)
- Lipstick can be applied as glossy or non-glossy (see MCM menu).
- Makeup will gradually wear off within about a day.
- Lipstick and eye shadow removal pads are available, too.
- It is advised to remove makeup before going to bed, doing a swim, or engaging in battle; otherwise it might smudge.
- There is one "Custom" color available each for lipstick and eye shadow, configurable in the MCM menu (enter the 6-digit RGB color hex code).

Additional makeup items:

- makeup foundation powder: Can be applied on the face before using lipstick and eyeshadow. Prerequisite for the "perfect makeup" buff (see below).

- makeup fixation powder: Can be used as finishing touch after applying lipstick or eyeshadow. Doubles the makeup duration. Inhibits makeup from smudging.
(If any of these items don't work due to the "misc item click bug", drop 1 unit on the ground and pick it up again.)
- wearing foundation and makeup and fixation on both lips and eyes will give the "perfect makeup" buff (slightly increases magicka regeneration and decreases stamina regeneration).

- there is a makeup guide book sold from YPS vendors

- Applying these items increases fashion level. They work just as normal decorative cosmetic items in terms of fashion features (buffs, debuffs, addiction, flirt chance). But there are no visual effects.
- The following items are available from fashion vendors (fashion level increase in brackets): Lip balm (1), Anti-Aging Cream (1), Nail Oil (1, both for fingers and toes), Eau Fraiche (1), Eau de Cologne (2), Eau de Toilette (3), Eau de Parfum (4)
- Length of duration is 1 day by default.
- Non-decorative cosmetics will not smudge.
- Applying lipstick, eyeshadow or nail polish will override the effects of lip balm, anti-aging cream or nail oil respectively

- installing the mod "Equipable Stockings" by thegooglyman is required to make this feature work (don't need to activate the .esp). The mod has some issues with striped stockings, but there is a patch.
- talk to your favorite fashion vendor to purchase nylons ("new system") or buy the "stockings and pantyhouse pack" from a vendor and click on it to wear/remove nylons ("old system").

Try not to mix up the old system ("stockings and pantyhouse pack") and the new system (equippable stockings). Thought the mod will do some checks, it is best is to only use one way.

Advantages of the new system: Instant change; more immersive (items that can be purchased); compatible with Wartimes.

Advantages of the older system: Higher compatibility, will work with LE and SE.

- nylons may cause fashion addiction and arousal
- you may not paint your toenails while wearing nylons (obviously)
- nylons may not be removed while wearing boots or certain restrictive devices (very obviously)

- Fashion level is an internal feature of YPS. The following fashion items may increase "fashion level": fingernail polish, professional manicure, long artificial nails, toenail polish, pierced earrings, lipstick or lip balm, eyeshadow or anti-ageing cream, shaved armpits, shaved pubic hair, high heels, dyed hair, permed hair, buzzed nape cut, long hair (bra strap length or longer), nylons, perfume.
- Having positive (or negative) "fashion level" will get you a speechcraft buff (or debuff). If you have a high fashion level for a very long time (in-game weeks), the buff will gradually turn into a debuff for not using these fashion items ("Fashion addiction"). Configurable in MCM menu.
- Using these fashion features may also increase arousal over time (intensity can be set in MCM). Default = enabled.

- wearing items with one of the following keywords will also modify fashion level (use KID or SPID to add them to your clothing items) :

• ypsClothingUgly (fashion -2)
• ypsClothingOrdinary (fashion -1)
• ypsClothingCute (fashion +1)
• ypsClothingFashion (fashion +1)
• ypsClothingSexy (fashion +2)

These effects do not stack; only the highest of these fashion modifiers will count (e.g. if you wear a skirt with the keyword ypsClothingFashion and gloves with ypsClothingUgly, the fashion modifier will be +1)

- As female player character, you can conveniently chat with friendly female NPCs about various issues, like pets, gardening, cooking, makeup, and other important topics.

- As you engage in chatting, more topics will open up.

- You also can exchange small gifts.

- Works with the following female NPCs (if properly flagged in the game): Followers, innkeepers, bards, vendors, merchants, farmers, inn servers, house carls.

