What do you guys think of Wabbajack (the mod list loader)? Do you think it's a good tool for those who don't have a hope of modding on their own or is it one step too far into separating the mod creators from the mod users?

This is a non-essential request for discussion about something I doubt I am not alone in feeling. When modding, as I build my Modlist, I sometimes fall into brief bouts of concern. Some twizzles in my brain such as whether I forgot to check a box in a mod's Fomod installer or missed a companion mod to go with it. Such like this put me into a bit of a modding funk. How should I get past these concerns? Perhaps some other mod lovers on this forum can relate and give some advice? I ain't going crazy or anything, mostly my perfectionism kicking in mostly. You know that unsettled feeling you get when you see an ajar rug that is tilted or pressed up against a wall? Perhaps a smudge on a glass irks you? That is the kind of feeling I am getting.

Honestly, this is a non-serious post for me to unload some brainworms, more a discussion really. I see a lot of visual overhaul mods that have the main goal of editing and sculpting the heads and faces of various npcs in Skyrim. I'm not speaking of texture mods directly, those just take the base model and giving it a sort of beauty filter. All in all, skin texture mods preserve the initial design. It is a common occurrence that both skin and face mods tend to turn Skyrim's characters into ken dolls or barbie dolls. Sometimes, you can't even recognize npcs anymore unless you check their name and retrain your brain to remember. Why do people change the original design so much? I don't mind that some prefer the look, but why? I think the original base faces are quite good anyhow. Yes, I use skin mods; however, usually the mods I use simply bring the texture quality up to more modern standards. Hadvar is still Hadvar, just in 2k and/or 4k quality. Lydia is still Lydia, just given a texture upgrade. Again, people are free to like what they like, but when the skin of an npc is so glossy that they can blind you, kind of breaks the aesthetic of the game for me.

I have always heard that it is best to have 4k textures for objects that a player will see often, like armor and skin textures. 2k is often recommended for most everything else for the sake of performance. Is the increase in quality worth it? 2k textures are pretty good already by themselves and the jump between 2k and 4k does not seem as noticeable.

Alright, so I want to preface this little request for discussion with a disclaimer. This isn't me attempting to throw a tantrum or lambast someone for being either too blunt with me or a little rude. I am posting this to get some insight into what I have done to annoy the members of the mentioned Discord and how I can improve myself if there is something about me that needs to be addressed. Anyhow, apparently I have been asking too many questions in that Discord about mods I looking at. Mostly the one to two people that confronted me in text said that I am asking questions for information that can be figured out via the descriptions on mod pages. Understandable annoyance if a little bit gatekeeping. Another point they made that irked me certainly was them saying that I should figure the mods out by myself via testing and reading. This is obvious to me, I have done that with most if not every mod I installed. However, sometimes I get confused by some details and sometimes the answers for the questions I ask are hard to find due to them being hidden in posts, compatibility information being in a separate mod description, etc. It's not like I am spending all day on the Discord asking about every little issue I have. Nor do people have to answer my questions, their not obligated to do so at all. They can just ignore me if they feel so. Yet, apparently I ask too many questions and make "100 question lists". Perhaps they are right, if so, I am regretful for the discomfort I caused. I am asking questions on the SkyrimMods Discord though, isn't that expected?

