replayed part of Taking Control quest again today.  it was fun to do (because of what i was trying).

 

 

 

replayed from the point where you are told to either kill Sloane or talk to Laura.

the default choices of either kill Sloane or talk to Laura (where you end up just walking away basically and not doing anything more to Sloane) despite Katarina wanting her dead just seemed to me that something more should be done to Sloane (so there would be some chance of her having to learn what it means for others to control her possibly) made me really want to at least put a collar (or more) on her.   so i went back and tried.

 

attempt 1 - figured out there was a very short time period where you could possibly do something to her but not kill her.

attempt 2 - bad timing and a bit slow to engage dialogue with her meant i warped out before i could try.

attempt 3 - timing was good and managed the dialogue fast enough (its a DCL dialogue) and Sloane's response was that she liked restraints .. on others, event started and warped out but event finished in the shop after warping, and yes i wound up wearing a full set of white ebonite restraints. (lol...perfectly fitting response from her i thought)

attempt 4 - this one was a "cat"-tastrpohe ..roommates cat walked on keyboard and flopped into my lap knocking controller out of hand demanding pettings.

attempt 5 - bad timing again combined with not moving fast enough resulted in failed attempt. (yes i walked part way to Sloane in basement instead of running whole way)

attempt 6 - good timing and reverse pickpocketing i did manage to put a collar on Sloane (and even saw it on her) before the warp out finished,

 

decided that this was the save i was going to keep and continue with Skyrim adventures with.

best part is i did this legit, no console commands just normal playing.

 

Sloane is "busy" from time you can try to talk to her until after talking to Laura, and deciding not to kill her, and until Laura and Katarina are talking by the exit door.  when Laura starts talking to you at that point (to thank you for coming and helping her) Sloane is not busy anymore.  so if you are fast enough you can run back to Sloane and reverse pickpocket a collar on her before the warp out happens, but you must run (not walk) back to her in basement and be fast enough and good enough to reverse pickpocket a collar (or other restraint) onto her.  i don't know if you could get more than a single restraint on her in the available time, as all i had was a single collar to try with, and that was all i was really trying to put on her anyway.

 

having done this makes me wonder if i could move fast enough to do the Display Model route to make her follow me and then turn her into an outside "decoration" for Laura's shop.  

while i know i can do this with console commands (to get her to me after the warp out) it just has me wondering if i could do it fully legit, but it would take a little bit of preparation to even attempt and i doubt i will try anytime soon.  
 

 

 

i know this is Laura's story (not yours) so the best thing to do is what she would prefer.

 

anyhow really do love this great mod.

 

edit - just wondering if we will see Jade again later and possibly have become a possible companion (vanilla style) as i think it could be fun to have her become your "Mistress" through Submissive Lola.  that could be fun, or if not her possibly 27 (who rocks).

Laura,

I appreciate you so much for telling this story.  I knew the story was leading to a focus on consent, but I did not expect the latest chapter (no spoilers).  It means so much, as a kinkster, as a service dom, as a cis male learning about trauma and how kink can help. 
I've been in the community 3+ years now and do regular sessions with 2 subs that have had past trauma, but this shows a new story in a different perspective, and it hit me pretty hard.  

Thank you so much again ❤️

 

-Sunny

So odd. I was about to work a bit earlier that after changing to DD 5.1 and putting back the Evelynn set it didnt work when it eventually did somehow but i coudnt figure out why so i deleted the post out of irelevancy but well...I went to grab the bag which i tought was the one wanted to give it to him again and welp same story no option this time again.

After changing to DD5.1, did you load a save from before you started the quest?

I have ideas for returning characters and maybe a follower.   Nothing concrete yet though. It's just a bunch of seperate ideas I still have to weave into something questlike.

A new SE version is now available.

 

The letter at the end is now readable and the purple/grey face bug should be fixed.

If you had one of these issues, you can download v3.41 for SE again and overwrite it.

 

Thanks again to @aurreth and to @HexBolt8 for helping with the bugged letter.

Sorry, was on my phone and doing something useful like posting the actual link was a bit beyond me at the time ?

