Introduction So you decided to jump into Diary of Mine to spice things up in your PAHE game? Great! As you may have seen already, this mod is pretty complex, and adds a lot of new mechanics. I'll break them down here for you and do my best to give you the information you need to have a quick start to emotionally impactful slavery! What's it Do? So simply put, Diary of Mine or 'DoM' is an expansion to the Paradise Halls Extended mod or 'PAHE.' The main feature of DoM is the psychological component, it adds personality types, traits, moods, and reaction to almost everything you do to a slave, and makes training much more difficult and much much more rewarding. If you've ever become bored with default PAHE training (whip, sex, whip, sex, address me properly, whip, whip, whip, etc.) then this mod is for you. I'll go through it all in sections to make it easy to understand, because like I said, there's a whole lot going on here. HEXACO and Psychology In real life, there is something in psychology known as the HEXACO model. This model uses six main traits for determining personality, Honesty, Emotionality, EXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. HEXACO! Get it? Now each of these factors is represented in the mod, and each slave will be given a random value between 1 and 100 for each one. Some of the words are different in the actual mod, like Emotionality is actually Anxiousness for the sake of simplicity, we'll get to all that soon enough. On top of those six, there are also six secondary traits, which are linked to the HEXACO factors and slaves' reactions to things. The six secondaries are: Weak/Willful, Delicate/Tough, Frigid/Sensual, Dominant/Submissive, Needy/Bold, and Stupid/Smart. So every person in the game now has a total of 12 personality dimensions. Slave Psychology You can see a slave's personality by saying 'Let's have a serious chat!' and then asking 'What kind of slave are you, exactly?' Saying this will produce a chart for the slave that looks like this: Now you don't have to use this sheet, it's a bit daunting I know. But just for the sake of showing you how the mod works I'm going to explain it a bit. As you can see, she has a score from 1 to 100 in each of the 12 factors. The way it works is, anything lower than 50 means they are more towards the left side of traits (unlawful, anxious, lazy, etc) and scores higher than 50 mean they align more with the right. (bold, willful, smart, etc.) Anything around 50 exactly means they're just average in that area and it has little to no affect on how the slave will react to you or your actions. We'll get into what each trait is useful/annoying for, but at this point just understand that every NPC you enslave gets their sheet created on enslavement and it is random. However some factors influence the randomness, like the NPCs race and 'job' (bandit, farmer, etc.) You can check out the mod description and see a summary of the racial affects there. It's mostly what you would guess (orcs have higher toughness, High Elves are smarter, etc.) Now if you don't want to use the sheet, you can just ask the slave 'What kind of slave are you?' This will provide a much simpler pop-up. Like this: This just shows you the important parts of the slave's personality, you can just assume that every other traits is around 50 if it isn't mentioned specifically. I'll explain those sensitivities and resistances near the bottom of this entry. What Does That Mean? So you've seen the chart and the numbers, but what does it all mean? Well, certain traits have different reactions to different things, and you can see this by using the simpler sheet, where the slave tells you what they are weak/resistant to. Additionally, some of the traits have their own little effects on gameplay/training. They are: Unlawful/Honest Unlawful characters make better thugs(we'll get there) HomeSweetHome(HSH) taskmistresses, and HSH trainers. Honest characters are conversely worse thugs, taskmistresses, and trainers. Honesty also partly determines how fast submission is gained. Anxious/Calm Anxiety will determine how fast fear training is gained, but more importantly how easy it is to make a slave feel scared. Shy/Lively A shy slave will gain humiliation faster and will be easier to make feel ashamed, a lively slave is more difficult. Grumpy/Kind This determines a slave's anger training speed, a kinder slave will be more prone to falling in love while a grumpy slave will hate you for longer. Additionally, grumpy slaves make better taskmistresses in HSH. Lazy/Thorough A lazy slave gains resignation slower, a thorough slave gains it faster. Shallow/Open Shallow slaves make better HSH taskmistresses, trainers, and thugs. This trait also determines how hard it is to make a slave feel loyal (see below). Needy/Bold Needy slaves gain resignation faster, bold slaves slower. Additionally, bold slaves make better HSH trainers and thugs. Weak/Willful Willfulness works together with honesty to determine how fast submission is gained by inflicting pain. Stupid/Smart Smart