Things In The Dark MODIFIED

[BlackBoxFun]

Did anybody port this awesome work to Skyrim SE jet? I read somewhere that it should be possible to do but I myself am 100% ModNoob. Any links/help would be very much appreciated!

[Nymra]

I dont want to be that guy, but will we see any updates for the mod?

I know Delzaron wants to change the whole TID mod, but honestly, I dont have high hopes for this to happen anytime soon or to be superior than the old version. It will be just a totally different thing from what I read from him. 

TID is an awesome mod because it grasps the atmosphere perfectly. With TID modified it would also work perfectly. I would really love to see the modified version finished.

Bug report for this mod:  If you go by the spider statute near the Helgen cave exit to trigger entry into Ibn, you cannot get the slave option with this mod.  You always get the servant start, not the slave part.  (Tested with Skyrim SE, problem was fixed by uninstalling this mod) - haven't tried with Skyrim LE to see if the problem also exists there too.

And where by the love of everything unholy do you find an SE-Version ? PLEASE !!!

So...Things in the Dark has died, again. Dammit! This is my favorite quest mod(the idea of it, anyway. have never managed to get very far into it). Had such high hopes, both for the original being fixed, and a new version by Delz. Well, regardless, the effort is appreciated, if not the execution. Thanks for trying.

There's no SE version. I used the Oldrim version.  It works as far as I can tell..and in a much more stable game in Newrim to boot.

* in slave task mutator, player is fucked by falmer then chaurus reaper, while there's delay in 1st act, it usually happens, in 2nd act, it may never happen. pushing tishal [with sprinting] close to cage and chaurus breeder far from cage seems working
* in slave task butcher, talking to skala then quest tells player to cook meat but quest pointer points to a woman. there should be text for this woman and player can either butcher her or cook meat by taking meat from dead slaves, but this text doesn't appear, causing this quest unable to finish, must use setstage. if choosing sparing this woman and taking meat from dead slaves, cooking the meat doesn't matter how many doesn't update the quest. after finishing, quest tells player to talk to hashep but there's no pointer for hashep

* told to go to chaur tegoth altar, but there's no quest marker, when go to near it, there's some message, trying to enter the altar from overwatch tower, but when opening the door to ibn, teleported to meat slave area near raping skeevers den, entering from temple also results the same, from this point on, doors are fucked [i.e quitting songs of malog bal puts player in front of pure falmer den, quiting passage under falkreath puts player in harbor]

replace the xx with the thing in the dark load order number.

 

example, if you put zThingsInDark. esp below Dragonborn.esm, the number is 05, use console command; player.moveto 053fba02.

after finding the chaurus, you have to use setstage otherwise the dialog to tell follower to fuck chaurus won't appear. use console command; player.sqs atid2farm

that will tell you what stages have been completed, then use setstage for the next uncompleted stage, then talk to your follower, there should be dialog to tell her to fuck the chaurus.

[Krepel]

Hey i am at the slave tasks atm and i am wondering if there is any way to decrease the slave note and become a meat slave or something? Or is that just a linear quest after quest gameplay? Like there is no option to stay a slave with daily quests? Because until now i could only finish the slave tasks to finish the quests, there was no way to really disobey. At the arena i.e. the slaver said, like: "ye you can refuse but than you will not live long" or something like that but if i do everything s fine and daithe just send sme back to the Arena hall.

[FrostWimbelton]

I got an issue where the quest require me to speak with the meat slave but I don't see any dialogue option to progress. Can I get quest stage/ID for the meat slave quest

[kittyhoney]

Waoooooooooo！！！！！！！

 

Excellent work and thank you so much 

[LenaLachrymosa]

Hi

This mod ask me to overwrite files from mod From the Deeps 

 

Thank you with advance for help

Dont do it.

When I made FTD, I made TID in the same time. So, I made msitakes in the tags.

And when I packed the mods, I used the tags to sort them.

 

 

[Mevris]

I would say the original TID mod of Delzaron, is the best SexLab quest mod ever made, in context of story, environment, mood, features. (In my opinion.)
But it has lots of bugs, i hope someday it will be almost bug free.
I'm total lame in moddig, (can't code - #meme)  and don't has any talent, but still want to give some help.

I list some commands that helped me in quests:

 

showquesttargets - Shows quest ID if it's has a target. (If u don't know which quest is on.)

 

player.sqs <quest id> - It's great to see the stages of given quest, all of them.