So if I remember correctly a while ago someone asked what body people were using in SE. I think at the the 3BA was the majority back then. Is this still the case? I'm having a hard time choosing. Are the more outfits converted to 3BA or BHUNP (is there a thread for conversions to BHUNP). Also what are the difference between bodies in terms of collision/physics/vertex count? The pros and cons? The shape of the body doesn't really matter that much to me because you can change it however you like in bodyslide anyway. EDIT: Ok I did my own research and here are my thoughts after creating presets for both bodies now. I have good reason to use CBBE instead of BHUNP. Why? First let's compare the models. To get a fair comparison between the 2, I use the UNPB preset for both base meshes (CBBE and BHUNP). Some quick stats first: CBBE 3BA Full Body: Vertices: 13.554 Edges: 39.839 Faces: 26.286 CBBE 3BA Top (Orange Part): Vertices: 10.112 Edges: 29.846 Faces: 19.734 BHUNP Full Body: Vertices: 19.263 Edges: 56.719 Faces: 37.460 BHUNP Top (Orange Part): Vertices: 11.077 Edges: 32.711 Faces: 21632 CBBE and BHUNP have a very different distrubution of vertices. The top part of both bodies have around the same amount of vertices. CBBE distributes the vertices very evenly around the top mesh. BHUNP on the other hand has more vertices around the breast but has less vertices around the waist (compared to CBBE). BHUNP also has an increased amount of vertices around the legs but has very little around the hips (compared to CBBE). So why does this matter? Well if you are using bodyslide alot, your mesh transforms more smoothly the more vertices it has. BHUNP has more vertices so clear winner right? No, not really. Keeping in mind the observations above. BHUNP breasts and legs transform smoother than CBBE that is true. But the waist and hip area of BHUNP is a bit problematic. As you can see in this image below (part of waist and hip). It kind of abruptly changes from very high poly to low poly (even a little bit of stretching). When using bodyslide sliders this area will NOT look as smooth as CBBE. So if you want overall smoothness choose CBBE. If you want to trade hip and waist smoothness for more breast and leg smoothnes, choose BHUNP. I recreate bodies using models from other games as reference. I chose CBBE to get the best overall smoothness so I can more closely match those models. That way I dont have to worry about the hip and waist area. Both bodies have different sliders, see which ones you like. The base shape is different too, but just use bodyslide until you have a preset you like. Another reason why people would choose CBBE 3BA over BHUNP is the amount of armor available. However this argument isn't that valid anymore. Almost every newly released armor has both a CBBE 3BA and BHUNP conversion. There are some armors that currently are only available to CBBE and some only available to BHUNP. Best you can do is learn how to convert armors. 😉

Got an idea for a new sexlab mod you'd like to pitch or are starting? Discuss it here and I'll keep this post updated with known mods in development and ideas people have. ---- Current known mods in development ------------------------------ SexLab Succubus by ashal A player addition mod that gives the player the ability to be turned into a succubus/seducer. Functions much like a vampire, only instead of needing blood you need to have sex. As you progress as a succubus you gain sexual related abilities and buffs and the further you get from your last "feeding" the weaker you get with those abilities and start to suffer penalties. ---- Current unused mod ideas -------------------------------------------- Pay for inns and bounties with sex Integrate sexual options for progressing various vanilla quests Sex related perk tree STD risk Pregnancy risk

Married women in Skyrim refuses to have sex. Please help.🙏

Pour parler de tout et de rien

i recently started really playing cyberpunk2077. i try and play it as immersively as i can so that i even try and walk instead of running and pick the right outfit for the occasion things like that. but all it did was make me want to play modded skyrim again. so im wondering if someone could suggest a boat load of mods in order for me to have the most immersive game ever. i want every tiny minor detail in the game like having a a bladder and food needs, horny level, dirty feet if i'm barefoot, heat and cold being a problem, being able to see myself if i look down. the reason i posted to this site instead of nexus is because theres mods that add immersion on here that arent on nexus. also i need to state that i'm very used to modding, though i havent modded skyrim for years i think i should understand it again quickly. i've been modding cyberpunk too. the only thing i'll struggle with is load order. thanks to anyone for reading and responding, this isnt super urgent but i would like to start quite soon. i dont plan on playing the main story i just want to use the game as almost like a life simulator so any suggestions that come in super late can just be added afterwards!

After spending awhile tinkering with and downloading a large amount of female textures this thought crossed my mind. Mostly concerning the normal maps and their lack of any distinguishing details on certain textures like Fair Skin, The Pure, or Bijin. I wouldn't say it's a bad stylistic choice if it fit what the author was going for it just becomes problematic when combined with how pale the diffuses are. Especially when combined with certain lighting which can obscure the faint details that remain. Leaving you to basically rely on make-up to provide definition. I have a couple guesses on the reasons behind the popularity of this style (less seams, better for screenshots, the influence of anime, etc.), but I want to hear the opinion of people more experienced in texture work on this topic. Also I'm not challenging anybody who likes this style to defend their reasons for it. Just wanna see if anyone has any insight on the matter.

So I'm to start up a SexLabs play through of Skyrim and was wondering if anyone had some extra suggestions for any Mods I should use. I've got a set up of a few mods I like to use, but I don't want to over do it. Things being twitchy with SexLabs as they are. I'll include my current Mod List in the Spoiler so as to not text wall you guys. Now that SKSE64 is out of Alpha I'll be using Skyrim SE primarily for "Normal" modding, and using Oldrim to run SexLabs and other Sex based mods. The body I'm using is CBBE with HDT Physics and HDT Breast and Butt physics along with Fair Skin Complexion textures for the Human and Mer races, and Feminine Argonian and Khajit for the Beast races. The armor replace I'm running is CBBE Spice Geat and Minidresses with HDT. My current ENB is Unbleak ENB, but I'm looking for something better. Let me know if you know of any good ENBs to run with SexLabs. For quest mods I have Amorous Adventures, Sanguines Debauchery, From the Deep and Things in the Dark. I've got most of the Devious Devices Mods installed and a lot of Slave mods installed. I'm kind of looking to do an escaped Slave girl run. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Also here a SS of my characters beginnings in Skyrim. Zaria Ironheart, former Redguard Princess, now Slave awaiting transfer to her new owner.

