About This File
Description
Deviously Helpless Redux (DHLP) is the updated, fixed up, reworked and tweaked version of the original Deviously Helpless mod! And to borrow it's very fitting, concise and on point description of what it does: So you somehow ended up stuck in an armbinder and are now wandering around Skyrim in it. What's preventing all the bandits from taking advantage of you when you can't resist?
When the normally-hostile members of factions like the bandits, vampires or Forsworn notice you approaching in a... well, rather helpless state, they won't even bother attacking and will instead chase you down to fuck and rob! Not only that, but if you happen to be a kinky adventurer who goes dungeoneering wearing vibrating plugs, don't be surprised if a sudden wave of pleasure makes that greatsword slip out of your hands or your spells to fail... and of course, the loud clanking alterting all nearby enemies to find you in your vulnerable state... ☺️
This mod has a lot of configuration options, so make sure to check out its MCM and the DHLP_DISTR.ini configuration file in Skyrim's 'Data' folder too for all the options!
Features
Configurable Devious Devices - Select what type of restraints will make the player considered 'helpless' for sex attacks to happen, also what types of restraints the enemies can lock on the player. Enemies have a configurable chance to randomly carry restraints with them, and they'll also lock the restraints the player was carrying on her. A separate configurable chance exists for the player to be locked into heavy bondage (armbinder, yoke, etc.) after she's been raped and let go.
Steal gold, gear and keys - Attackers can steal the player's gold, equipment and restraint keys. A random percentage of the stolen gold and keys will be distributed among the attackers, the rest is lost forever.
Bound gangbang support - Since DDNG 0.4.0, bound gangbangs and group sex is supported, provided there are installed animations. You can configure the chance of gangbangs happening over two-actor animations.
Device events - Wearing vibrating plugs, arm cuffs, leg cuffs or boots and cause the player to drop her weapons and trip over respectively, when trying to escape from enemies.
Chastity key distribution - Enemies have a chance to have chastity keys on them, so that they can unlock chastity belts (chance configured in DHLP_DISTR.ini)
Follower support - Followers will be fucked and restrained alongside the player during sex attack scenes.
Creature support - When enabled, creatures will chase and take advantage of a helpless player as well. Only "intelligent humanoid" creatures, like draugr, falmer or giants can unlock chastity belts, steal keys or lock restraints on the player. (extensively configurable in DHLP_DISTR.ini) This content is disabled by default, and by enabling it, you are consenting to be subjected to it.
Requirements
Optional Mod Integrations
Devious Wicked Devices - Adds an extra twist to the restraints you can get equipped with, now there's a configurable chance to be locked into something much more devious (and fun!) than the regular restraints! 😈
Love Sickness - Being Love Sick now carries an extra risk of being considered a vulnerable target! 💕
Recommended Mods
Alternate Perspective - Deviant Perspective or Alternate Start - Live A Deviant Life Lich Edition - The bound alternate start options synergize very well with Deviously Helpless, you can start out your new life in Skyrim bound and gagged, allowing you to pretty much instantly experience what DHLP has to offer!
Devious Carriages Redux - Provides a way to around these deviously helpless situations, but may throw you in other, similar ones! ☺️
Devious Interests SE - Now that you've gotten yourself into restraints, time to see what the rest of Skyrim will have to say about it or what'll you do get rid of them...? 🤔
FAQ
Q: I have encountered an issue!
A: Post a detailed report of the issue in the mod's support thread - what game edition you are on, when and how it happened, what other mods are installed, what is the version of DHLP and its requirements are you using. Enable logging for Skyrim and in the mod's MCM, and attach the log from the time the issue happened. If there are specific steps to reproducing the issue, include them as well. Do not approach me for technical support regarding the mod in direct messages, everything is handled through the thread. I will investigate any properly reported issue.
Q: I need the previous version of the mod for a mod list!
A: Only the latest version of the mod is supported and available. I do not maintain that list, I do not support that list, and I will not reupload old versions because somebody else's pack is outdated. Keeping the list updated is mod list author's responsibility, reach out to them about it.
Q: Does this work on Skyrim game version 1.5.97?
A: It does not. Update your game to the latest version or install Backported Extended ESL Support.
Q: Does this work with the non-NG version of Devious Devices?
A: It does not.
Q: Does this work without Kris's Papyrus Extender?
A: It does not.
Q: Is this mod voiced?
A: An xVASynth-generated voice pack is available in the downloads.
Q: Sex attacks are not happening at all!
A: Make sure your SPID install and config is correct, also check if the DHLP MCM does not say that attacks are suspended - if you think they are stuck, you can unsuspend them with the respective config menu option.
Q: A creature is not participating in sex attacks as expected!
A: Due to the lesser animation variety with creatures, and the fact that most shouldn't be "intelligent" enough to handle restraints, a check for available animations is performed before a creature is slotted as a potential rapist. So for example, if the player is wearing a ball gag and chastity belt with an open back, and you have no anal animations for trolls installed, the troll will be hostile. The same troll will chase the player to rape her if she's not wearing a chastity belt and there are vaginal animations involving trolls installed.
Q: I have an idea to be added to the mod!
A: I welcome all ideas, suggestions and feedback. Please post them in the thread. Every suggestion will be read and considered, but ultimately I decide what goes into the mod I develop and maintain, please keep that in mind.

What's New in Version 1.40
Released
Changes:
- Overhauled item stealing and greatly expanded the list of items the attackers can steal from the player
- Improved sex animation selection and filtering
- Removed unused, leftover legacy code
- Issue and code logic fixes
- Code optimizations
Additions:
-
Added a vulnerability system titled Helplessness, similar to the one introduced in Deviously Helpless Extended by @Hex Bolt:
- Sex attacks will now only happen if the player's Helplessness level is above the Helplessness threshold set in the config menu
- Restraints and certain conditions (like nudity) now have configurable values as to how much they contribute to the total Helplessness
- Added an optional mod integration with Love Sickness - being Love Sick can now also make the player vulnerable to sex attacks!
- Added the possibility for the player to drop her weapons when her plug gets inflated, similarly to the existing vibration event
-
Added a chase distance for attackers:
- they won't chase the player everywhere until the timer makes them give up the chase
- once attackers are sufficiently far away from their starting place, they'll also give up the chase - for example, bandits will chase the player until a bit outside their camps and forts