slaves have a higher chance of escaping when they are tied up. This trait also has an effect on how hard it is to make the slave feel loyal, smarter slaves take longer. Additionally, smart slaves are better HSH taskmistresses. Delicate/Tough Delicateness determines sensitivity to pain, and also the fear of it. Delicate slaves will fear the whip and become scared quicker. Frigid/Sensual Determines the odds of orgasm and arousal(we'll get there) and rate of sex training. Dominant/Submissive Determines how fast submission is gained through sex. Additionally, dominant slaves make better thugs and HSH trainers. Training Summary For taskmistresses you want smart, shallow, and grumpy. For thugs and trainers you want dominant, shallow, and bold. For both you want unlawful(low honesty) This is the most important trait. "How Are You Feeling?" So everything that we talked about has to do with the slaves' personality, the way that they are. Next we are going to talk about feelings, which are temporary states of mind that can happen when you do certain things to the slaves. Feelings go away after a while, and certain actions are more effective during certain feelings. You can see how a slave feels by asking them under "Let's have a serious chat...How are you feeling, slave?" Or you can look at their facial expressions, as they will cry when sad, look terrified when scared, and smile when in love etc. You will also get a notification when a slave's feeling has changed. There are two types in this category: feelings and emotions. Feelings can change quickly while emotions take longer to adjust. Essentially, a slave can feel powerless as an acute version of feeling sad, that is, the slave may be helpless for a moment but can be sad for hours in-game. The emotions and feelings are: Sad/Helplessness Slaves get sad from punishment or scolding. When a slave is sad they will frown and have tears coming down their face (if you have SlaveTats installed) During this state, oral sex training is more efficient. If you keep punishing them with pain, they may become shocked. Ashamed/Degraded Slaves get ashamed by being objectified. If you force a slave to strip, pose, or masturbate they may become ashamed. They can also be ashamed by being naked or wearing degrading clothes. (this mod recognizes 'degrading' clothes as any prisoner/beggar clothes or miner clothes from the vanilla game) Ashamed slaves have a bonus to all types of sex training efficiency. Angry/Guilty Slaves get angry a lot, especially new ones. A slave can get angry for any reason, usually just because they hate you for a while after you just captured them. Angry slaves have their anal sex efficiency raised. Scared/Powerless Slaves get scared from pain and other punishment. A scared slave will be more obedient while they're scared, like a scared slave may strip even though they normally would refuse you. Scared slaves have a smaller bonus to sex training efficiency than ashamed, but it is still a bonus. Worthless/Disciplined This is how much a slave values themselves personally compared to you. The feeling and emotion are both linked to respect training, so the more a slave is made to address you properly etc., the more the slave will think of themselves as worthless. The higher echelons of worthlessness manifest themselves as discipline, where the slave is firmly planted as an inferior to its master in its own eyes. Shocked In slave training, there are few things more effective than making a slave shocked. In this state, punishment is more effective, they will be more obedient, and there is an even smaller bonus to sex training than with scared, but a bonus nonetheless. A slave gets shocked from repeated punishment in a short period of time, they usually become sad first and then if you continue they may be shocked. In Love A well-trained slave with high anger training as well may fall in love with you. For this to happen, the slave must have been shocked at least once, and you must have had sex with them at least once. Slaves may not be permanently in love though, oftentimes they will be in love, then not, then in love again for a longer period of time, then not again, and so on. Don't get discouraged if a slave falls out of love with you, they'll be back! An in love slave is the sign that you have a perfectly trained servant, good job! Loyal Loyal is what happens when you have a slave that would be in love with you, except you've never had sex with them. In other words, if you have a well-trained slave that's been shocked once, but you never had sex with them, they may become loyal instead of in love. A loyal slave is also the sign that they are perfectly trained, congratulations! Broken A broken slave is one that has resigned to you, and will behave themselves. While not exactly loyal or in love, they will not be causing any problems. Broken slaves can also be punished for no reason without the normal penalties for doing so. (see below) A broken slave is also a sign that you've done a good job. Jealousy, Depression, and Rivals Jealousy