Cocksmen Village Reborn SE Cocksmen Village 1.8

This is a major rework of ffabris' amazing Oldrim mod "Cocksmen Village". Due to problems with the Oldrim original, ffabris pulled the mod. I felt that was a shame, since this quest mod offers some truly unique quests and interactions. So I took it upon myself to rework the mod. And ended up recruiting ffabris to help me with the scripting. He felt so blessed...
And now I have ported it for use with Skyrim Special edition.

 

What does it do?
This is a gay quest mod. It starts when you discover the tiny hamlet of Cocksmen Village, located just south of Ivarstead near Honeystrand Cave. Upon finding the village, a series of (sex) quests will start, during which you will meet Aedra and, invariably, Daedra. You will be taken to places you never dreamed possible! And you will also be given an important lasting task by the most contested Divine in Skyrim.

 

Who can play this?
The mod is written with a male gay audience in mind. However it can be played by all genders as well of course, provided you are prepared to be addressed as male for the duration.
This mod shouldn't interfere with a normal Skyrim play-through, i.e. it is not quest breaking.
 

Be advised that vanilla scripted events need to play out before the new quest options become available (i.e. Delphine talking to Orgnar in the Inn, the gathering at the hall in Morthal, Brynjolf approaching you in Riften, Beheading scene in Solitude, etc.)

 

Possible conflicts
- Apart from mods which alter the area the Village is located, there should be no conflicts with other mods. The mod Kaiden2 is confirmed incompatible, since it places a building in the same area!
- However, since some vanilla NPCs have been altered, you should place the mod as low as possible in the load order.
- If you use Wrye Bash to make bashed patches, EXCLUDE this mod OR add the appropriate Bashtags. If you do want to include it in the bashed patch, make sure the altered NPC's from Cocksmen take precedence in the Bashed Patch (drag and drop the potentially overwritten records from Cocksmen into the bashed patch with xEdit)
- The behavior of some vanilla NPCs has been altered. This should not cause any problems, but occasionally it can cause NPCs to not show up where they are supposed to be, if you use a

   mod that changes NPC sandboxing, like Immersive Citizens. If this happens, please revert to a previous save and play with the conflicting mod disabled.
   After the quest you can turn it back on. It affects just one quest.
- If you discover any conflicts, please let me know in the forum (not private messages)!

 

Known Issue(s)
* When entering the Inn to talk to the innkeepers (first quest), make sure you are dressed or the quest dialog will not show up!

* The events in the quest "Love Thy Brother" can stop working/ not starting for some. I have never been able (so far) to figure out why and what is causing it. Nor have I been able to replicate the problems. If you run into these problems, for the time being you will unfortunately have to use the console to skip the offending quest stages. I intermittently keep trying to solve these issues.

 

Required mods
This mod requires all the mods below, including their requirements!!

Skyrim Special Edition (=all DLC)/ Skyrim Anniversary Edition (1.6+, free or full)
Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (currently optional, but strongly advised)
Sexlab SE v. 1.63 (or higher)
Sexlab Aroused Redux SE (or equivalent)
Fuz Ro D-oh Silent voice SE (Also have subtitles enabled)
KS Hairdo SE (at least the male version, female version is optional for this mod)

At least one working Animation package, preferable with MM animations (see M2M Gay Animations below)

 

For the Statue replacer patch:

Monuments of Men by JD Anchor

Soft requirement (not required): Monuments of Men Cleaned and upscaled Textures by Xtudo

 

Recommended mods
Not required but might be helpful.
M2M Gay Animations (SE version is in the download section of the mod)
Schlongs of Skyrim SE 1.1.4 or newer + SoS SE/AE Multi-Edition DLL Replacer
Masculinized Level Lists (Oldrim, no need to convert it)
The Manipulator SE
SexTalk (gay) SE

 

A fun addition could be "Voice pack for Cocksmen village Reborn SE". So you can hear the men speak their lines, though it isn't perfect.

 

Patch

Talos Statue replacer patch for Monuments of Men by JD Anchor

Because the statues/ shines of Talos are scripted in the mod, Mesh replacers for those statues didn't work. I finally figured out how to correct that (only took me a few years).

So I am pleased to announce this replacer for the Talos statues created by JD Anchor's most excellent Monuments of Men. Obviously you will need to have the original mod installed for this to work. This patch doesn't use any resources made by JD Anchor. It just makes it so that the scripted statues are now changed to his statues/ textures.

Install AFTER Cocksmen Village. It is save to install this mod during a play through (no scripts are altered).

 

Installation

Just install with your favorite mod organizer. I use MO2. I have no idea how Vortex works, so I can't help with questions about that.
Make sure the mod is below any NPC changing mods, such as NPC overhauls, beautification/ hair mods and mods that change NPC behaviour.

 

Updating

Updating to version 1.7 should be safe on a running game.

 

Skyrim Updates

This mod doesn't use SKSE, so updates to Skyrim itself should not create any problems.

 

Known incompatible mods/ issues

Kaiden2

I don't know how to move the house added by this mod to a different location, so unfortunately Kaiden2 is incompatible.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE LATEST SKYRIM VERSIONS (1130/ 1170):

If you upgraded to one of the latest versions of Skyrim and then downgraded back, you will/ can experience random, strange and/or untraceable crashes. The reason for this, is that Bethesda made it possible to use 4096 instead of 2048 ESL, ESM and ESP files. A nice little upgrade to slap more mods on your lists! HOWEVER to make this possible they had to raise the file headers from version 1.70 to 1.71. If you updated then downgraded to a version before 1130, this will cause the random crashes.  In that case you will need to install Backported Extended ESL Support (BEES). This mod make older mods (version 1.70) play nice with the newer file headers. If you are using version 1130 or 1170, BEES is redundant, so you won't need it.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I did the first quest and now nothing happens?
A: Yes, there is a pause between the intro and the next quest. Just do some other quests or wait/ sleep/ "test" the men for at least 24 hours. The next quest will start automagically and give you an update.

 

Q: Why is there a tree sticking out the wall in the manor and the inn?!
A: You are probably using a tree replacer such as Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Just disable the tree via the console: Open the console (usually with the ~ -key), click on the tree branch you see poking out (make sure you get the actual tree or the wall will disappear! The console should say ObjectTREE in the bottom right of the screen) and type in disable. Should you delete the wall by mistake, type in enable and it should reappear when you exit the console (by using the ~ key again). Using the scroll wheel on your mouse will scroll through the nearby objects, so you can select the ObjectTREE.

 

Q: I am not sure what to do next? Hayulp!
A: Pay close attention to the dialogue and read the journal entries. Everything is explained in there. Usually, but not always, there is also a quest marker.
