HELP!!!!!!
i started the quest "locked away" later later i completed 2 more quests [good fit & other one related to thotium]
and when i got back to the shop to get chasity belt removed laura said to wait longer so  i did for 5 more days [with wait system] 
and she still said to wait longer so i checked the MCM menu and
its min: 3 days &max: 7 days
i dont understand is there something i am missing?

i tried droping a save then reinstalling the mod but all that did was removed MCM menu for LBS
what do i do??

 

First, what Taki and CptJoe said.

Next, many mod authors who build in such things keep apart real play time and waiting time. So waiting or sleeping doesn't count towards such timers. I have to admit, I'm not sure whether Laura built in something like that, this is something she could answer way better. But maybe try and really let 7 days pass the "old-fashioned" way by playing.

I can confirm that "waiting" does work, as well as fast travelling.

And yeah, if the maximum is 7, and 5 have past, I don't know what is the problem here. Even less of a problem if they got the unlucky "Laura added more time"

Waiting counts.  You can step outside the shop and wait for a week and it will work.  I sometimes do that to earn starter money on a new play through.

 

I will say I think the calculations might be a bit off.  If the max in the MCM is 7 days I usually wait for 10 to be sure.

Looking into it, it seems to be an inaccuracy resulting from the variable that stores the current game time being cast from Float to Int, therefore losing the decimal places.

 

For context: Days passed since starting the game is stored in the GameDaysPassed global (that is returned by GetCurrentGameTime) is in Float, so a value of 5.5 means 5 days and 12 hours have passed. If this is converted to int, it becomes only 5 days.

 

So even though the player has worn the chastity belt for 5 and a half days, only the 5 completed days are counted on checkup, and tested against a similarly truncated time of when the chastity belt was equipped.

 

Also, the check for days needed vs days passed does not check for equal, only greater than, meaning the player always needs to be locked away for 1 day more than what's required.

I've never played an adult mod with such a strong story, amazing work, I even shed a tear at the end of the story

Finally remembered to check for those mods you recommended. Found them. Going to try them out. Stay tuned!

Well Safety Load seems to have done the trick. I only had one instance of the load screen freezing since then and that was at start up. Now regrettably my games still tends to crash at random. But For now i just save often

[NMidnight]

I'm stuck in Taking Control. I'm at the riverside shack and when i interacted with the chest I got stuck as normal and daubney showed up, but jade was not there with me, now daubney won't take after jade finally decided to show up and can't progress, any ideas on how to fix except for leading an earlier save? (Last safe is before the Glemme section)

I am on the lost merchant. Went to Fort Hraggstad no sign of Sirrina or anything to do with the quest and no questmarker, tried a reload and restartet the quest, still no questmarker. So i gave up. Does anyone know the questid or have a suggestion for a fix?

There bloody is no bloody questmarker. Use your brain - where would you keep a slave?!

Fort Hraggstad was vanilla, there was nothing there which isn't in the base game. Learn to read. I wouldnt keep a slave. The missing questmarker didnt bother me until i had cleared the fort and reloaded, but good to know there isnt a questmarker, might try again.

Previously, you didn't actually say that you'd cleared the fort, just that you went there.  That reads like you arrived, didn't see a quest marker, and did not know what to do next.  While the response you received could have been more polite, rereading your original question still doesn't reveal that you cleared the whole fort (presumably including interior areas).  It's natural to feel frustrated, but that was an important missing piece of information.  When there's a problem with a mod, the more detail the player can provide, the better the answers will be, and the more it helps the mod author if there's a bug.

I went there and saw no sign... How could i do that without clearing the place? But ok. Will try to be clearer next time. Will try it again maybe i get lucky.

Hello, I am a chinese  player, and  I recognize there are too many wrong words in the chinese traslation. It seems like translate by machine. Could I translate it again by myself and send it to you?