Honestly this might be my favorite feature in this mod. Once you have an in-love slave, there is a chance they will get jealous when they see you have sex with or comfort other slaves. When they become jealous, they will look angry, and can tell you they are jealous if you ask how they feel. Here's the best part: a jealous slave will always refuse sex, but raping them is the best way to get them out of the jealous mood. What this means is that they act all bratty and bad on purpose and they want you to rape them, if you do it, they will go back to in-love. (it may take a couple of tries) Alternatively, scolding a jealous slave works too, but why would you want to miss out on the rebellious brat sex?!? Depression Depending on the slave's personality, they might not be the jealous type, instead they may get depressed when another slave would get jealous. By the same means a slave becomes jealous, another can become depressed. In this case, scolding and raping are not what you want to do. Instead, you should comfort the slave using one of the below options to make them feel better. Whipping them is also supposed to help them overcome the depression, but that's a little dark, even for me. Rivals Slaves can form friendships, but also rivalries. If you have two jealousy-prone slaves, it is possible they will form a rivalry. Rivals hate each other, and sometimes if one sees you have sex with their rival, they'll attack the rival afterwards. You can of course punish them for this, which will put an end to the fight. To prevent this, you can restrain one rival while having sex with the other, then they can't attack. Please be advised that as of now slaves will use weapons in their inventory to murder their rivals, it is not exactly intended but it is unknown if it can be prevented at this point. You've been warned! You can turn off rivalry attacks in the MCM if you do not want to take the risk. Jealousy and Depression will eventually stop happening, as the slave will get used to your behavior and stop freaking out about it. Rivals only attack each other when they are jealous, so when they get used to it and stop becoming jealous, then they won't attack, but will still have the rival, technically. "What's wrong with you?" You will see this option if your slave is sad, depressed, or shocked. Pressing this will give you four options: guilt, comfort, insult, and sex. Guilting raises anger training, comforting raises respect, and insult raises both. Comfort sex will also raise respect by a fixed amount. Anyways, back to the feelings. Typically, your slaves will say something like this when they're still new and you ask how they feel: But eventually you can get something like this. Try not to be too jealous New Training Values DoM adds some new training values it addition to the normal PAHE ones. In total, they are as follows: Submission Fear Training Humiliation Anger Training Broken (Resignation) Respect Vaginal Combat Oral Pose House Anal I'll give a brief description of each, so you know what's important. Submission Submission is DIFFERENT in DoM than in regular PAHE. Submission in PAHE means how trained the slave is, and will stop them from running if it's high enough etc. In DoM it is completely different. Submission now shows how submissive a slave is to you sexually not personally. What's that mean? Well pretty much, a slave can have 100 in submission but still try to escape. Why? Because 100 submission means the slave is submissive to you when you fuck them, but is still looking for ways to escape when you're not. As such, submission is now raised by making the slave masturbate, strip, and have sex with you. It has some effect on slave value in AYGAS, and will determine which animation is played when you command the slave to masturbate (see below.) Fear Training There still isn't a use for fear training, but that could change in the future. For now, fear training can be raised by making your slave feel scared, but it has pretty much no effect on gameplay...yet. Humiliation Humiliation is raised by ripping off clothes and stripping. Right now, humiliation level will work together with submission to determine the animations played by checking the slave's value and masturbation. (See below) Anger training Anger training means how much the slave likes you. You can have a perfectly trained slave who secretly hates you, or a slave who is in love with you. Both of these outcomes depend somewhat on anger training now. You can raise anger training by punishing a slave for being angry, and by praising well-trained slaves when they are good. (See below.) Broken (Resignation) Resignation level has pretty much replaced submission. Now resignation determines when a slave will try to escape or not. (>60 = no escaping, by default) It's also the main determinant in finding AYGAS sale value. Think of this one as how trained your slave is in general, high resignation = trained slave, low resignation = unruly harlot. Resignation also determines some of the animations played by this mod, with higher