Devious Followers 2.03 (2025) 2.033

(This version isn't hugly tested and while it does fix some bugs... there may be new game breaking bugs which I'll fix as submitted)

Oh and 100% new game needed! (might work without but I reckon it's unlikely)

 

What is this mod?

It's a follower mod that makes follower need money and if you can't pay bad things can happen but don't worry there are plenty of devious deals you can make to reduce debt... of course they need to be payed out off as well... just you know don't get into a spiral of debt and end up as a slave to your follower... 

(For simple terms it's a mod where the follower can slowly enslave the player via debt and the player can fight back by making gold)

Foreword

So I'm Lozeak, the original maker of Devious Followers which I left to the community to do what they want with. I made probably about 90% of the content of the mod and Lupine00 rewrote all of the dialogue, added more content and improved a lot of things. nomkaz also kept it aviable and updated. The main reason for this update is to fix stuff and not add content BUT I there is some new content and some old content is now useable (even if it's a little outdated). If you want this mod to be more bug free please tell me any problems you have.

Requirements

• DD 5.2 
  If upgrading/changing Devious followers versions : You will need to rebuild Lozeak Device Controller list to add the new items (Delete/ Backup json in Data\SKSE\Plugins\Lozeak Device Controller) 
• Sexlab
• Sexlab Aroused (I think this can be cleaned off and it won't cause problems but I'm not messing with that right now)
• Zaz 8.0
• Spank that ass (Optional)
• Milk mod Econ (Optional)
• Simple Slavery (Optional)
   

What's added and changed?

 

Alternate Start (Disable by default)

So rather than making a follower devious ASAP a follower will have a chance every X hours/days to ask for money based off your debt settings and you can choose to pay them, pay them later (into devious follower), refuse, or kick them and of course things will happen depending on these choices.
(Oh waiting alone will not trigger force greet you will need to change cells (move to a different area) as I didn't want this being checked on a loop)
 

The idea with this is rather than ALWAYS having a devious follower on every game, all the time. You can play the game as normal and followers can act like a debt bomb that might trigger like hitting a bad chest in DCL.  

 

And as with all my content MCMed to the moon so you can configure it to be as passive or aggressive as you want.

Right now in DFC, you can enable/disable a potential follower as devious or not. It would be really cool if you could designate them as "maybe devious" and there'd be a random chance they'd turn devious in X days if they're still in your service/ an X% chance they'd turn devious checked each 24 hours. - Anunya

Debt failure

 

When you break the debt limit the mode had a messy way of dealing with things and I saw a lot of confusion with 2 or 3 enslavement/bad end systems so I rewrote it...
Now when you break you debt limit you'll be forced to take deals to a certain number set in MCM (might go over) and/or forced into gold mode then after that you'll be put into a bad end. (none of this is new content) there were also a lot of bugs which this fixes. 

• Devious follower slavery - Essentially everything gets paused and you can make your gold back while doing things under a set of rules.
• Lola content - No idea what happens here but if you have the mod something happens
• SS - You can add an outcome via SS DFC has a SS outcome that sells you to another follower
• Throw in a pit (This is basically a game over)
• Chained - This is kind of a gameover but if you can make enough money you can get the chains removed and continue.

 

Being Sold on

So in the mod when I originally added this it was to make the player feel a lack of control and being passed around... (more like a game than a bad end) it was changes so only followers could buy you and kinda of treated like a bad end situation. I've reverted it... now your follower will sell you to a random NPC which will be problematic and potentially game breaking but at least the content can be experienced rather than waiting endless for you run into the right NPC. (I know this might annoy people but this is a preference thing. Both ways have there issues)

Naked checked (MCM toggle) to only use body slot

For example, I like to wear stuff from the TAWOBA bikini armor mod. Wearing things like a bra and panties obviously violate the 'Naked in towns' rule, so it makes sense I'd get punished for that. But I'd prefer if wearing belts/headgear/pauldrons/gloves or things like that didn't also trigger the detection and punish me. Is there a way to configure the mod so that it only checks the 'Body' slot rather than for everything the character is wearing? The deal even seems to strip jewelry like rings and amulets too. - ohsnapdragon

Follower removed when sent to SS - Asked for by gerroth and Bouleau

Lots of issue with the DF enslavement content (THE GLOVES ARE FIXED) There still might be issues with it but honestly it's content you might do once and not the main meat of the mod. 

Piercing issue fixed by updating Lozeak Device controller (i think) - Seeker999 pointed out where the issue was and I'll add here massive thank you to Seeker999 for all the troubleshooting you've done for others and anyone else but I did notice them help out a lot.

Permissions and stuff

 

I'm not going to go through it all again. People can do basically anything they want with the mod and I'm not fussed about credit or anything just have fun. However since it has used things from other mod which DO have permissions you cannot paywall content, cannot post anywhere but loverslab (unless it's a translation) and all code added needs to be open source. 

 

Everything else and more info

Yes, it's lazy but everything is explained there. Please read as this is the version I built off. 

What's next

So while I have a few ideas like 

• Small event 
• Add filters to sexlab calls
• Rework deal system so other esp can add deals
• Make a few mods using it...

It's a lot of work and well my life while good... isn't really in place where I can say I'll do this so... right now I want to fix as many bugs as possible so this mod is usable