 

Most of the time i use combination of 2 command to progress on broken quest:
SetObjectiveCompleted <QuestID> <stage> 1 - It will mark completed the stage you are on. (The stage number is last that is marked with 1, when you list with 'sqs'.)
And next if it's needed:
setstage <quest id> <stage value> - (the next one which is marked with 0)

 

And when quest marker bugged, and you just can't find the target use this:
player.movetoqt <QuestID> - This will teleport you to the target.

 

And some npc just stuck somewhere, like Kaithe, and Anzenith.
in console u click on them to see their ID, not the base ID.
and use:
prid <ID> - this will tag them
And you go to some neutral place, or the desired destination and use:
moveto player - (Don't need ID, u tagged them with 'prid' command)
And if it's work they start walking to the right place (or stay still).

And if u need to find them, use this:
player.moveto <ID> - then you go where they are

 

Ofc. the 'additem' command has use in some cases. 
player.additem <ItemID> <#>

 

Some extra observation:
When playing i found out it has some conflict with the "Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul" mod. Because the change some food name, and it's purpose: like salmon(you need the fillet), or human flesh.

 

When you mining, equip the pickaxe and hit ore vein, don't use the activation button.

[Lupine00]

I've been doing some fixes to Things in the Dark, based on the current state of this modified version.

 

This includes a full translation into native "English" This was a massive job. It's a big mod with so much dialog.

Sometimes it might be a bit off, but I played through most things so I'd have an idea what the right words ought to be.

 

I have mainly fixed blocker issues from the start of Ibn slavery onward. I didn't change much, just the absolute minimum to let you progress without a setstage.

I have also fixed the vendors so they can sell items, have the correct factions, and are relatively useful. You can now meet your needs by shopping in Ibn.

Similarly, some beds are fixed.

I also added support for RND on food items, though I may make a version with that stripped out again.

 

I plan to go back and look at the early stages that people have posted bugs for here.

I didn't replay that stuff, as I know it well, but was unable to ever get slavery to work, never mind the Falmer quests after that.

I'm now able to play a majority of Falmer content without terrible problems.

 

The main issue I still have is that for reasons I still do not understand, quest objectives in aliases mostly do not work. It doesn't matter what world you are in, they just do not work.

Anyone with any ideas on this, please let me know  The aliases are filled; that's not the problem.

Update - think I finally figured this one out ... time will tell.

 

 

There is a ton of script rebuilding left to do - I'm not convinced all the pex files really match their sources at the moment, which may be causing surprises - and also re-parenting of NPCs - they have AI parents that cause problems - it should fix quite a few things with AI Overhaul screwing them up, but I am not going to do that until I start a replay from the beginning and start to address those lingering early pre-Ibn-slavery quest bugs.

 

 

Anyway...

Is there any objection to my posting my updates that build on TitD - Modified, as a new patch?

 

I've raised this issue with Delzaron separately.

[zwdragonbone8314]

No objection at all. Please post it.

[Guest]

Damn that is a lot of work to fix a mod :d If it gets released I'd definitely give it a shot. With this much effort one would think you could make your own mod.

[Celedhring]

While I like Delzaron's mods - FTD and TID, they come with the caveat of "be ready to console your way through"  From a storytelling/immersion standpoint, they're terrific as I happen to be a H.P. Lovecraft fan.   I wanted to see the Deep Ones introduced someday, and I think the Falmer could easily be converted into the Deep Ones.  Just web their fingers and toes, add spines down their backs, and give them fish eyes maybe retexture them with scaly fish like skin - done! Best of all you wouldn't have to alter the skeletons/sex animations as they'd just use the Falmer ones.

 

Oh and watch "Dagon" sometime.  It's an outstanding adaption of "The Shadow over Innsmouth" to a coastal town in Spain.  They got it down perfect - the atomsphere, the degeneracy/deterioration of the Cthulhu Mythos on Imboca.  Even the hotel the protagonist stayed in is spot on. (yuck)  Very very underrated movie IMHO.

About two weeks of fixing up the text, on and off.

Nothing compared to making the original I should imagine.

I finally got to watch this. Super retro! Reminds me of the old 1960's "She". Not sure the "mermaid" effects helped much.

 

I haven't seen new The Color Out of Space yet. TitD has its own little version of that  

[Xiblis]

Is there a way to deinstall the mod? :)
I installed it and then stopped bc its kinda buggy, so I wanted to deinstall it but the falmer (outside the mod) are still friendly to me and think of me as a slave