resignation having a greater variety than low levels. (See below) Respect Respect is pretty much the same in DoM as in PAHE, the only difference is scolding and praising can sometimes raise respect training as well as the usual method. Submission still determines when you can make a slave 'address you properly' so keep that in mind. (>40 submission) Sex Training (Vaginal, Anal, and Oral) Sex training is much more complicated now than it was before. Masturbation(see below) raises vaginal training and makes it increase more if a sex scene follows it right away. Being in love, ashamed, or shocked all give a buff to sex training when it's done during these moods. In love is the highest and shocked is the lowest, but they are all better than a normal mood. The three areas each have their own bonuses too, scared makes vaginal training better, sad makes oral training better, and angry makes anal training better. Matching these sex acts with their moods can make sex training a lot quicker. Combat Pretty much the same as in PAHE. Pose Pose has an effect on the slave's AYGAS value, and also determines how likely they are to hold a pose for as long as you want. It's raised by making them pose, and punishing them when they don't. High levels mean a slave can pose for days without cancelling it. House Not used yet, but the plan is for house training to involve something with cooking or cleaning etc. Ignore for now. Here's a chart which illustrates how all of these things work together. Main training Secondary training Feeling examples Feeling Linked emotion Personality facet Main abuse type Submission Vaginal Is my life threatened? Obedient Pain Humility = Honesty - Willpower Physical and sexual Fear Combat Can I fight back? Powerless Fear Fearfulness = Emotionality - Toughness Psychological Humiliation Oral No one should ever know! Degraded Shame Confidence = eXtraversion + Sensuality Sexual Anger Pose Is it my fault? Guilt Stress Forgiveness = Agreeableness + Submissiveness Physical Resignation House Can I escape? Helplessness Sorrow Prudent = Conscientiousness - Boldness Physical and psychological Respect Anal Am I worthless? Low self-esteem Discipline Unconventionality = Openness + Smart Psychological and sexual Stockholm Syndrome PTSD events How do I survive? Denial Love X All Gameplay So now you know how the engine works, let's teach you how to drive. The main thing to understand is this new mechanic called Punishment Reasons. These are reasons for punishing your slaves! In DoM, punishing for no reason is usually a bad idea, but sometimes it's useful. Certain actions will give you punishment reasons, and if you punish them for these reasons they will raise certain training levels. There's a whole bunch of reasons, I'll try to list them all, but pretty much if you think a slave should be punished, it's probably true. You will get a notification if the slave is being punishing for a reason or not. The reasons to date are: Did not Pose If a slave cancels a pose you told them to do, that's a reason. Did not Masturbate If a slave cancels a masturbation or refuses to do it, that's a reason. Did not Wait If you tell a slave to "Wait here, and don't move!" and they move, that's a reason. Did not Strip If you say "Strip, now!" and they refuse, that's a reason Was not Respectful If you tell them to address you properly and they forget, that's a reason. No Sex If you say "I'm going to fuck you." and they say "By the Gods!", that's a reason. Spoke out of Turn Slaves will sometimes say how they feel, you can tell them to stop that. If they do it anyway, that's a reason. Covering Self You say "Strip, now!" and then the slave covers their body? That's a reason. Crying Crying? That's a reason. Being Angry Being angry, that's a reason. Punishing without a reason can have a few different effects. Usually it means the slave will get angry, sad, or scared. It will also lower Anger and Respect training, since the slave likes you less and respects you less for punishing them randomly. It can be useful to punish without a reason though, especially if you're trying to shock your slave, sometimes you just can't wait for a reason, but expect slaves that get randomly whipped for no reason to secretly hate you, even if they are well trained. To see if you have any reasons available, say "Let's have a serious chat...Enjoying your slave life?" At the bottom of that sheet you will see any reasons for punishing/praising, otherwise you can try to keep track in your head. This sheet will also show warnings, which are explained below. So that's when to punish a slave, now let's look at how to punish a slave. Each slave will have resistances and sensitivities based on their personality, it's up to you to exploit those to train a slave as fast and as well as possible. To do this, you have some new interactions available: Scolding "Come here, slave...You're a bad slave!" It's what it sounds like, you yell at your slave for being bad. This doesn't really do much on untrained slaves except make them angry, but on well-trained