Hm, your mod playing with fast travel restrictions alot. But for some reason it doesnt work with Better Fast Travel. In fact non of the mods that suddenly restrict fast travel work. DCL for example.(and by "don't work" I mean I still can fast travel)

Any ideas how to make this damn mod work with loverslab mods? It's very neat tho, adds alot of carriages and stuff to immersively fast travel, would of been shame to get rid of it.

I don't know how Better Fast Travel works, but when mods disable fast travel, they disable the vanilla fast travel system. It sounds like Better Fast Travel uses a different method, so it isn't effected.

It's best to not use or uninstall BFT if it's bothering you. Mods like mine don't work with BFT because it's not a good thing to change things from other mods and because it would be a ton of work to do it with all the fast travel mods that would need it.

The funny thing is when it sometimes work. I had those rare accasions when it says "I can't fast travel in these bonds"(in your quest about strange rock, if im not mistaken). That's why it confuses the hell out of me. :3

Yeah, I guess it comes down to uninstalling it or disabling fast travel all together, BFT has that option.

Thanks for clarifying. ❤️

Hi, just checked this out after Captured dreams has now been removed :?

 

Maybe it would be worth changing the text the characters say? (I remember one of them refrences the shop)

 

Anyway, just wondering if you are going to add more soulgem/enchanted plugs in the future and extend what CD did maybe?

It's a shame that it's gone, it was a damn good mod.

I was one of his testers and I learned most of what I know from him. Veladarius is a great guy.

 

I don't want to copy his stuff. The forced and nonconsensual stuff also isn't my style, but I could try to fill the hole CDS left.

What kind of stuff would you like to see?

Hmm interesting, I have attempted to make mods, but all I can do is duplicate items and change stats

 

I would just like to see just some enchanted plugs that increase stats really, but then on the other hand it may be a little problematic when just copying things directly. I know that some would just want a direct copy, with quests and everything but I just want mods to be simple (bringing back using old versions of that animal mansion mod, very painful!)

I think you should just expand and keep doing the stuff you're already doing. This mod is very good and has even greater potential, the quest it brings are very fun and surprising so just keep up the good work. I can't wait to see how the narrative moves on ?

I think the "required" conversion to DD 4.x has halted the mod's progress in general. Or maybe the other issue that where discussed in the testing DM (let's keep the details private) are what lead to the removal. Anyway, shame to see it go was a good mod.

 

You could look into a "CD-lite" the idea of a non-ponyplay courier is something that's a nice DD themed alternative to the standard run around quests and mods like S.L.U.T.S.

There could also be a consequences system to the mod, something that was discussed earlier. If you play by her rules all is fun and good but if you mess up you get to see her darker more dominant side. Or maybe hand that off to her assistant.

well, i was a big fan of some of CD stuff, like the plug, the simple delivery quest with the belt plug, and a punishment if you fail, i was also a big fan of the embassy quest, so how about a quest than send the PC as a sex slave (only if she voluntary) to a jarl or something for some days, and at the end if she fullfill her role getting a big reward like payment and if not getting imprisonned (with the PO stuff maybe), or just a simple repeatable delivery quest with someting simillar to CD would be good (btw i just discovered your mod while trying to redo all of my very old skyrim installation and the CD mod dissapear was the arrow to my knee, and i looking forward to try it when i finished my brand new skyrim installation)

He made the Little Helpers Plugs with an enchantment, so making something like that should be easy.

Thank you.

It won't distract me from making what I want. Making stuff that I want to make will always have priority, but it will give me more opportunities. I always really liked CDS' stuff, but I didn't want to make things that he already made. But now that he deleted CDS, I feel like my mod could help fill people's CDS shaped hole. (I know that "CDS shaped hole" sounds dramatic, but I don't now how else to say it. )

My mod won't turn into CDS, but there are a few things that I could do.

The delivery quest was one of my favorites from CDS, I probably played that about 100 times. It's definitely something I would like to make.

 

Something like the CDS's punishments were also really good. The problem was that I didn't want to fail, but I really liked the punishments.

I could make something like those punishments as a reward for something. I'll never be a fan of nonconsensual stuff, so it would be a roleplay after you asker her to do it.

I'm still a big fan of repeatable quests. So I'll probably make something like the delivery or recovery quest.

You could start with the delivery quest part. It's not really that hard to set up. If you need help with the idea let me know.

