Hi,

Playing "Taking Control" and having possibly a bug ??? Anyway, I'm stuck :

 

  Hide contents

After the petsuit moment, which was really great, I have to find a document bag. I found a chest with mead, but it wasn't the right one. Then I got the clue to go to the office, and found the note about the trade. Got back to try ALL the other chests and found nothing. Each time, it's the wrong bag.

I am doing something wrong ? Where's the right chest ?

 

The biggest clue is in the office note, that mentions a strongbox

 

Check near the bottom of the tavern ramp for a strongbox

Loving this mod so far, thank you for all your efforts in creating it.

 

I'm having a slight issue, in the Blue Palace, having found Jade and been giving the potion of "do what I say", but now frozen in place for a while. I can hear conversation in the background and access menus and stuff, just can't move my character and nothing seems to be happening after waiting for a while...

Try again and reload - you should be force walking to the carpet within a few seconds. Jade goes there and orders you to come.

 

As this is the first quest in a quest arch that gets more complicated for the script engine, maybe reduce your number of other mods (just guessing here) to reduce script lag. There are some scenes that are prone to fail (this is one of them) and it's even worse on SE.

Reloading still leaves me stuck, however I do have a fair few mods, so I'll have a clean up and try again.

 

Thanks

In taking control quest i am now going to kill laura & katarina, 

 

i entered inside the shop , no one is there, what next?

please help.

Was the guy with you? He's supposed to follow you inside.

So that‘s why nothing happens whenever I enter the shop. I didn‘t know that guy was supposed to follow so I kept searching the room for any clues or triggers. How can I get him to follow me inside? (reloading a save doesn‘t seem to work)

Here's a couple options to try:

 

1. Don't fast travel to the shop. Walk the entire way, pausing often to allow Master to catch up. If he gets stuck, go back to him and alter your path a little. Try to follow roads as best you can.

2. Before entering the shop, open the console and click on Master - this will load his information onto the screen

     Close the console

     Enter the shop

        If Master doesn't follow, open the console, and type placeatme

 

This will put Master next to you in the shop and trigger the rest of the action

I don’t think it was even possible to fast travel while wearing the restraints so I walked from the cave to the shop and Master was right with me before I entered so I guess I‘ll have to do the console thing, thanks

Hi,
I see where you require SL Aroused Redux. Will SL Aroused Extended work as well? I recall I had to install SLAX because SLAR made another mod throw a version error (can't recall what it was)

So, tried again with less mods running, still the same, get drugged up then stood about with nothing happening. Oddly enough my character start flashing between visible and invisible once I entered the room with Jade in, which is weird.

I use OSLAroused on my AE build and everything works, so I'm pretty sure it'll be fine.

[MainMansrevenge]

Not sure if this glitch is caused by DD 5.1 or this mod so I posted at both. I've used both DD and Laura's bondage shop multiple times. But this time for some reason after installing both DD 5.1 and Laura's bondage shop. I can no longer enter Whiterun. as in the game will just sit there on the loading screen until the game freezes. Has anyone encounterd this?

 

I've also included a mod list.

In the Origins quest, after the failed escape attempt (laura_sq09_quest stage 800) I'm stuck on the ground, unable to move while Darius, the Stranger, and Katarina are talking, which is normal. Then I get teleported to the place where Katarina is supposed to kill Darius South of Helgen, like she did on previous playthroughs, but I'm stuck on the ground, alone, in the leg fetters, yoke, and, after a delay, a blindfold effect, though not actually equipping a blindfold. I can't move, look around or do anything, and I can't even console command my way out. I'm just lying there in a ball.

 

In general this quest is a bit of a pain. Is it possible to just skip it or smth, if there's no easy fix? Only thing I did differently to a normal playthrough of this quest was cheat myself a lucky charm as the locked doors were triggering cursed loot during the escape attempt. 

 

It would be nice to be able to skip the quest entirely, tbh. It's essentially one long cutscene, and while it's really impactful the first time through, it isn't too fun to have to replay, and is generally an unpleasant story to endure. Most of what you find out could be summarised in textboxes or something after touching the totem to avoid replays, and avoid the explicit unpleasantness.

I've been enjoying the mod today. I've been holding off asking for any hints until now. In Taking Control quest where is the key for the bedroom safe?

I've looked under the baskets, in the barrels, searched dead guards and the furniture I can open. Laura's dialogue asks if I found anything and everyone else is busy.

Thanks for any help.

 

edit:

nvm, found it, I must be getting tired .

Thanks for sharing this great mod with us. It was nice to not have my hand held all the way through it.

I was tempted many times to ask for a hint and answered my own questions. 

Thanks, hope to see more from you.

He's supposed to follow you the whole time. Maybe he got stuck somewhere because of a fight or something.

Before entering the shop, use the wait function to wait an hour or so. He should port right next to you.

It should work as long as that version doesn't change the script functions my mod uses. If it only adds stuff it'll work fine. Only one way to find out. ?

My mod doesn't do much unless you start a quest so I don't think mine's to blame. Other mods also shouldn't do that. Maybe something went wrong while installing it.

Check if you installed everything correctly. If you double checked everything and it still doesn't work, try it with a new character.

Since it used to work previously, what changed in your game since then?

 

Also, I've been thinking of adding a skip for a while now. But just for the first time since it's essential for the story. Maybe a secret skip in the inn that gets revealed after the quest so you can use it next time. But I'm not sure yet.

Thank you so much. ❤️

Really happy you liked the puzzle and search bits. It was really tricky to make and balance but I'm glad I made it.

I tested it again, and unfortunately, must be reacting to another mod because Whiterun won't load or the game will crash outright. My only other option would be to restart and try that way. Your mod has been a mainstay in my mod collection from the beginning. So unless it is conflicting with something like Babo Dialouge. I have no idea.

On my Skyrim LE build, I have Safety Load 1.2 and Animation Loading Fix 1.1.0. I don't know if it will help with your problem, but it helped to make my game more stable.

Sorry, forgot to say: it worked on the 3.3 patches. This was my first attempt in 3.4x (3.42 specifically). All on LE.

He was right with me before entering the shop but somehow never managed to follow into the shop. The console trick worked and I was able to finish the quest. I guess it‘s probably a problem with my mod list though as I do have some other issues as well sometimes. 
 

I greatly enjoyed the story and quests, making this definitely one of the best mods I played. Thank you for creating this masterpiece

Yes - 275 pages of thread, I'd guess that every quest has had a walkthrough in the meantime.

[cvonb]

I just finished the quest line and wanted to thank you for this mod. Great job with scenes and story. It was really fun.

[Itme_69]

I have a problem where at the end of the quest Locked away

Spoiler

Laura just stands there in front of the cage and wont move, when trying to interact with her it says "this person is busy". I tried going into the cage waiting, skipping time etc.
It is true that I might have sold her the optional gags and armbinders she uses if you ask but I believe that that shouldn't stall the quest.