slaves it has a greater affect than actual punishments at times. It can also raise respect training. Praising "Come here slave...You have been a good slave." Again it's what it sounds like, you tell you're slave they've been good. This also makes untrained slaves angry, but it makes well-trained slaves like you more. (If you care about that sort of thing) It also makes them feel better if they're crying or in shock. Strip Strip, now! This is an order for the slave to strip, untrained slaves usually won't do it, so it's a good way to begin training. Well-trained and scared slaves will always do it when ordered. Rip off Clothes "Come here slave...Let's rip your clothes off!" This just plays an animation where you rip the slave's clothes off, raising Humiliation training. Posing "Let's see how much you're worth!" This one is very useful. Your slave will do a pose based on their resignation level, and get some resignation training for doing the pose. Perhaps more importantly, they will also get pose training from holding the pose, and you can punish them while posing to raise their pose training. It will also tell you how much the slave would be worth if you sold it in AYGAS. Body Inspection "Come here slave...Time for a body inspection!" This one has you grope the slave, shaming them and slightly raising submission, they will also pose afterwards, and you can again punish them for breaking the pose early if they do, raising pose training just like the previous example. Touch Yourself "Come here slave...Touch Yourself" This makes the slave masturbate, which raises vaginal sex training by a small amount. If they do it long enough, they may begin blushing and become aroused. This means that the next time you have sex with the slave, there's a higher chance of orgasm. We'll get into that later. Once again the slave will do this until you tell them to stop, if they stop early, you can punish them for it. So if your slave is resistant to scolding, then physical punishment is probably better. However if they are sensitive to praising, make sure you use every opportunity to encourage them and they'll like you faster. NEW! Flattery & Insults You can now say something nice (or not) to your slaves. Flattery will give you options to say something kind, sexy, or romantic. Sexy and romantic will help the slave fall in love faster, while a kind word will just make them like you slightly more. Insults will do the opposite, and can make the slave feel degraded, scared, or sad. Using a sexual insult will make the slave feel objectified, the rest just make them feel bad in general. NEW! Promises You can also make a promise to the slave, which you have to keep for 24 hours. If you do it successfully, the slave will appreciate it and like or fear you more. The current promises are: Be Gentle: This is a promise not to whip, rape, or choke the slave. Consensual sex and scolding are fine. Pain: This is a promise to slap the crap out of a slave. This one makes them fear you if you keep it. Gold: This is a promise to give the slave jewelry or high-value items. Freedom: This is a promise to release the slave in 24 hours. This is mostly for roleplay right now. NEW! Threats Threats are when you warn the slave not to disobey in a certain way. They will then be less likely to do that, and will also respond better to punishments if they fail to do it. They are best used when a slave has trouble following a specific command, or when it's hard to train them in a certain stat. The current threats are: Not Agreeing to Sex Not Waiting Not Posing Not Masturbating Not Stripping Running Away Not Fighting Covering Self Crying Not Being Respectful Resistances Here are the resistances and their effects, a slave will say "I am sensitive to X and resistant to Y" etc. Remember this? Anger: Used to determine when slaves get angry at you. Comforting: Raises the effect of praising and calming down a slave when they're shocked or upset. Pressure: Used when slaves try to escape and trip while running away. Distress: used when slaves are shocked to decide if a trauma should be registered. Trauma: Used to determine the intensity of the trauma and the effect on personality traits. Unfairness: Used to determine the intensity of the loss in anger training, when punishing for no reason. Injustice: Used to determine how much anger is built up when friends are punished. Authority: Used to determine how slaves respond to orders and show respect. Pleasure: Gives a bonus to submission after sex training. Bondage: Used to determine the efficiency of training while in bondage. Confusion: Used when slaves body gets pleasure while their mind is trying to fight it. Manipulation: Used to determine bonus for scold and praise dialogues. Warnings: You can also warn your slave against certain actions, they'll be less likely to do it, but if they do anyway, you can punish them with a much greater effect! To warn a slave, go to the "Listen to me slave..." dialogues. Each branch has a handful of warnings, you can only have one type of warning at a time, it