Blushing When Aroused - Experimental Performance Improvements and Fixes 4.0

This mod was modified based on Blushing When Aroused – Experimental Performance Improvements and Fixes by BeranabusBarnes. Honestly, writing this kind of post is a bit of a hassle, but I thought it would be good for many SexLab users to have access to it, so I went ahead and made the post.

The original script structure was way too complicated, so I relied a lot on ChatGPT’s help to figure things out.

Requirement

Sexlab

A mod related to SexLab Arousal (There are lots of versions, so just choose whichever works for you.)

SPID

Next-Gen Decapitations (Without this mod, you’ll experience CTDs.)

What did I change?
As some of you know, using cloak spells to run a mod puts a heavy load on scripts. The original mod worked with cloak spells, but I rebuilt it to work with SPID instead. The original mod also had a limit on the number of NPCs it could affect—up to 50 max. By restructuring it to run with SPID, I completely removed that NPC limit.

The main reason I decided to modify this mod was because of the random NPC blush bug. Under the assumption that blush is applied to NPCs, sometimes NPCs would suddenly get max blush even when I wasn’t doing anything—and neither were they. It was super annoying, so I modified the mod and added scripts into the suspected bug-causing scripts to clear blush when it happens. Honestly, I still don’t know exactly why those scripts cause the bug in the first place.

Anyway, I tested it roughly and it seems to work, but to be fair, there might be other issues that come up while using it. If it’s not something I run into myself, I don’t really bother, so you’ll either have to fix it yourself or just deal with it.

Also, keep in mind that if you use race conditions for blush application, it may not work depending on your translation. That’s because this mod’s race condition system relies on the localized name, not the English name. For example, “Dark Elf” in Korean is “다크 엘프,” but since the condition is based on the English name, it won’t work. This could be fixed in the scripts, but honestly it’s tedious, not that important, and I don’t use that feature myself, so I didn’t bother. Sorry about that.
