That looks like something else is doing it. Maybe your DD install is borked and you can drop inventory items properly?

Disappear completely or do they re-appear in your inventory? That might be the "bondage lover" menu in DCL 8.5's MCM - which is reported to have vanished from DCL 9 beta. Do the things you buy (or find) elsewhere disappear also?

Never had any issues of that kind with Laura's gear, seems your game is borked. Check your logfiles for hints.

I want more [Locked away] content. Chastity is always fun!

no it doesnt let me drop them. if i spawn items with additem menu for mods they work and can be stored, just some i buy. the ones that wont store also wont show up on npcs exept followers and they will show up on my character. odd.

The ones you buy from her are regular DD items. So this is weird.

 

Is it with all items you buy from her?

Does the same thing happen with the same restraint if you additem it?

Does this also happen in a new game?

Also, please share the papyrus log from when you buy something and then store it.

I'd actually like to be able to wear the collar and restraints that you use while on deliveries as an optional extra on top of the belt.

 

Basically, it happens after the thotium stone quest and the collar quest. After this, you ask Laura at any time if it possible to be locked away in those restraints again. If you're already wearing the belt, she could offer this in exchange to earn a little extra gold on top of what you'd be earning by just simply wearing the belt. (Of course the option to not get paid is still a choice in the end, after all, it's more fun that way! XD!)

 

You make more gold that way, it's more advertising for the shop, and you get to wear a matching set of restraints round the clock. It's win-win for everyone!

 

 The only problem is that it would interfere with the main questline from Laura. (But if you're not doing it, it's fine.)

I'd love to add that option some day, but it's hard to do.

Locking the player will block access to my others quests and can also cause compatibilty issues with other mods.

Locking the quests and giving the player more gold could be a solution, but rewarding the player for not being able to play the mod is kinda weird.

 

Right now, I could make the delivery quest work with it, but that would be the only quest. I'm thinking of expanding it after the story is completed. Something like a roleplay thingy where you're the sub and can do repeatable quests for rewards and kinky stuff. Like where she takes them off so you can do Seeking The Curse, but with a timer where you're rewarded when you're on time and maybe punished somehow when you're late. Kinda like CDS, but in my style. Story has priority right now, but I think it could be fun.

 

 

@TeaAndBiscuits What did you have in mind?

I know it's not your taste, but since @Veladarius is ill and it's unlikely for Captured Dreams to come back, I would really like to ask you for a belt that stays locked until marriage, whereupon your spouse will receive the key, only unlocking you to have sex with you, lovingly teasing you. No plugs, no torture, just a loving spouse who wants you all to herself.

 

Or add a conversation option if your spouse sees you wearing a chastity belt you will go to Laura together and she will keep both of you locked (and have your spouse say something about the belt from time to time).

Spousal chastity isn't my thing, but I'll see if I can expand Locked Away in the future.

Hi, just wanted to say I absolutely loved the Blending In quest ^^  One of the better quests I'd played in a while.
I lowkey wish there was an option to actually let Katarina sell you to Holden, but I guess it wouldn't tie in into the story well? ?

Yeah, it doesn't work with the story, but I also don't want this to be a slavery mod. There are more than enough of those and I will never do that abusive shit to the player.

 

I also don't think Blending In would work without the story and challenges. Making them actually hold you there would quickly get boring. There's no way I'll be able to come up with enough content to keep it interesting if it was longer.

 

But I do want to revisit the cave again.

Yeah, I meant it like a consensual option where you could talk to Katarina while she refuses to sell the player to Holden and convince her to let you stay if you liked it there, and then perhaps tie it in with the perfect girl search, since one of the slavers was supposed to know something, right? So Laura and Katarina could conduct the search from the outside, while you could dig up information from the inside Of course, since searching for the perfect girl only comes into play during like the second or third rescue quest, this would probably need filler content in the slavers' cave, and then Katarina would come under the guise of the "job" she was offered, and ask you to try asking around before she leaves again. I get that this sounds like a whole lot of work, but I'm rather fond of branching stories ^^

I like them too, but it's so much more work. It already takes months to make an update and I don't think anyone wants it to take a year and a half.

It's something I do want to look into after the story is complete, but don't expect anything major.

Absolutely! I appreciate the mod no matter what  Those are just my loose ideas. I'd help if I knew how!

Something seems to be seriously fucked in your game. Sort out all of your mods that affect npc behavior and routines in any way.

[magnet7]

I think for the locked away content some more story missions (maybe similar to blending in could be fun) upon locating the perfect girl their owner refuses to hand them over, to solve the issue you get fake sold so you can find her and break you both out, once your brought in you have to solve puzzles and go through restraints to find the perfect girl then get you both out and back to Laura

Thank you so much. I think I spend about 80% of the time on writing and coming up with story stuff. And every quest goes through atleast 5 versions before I get it how I want it.

It's a lot of work, but I love doing it.

 

The story has priority right now, but I have a big list of stuff I want to add post-story.

I'm not surprised at all, but it is worth it, or I think so. ?

 

I understand, I'm excited for the next episode! ?

I avoid locking the player in unescapable stuff outside of quests on purpose. It can cause issues with other mods and I'd have to account for it in every quest. That can make it horribly complex.

I don't care about compatibility with other mods, since lately I just play yours or CD on their own (as their narrative works for me in a deeper way, that the other mods I've found so far don't), but I respect your philosophy to minimally interfere.

You should care, because that's why mods get abandoned - incompatibility. I really appreciate how the mod authors on LL work together and (mostly) care for each others mods.

To give an example: Laura never excluded me from doing delivery quests even though I was wearing a blocking collar. She just equipped the rest of the set an sent me on my errand. The Dollmaker on the other hand never bothered to give me any quest apart from wearing the advertisment catsuit, because of the same collar. HexBolt8 now made Lola's collar non-blocking, so for the first time in a long time I was able to do the delivery quest with the beautiful collar from Laura's shop.

 

So a big Thank You to @Laura 'Lokomootje' for the effort she puts into making this mod so very playable! ?

Perhapsyou could make a outsourcing of the more kinki/slavery stuff to someone to one who wants to add ontop to your stuff like in submissive lola the resubmission 2.0.

 

I like the extended stuff very much there and it doesnt interfere with ubmissive lola the resubmission 2.0 so far?

 

But sure i understand it if not

Laura will have her own say to that, but as the theme pops up regularly: "No."

 

Laura the shop owner is an ex-slave who doesn't want to enslave or dominate the player in any way - I was scolded for just kneeling in front of her. (not ingame but here in the thread)

 

I can imagine, that if you write a quest that stays in the playful, caring mindset of this mod, you could ask Laura Lokomootje if she would like to include that, but for heavier stuff, even as an addon, the big NO! has already been said.

[Baltasarr80]

yeah i understand where you are coming from.
