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

[swords and sandals]

Yes, just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting the extra collar, cuffs and bra as something to add in to the Locked Away quest. (I'm also not a huge fan of the bras.) I thought it would be nice to have some optional extras I could choose to put on my character myself that matched that great belt texture. I was thinking perhaps some branded restraints that Laura could sell -  or perhaps even offer as a gift or at a discount. After all, she'd be getting some extra advertising out of them.

I also use Darker Dungeons and a dark ENB, but it's not very fair because I placed the key myself.

I did add a light right next to the key, so it should always be visible. Do you think it's still too dark?

No not at all. I think I must have skipped over some content somehow. I have the marker in the storage room and the door is still locked, 27 will perform the distraction, but the key is not on the table in the blacksmiths room.  I think that is where it is supposed to be.  I still have a blindfold on but no one offers to take it off for anything.  My dialogue is extremely slow and gets hung up some times, so I think I have something else in my load order messing up your mod.  I'm trying to figure that out now.  I will let you know if something is not specific to my case, but don't change a thing.  This is a terrific mod, well thought out and fun. Technically it is very well done from what I can tell also.  I am going to start the Quest again from the start and see what happens.  Keep up the great work!!!!!!

[nufndash]

Please disregard my previous post. Restarted the quest, everything went flawlessly, and was a great planned out and interesting quest! When you have 180 mods, DD, Enb, all together there are just going to be bumps. lol.  My only criticism, and its weak at best, is that Laura is just too nice to the Dragonborn.  It would be pretty cool if Laura had a evil sister across skyrim with her own shop, and somehow the Dragonborn got mixed up in the middle of a fued. Anyway, love your mod, love your style, please please keep up the good work....you are like the only thing keeping Skyrim going.  No pressure though. lol.

I know.

My english is often very bad when I'm really tired, so it doesn't come across like I want it to. Sorry. ?

 

The matching set would be really nice.

I was thinking of using them for a delivery or advertising quest, but putting them up for sale or using them as a reward would also be nice.

I'm also not a fan of chastity bras by the way.

Thank you. ?

I understand what you mean with her being a bit too kind. I don't want her to become 1 dimensional.

 

I'm not a fan of adding another shop though. I don't want to split my focus too much.

Sadly with the death of Captured Dreams there will be a void to fill there.

Well, I guess what nufndash suggested is less about another shop and more about someone decidedly less nice than Laura and I am pretty sure you will have that covered by a certain mysterious someone who probably most here are eagerly anticipating and who will almost assuredly end up enslaving the Dragonborn at least temporarily in a future quest and whose name I have forgotten, therefore describing her in a roundabout way

[bubba999]

About the new quest. I'm in the slave cave and have the storage room key. I guess 27 is supposed to create a distraction but nothing happens when I click on her. Any idea what I should be doing right now? Thanks.

Is your character gagged at the moment?

Spoiler

She can't ask for help if she's gagged.

Yeah, it's a shame that it's gone.

My mod wouldn't exist without CDS and Vel's help. I learnt most of what I know while I was in his testing group.

In a way, my mod is kinda like CDS' legacy.

Laura will always be the softy, someone else (like Sloane) will fill that role.

 

I still kinda regret calling the shop owner Laura. It can be confusing and it makes me seem egotistical, but I wasn't planning on releasing it when I first started working on it.

But she can't get out of the gag while her hands are tied up....

Long time lurker, just dropping in to say that I really enjoy this update as well as the mod as a whole. It seems like a lot of other BDSM themed mods try to do too much and just end up being overbearing, which gets boring to me when it takes too much out of my hands. But especially with these new quests (Blending In was a ton of fun), you've really struck a balance of restricting the player while also keeping the gameplay interesting. You've said you're taking a bit of a break so you don't burn out, and you've definitely earned it. Still, I'm selfishly eager to see where it all goes from here. I'll for sure keep tabs on this mod

I don't have any problems with the shop owner being called Laura, in fact, I find it lovely and sign of deep involvement.

And yes, adding some cruel and harsh NPC would be nice, Sloane or someone like her sounds quite right for this role...

