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

[fluxxygod]

Can someone tell me what to do on the mission taking control, when you're searching for Hinde in ivarstead? I've spoke with the man in the inn, the inn keeper, the guards, and find page 1 and page 3 of the journal. I have no idea how to progress this mission.

[killer14798]

Could somebody give me a hand with something? I'm on the Origin quest, at the point where Doran has walked into the cell after Sloan has left, however every time I get to this point, he freezes and nothing happens. I saw it was apparently an issue in a previous changelog, so I'm just curious if there is anything I can do to sort it out like move him with a console command?

Vor 21 Minuten sagte killer14798:

Könnte mir jemand bei etwas helfen? Ich bin auf der Origin-Quest, an dem Punkt, an dem Doran die Zelle betreten hat, nachdem Sloan gegangen ist, aber jedes Mal, wenn ich an diesen Punkt komme, erstarrt er und nichts passiert. Ich habe gesehen, dass es offenbar ein Problem in einem früheren Änderungsprotokoll war, also bin ich nur neugierig, ob ich irgendetwas tun kann, um das Problem zu lösen, wie ihn beispielsweise mit einem Konsolenbefehl zu verschieben?

 

no console commands - this will definitely break the game

 

if anything, only an earlier save will help

 

 

Vor 9 Stunden sagte Fluxxygod:

Kann mir jemand sagen, was ich bei der Mission „Kontrolle übernehmen“ tun soll, wenn man in Ivarstead nach Hinde sucht? Ich habe mit dem Mann im Gasthaus, dem Wirt und den Wachen gesprochen und Seite 1 und Seite 3 des Tagebuchs gefunden. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie ich diese Mission vorantreiben soll.

 

look at the solution - which I present in this story (translation into English at the end of the chapter)

Hi, Skyrim VR user, freshly reinstalled this mod and all the requirements work fine (Fus Ro Doh included), I had this working about a year ago on another computer.
The issue I'm having is that neither of the NPCs in the shop will talk to me, I'll only get the "this person is busy" message, meaning i cant interact with either of them.
My mod list is almost identical to what it was before (arguably better since I know what I'm doing now), so I'm not sure what could cause this?

Just a random thought from an LE user: I've only had it happen once, that Laura and Kat only had generic dialogue, when I went to the shop too fast.

You need to quit the game and resume at least once after you've left the LAL starting cell or Skyrim Unbound anteroom and been in the world proper. Else some mods and MCMs won't load.

 

Upon entering the shop the first time, there's a banter between Laura and Kat about this being the best bondage shop in Whiterun - so they are busy when you first enter.

Left the shop then went back in, that fixed them, thank you very much! I can talk to them just fine now!

Version 3.52 is out!

 

It brings some requested changes and a few fixes. Highlights are the skip and the Seeking The Curse end scene rework.

Try it out and let me know if you have ideas or issues. ❤️ 

 

 

Changelog for v3.52:

 

Added: The story skip!
It's finally here. If you completed the Sloane story, check your inventory for a cryptic letter. Follow it for the skip.
I could've just added an MCM button but that's not fun.
As suggested by everyone.

 

Changed: [Seeking The Curse] This one was long overdue. I reworked the endscene for STC.
It's now shorter and most of the Swain dialogue will be skipped after the first time.
And most lines now have 3 variations. (Just like The Games' intro scene) Which means it's never exactly the same. The shorter scene and random dialogue should help replayabilty.
Thanks to gamer098 for reminding me to change it.

 

Change: [The Game] I added a bunch of cooked food like stews and soups to the objective list so let's get cooking.

 

Fixed: [The Game] Changed and fixed the list of items that're chosen for the objectives.
It should no longer select items that have variants with the same name. That was confusing as hell.
Thanks to quodphelph and CaptainJ03 for the reports.

 

Fixed: [Seeking The Curse] I discovered a rare bug where it tried to equip a straitjacket when you were already wearing a hobbledress or catsuit. Those are incompatible.
It should no longer do that.

 

Fixed: [The Game] There was a line that still had 'Player: ' in front of it because I accidentally copied it over from my notes.

 

Fixed: [The Game] A few typos have been fixed.
Thanks to quodphelph for the report

I'll upload the first SE conversion I get.

[belegost]

Is there anything more apart from main story? I finished the long questline several versions ago, but I keep running into various NPCs all over Skyrim, all added by this mod, which I never interacted with.

 

I am keeping this mod as a staple in my load order ever since. I would like to explore more of it.  If there's anything more bar the questline and various "help the shop/wear devices/find devices" repeatables, could I get some hints please?

[Allen Harris]

Sorry - "The Story Skip"? What are you skipping if you have to wait until after the main story?

If you're not a masochist, you've come to the wrong place *.

 

* probably just a typo

Correct me if I'm wrong - and I'm sure Laura will if I am, but I think it is meant so that you can play through it once, get the note which tells you how to skip, then skip on subsequent playthroughs. 

 

Just my guess. I haven't tried because I'm waiting on SE.

So you are telling me that I spent an hour looking for the "key on wooden beam" for nothing? 😱

Thanks for the update and fixes.

Just to let people know, LE version of this mod works normally with SE. Even without converting the files. I thought NPCs would have black faces or something, but not 😄

[137633]

I used xTranslator to translate the esp and most of the pex files of this mod into Chinese. However, there is always a risk with the Chinese translation of script files, and I have not tested it in-game in detail.

Well that's mostly it. The story is the main thing. There's also the delivery, gathering restraints, wearing the belt and the new quest The Game which is more of a gameplay enhancer thing. All content should be listed in the description.

Like @Tycho Brahe, the note has the instructions you need in a new game.

Could you do a quick test and send it to me after? If you do I'll put it on the download page.

There's usually like 3 people who send me their conversion in the first few days. And I can only upload one so I have to decline some of them which I don't like. Now there's no-one.

I just tried, and yes, it worked for some reason. The quest skip, the "The Game" quest, and everything. 

 

I have no idea how any of this works, but it does.

Because not all kinds of archives need convertion. As this mod doesn't come with animations and the assets comes from DD, then it's ok. But i really thought NPCs would be a problem, but not.

[Raine_Hyd]

Couldn't find anything with search, but I'm using Racial Skin variance and Laura and her companions face are purple, which means missing textures. Would I have to patch her face to make it work?

I completed the entire main quest without using the Cryptic Letter. Almost no obvious errors were found. I only encountered two errors.
1. When the NPC named Master told me to kill Laura, he wouldn't follow me into Laura's Bondage Shop, I tried replacing it with the original mod in English, but it still did the same thing. I had to use the console code to move him into the shop, he lost a few lines but then everything worked fine.

2. I see that there are four male NPCs with black heads, I don't understand how to call it in the English context ---- the skin colour of the NPC's head is significantly different from his body skin colour and the head is black. The names of these four male NPCs are Doran, Ranar, master, Sloane's husband(I'm sorry I didn't remember his name.).
Repeatable quests were done once each and no obvious errors were found.

Please use the Chinese version I've uploaded this time, I've fixed some of the translation errors that were left over from applying the previous person's Chinese version.

Lastly, it should be noted that I tested this mod on game version 1.5.97 and did not convert this mod to the SE version. Yes, LE version of this mod works normally with SE.
