Devious Devices - Laura's Bondage Shop (16-aug-2025) v3.55 LE & SE

[DevilGod05]

Hey, I'm having an issue with devices not equipping when it's suppose to. I tested other mods that force equip DD on the player and they all seem to work fine, so I'm not sure what's going on.

And what exactly about them conflicts? If two mods affect the same area somehow, but one places a custom NPC while the other adjusts a light that was there in vanilla, the cell record is still going to show up as conflicting (if some of the base records for the cell, like its weather are different), and in that case the one lower in the load order is going the win the conflict. More often than not, it's usually a case of the mod (not) forwarding fixes from USLEEP or being compatible with interior lighting mods.

 

By minor conflicts, they are mostly with update.esm/RLO/USSEP and deal with fog clip distance and the position of a tree branch.  The Nightgate Inn conflict is a mod drops the name "Cellar" for the location name.  They seem to be fairly trivial conflicts to me.  The scene still stalls even when this mod wins all conflicts.  MO2 is fairly good at seeing install order conflicts except for scripts packed into BSAs (which I had to troubleshoot recently with Moonlight Tales).

 

The scene in question takes place in a cell that is unique to this mod with actors that are unique to this mod which is why I find it hard to imagine it would be a mod conflict per se. 

 

I am also running Bug Fixes SSE, SSE Engine Fixes, and Animation Crash Limit Fix.  With LE I usually run an ENB because of the stability it provides to the game, but with SSE the ENBs just seem to cause frame loss without a stability increase.  I am using UUNP with physics, because CBBE with physics just trashes frame rate even in cells where the actor is alone. (And I will fully admit that the CBBE with physics issue could just be a configuration issue).

Hello, the mod is fantastic and I am having a lot fun, however, I am stuck in the quest "a familiar face", I don't know how to get out of the cell, can somebody help me ? What am I supposed to do ? I don't understand. thank you in advance for your help. 

[circuit]

So, I started the "On the Clock" quest, used a spell to teleport directly to the place it needed to be delivered too... and got yelled at for being late?
I think there might be a bug of some sort with its time setting/checking.

Check that your DD version is 5.1. If you update from 4.2 then you may need to start a new game.

That is a riddle, and an easy one too. Look at the things you find and are able to interact with, and use your brain (That's the pink, squishy thingy inside your head)

Did you check the timescale of your teleport spell? I don't know how magic works, but if you're sent to Oblivion and kept in hiatus until one of them demons have time to place you...

The timescale is tight for a runner, I'm using a timescale fix for fast travel so that works for me, too. But maybe there's an internal, hidden check against cheaters, and if you're too early. you're too late. ?

I Had already tried that a few times, tried kill/resurrect, tried placing a copy of the actor; nothing.

If disable and enable doesn't work, I don't know what will. It should work.

Does this bug happen everytime?

So I'm also having the issue with the guard getting stuck in the origin quest in SE.

 

I finally managed to trigger the forcegreet but I'm not entirely sure how. I paused ABMM and Devious Followers, and disabled attacks in Deviously Helpless and most of the script-heavy events in DCL (particularly those that use forcegreets) then saved/reloaded before interacting with the object by the waterfall. After sleeping I also disabled the cell door to stand right next to the guard, then re-enabled the door when the forcegreet started. Hopefully this might help someone else trigger the forcegreet and progress the quest. I might have also just not done anything for a good 30-60 seconds after sleeping, I can't remember.

 

I kept the save but unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this yet so maybe I just got lucky, but if anyone experiencing this issue has any of the same mods or wants to try this out maybe we can figure out what the conflict is.

It's such a weird problem. I tested it myself and wasn't able to reproduce the issue. So the SSE port isn't inherently flawed. I'm so annoyed that we haven't figured this one out.

The timer's are set to be a guarenteed fail when you fast travel. Fast travel takes more ingame time than walking there.

So I think that spell you're using works a bit like fast travel.

Hmmm, good to know, and a little mean.  XD

Will the newest version work with devious devices 4.3 or is 5.1 a hard requirement?  I have older files that need 4.3 to run so I can't update.

The changelog for v3.30 sais: "LBS now requires the latest version of Devious Devices and Contraptions!"

But DD5 is backwards compatible, so the most things should still run, even with older mods. If you look at those mods' requirements, they usually say DD4 or newer, so you should be okay.

@Laura Checking here: I've built a Beast Race Re-Fit patch for this mod.  Would you have any objections to me posting to the DD development thread for inclusion?

That's okay. Thanks for asking.