- The female player can flirt with most named NPCs, according to sexual preferences set in MCM
- If flirt is unsuccessful, try again after a while; adding some fashion items also helps
- If flirt is successful, you can kiss your partner.
- After a certain number of kisses with the same NPC, you can also engage in sex.
- After a certain number of sex encounters, you can begin a steady relationship with your new boyfriend or girlfriend. This will grant the "young love" buff, which will fade slowly over time (default: in game weeks).
- If in a relationship, you will need to visit your lover once in a while and have sex. Otherwise the relationship will be terminated, and you will get the "lovesick" debuff, which will also fade slowly over time.
-- Currently there is no marker pointing at your boy/girlfriend. Make sure to be able to locate your lover by yourself. Most conveniently, your lover is also your follower.
-- Lovesickness is a very serious condition. Chose your lover wisely and maintain your relationship well!
- Past lovers will refuse to become your lover immediately again.
- Plenty of configuration options in MCM section "NPC Interaction"

- Player can apply for an official name change. In order to do this, visit one of the city stewards.
- Player will need to pay a substantial fee, and then will be assigned a random name of the appropriate gender.
- Name choices can be configured in ypsNames.json. About 800 female and 300 male names are preconfigured. If you just want a particular name, place only 1 name in the json.
- New player name will show in racemenu, in the skills menu and in some other places. Might not work everywhere.

This mod contains 3 quests.

1) "A Woman in Skyrim" Quest

The player will travel throughout Skyrim and meet several notable female NPCs, learning many aspects of being a woman in Skyrim, in particular the YPS fashion features. When playing a new female character or when being changed into a woman by some other means (e.g. a modevent), the quest will automatically launch within 1 in-game hour. Only the first quest stage is done - still unfinished.

2) DIBELLA QUEST (not available in LITE version)

The male protagonist faces a series of strange events and coincidences, while being slowly transformed into a beautiful girl. Will (s)he be able to cope with the challenges posed by the “Follower of Dibella”, or end up being utterly frustrated?

See spoiler for general structure of the quest:

The quest is ultra long (>100 stages), contains lots of dialogue and many cut-scenes. But no fighting. It can be completed with a level 1 character.

Though some DD items are used in this quest, it is mostly consensual, and a bit funny as well. This is a realistic (low fantasy) quest, using magic only sparsely.
Current status of this quest is BETA (better still store a save gave before trying it out).

The main quest line is finished. More quest lines are currently prepared.

This quest is for males *only* (who will be turned into girls soon enough).

The quest is (almost) fully voiced! (Thanks to SquatsAreLife, who did the voice packs).

To start the quest, you need to read a note on a barrel at the left side upon entering the Hall of Attainment in Winterhold (or ask Urag about new people around), then talk to Lena Golvo. (For "Alternative Start: Live another Life" users, start as "guild member" in Winterhold College.)

For later stages in the shemale path of the Dibella Quest it is recommended to have Vivi's Cockcages installed (LE or SE); activation of .esp is not required. You can avoid this by choosing different quest paths (choice is obvious).

Before you start your quest, you can configure following things in MCM (part of it is in the "relationship" section):

• sexual preference
• sexual preference change after gender change
• hairstyle you get during the quest

In the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\YpsFashion\ypsItems.json (for SE: ypsItemsSE.json) you can configure the following things:

•  "lenasnails": nail item eventually worn by Lena
• " ear stud", " ear stud right",  " ear stud left": what Lena wears when she gets pierced
• items received by the player during the quest: "dressmodest", "stockings", "dressrevealing", "bra", "heelsmedical", "earrings", "bikini", "panties", "miniskirt" (can use 3rd party mods, but have to install them of course)
• "dibellaquestnailmodelnailshape", "dibellaquestnailmodelnailcolor": what the player gets during the first manicure session (refers to shapes and colors from ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json); to receive random nails, set them as ""

Furthermore, there will be a forced name change later in the quest. You can edit the file ypsNames.json to choose which female name you will get (you will get a random name from the stringlist "femalenames").

Notes on Body morphing (optional feature of the Dibella quest):
- Prerequisites: (1) Skeleton with morphs; (2) check the "build morphs" check box when building the meshes in bodyslide. Check also this guide.
- the ypsBodymorphsLE/SE.json contains 3 values for each morphing feature: The first one is what you get when wearing belt+bra the first time (breasts should be completely flat, and the player should have androgynous body features), the second value is what you get when after the first breast operation (very small breasts, the rest basically unchanged), the third one is the final female form reached at the quest end (with fully developed breasts and curves)
- a special value is "bodyheight" which refers to the size (height) of the player’s body; this is not influenced by the skeleton, but is using the setscale command from Skyrim (so this will work even if no morphable skeleton has been installed)
- The default body morph values in the ypsBodymorphsLE/SE.json files refer to the following configurations:

LE: XP 32 maximum skeleton extended 4.67 (or higher) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68000; Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Edition v3.4f-2666-3-4f (or higher) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2666

SE: XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended-1988-4-81-1660739371 (or higher) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1988; CBBE 3BA (3BBB)-30174-2-47-1676473395 (or higher) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30174

How to become a Bimbo during the quest:

3) "INFIBULATION" (Chastity Piercing Quest) (not available in LITE version)

This is a rather short “devious devices” quest. Installing the mod Devious Chastity Piercing (by poblivion) is required (must activate the esp file). To start the quest, read the “torn book page”, found on a barrel in the cellar of the Bee and Barb Inn (Riften). The quest is rather hardcore and dramatic in the beginning, but then softens out and will soon lead to a happy end (unless you are doing really stupid things).