will remain in effect until you choose a different one. Sometimes they start out angry... But they all learn eventually... NEW! Wheel Menus With all of the options and dialogue currently available, it can be hard to navigate through all of it. Because of this, the author of the mod implemented wheel menus. These are basically little menus that you can bind to hotkeys, when they pop up, you will see all of the options normally available through dialogue, and can take a lot of actions much faster than before. Currently, there are 6 different wheel menus available. They are: Order Menu Stats Menu Abuse Menu Training Menu Group Menu Group Abuse Menu Each one can be bound to a hotkey, or you can also press (Shift + hotkey for the left option) to get the right option, and vice versa, can also change Shift to something else. Personally, I have Order Menu as my Mouse 4 button, Abuse Menu as my Mouse 5 button, U as my group order button, and Alt as my modifier key. This means Alt + Mouse4 is the Stats Menu, Alt + Mouse5 is the Training Menu, and Alt + U is the Group Abuse Menu. Personalize it however you like! Now I'll explain what each menu does, using my very helpful and totally willing assistant, Carlotta Valentia. Order Menu The first menu is the order menu, and it looks like this: This menu has the following options: Inventory: This opens up the slave's inventory and lets you take/give them items. They will then equip whatever you gave them after you close the inventory. Fight for Me: This tells the slave to fight for you in combat, this is literally the same as using the dialogue: "Ok slave...From now on you will fight for me." Entertain Me: This opens up another wheel for various entertainment options. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Entertain me, slave!" Entertainment is explained near the bottom of this post under "Miscellaneous Information" Be my Maid: This commands the slave to clean up the area around them. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Listen to me slave, you are in charge of cleaning the mess around here." Order to: This puts the slave in a command state, like telling a follower to do something. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Ok slave...You are going to do something for me." Wait Here: This tells the slave to wait around their immediate area. They might still move around a bit, and maybe sandbox in some furniture. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Wait around here" Stand Still: This tells the slave to wait, but stand exactly where they are. They will not sandbox or move around at all. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Stay here, and don't move!" Following: This is where the "follow me" command would be, except this slave is already following me, so the option is not there. If she was waiting, then this would say "Follow me". The same is true for the waiting commands. Stats Menu The next one is the stats menu, sometimes called the info menu by the mod. This menu looks like this: This menu has the following options: Personality This shows the slave's personality, as described near the top of this post. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Let's have a serious chat! What kind of slave are you?" Be Respectful This tells the slave to be respectful when talking to you. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Ok slave...From now on you will address me as a slave should, understand?" Be Silent This tells the slave to stop speaking. They will only talk to you when you interact with them, and will no longer make comments on things going on around them. This is the same as using the dialogue "Listen to me slave, only speak when I address you, understand?" Tie Up This just ties up the slave. It is the same as using the dialogue: "I'm going to make sure you stay here." Put in Bag Very funny option, it literally stuffs the slave into a sack and puts it in your inventory. The sack weighs 100, and can be dropped, put in containers, and equipped. To release the slave from a sack, drop it and use either of the wheel menus to open it again and let them out. Status This is just a basic overview of their current emotional status, including how they feel about you, themselves, being a slave, etc. Mood This gives you a rundown of the slave's experience so far, how many times you did one thing or another. It is the same as using the dialogue: "Enjoying your slave life?" This option also shows punishment reasons. Feelings This is how the slave feels, and is the same as asking "How are you feeling, slave?" Abuse Menu The abuse menu looks like this: This menu has the following options: Clothes This lets you set the slave's clothing status. You can tell them never to wear clothes, to strip, and to put clothes back on. Display This plays a display idle to check how much you will get for them if you sold them in the mod And You Get a Slave! by Musje. This is the same as the dialogue: "Let's see how much you're worth!" Kiss This opens up another menu with a few kiss options. Each one plays a different animation. Inspect This opens up another menu that lets you pick an inspection animation. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Time for a body inspection." Masturbate This opens up another menu that lets you pick a masturbation animation. This is the same as using the dialogue: "Touch yourself!" Forbid Orgasm This tells the slave not to have an orgasm when masturbating or during sex. Sex This opens up another menu for sex animation selection, and will play consensual animations. Rape This opens up another menu for sex animation selection, and will play non-consensual animations. Training Menu The training menu looks like this: And it has the following options: Punish This option appears when you have a punishment reason for the slave. It then opens another menu and lets you pick which thing you want to punish, then opens up another menu to let you pick what punishment you want to give. Praise This option appears when you have a praise reason for the slave. It then opens another menu and lets you pick which thing you want to praise, then opens up another menu to let you pick what kind of praise you want to give. Promise This lets you make a promise to the slave, which you will have to keep for 24 hours. Promises are explained further above in this post. Flatter This lets you say something nice to the slave, and can be sexy, romantic, or nice. This is explained further above in the post. Public Humiliation This lets you pick the slave up and humiliate them in front of everyone. Threaten This lets you make a threat against the slave. This is explained further above in the post. Group Menu & Group Abuse Menu The group menus are basically group versions of the other menus, and have a lot of the same options, except they will do it to all of the slaves you have with you at the time. Potions, Alcohol, and Charms So now you know that some slaves are simply harder to train than others, some may even seem impossible at first. But worry not, you have a few tools at your disposal to make things a little easier. Potions If you want to play an alchemist-type slaver, then there are four potions available at this time. They are: Potion of Love This potion will make your slave fall in love with you, however the effect will wear off depending on how close they were to falling in love with you already. If they hated you before, it won't last long. If they nearly loved you, it may be permanent. Potion of Lust This potion makes slaves more sensitive to sex, making them more likely to orgasm and raising their sex training efficiency. Potion of Lash This potion makes slaves more sensitive to pain, making them scare more easily from the whip and raise submission/resignation faster from it. Also makes them much easier to shock. Potion of Mind Breaking This potion will make a slave enter the 'broken' mood. They will obey for as long as it lasts, the advantage of this is that broken slaves can be punished for no reason without the normal penalties. They also train faster when broken. You can find one of each potion in Fort Greymoor, the bandit fort near the watchtower in Whiterun where you fight your first dragon. To create more potions, go to Drelas' Cottage to the Northwest, he has a special alchemy table that will show you the recipes. To make a slave drink a potion, give it to them and say "Come here, slave...Drink the potion I gave you!" Charms If you want to do a mage-type slaver, then charms are available. The charms are just like the Potions, there is one for each of the potion effects, the only difference is these are spells instead of potions. Also, some of them are not actually placed in game yet, so you will have to use the console or AddItemMenu, but beware as they are still being tested. Love Charm This charm will make your slave fall in love with you, however the effect will wear off depending on how close they were to falling in love with you already. If they hated you before, it won't last long. If they nearly loved you, it may be permanent. Lust Charm This charm makes slaves more sensitive to sex, making them more likely to orgasm and raising their sex training efficiency. Lash Charm This charm makes slaves more sensitive to pain, making them scare more easily from the whip and raise submission/resignation faster from it. Also makes them much easier to shock. Mind Breaking Charm This charm will make a slave enter the 'broken' mood. They will obey for as long as it lasts, the advantage of this is that broken slaves can be punished for no reason without the normal penalties. They also train faster when broken. As of now, only the love charm can be found in game, in Olava's house in Whiterun. The others are still being tested but can be added by console, use responsibly. Alcohol If you don't want to use magic or potions, you can also use the first potion known to man: alcohol. Slaves can get drunk, this essentially makes them easier to train, and they also are more sensitive to sex. Drunk slaves are also less prone to escape alone. On the other