No Jade, #SonaIsCatwoman ?

 

I actually did "follower-ize" 27 as an experiment, but without Laura's writing behind her she just ends up another boring, generic follower.  I used My Home is Your Home to stick her in a HearthFires house, made her steward, and basically forgot about her.

Try checking all your requirements. Make sure you installed the right ones.

Then go back to the save before you started the quest and try again. If it still doesn't work, post the papyrus log.

Hi ! I already verify any of the requirement and they seem all good.

It doesn't mention my mod which is a good thing, but there are 213 errors in a 3 min session. That's a lot. That could mean your game is in bad shape and that can really mess with quests and stuff.

Is the save/character you're using old or have you installed and uninstalled a lot of mods while you were using it?

Thats a good question. I think the mod i just remove was the milkmod serie and being a cow. Then of course i remove DD 5.2 10 and i think that's it. The only reason i remove the first two is that i kept getting a bug and since i wasnt playing the mod yet i removed it.

Could be Fuz Ro Dah.  I remember having to use an older version, 1.6 or 1.7, to get it to work right.  You might try downgrading and see if that helps.

 

would you happen to have an old ver of Fuz Ro Dah in the bottom of your toybox that u could post here? Thx

If you scroll to the bottom of the Fuz mod's page and click the change log, it lists which version of Fuz you need for which version of Skyrim. For 1.5.97 you need 1.7, which can be found in the old files section of the files tab.

Been like a year but I seem to remember 1.6 works better than 1.7, at least as far as LBS is concerned.

And did you clean your save with ReSaver after removing the mods?  There's a lot of stuff that gets baked into the save files, so just removing the mod isn't always enough.

Wanted:  Translators

 

Anyone want to take a stab at translating 3.41 for French, German and Spanish?  Currently those are stuck with 3.32, which I know we are all verrry tired of fixing bugs for ?

 

Translating just the LE version is fine, I can do the conversion to SE.

That is the sad thing about generic followers.  They have different appearance and combat skills, but otherwise they're the same, just following you around like a puppy.  In my own games, when I use a follower, I'll write a profile for that character, with goals, likes, and dislikes.  I have to play it out in my head, but it helps the follower to feel a bit distinctive and it can influence my decisions on which quests to take or avoid and how to complete them.  As some of the discussion above mentioned, it can be better to let others influence your choices ("What would Laura want?") because they're important to you.

A follower with Laura's writing, yes pleaassseee. The problem I found with writing interesting followers is that they're basically just an NPC, who... follows you around (since, to make them interesting, it needs dialogues, scenes and probably quests) and then I don't know what the point is anymore.

I do speak french if i can be of any help

[darksong]

Hmm, I continued on after "Strange Rock" - just completed "Blending In" and I still cannot do any "Seeking the Curse" - once again, goes through all the expected dialog but the quest never fires off. you can ask for it again and a again - I've tried 4 times in a row, gotten different versions  and still won't fire off.   Ver 3.41 for SE (pre AE) upgraded from 3.2.1. Removed it and the voice pack for that version using MO2 and installed 3.41

Try cleaning your save to remove any vestiges of the voice pack, see if that helps.

Well I'm not translating anything.  I speak English, American, and the bits of German and Korean that are part of Army slang in the U.S.  ?  Pretty sure I can order beer in a couple of others.

 

I mean I could translate into Army, would be hilarious to see Laura say, "Get your happy ass in the cage REMF."  Or Katarina calling for a "shake and bake" on Sloane's house.  ?

thank you so much

[Kludar]

I finished the main story last night. Loved it! Had to dig through this topic a couple of times to get a hint, but that's because I got impatient to find out what was going to happen next. I consider this mod to be one of the best projects I've supported on Patreon!

 

Spoiler

I sat stunned for quite a bit after reading the letter at the end. I can certainly understand why you might need to step away from creating this mod from time to time. Best wishes for your continued healing.

Have not taken it for a full spin yet, but changed out Fuz Ro Dah, walked in, and they seem to be talking now. voilà...that was it. Thank You