Things that don't deserve their own threads. Just try to stay somewhat on-topic. Random shit. Basically. --- You may have noticed this... Some of my recent posts came off as rather aggressive, I'm dealing with some stuff IRL that's just bringing my whole mood down. I'm going to avoid sensitive topics in the future because I'm just not in the mindset to calmly speak about it. Sorry about all that. Really need to work on it. Question about this club: Are you guys able to create new topics in the individual sections? Or is that a function only limited to the owner of the club? If so just tell me the name of the thread you want created. I'll post it in the appropriate section.

(Edited this post, sorry my grammar is shit.) I wanted to expand on the werwolf content only because there are some things that can be added to enhance the game. Like the custom religion below, The Moon Goddess Luna. wanted to make those playing as a werewolf more feral and primal. event I wanna add will be called Day of age breeding, where when one of the kids turn of age you as a Alpha male can breed them. as for female i wanna make it to where you can sub or dom but if you sub the npcs will demand sex from you when they become of age because its there right as an alpha. this can work for a beta male as well. I also wanna add in heat thing to where if you play as a werewolf you got through a heat cycle. during this time other werewolfs can demand sex or just rape you. and if I can add a Pure Blood line thing to where if you have a son or daughter you an make it to where they will only have sex with you. I have an idea for a custom religion, since DW has none, unfortunately I'm very stupid and only started it, but its a general idea. I also wanted to add custom events and other things, but like I said I'm a shitty modder. I will be working more on this just needed some help. Also this file below Isnt a full mod its just the start, if a pro wants to take a look and patch it up and fix it be my guest. it has no localization or landed titles. Primal Ways.7z

Hi! I hope I'm putting this in the right section. Anyways, I have yet another question, I know theres a section on this site where you can look at photos people have uploaded using the kinky world mod. I was wondering how you get those poses and animations. Also, how the ukes and the semes look realistic but cute at the same time?? Like, the ukes will have bunny ears and have cute faces and the lil' blush. Whilst the seme/s, are usually wolves or humans, and they have a muscular, attractive face?? I know this probably doesn't make sense..But I hope someone can help me out!

Everyone feels lonely from time to time, sometimes for very long periods of time, wishing for different kinds of company. How do you deal with it and would you consider it a healthy solution?

It seems like the vast majority of gameplay and story mods are geared to a female PC. I’ve tried it, but I have difficulty with immersion. I can’t help but project myself onto my character. Inspired by isekai anime like Overlord, I’m even roleplaying as myself in this playthrough, who mysteriously woke up as a prisoner on the cart, somehow transported inside my own game. So I have all the knowledge of multiple playthroughs, but no idea how to return to the real world. Therefore, I’m looking for mods that I can be me, as I would act if I was transported into Skyrim, a straight male ready to abuse my newfound power as the Dragonborn. So what sex mods would you recommend? I have: - SLEN (I would for sure go around asking hot women for sex, and this is immersive dialogue sex with a relationship system) - SL Solutions (Of course I would have sex with women to advance my goals, or to abuse my position to make them fuck me to get what they want, or offer up slaves or certain followers to males) - Amorous Adventures (I want immersive quest mods that include sex. This gives me an immersive path to fuck many of my favorite NPCs and keep them as lovers.) - Defeat (Although I’d never even consider forcing someone in real life, this is a power fantasy. Mostly, I use this on bandits and other enemies. They tried to kill me, I can do whatever I want with them and why waste a good pussy? Plus, I am playing as a stealth mage, and sneaking behind someone, tying and gagging a hot bandit instead of slitting her throat works nicely with the play style. I sometimes use it on non enemies too. If I can’t get what I want by asking with SLEN, I will occasionally take it by force. I am the Dragonborn.) - Paradise Halls (I almost never use this with unique NPCs. I enslave enemies that I capture with Defeat. Much of the time, I don’t even care that much about the gold or items because the slaves I take are the real loot. They are criminals, and I will administer justice with my cock.) - Immersive Daedra Worship (This is a mod I’ve been working on for years and am almost ready for an alpha release. It allows you to become a true worshipper of Molag Bal. There is an ordinary house in the woods of Falkreath with a secret door that leads down to an ancient temple. You can perform a dark ritual where you can make someone a “Bride of Molag Bal,” and then rape them until their will breaks and/or sacrifice them. Molag Bal rewards you with great power based on your performance. The temple can serve as a player home, and there are plenty of cells to keep your slaves while they wait to be raped or sacrificed. There are also special cages designed to keep unique NPCs you kidnap as prisoners without killing/cloning them like PAHE. Participating in (or rescuing a girl from) demonic sex rituals and human sacrifice is my oldest fantasy. Again, these things are horrific IRL (and there are no daedric princes to grant you power anyway).) - Puppetmaster (I’m an Illusionist, so this is my wheelhouse. I use this when other mods don’t do the trick.) So what else do you suggest? I’m not into being submissive, lactation, or bestiality. I don’t think a pregnancy mod is worth the additional script load (besides, I play Skyrim to get a break from my kids IRL. I don’t even use the vanilla adoption system).

