SexLab More Creatures SE (2019-10-28) v1.02

Adds more friendly domestic animals to the world of Skyrim.

 

This places around 500 non-hostile creatures in cities, villages, farms, mills, etc, and also adds a dogs to interiors like inns and Jarl halls. The primary intention is to provide more animals that will work with SexLab Aroused Creatures SE while not introducing anything too immersion-breaking (like pet sabre cats and house-trolls). As a result the vast majority (about 95%) of these are dogs and horses. In order to provide some variety within this restriction the mod references the Judah dog model included in Hentai Creatures SE so the mod will need to be installed for the model and textures (the ESP does not need to be enabled if not wanted).

 

This mod does not have any built-in SexLab functionality nor any adult content. It is listed as both because of the partial dependency and the intended use.

 

All animals have markers they will return to when not occupied which should keep them from blocking traffic for too long. Most SLMC spawns use levelled lists so horse and dog breeds will be random for the most part. The major exception is guard dogs which are all armoured huskies. The horses in and around cities will tend to be of the appropriate breed for the location though there is a chance for them to be another breed. Their breed can change if the cell is reset. Animals in an around major cities that are attacked during the Civil War quests should be temporarily disabled until the events are complete.

 

Generally the placement is consistent with location, so you won't find a saddled horse near some random bridge in the middle of nowhere only in places that someone could conceivably leave a horse saddled. You'll find armoured husky "guard dogs" in jarl's residences and occasionally at guard posts and town entrances. There are also some tame wolves in and around Jorrvaskr and some summoned dogs in and around The Mages' College. Other than those there are no saber cats, bears, werewolves or anything else that would required an "excuse" outside of the story for its presence. I've avoided placing animals in locations where I know stealth is required at some time.
 

This is an early version and a complete do-over of the original Oldrim SLMC mod so I'd be grateful if you could provide some bug reports. In particular we are looking for animals spawning inside walls, animals being unexpectedly aggressive, free horses (they are all supposed to be owned) and any clashes with other mods. Ideally I'd need to know the exact location and creature(s) involved. If you find an area that you think has too many or too few animals that would also be helpful.

 

In the current version (v1.01 and later) the creatures are non-essential, re-spawning and PC-level calculated. Killed creatures will re-spawn after 30 in-game days without the PC visiting their location.

 

This mod has no scripting, no models or textures and should be very safe to install and uninstall at will. Load order should not really matter, but if you see any cell being overridden please report it.

 

This mod has been cleaned in SSEEdit.

 

Customisation

If you want to delete SLMC spawns from a given area the NPCs can be removed from the esp using SSEEdit. To remove everything from a cell just delete the cell from the esp. To remove individual creatures, such as all horses from city cells, locate and expand the cell and delete only the unwanted NPC entries from that cell. Do not delete the XMarkerHeading entries in the "persistent" branches. Tip: Alt-Right-Click on the +/- next to SexLab More Creatures.esp to expand or collapse all branches.

 

Creatures can be safely disabled in-game using the console: open the console, click on the creature, ensure that the first two digits of the ID displayed at the top of the console match the load order position of SLMC, type disable and enter.

 

Requirements
Hentai Creatures SE (the ESP does not need to be active if you do not want to the summoned creatures this mod provides)

 

Recommended

Simple No More Stupid Dog (the "stupid dog" dialogue will otherwise be continuous due to the number of dogs)

Quiet Dog (use the SIt version to reduce the amount of barking from all the extra dogs)

Wolf Howl Fix (so that the wolves around Jorrvaskr won't be completely mute)

 

Install
Use a mod manager of choice (MO2 is recommended)

 

Update
Make a clean save to ensure changes are properly applied. Uninstall the mod, load your game and make a new save, then install the updated version.