- When initiated, you will be forced to change gender in racemenu and your won't be able to change gender by yourself again.
- Two levels: normal change, and permanent change. When permanent, no future gender change will ever be possible.
- 4 types of potions are available via console: Potion of (permanent) masculinization / feminization
- for modders: mod events are also available

- When gender change is happening (e.g. quaffing a gender change potion or a modevent), a random story is played from the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\YpsThoughts\ypsTransformationstories.json as a series of messageboxes. The users can write their own stories there.

- Gender change the ultimate motive in the Dibella quest

-- Players can manually configure some items used in the mod. This includes starter piercings (all slots, except earlobes and labia) and several items given to the player during the quests. Location of the configuration file: Data\SKSE\Plugins\YpsFashion\ypsItems.json (for LE), or ypsItemsSE.json (for SE). You need to convert the hex numbers from the mod into decimal numbers, e.g. 2854 hexadecimal = 10324 decimal.
-- All items are preconfigured, either as items from base Skyrim, or from YPS, or from 3rd party mods (not contained in the list of recommended add-ons). Feel free to use items from other mods of your choice. When configuring starter piercing items, be aware of item slot conflicts that may inhibit the player to wear starter piercings from different piercing slots simultaneously. If needed you can use the default slavetat piercings instead.
-- If an item is not properly configured (e.g. the esp is missing, or there is a typo) and the item is crucial to this mod, you will receive default items instead.

-- Be careful when changing the ESPs (e.g. when changing them to an "ESPFE"), because it might mess things up. In this case, you need to adopt the item codes in the json file.
 

- the following special sections in ypsItems.json / ypsItemsSE.json can be configured:
-- ypsmerchantitems: will be added to Yolie’s merchant chest in Solitude (gives an immersive way to achieve 3rd party jewelry and clothing in game)
-- ypsearringitems: list of earrings, randomly worn by YPS vendors and Lena (after she got her ears pierced)

The following keywords can be used with YPS (and for example be added with KID or SPID) :

To mark gloves that can be worn together with long manicure fingernails:

• ypsFingerlessGloves / 0x270382~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp

To mark clothes that affect fashion level:

• ypsClothingUgly (fashion -2) / 0x27037d~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp
• ypsClothingOrdinary (fashion -1) / 0x27037e~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp
• ypsClothingCute (fashion +1) / 0x27037f~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp
• ypsClothingFashion (fashion +1) / 0x270380~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp
• ypsClothingSexy (fashion +2) / 0x270381~yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp

This mod uses more SlaveTat layers than come with the original installation. It is important that you increase the maximum number of layers manually. To do so, count the values you need together according to the following table:

• Earlobe piercings: 2*Face + 2*Face (swap)
• Nostril, Septum, Right Labret, Central Labret, Right Eyebrow, Nose Bridge piercings: each 1*Face
• Snake Bites: 1*Face + 1*Face (swap)
• Navel, Clitoris (Labia is not yet implemented): each 1*Body
• Nipples: 1*Body + 1*Body (swap)
• Fingernail polish: 1*Hands + 1*Hands (swap)
• Toenail polish: 1*Feet + 1*Feet (swap)
• Lipstick: 1*Face
• Eyeshadow: 1*Face
• Pubic hair: 1*Body + 1*Body (swap)
• Nylons: 1*Body + 1*Feet

Add up the slot numbers; swap slots only count once (even if you use more than one piercing needing a swap slot).
E.g. using Earlobe piercings plus Snake Bites plus Nostril needs: 2+1+1 normal face slots, plus the maximum of 2 swap slots, for a total of 6 face slots.
Then add the corresponding numbers in the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\nioverride.ini to the variable iNumOverlays in the four sections [Overlays/...]
Note that high values for iNumOverlays may slow down your computer! In particular use a lower number for face overlays, if you don't use that many face fashion items. Maximum number of Overlays in a section is 12 (SlaveTats won't recognize more).