Hi there, I am currently working on a mash up of mods to make a very difficult version of the game, Revolving around sex/rape. This mod will bassicly make you play very carefully, As dropping below 30 HP Will result in you and your companion being Violated. Not only this, but ive thrown in a few other mods to make it even harder. I will leave names of the mods below this however this mod pack isn't fully finished yet so keep that in mind I may be adding more mods to the list in the future. (Note! This pack is mainly set up for a female player. But it should work fine with male's aswell) MODS: AAF Violate. - Settings for the mod in game: Chance to be violated? 100% Chance of equipment theft? 40% Chance to become a raider pet? 80% Chance To Be Abucted? (RSE II) 80% Chance of joining in a gangbang? 95% Chance to surrender? 100% (With cripple surrender ON) Devious Devices: Equip devices at start of scene, Force player and followers naked when equiping devices. Raider Pet Mod. Perversions. Devious Devices. AAF Seu: (You will need to use the Masterbait function in order to clear debuffs from the perversions mod) RSE II Combat Surrender & Abduction's. (Any animation packs you like.) (And more to come. If this topic needs to be moved i'm ok with that. I didn't really know where to post it since it's not a full mod and more of a pack. If anybody has any suggestions of mods I could add to make this even more difficult please let me know!)

Should you use enb or not? If your gameplay consists mostly of taking screenshots then I'd say yes. It can look much better than the vanilla game if tweaked correctly and since the major downside to enb is decreased fps, it won't matter in photos. If you want to play the game normally with an enb then it really depends on your machine and your tolerance for low fps. I'm running a Radeon 5600xt and play at 144fps with a 144hz monitor. People will tell you running at greater than 60fps is pointless but I can attest it's not. That is, so long as you have a monitor with a high enough refresh rate to actually display it. If you're used to/don't mind 60 fps then that just means you won't need as much hardware to run an enb cleanly! I normally don't run enb but I've been playing around with it again recently and find that I lose a solid 50fps. Normally I run 144fps in interiors and 90 outdoors, this drops to 90 and 40 respectively with enb enabled. 40 fps shouldn't be acceptable for anyone, especially if you're used to a solid 90+ at all times. This is why I don't use enb, the loss of fidelity is simply not worth it for the stunning still/closeup moments. Mind you, I'm losing 50fps on average, this doesn't even account for actual fps heavy scenes where I've seen it drop to 30 or less while enb is enabled. I'd say if you want to play at 60 fps with enb, then you should first be getting at least 120fps at all times outdoors without enb. If you play on 144 like me you'll probably need to be able to push 150 at all times outdoors. Of course fps is subjective and some people don't care about it at all, go you! I, however, can not go back from 144 to anything less. The smoothness of motion, the heightened control, the sheer immersion is worth more to me than textures and shadows. In order to unlock your framerate you will need to add bLockFrameRate=0 under [Display] in your Skyrim.ini (documents/mygames/skyrim) I highly recommend using Bethini for editing your ini files. The next thing is to set fMaxTime=x under [Havok] where x equals 1 divided by your desired framerate. So fMaxTime=0.00833333 for 120fps or fMaxTime=0.00694444 for 144fps etc. In bethini, this setting is simply labeled as fps and you can set it to the literal fps number you want and it'll do the math automatically. If you need something to track your fps, you can use something like MSI Afterburner, enb itself if you have it installed and press numpad *, or from steam>settings>in game there is an option to show fps counter there. Skyrim has this weird thing where it doesn't run higher than 60fps even if your ini settings are changed, I always have to alt+tab out and back in to the game for my ini cap to actually take effect. I usually do it on the main menu before I load my game and when I don't, I can immediately tell something isn't right. Movement of the camera, motion, everything is just choppy at 60fps. I've made some videos in an attempt to show the difference between 60fps and beyond. My capture software only allows recording of 120fps so I can't capture the full glory of 144fps but I have set the playback to 50% and 25% so you can see the differences and they really do add up to a cleaner look in fast