hand drunk slaves might be a bit too enthusiastic when seeing a friend trying to run away, and join them. In this case expect a lot of tripping. To get a slave drunk, give them alcohol and say "Come here, slave...You need to loosen up, have a drink!" They will drink whatever you give them. You will get a notification about how much they were able to drink. Keep in mind that wines are better than meads/ales, as they will try to drink the entire bottle of whatever it is. If they "spilled most of it" you should probably have them try again, if they "drank the entire bottle" you might want to wait and see what that does to them. After drinking, wait about one hour in-game to see how drunk they get. To check, ask them how they are feeling. Outright drunk slaves will fall down a lot, while slightly drunk or tipsy slaves won't do that as often. Slaves generally stay drunk for around 6-8 hours, sobering up slowly over time. Automated Training and Thugs: If you use HomeSweetHome, then trainers and taskmistresses will act differently than before, as stated above. Essentially slaves that fit the personality described above will be better at their job. Additionally there are thugs added by this mod, which are slaves that are both in love and have resignation above 90. A slave with these requirements can be turned into a thug which is capable of training other slaves without HomeSweetHome. Orgasm and Personality Shifts Now you should think of the personality sheets as permanent and unchangeable, because they mostly are. However, there's a few ways to change them slightly. For example, each time a slave is trained in HSH, the trainer will improve their trainer personality traits (unlawful, dominant, shallow, and bold) and the taskmistress in charge of the house where those slaves were trained will become slightly better by having her traits changed (unlawful, smart, shallow, and grumpy) The same applies for thugs, they will have their traits move towards better trainer traits every time they complete a slave's training. The other way to alter these traits is by orgasm. Keep in mind this does not mean a SexLab orgasm, DoM has its own orgasm mechanic that is based on personality and mood, you will see a notification if a slave orgasms, and they will also drool and blush if they aren't already. Every time a slave orgams, her submissiveness, sensualness, and openness will increase. All of those make it easier to orgasm, so you can essentially turn slaves from frigid bitches into bimbos if you want. She will also be more likely to fall in love with you each time she orgasms. Personality Alteration spells exist, but they are mostly for debugging purposes now, however feel free to use them if you wish. You can find the first two "Boost Personality" and "Shrink Personality" in Fort Greymoor, where you can find the potions. Boost will add value to each personality category, making a slave identify more with the right side of traits (Kind, Thorough, Open, Bold, etc.) while Shrink will do the opposite, making them more like the left side of traits (Lazy, Shallow, Stupid, Grumpy, etc.) Keep in mind this is true for all traits, so for example making a slave smarter with Boost will also make them more bold, open, kind, and thorough. This is an intentional tradeoff. The last spell, "Reset Personality" can be found in Drelas' Cottage, where you find the special alchemy table to make the potions. Reset will just move the slave's personality back to where it was before you used either of the other spells on them. Miscellaneous Information Friends: If you leave the option enabled in the MCM, slaves can be friends with each other. Punishing a friend in front of the other will have certain effects on them, either anger, fear, or even resignation training. Entertainment You can now tell your slaves to entertain you! Under the dialogue option, "Entertain me, slave!" you will have a few options. "Just be cute" will play the cute animations, like the one below, or play a random pose from GSPoses, if you have it installed. "Dance for me" will play a dancing animation from GSPoses if it's installed, or a random dance animation from vanilla. "Serve Drinks" will play a drink-holding idle, or if the slave is stupid, will play a holding a pot of soup idle. (seriously, it's pretty funny) "I need a chair" will have the slave bend down on all fours, you can then talk to them and say "best chair ever" to actually sit on them. "Play some music" will have the slave play a song, though there is no sound right now. Maids! You can tell a slave "you are in charge of cleaning the mess in here" and the slave will walk around and play some cleaning animations in the area. If a slave says "I could be a housekeeper" when you ask what kind of person they are, that means they will be good at this task. Conclusion Thank you for reading all that! I hope it makes sense, if not, I'd be happy to answer questions here if I know the answer, and over at the support thread for the mod there's a bunch of helpful people there. Good luck and have fun!