Really nice update (as always ^^). I liked the new quests very much.  Big thx!

But i have a short question. Am i the only one where the Black Ebonite Catsuit you buy from Laura is bugged?
Everytime i equip the black ebonite catsuit it only plays the belted animation (for sex and masturbation). When i unequip it, it plays the other animations fine again.
All other catsuits seem to work fine (other colors from Laura and all colors from the Dollmaker). Its only the Black Ebonite Catsuit you buy from Laura :/.

DD, DCL and LBS are all up-to-date. I made a new save after the update.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Edit: Maybe it gets somehow classified as Chastity-Belt? (if its not just my Game ?)

Edit 2: Ok, it might be a problem with my DD. ? Ive tried other catsuits (from DD) again and now there is the same problem.

It's likely an item directly from DD, but it's not a bug. Several catsuits in DD don't have holes in them. Right now in dev thread Kimy was pondering if she should add an optional unlockable zipper in the item's UI, similarly to how you remove plug from some gags.

Ah ok, well...that makes sense. I didnt think of that ?.

Thx for pointing out ?

I really want to catch Jade and punish her.

That's a known issue with SSE, but we still haven't figured out why it happens. I tested it myself but couldn't replicate it.

Are you using SSE?

Does this also happen with a new game?

Are you using heavy mods (like DCL)?

[Dexon127]

First of all I must say this mod is my favourite from this site, I love the story and all the situations that have arisen as during the quests. I haven't had any bugs thus far which is really impressive, and I finished the most recent update and loved Jade returning.

 

I have a suggestion for another repeatable quest, I am unsure how hard it would be to make as I haven't any experience in modding so what I am thinking about may not even be possible.

I would love there to be a repeatable quest where you would go try track someone down, perhaps Jade or some random criminal, and they bind you up in random bondage set or perhaps furniture that you have to find a way to escape as they get away. May be a timed escape, if you manage to escape and return to them before they get to far away you capture them and send them to that hold's jail, if you don't manage to get out in time and they escape Katarina or another NPC arrives to help you, possibly taunting you a bit before actually letting you go.

 

Anyhow, love the mod and keep up the good work, can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

I literaly disabeled  everything that wasnt esential for the mod and started a new save, console comand my way to the quest and the problem stil there, im pretty sure its a problem of the mod, at one point i rested and hour an the guard moved like 5 meters and stoped again i dont know what cause it and i wasnt hable to replicate it again.

I just tested it without DCL, That is not the issue, Im going through all of my lovers lab mods and trying to find the culprit

That could be fun. But it's in essence really similar to STC. You also go somewhere, get bound and return. Maybe I could integrate it into STC. Instead of chasing down cursed restraints, you're going after someone who keeps binding people. But it could be really fun as a seperate quest.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I honestly still don't know what the hell is going on. I tested it myself and it worked fine. Others also said it worked for them. I gave those with the issue different versions to test with several changes to the scene, but nothing worked. There was someone who had the same issue and he fixed it by disabling a mod (Vanilla Script (micro)Optimizations). But others with the issue don't have that mod.

So I don't think the SSE version inherently flawed. It works for some. Something breaks it. I just don't know what.

[IBAGadget]

So, I've run into a strange bug related to LBS, specifically one of the NPC's introduced by the game.

 

Maoron (I pronounce his name Moron, as that's what he's become)

 

I also run Spank That Ass, and have the Furniture Spank Chance set at 60%.

 

First time I used Ariadne's workbench in Whiterun, Moron came running up, but didn't spank me, although the guards did.

 

Sadly, Moron won't leave. He now behaves like a follower and has glued himself to my hip. He doesn't have follower dialogue, so I can't dismiss him. He is set as Essential, so I can't kill him (I mean, I could, with console commands, but I'd rather not risk breaking LBS). I've tried to reset his AI, but that has no effect. The only way I can keep him from following me everywhere (even through fast travel) is to turn his AI off. He then reverts to being back in Whiterun stuck in a 'A' pose. Toggle his AI back on, and he glues himself to my hip again. Sadly, this bug has also broken my STA MCM. The listing is there, but no settings menu comes up, so I can't even turn the mod off. Strangely enough, when I went to disable STA in Vortex, it didn't show up in my mod list. 

 

So I re-installed it from my downloaded file. Vortex told me it was already installed, so I selected to re-install and update the profile. Now, it shows in my mod list as 'trial run alpha' when it used to show as 'Spank That Ass', and the MCM still doesn't work.

 

Has anyone else that runs STA run into this bug?