motion. ENB on/off comparison: 120fps capture 50% speed (60fps) 25% speed (30fps) its the same exact scene, one side with enb off (shift+f12) and the other side with it flipped on. fpstest.mp4 You can see how the left side has smoother motion whereas the right side is constantly stuttering because of the lowered fps. Note that her looks under enb shouldn't be indicative of an optimized enb appearance as she was made to look good in vanilla, not enb. Sex test: 120fps capture 50% speed (60fps) 25% speed (30fps) the number in the video is the fps the game is effectively running at. Its the same scene shot one after the other, the right was taken first without tabbing and the left was taken after simply alt+tabbing out and back into the game, thus enabling my full 144 framerate. sextest.mp4 Again you can see, particularly at 25% speed, how much smoother the image is at >60fps Gameplay test: 120fps capture (90fps effectively) 25% speed (30fps) l loaded up an old save right before a giant encounter. Again same thing, one is capped at 60fps and the other is uncapped but I only get about 90fps outdoors. gametest.mp4 This is a scenario where your fps will be at its lowest, I suspect enb would've made this unplayable. The differences here are hardly noticable, but if you skip to 0:40 you can see the left side make a quick turn that is surprisingly smooth compared to the one the right makes at 1:02. I've found that these quick movements with higher fps makes a difference between your eyes becoming completely unfocused during the turn, or a more immersive feeling like you're actually there. Theoretically, the higher the fps the faster you could swing the camera without being played a slideshow. Hopefully you can now see why fps matters and can make a more educated decision about whether or not to use mods which significantly lower it given the promise of increased visuals. Note also that there's no reason to push higher than 60fps if your monitor can't display it i.e. 60hz monitor or if your computer settings are not set to utilize greater refresh rates (right click desktop/display settings/advanced display settings/adapter properties/monitor)

I have been on this forum for a long time, and I have watched the development cycle for dozens of mods. I understand that making stable mods that offer a lot of features is damn hard, but I don't understand why there aren't many smaller mods with a specific function. I'm not trying to say mods like CD are bad, I think that they are a masterpiece and they have a lot of labor put into them to make them what they are now. But I have a problem where I for example want the heel function from Immersive Fashion, but I don't want the hair scripts and the shop. Extra functions are never bad right? Well installing all these AAA mods for specific functions makes the game way more unstable. Yes you can disable most of the features in MCM, but you can't always disable everything you don't use. The second issue is when different mods handle the same thing. I want to run for example Defeat, SD+ and Cursed Loot. I want Defeat to handle combat encounters, SD+ enslavement and quests, and Cursed Loot for random wilderness encounters when my character is naked or unarmed. I have tried running these mods together with settings tweaked, but my game still crashes or everything becomes buggy after some time. The point of this wasn't to call anyone out or to spit on peoples work. The mods I mentioned are absolutely amazing and I have used them all at some point in time. I just want to hear other peoples opinions on this topic and maybe some tips about modding.

Title says it all. What are your favorite, sexiest, most amorous moments from sexlab-related playthroughs?

Hello, I'm in need of assistance with getting sexlab survival to work fully with it's extensions in SkyrimVR. Please feel free to share any information, or help out in any way you can. Load order in spoiler Current issues encountered: Unable to open character menus (ie: Inventory, magic, skills, map) or the menu to select said menus. Unable to save or load game as well as open quests or general stats in pause menu. Using Vortex to install mods Using original vive headset through steam vr. Using Loot for sorting load order I have not received any error messages while exiting the game or while in game in the first place. Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Something I think that would be really cool is Dominant & Submissive traits. A thing I thing is seriously lacking in the WickedWhims mod. Would also be cool to have other types of traits as well

Talk about or post whatever, as long as it follows LL rules.