Makeup: Use the makeup items (potions) that can be purchased from Yolie (and other fashion merchants around Skyrim) or stolen from the counter in Radiant Raiment (Solitude) or in Dibella's Temple (Markarth). For more details, purchase the nail polish guide from Yolie. For a professional manicure, talk to Yolie in Radiant Raiment.
Piercings: Wait until MCM menu loads up.
- Earlobe piercings: Just try to equip an earring (crafted or otherwise obtained), or visit Yolie.
- Other piercings: If you dare, look in the basement!
Pubic hair: Make sure that this is enabled in MCM. Buy shaving cream and a shaving knife to shave your pubic hair.

Nylons: Talk to the fashion vendors and purchase the nylons package. To wear/remove nylons, click on the package.

Dibella Quest: Read a note on a barrel at the left side upon entering the Hall of Attainment in Winterhold, then talk to Lena Golvo.

Chastity Piercing Quest: Read the “torn book page”, found on a barrel in the cellar of the Bee and Barb Inn (Riften).

- This mod is designed for female player characters; several features might also work on male characters (ymmv)
- This mod is made to work with cbbe hdt bodyslide
- This mod works smoother with FNIS 12000 animations (FNIS Behavior V6_3)
- If you use any function that activates SlaveTats (make-up, stud piercings), wait until the action has finished before trying another one. Otherwise the game might stop responding to certain actions.
- If you decide to get your piercings welded onto your ears, there might be conflicts with other mods that try to force equip an item into the same slot as your piercings (e.g. DD). In that case, disable the piercing monitoring for the corresponding slot in the MCM menu.
- Cinderella Feet, nail polish and welded piercings will conflict with mods that don't allow items in your inventory. If necessary, turn the corresponding options off in MCM.
- The high heel training stumble animation might conflict with other mods that require certain movements from the PC. If necessary, turn the "pain animation when running" option off in MCM and switch to walking mode [caps lock].
- To decrease papyrus load, it is recommended to turn features off you don't use (especially piercing slots); this is in particular recommended on slower computers to prevent crashing.
- If you use Deviously Cursed Loot, enable the "princessity's hat" option (in the console type "set dcur_princessityshatmode to 1"); otherwise the slut collar (and similar items) might constantly punish you for wearing nail polish or having piercings welded onto you.
- If you use the nail polish system, it is recommended to use a body texture without colored nails.
- If run speed is too low or too high when wearing heels, disable the runspeed debuff in options or change the value of the run speed debuff slider. Yes, the run speed can indeed be too high (because the game counts a 105% speed debuff only as a 5% debuff etc.).
- If piercings in certain slots behave strangely, disable the piercing monitor in MCM for these slots.
- If the mod continuously fines you for not wearing piercings or polished nails, disable the option in MCM menu.
- If you run into problems after updating this mod to a newer version, try to do a clean update first. (Save the game, uninstall the old version of the mod, load the game, wait 15 seconds, save the game again, install the new version of the mod, load the game).
- To recover your previous status from a clean update, or for testing or debugging purposes (or just to have some fun) you may use the following items: "Cursed Potion of Arched Feet", "Cursed Potion of Bondage Feet", "Earlobe Piercing Kit", "Navel Piercing Kit". These are not available in game. Conjure them up in the console. Technically they are potions (alchemy items). The piercing kits can be used to pierce yourself and will set your healing stage so that you may wear all kinds of piercings immediately.
- If make-up does not show up, make sure that you have enough free SlaveTats slots for the corresponding body section.
- If you need more SlaveTats slots, edit the iNumOverlays variables in the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\nioverride.ini
- Glossy lipstick may appear to be non-glossy due to a SlaveTats bug. Restarting the game often solves this issue.
- After traveling or when waking up, wait a while until all animations have played.
- If random pubic hair appears on new player characters, remove it in the SoS menu (this has nothing to do with this mod).
- If SlaveTat piercings only show up from very close distance, restarting Skyrim sometimes helps.
- When clicking on a MiscItem (such as Shaving Cream or Piercing Boxes), please ignore the message "you cannot equip this item". The message doesn't matter, and I don't know how to turn this off.

- When you click on a MiscItem and nothing happens, drop 1 unit on the ground and pick it up again. This is a Skyrim bug.

- If you experience the "black face bug", make sure the most recent "sound&texture" is installed. SE users might use the "Face Discloration Fix" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42441

- If you see "hand seems" when wearing nails, or if the nails are invisible, try this here.

- This mod is not focussed on adult content, but it still contains some "adult" stuff (mostly consensual). The "Lite" version does not rely on 3rd party adult mods, but still has some adult content (e.g. nipple piercings, pubic hair growth).
- may only be used if legal in your region or country
- may only be used in conjunction with other mods if they are all legal in your region or country
- may not be posted or reposted without permission on a website other than LL (or a dedicated successor site)
- may only be distributed free of charge
