Question on the otherhand though.  Storywise, is the 'alternate experience' the furthest in the storyline?  Right now I can't complete the quest by going back to the shop.

Uhmm, which translation do you use? I don't recall any quest that comes even close to that name.

The last two quests are "Origins" and "Taking Control"

Yes, Origins.  I was trying to generally be vague.  Sorry about being too vague.

Vor 1 Minute sagte Caladian:

Ja, Origins. Ich habe versucht, allgemein vage zu bleiben. Tut mir leid, dass ich zu vage bin.

 

well - the problems with this and various suggestions for solving them can be found in several places in the thread.

Is there any new work being made on this?

Yup. (Very) slowly but surely. IRL is in the way.

Hey there!

 

I just completed my first full playthrough of the mod and I am very pleased.  That was a wonderful conclusion to the story.  

 

Thank you

I have some questions going forwards.  Will there be any integration of bondage furniture to the mod?  If so, could the player help seek out and acquire the furniture?  I think it would be neat if the shop sent you out to grab furniture.  Feel free to use or discard my idea as you see fit.  

 

Cheers,

Yeah, I do want to use the furniture, but I'm not sure how yet.

Hi there! First of thanks for the fun mod! Laura certainly reminds me of a certain sub and makes me chuckle.

Ive got a lil problem though and after a long journey- ended up here in search for help.

 

Auto equipping doesnt work.

Apparently im not the only one (yes i used search on this topic)- but it never got answered.

 

Its just the equip. Like i can start the quest for Tothium, get the rock, talk to the priestess to loosen my restrains but- there never been any.

I can manually equip things, having those also lets Laura tell me she wont lock me up for free- but once im naked (also checked that by console, no naked suits or the like) she only pretends to lock me up. No equip (and no effect of those neither).

Its not just not equipped- it also doesnt end up in my inventory.

 

So here i am again.

First off: Bodyslide is build. Fnis done. And: A lot of other mods including such that use the same devices do work (e.g. Public Whore, collar, yoke, you name it its put on you!).

Manually equipping things from Lauras Shop also works fine. Including the attached effects.

Actually most mods do work (MME, BAC, EC+ (...)). Its just this here and SD+/SL Prasites that dont do a thing.

The same behavior, obviously other parts of an action do work but the equipping doesnt.

So after working on the loading order and disabling just about everything i could my question would be:

What do you two do different in the matter of auto-equipping things please? And how may it break?

Make sure you are using DD5 and double make sure you are not using DD4 or have any multiple versions of DD or outdated patches overriding each other.

DD5 uses a different function to equip restraints through scripts. When a scripted event equips a restraint, like a scene in LBS, it's done through a function called LockDevice. In DD4, the function that provides the same functionality is called EquipDevice. Any mods that were built before DD5 are supposed to be backwards compatible, due to how in DD5 EquipDevice is pretty much just a LockDevice call wrapped inside the legacy function.

 

Items equipped through the inventory are not passed through either of these functions.

 

However, latest LBS was built to work on DD5 exclusively, so if you are still on DD4, the function the mod is trying to call does not exist and the equip will fail. If you enable logging, you might see that the function the mod is trying to call is none.

Im using Devious Devices LE 5.2 -fresh install. Not fresh as in after Lauras, just i just recently came back and used the most up to date version then. For everything else as well.

Enable logging for Skyrim and DD and post a log from the time of the incident. That should provide more information.

[Sheliya]

Thank you, your explanation did provide the answer!

It made me question if i really had the right version.

And after hours of restarting Skyrim with different configurations i had a brain fart and read Devious Devices 5.2.7z as DD 5.2.7. So i downloaded it again *facepalm*

And uninstalled while downloading, so i had to reinstall it. I usually dont touch anything from the "core" mods to avoid trouble. It seems that DD integration had overwritten something though and with that background knowledge now- i let DD re-overwrite it again and- now it works!

Just FYI, this is a very fucking not great practice. The standalone DD Integration download is not only woefully outdated, but is completely superflous, since all 4 modules of DD are combined into a single download and install since DD5. I'd recommend not overwriting, but uninstalling older versions.

[Sheliya]

Just FYI, certain mods wont work without integration, or not properly.

SD+ even explicitely asks for DD 5.1+ and integration.

Nor does it say anywhere that this is outdated nor integrated. Which again is questionable given that mods wont work with 5.2 alone, or at least certain features of it. Many mods or "addons" have their own version numbers and that behavior certainly points at such.

The wording on the SD+ mod page is confusing (you might mention that to the author, since it confused you and caused trouble for you).  However, the bottom line is that there is no circumstance is which it's correct to install DD 5 and the older standalone DD Integration.  DD 5's all-in-one installation is all you need.

Just to be clear, because there is always confusion: DD5 (regardless which version) comes with four esp's, namely assets, integration, expansion, and contraptions.

You need them all. But unlike Pokemon, you don't need to run around, catching them in different places, they come with one download.

 

You need them all !!!

 

(and uninstall your old stuff, that's prone to mucking things up)

Okay so I finally got through iverstead and after the event next to the river I am supposed to escape I do the pet walker but no one will talk to me after accept the blacksmith fella just asking if I want to swap. Holden wont talk to me (target is busy) 27 wont talk to me you know who in the cage wont talk to me all target is busy, I did the lines of dialog after the pet walker, and all the chests and stuff wont work while karo is around. What am I doing wrong? or did it just break for me?

 

Edit the stage didn't update karo was sitting in a chair so had to set the stage to 306

Hi there,

 

I have more of a general question regarding the visibility of DD devices. Maybe I should post this at DD's page but since I stumbled

upon this in the Bondage Shop, I thought I try it here

 

Is it possible somehow to make some underneath devices like chastity belts visible for certain types of armor? For example, I have a light armor

with visible belly, but the chastity belt goes invisible when I equip the armor (see screenshots ^^)

 

I know that it should be technically invisible as underneath object, but is it somehow possible to make underneath devices visible for a specific

piece of armor?

 

It's not a big deal, but would be more immersive to see the belt with the armor in the screenshot

 

Greetings and thanks for any info.

The scene seems to be stuck somewhere, preventing the following events from happening. Most likely AI package related.

Turn off the device hider for the slot of the specific restraint item in the DD config menu. No matter how revealing the model of an armor or clothing might be, DD will consider it as covering up the body and will hide any restraints underneath it.

There is many undies including bikini Armor that Have Same slot With Devious. Since it replace All ingame  Outfit, i recomended backup your folder first. The file is quite big around 5-7 gb in total.

Ok, I'm stuck on Take Control, the par wherer Master sends you to Kill Laura and Katarina. I go into Laura's shop, where there are a couple of bodies, then Laura appears, has a quick convo about Katarina being taken, then nothing after that, just the normal dialogues. Master never comes in and I cannot leave. If  attack Laura, she legs it leaving me locked inside.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Cheers

I think thats when you want to stop yourself from following his orders, and there's something that the shop recently acquired (that YOU acquired for the shop actually) that can help you stop yourself from hurting anyone.

What's missing is Master. He is supposed to come in to the shop with you.
