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

Vor 4 Minuten sagte Fyredraken:

Ich mache die Questreihe „Kontrolle übernehmen“ und habe Seite 1 und 3 der Tagebuchseiten gefunden, aber ich stecke jetzt fest, wo ist Seite 2, oder was mache ich als nächstes?

the second page is not really necessary - because on the 3rd page is ultimately what happened back then.

Where do you find the 3rd page... on the river bank? - near a chair?

What was the writer of these pages up to? Did you really read the text or just skimmed it?

Look down the slope...

[Miauzi]

When I entered Laura's shop for the 3rd time... to have my chastity belt removed after 2 weeks... the owner sat on the chair and showed me her shoes

(I used the replacer linked in the thread)

 

 

for me (and my character) this sight triggered the following reaction:

I'm doing the taking control quest line and have found page 1 and 3 of the journal pages but am now stuck where is page 2 or what do I do next?

Yes, that are the first two pages. They are not continuously numbered, and if you need more hints - I've just posted a walkthrough for the finding of the next pages etc. one or two pages back.

Uhmmm, isn't the whole DD universe mainly for female characters? There are so few exceptions, and sooo little femdom...

Nah, do it yourself. I gladly admit that it's an old school riddle to find everything you need, took me about an hour the first time. You really get all the hints you need, and you're actually allowed to be stupid and make the same mistakes over and over... Uhmm... I mean... heard people talking about such things, it's not that I myself... noooo!!!

yeah, mainly for female character, except i dont play as female, i plan to use all this mod has to offer on my followers, not on myself...

 

i figured out the quest bit by bit eventually, the quest log is partially to blame, and now im stuck in the "trapped hunter" quest again, went thru that dwemer ruin and couldnt find the person i am supposed to rescue, so now im running outside around that area, hoping that shes actually not inside the dungeon but outside.

There is a note in the ruin you have to find first.

Yeah i went back again to double-check, realized i totally missed that treasure chest since i was totally focused on the bandits and expected the person im supposed to find to be around.

 

Now im stuck in "familiar face" quest XD left tied up by jade, with my entire body pretty much invisible, and no way out, caught in the cycle of trying to struggle myself free and fail and wait for my strength to come back so i can try again, i dont see anything around me that i can use to free myself.

 

man... how funny/sad this would be if i tell people "my skyrim days are over, i cant continue the game because my character is tied up and left somewhere inside a cave"

Don't expect to struggle your way out. You are bound with ropes (just as a hint, since you are invisible. Bodyslide issues? No ropes for him?) and this is again a riddle. You have to find something(s) to get out. And yes, we all love the Thotium Collar ?

Yeah finally figured out the knife thing. Really not used to this kind of riddle solving in skyrim, the vanilla quests are all very handholding with quest marker and everything. This is rather refreshing.

 

I downloaded "DD for him" afterward too, no more invisible body but i think not everything can be equipped onto male, and i mean not the obvious thing like vaginal plug, but like slave harness doesnt seem to show up either, just a naked body.

 

-------------

 

Is there no way to prevent NPCs from interacting with their environment when they are not supposed to be able to?

 

Like my follower wears armbinder but would still have regular animation when sitting down / lean against wall and etc. Occasionally also equip weapon when their hands clearly shouldnt be able to.

 

I'm using DAR, and have some idle/sitting animations, but it doesnt seem to conflict with DD *too much*. Sometimes the DAR idle animation plays for like a second and then the correct DD animation would kick in. I wonder if thats the cause. Also i could also add DD as condition to the non-device animation, i just dont have the keywords codes and the other DAR mods i can use as reference (for example "live action") only have "DD asset" and "DD integration" in their condition text. The "DD expansion" and "DD contraptions" are missing.

Yes, that is one of the things we™ like about this mod. Not the plain "be a good dog and fetch the questmarker" type of quest, but ones where you need to use your brain (and rarely the hints in the forum, Taking Control has a bit in Ivarstead that barely anyone could do without help)

I dimly remember that there was an issue, but as I never play a male character, I didn't pay much attention. Maybe someone over in the DD5.2 or DD development thread can give a hint, or a link to some beta file.

[bluetortoise]

The ivarstead quest, i actually did it pretty well.

 

Now im stuck again in the next quest, back in the slave trader's cave, trying to find that trade document and keep bringing back the wrong one. The occasional arousal animation on player is actually quite irritating to me, i want that stuff on my followers, but being forced to stop to watch a short animation again and again and again and again while im just in a hurry trying to fetch a bag for someone just to discover its the wrong bag...