[zittonⅡ]

这个模组很好，但是翻译很糟糕，有些地名没有翻译。有些NPC的名字被翻译成3种不同的版本，有些句子不流畅。是的，我很生气，因为翻译是不可共鸣的。中国有句俚语：驴嘴不能配对马嘴，意思是有两样东西不能配对。这个翻译不能表达模组制作者想说的话。如果这个翻译可以检查他的翻译，他会发现他犯了一个多么愚蠢的错误。现在我必须利用我的时间来抵消他的错误。现在，北京时间是5点53分，我被吵到凌晨2点睡觉，然后我用我花了4个小时来发现他的错误。其中一件可怕的事情是我必须在七点钟去上班。所以我希望你能原谅我的粗鲁态度。谢谢。

Now, it is time to have my breakfast

[zittonⅡ]

第一个任务的瑟银矿，能翻译出三种不同的名称，你有没有检查一下你的译文。大量的地名没有翻译，还需要我一个一个去查上古卷轴wiki，你知道我花了多长时间把你的中英文地名匹配吗？你是译者，大家都感谢你的付出，但是请对自己的翻译负责，麻烦自行检查一下。我没有骂人，因为大家都是用爱发电，但是你这么做确实不地道。

[zittonⅡ]

哦对了，还有件事，提醒你一下那个阵营是不用翻译的，老哥。这么翻译会出bug的

Just finished the story and the message from the author was just so... wholesome. Very fitting to the overall story and topic of the mod itself. I kinda figured the storyline was personal (it's so out of line with your usual bondage/sex/violence saturated mods it's almost like a dead giveaway). It was a great experience and I'd like to personally thank you @Laura for this trip.

❤️❤️ ❤️

Although there is one technical thing that IMO could use some tweaking - the Ivarstead part. While the first message was easy to find, I never did locate the second and had to spend an uncomfortable amount of time searching the area. It wasn't entertaining, really. Just daunting.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've finally gotten around to playing this again. It's one of my absolute favorite mods...but the story is painfully long to repeat from scratch with new characters ?. Anyway...found an issue of sorts. I'm not really sure I'd call it a 'bug,' but it's certainly not what you intended to happen. Specifically, when you come back from recovering Dyane for Liza, to find Salone and her guards threatening Laura and Katrina...you didn't disable Shouts or Magic. And, even if you can barely move, you're on a straight line with all of them. I knocked them all over with Unrelenting Force, then hosed them down with dual cast AOE destruction magic. Dead Salone, dead guards, barely wounded Laura and Kat (they got knocked over with the shout and were made hostile, but unhurt). And...stuck game. As in, since nothing could advance, I was just stuck in place with no one doing anything ?. I'd saved right outside, which is the only reason I'd tried it. So it's not like it was a major issue. But just figured I'd mention it...

Thank you.

About the shout, i didn't know that was possible. Do you have a mod that changes that, did the new DD change it or did I just forget to test it?

@Laura love this mod and its always part of my playthrough since it came out. Just want to confirm now that DD5.2 has been released there is no compatibility issues or updates required for LBS? and can LBS be able to access the new DD in 5.2?

[Adsade]

Great mod, but I'm stuck at the Taking Control quest. After interaction with small sack, I got a message and the door shut, but after that, nothing happened and the pointer was still on small sack.

UPD. few reloads helped

LBS is fully compatible with DD5.2, however it does not yet take advantage of any of its new functionalities nor does it implement the new restraint items.

If by "passage" you mean the dream totem, what is the issue with it exactly? If not being able to interact with it is the problem, placing a new one through the console is one quick and dirty workaround that usually solves the issue, however it'd be better to know more about the circumstances of the error you are experiencing. Starting with the game and mod version, and a mod list couldn't hurt either.

I am stuck in the origins quest at the stage where Glemme is told by Sloane that A guest will be coming and you will be his entertainment. After sometime Doran comes inside the prison and he just stands there and there is no further dialogue with any of the characters be it Sloane, Darius, Doran or the guards 

I'm having the same issue on Skyrim AE.

 

version 3.42

Quest: Origin

Stage: 280

 

Doran2 comes inside the cell and  nothing happens. He just stays staring at the player. As a contingency plan, if I use the console to set up stages,and, eventually, complete the quest, where are the original player's items?

 

Thanks!

Your items are in an out of bounds chest in Laura's Bondage Shop. The script that would've returned them to you did not run because you setstaged through the quest. This is exactly the reason why setstaging through a stuck quest as a first restort is ill advised, because who knows how many other flags were not set properly in the process.

 

Dealing with a stuck NPC usually involves enabling/disabling them or calling resetai on them.