The outcome reflecting your results on the quest are the most fun of CD. That would require most of the work, getting the "afterparty" done.

 

Also working on something similar for my upcoming mod that revolves around the Dwemer Cuirass from MaikCG. The quests for the mod are stil in the design phase at the moment but the framework for the Cuirass and level design is mostly done.

Just a question but with the new update , are we going to see the quest line continue or will it be more off a repeatable quest content ish release

because personally i appreciate unique quest lines above repeatable content

End of the week is friday, yes?  You can't possibly count glorious weekends as part of the week, right ?  

And after reading the above mentioned CD Embassy quest and you replying with a tease:

I'm thrilled!
As much as I love awesome new devices, animations and such, I think that new quests are still my #1.

I honestly LOVED your thief quest and was truly looking forward to my trip to the slaver! And even though the outcome was different I was still satisfied with the ending and kept hoping for more.

Can't wait! 

[darktej]

Regarding Captured Dreams, I really loved it. When it initially came out I really loved the Embassy quest. It was unstable for me, kept crashing, but I wanted to continue cause it was so good. And when it got the huge update ...really loved the Manor slave and Relationship slave content. Many people complained ..that it was too repetitive..I didn't find it so and was really looking forward to more content. but more importantly I hope Vel is doing alright. that is more important.

Yes, this please.  Repeatable quests, particularly with various (and configurable) challenges.  They wouldn't have to all be ambush stuff.  If you're on a short timer to complete the quest and get presented with the chance to help someone, do you do it?  It might delay you just enough to fail.  Should you?  Hmm.

 

On the punishments, you could handle that with dialog.  Laura could ask how challenging you want it, or you could ask for a harder assignment, with a lower chance of success and a higher reward.  The understanding is that requesting a super-duper challenging job is basically requesting the punishment, and the lines could be written with that context.  You might actually succeed and get a nice reward, or fail and get a different kind of reward.  There's a lot of room for consequences and punishments that's not non-consensual.

 

Going along with that, if you've established a good relationship with Laura, she might let you choose your punishment after you fail, with the additional option "I'll let you decide."  Again the idea is you wanted the punishment, but this way it was a game.  If you want to get really involved, if you let her choose, Laura might remember which punishments you've requested before and have a weighted chance of being more likely (but not guaranteed) to give you what you like.  Because it's a fun punishment, not a harsh one.

Exactly how I feel!!!

I probably replayed the thief quest about 20 times. I checked every week for progress updates and I am so excited for it´s release. This feels like christmas and birthday combined ?

Thank you so much for all the time and care you are putting in your work, and be sure that it´s appreciated! ?

It is actually quite easy.

 

For example, I've made some OP'd plugs that never let you cum in exchange for increased health/stamina/magicka regen.

You can also attach scripts to enchantments. Working on a prototype that won't let you sleep longer than 1-3 hours before waking you up with vibrations

 

Creating custom plugs with the default effects is very easy indeed.

Ooh, I like the sound of that prototype!

[Richard1234]

Hehe, that prototype will wreak havoc if combined with the devious follower mod that requires your follower to sleep for at least 6 hours. Hmm, I think that mod also has a feature that allows you to get a room for only your follower at an inn.

You're right. It's easy to make a simple fetch or delivery quest. The issue is keeping it interesting as a repeatable quest.

A system to select an npc for the delivery quest will be easy because Vel already figured that out, but it'll need surprises and twists to keep it interesting.

You're too kind.

The weekend is also part of the end of the week I'm afraid. I also can't guarantee that it'll be ready in the weekend, because I recently hit a snag that delayed it a bit. But I think I'll make it if goes smoothly from here.

I also really liked what Vel made.

I think that the criticism was about the sometimes lack of interactivity that could make it boring for people who didn't like the scenario. I really liked it, but I understand what they mean.

Choosing an impossible task as a way to get punished is a good one. A relationship system could also be great.

The problem is that both these idea will take an incredible amount of work.

@naaitsab @HyperonicX @Laura 'Lokomootje' Try using that with a survival needs mod active especially one with a sleep requirement. See if you can meet those needs of the character then!!

[Jappa123]

Its been a while from last big update in any huge mod, kimy is a bit quiet lately, maria eden was almost ready in may and then something happened and still nothing, zap also almost ready but still probably few months before release, no new mods comming out, not gona lie last few months were really tough for players to be honest

Anyway im excited and looking forward to play new update!