 

 

EDIT: Whew... finally done with the story quest of this mod....

What version of DD are you using?  The latest has the male stuff included, you just have to select it when installing.

but it's fine, i was just tired looking at my head floating in the air during those quests, now that i finished, i will never put any of those stuff on myself again, the fun is all lydia's now (and others)

I actually didn't want to use those shoes, but I was trying to limit prerequisites and those were what was available ?  DCL has better shoes, but I won't use that mod or encourage anyone else to do so.

 

[Miauzi]

Vor 1 Stunde sagte aurreth:

 

Ich wollte diese Schuhe eigentlich nicht verwenden, aber ich habe versucht, die Voraussetzungen einzuschränken, und das waren die verfügbaren ? DCL hat bessere Schuhe, aber ich werde diesen Mod nicht verwenden oder andere dazu ermutigen.

 

So for me these shoes fit absolutely perfectly - even better than the ballet boots for the catsuit

I had already written earlier - that I could walk on such shoes in real life (unfortunately no longer possible due to a herniated disc)

In these shoes like Laura wears in the "replacer" - it's even more difficult ... but it fits my story all the better

that's why I have for the 5th chapter - in which I visit the store with my new companion for the first time (at her request) ... a special reaction to it

come up with

?

 

The last piece of the mosaic for this scene only occurred to me about 30 minutes ago ... when I was lying in bed and wanted to fall asleep

?

 

 

[bluetortoise]

I started a radiant fetch quest, and after having it removed from me, i accidentally put it back on, and it became pretty much impossible to remove.

 

it's a "tough" straitjacket. I cannot reach it with my key, i cannot struggle out of it, i cannot cut it.

 

downloaded DD helper and both follower and blacksmith refuse to remove it because according to them the straitjacket is "enchanted".

See if you can't take it off using the "Laura's Secret Dummy Key" which is set as they key to open most custom restraint items for the mod. Give yourself the key through the additem command, take the straitjacket off, then make sure to dispose of the key through console commands again if needed.

 

Also, if you have managed to equip this item with no legit way out, preventing it from being equipped outside of scripted interactions should be something to be addressed.

Yes, anything that's not standard restraints key (or chastity) is treated as "enchanted" so not to break quests.

DD Escape Overhaul has an MCM option to remove quest items, but you should use that with caution.

 

Normally the items from Seeking the Curse should vanish from your inventory as soon as Laura or Katha removed them - if not, there seems to be something wrong in your game. @Taki17 already told the easiest way out.

[bluetortoise]

I actually already spawned that key earlier when i was desperately trying to use console to get rid of the jacket

 

and i cant unlock it with that key because i simply cannot reach it with my hands.

 

Should i just uninstall the mod if nothing works???

if you have the key but just cannot reach to actually use it an option is to adjust difficulty settings in DD MCM which should make it much easier to reach/use the key.

 

CaptianJ03 mentioned one mod that can remove it, and if you happen to have DCL installed it does have a Free Me option that can do it also, use of that type of option should remove the straightjacket without needing to roll back to a previous save/new game.  removing mods mid game is NOT recommended as it will surely break something (may not be apparent right offhand). 

 

[cypher13]

I'm having a terrible time with SQ09 the Origin quest. Tried several times to do it normally and I can't complete it. Mainly due to NPCs having pathing issues and not going where they're meant to, preventing the next stage starting. Doran doing nothing, guards escorts getting stuck on stairs. Not an uncommon problem for story driven mods that have NPCs do complex things.

 

Obviously I've been able to console command the quest to completion but the Shop is empty, no Laura or Kat. I've no idea if that's meant to be the case and I'm supposed to go somewhere else or I need to do more console commanding to get the NPCs back in play.

 

I've given up SQ09 and I'd just like to continue to the next quest, can someone please give me some advice or the right console commands to input to get things back on track.

 

 

 

Must say it's a fantastic mod though.

Already set the difficulty to lowest, doesnt help at all. Gonna try install dd cursed loot now.

 

EDIT: Finally got rid of it thru cursed loot MCM. Thanks for the help!

Only now remembered this, and it really should be sticky on some DD page:

 

When you cannot get rid of a Device, put everything you can in any container you own.

open the console, type "player.inv" and get a list of all (quest) things you are still wearing.

One of them should be the Device you can't get rid - and another with nearly the same ID, plus or minus 1 is the correnspondig lock.

 

type "player.removeitem ID-of-the-lock 1" (you need to tell the game how many of those items it shall remove, one in this case)

and type again "player.removeitem ID-of-the-device 1"

 

You should be free after that. Grab your stuff and run.