Ha.. What a Shame. Again it was a really good update with a lot of fun and your design is awesome. I feel happy that you will continue, but enjoy your break and dont burnout

When you ask her to tie you up, she will put standard DD devices on you and it's up to you to get yourself free.

I think of it like a challenge you can give yourself.

 

I still want to implement the DD timer feature, but I can't get the damn thing to work.

The other problem with a timer like that is the balancing. When I put timed devices on the player, what is keeping the player from using the wait menu to get out?

The feature where you ask her to tie you up probably won't be drastically changed. I like the way it is now, but I would love to hear any suggestions to improve it.

How about setting the "timer" to "Walk x distance..." and then it unlocks? So you can't cheat yourself out by waiting and still have a kind of timer going on

It may be because I'm not good at the programming part, but I don't know how to do that.

Like I said back then, I like the way it is now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

As far as I know there isn't any reliable way  to measure walking distance as Skyrim is divided into load cells.

One way to do it is to place an invincible item on the ground near the player, measure the distance between the player and the item. If the distance is greater than X then remove the item and place it again. Repeat this procedure. This is quite messy and not really worth the hassle/load imho.

 

One thing that could be looked into is counting the amounts of times a "clocktick" function has been called. If somebody just plays the game it runs a lets say every 10 ingame minutes. So after 2 hours the counter is 12. If you wait 2 hours you skip the 12 cycles so the counter is 1.

DCLs timed chastity belt has a timer based on time played doesn't it? so waiting doesn't progress it at all, maybe ask Kimy?

That one works like all the other DCL timed thing if I'm not mistaken. So it's also "cheatable" by waiting/fast travel.

so, i tried the new 3.0 version (on my new laptop.... yeeeee it loads modded dkyrim in like 10 secs so... nice... XD remember when it took 30 secs for me)

overall, i like the new aesthetic updates. the new banners are swell and i REALLY like them. also, the friendly chatter b/w Laura and Katrina is a nice touch!

now... about the mod's missions. since i started a new save and thus a new main quest from start (i did the thotium mission before the update so.... T.T maybe i'll try it later when my save is finally broken beyond repair and i gotta start over)

1) the first mission to capture Jade, like a stated before in 2.02 version too, it still applies, ie, it's my favorite mission. (though i notice a funny thing since i havent made it so that i cannot access the inventory... Jade mentions ball gag but you are only hooded but have no gag is applied... XD) the only annoying part of the mod (which kinda applied to almost all mods) is when other npcs started talking, the subtitles from the mission npc got drowned out... but that is the limitation of skyrim...

2) the mission to go to the slave den was... i'll be honest, too maze-y for me... though in the end it was neat too. just having to run around to find tiny keys was VERY annoying. XD

3) i'll put the last three missions in one since they have the same core idea, just differently executed. it was neat albeit a bit boring for me since i had a similar mod that i've played through like 3 to 4 times... though the last one was the BEST of the three since it made me feel like an idiot savant who kinda figured the answer and also stumbled at it at the SAME TIME. XD

overall, i like the new direction the mod has taken. i was hoping to see more new types of recurring quests too like the collecting restraint ones... idk, maybe quest to collect debt and use the jade mission as a base with a chance of success or failure of capturing the npc. of having to either run the shop or help laura run the shop and having to equip restraints to "show off the goods" to customers... idk, these are the only ones i can think of right now...

overall, i like the idea the mod is going towards... my only wish is that we get to capture Jade (and who know, become allies [or enemies... your choice. XD] united by some common cause)...

oh right, the ONLY problem i have with the mod so far is with slone....the guy we are finding a slave for.... so far, the story tell us of no reason why katrina doesnt just goes to him and shanks the fool dead... XD

I'm not sure, I once tried to wait for several days to get out of it with no success and when I asked on the support thread wether it was broken or not they responded that you couldn't cheat it by waiting due to the way it tracked time

Do you know the exact item? Most if not all mods use a system of onupdate, currentTime and X time, but as known that's easily cheated.

Think it's just called the time locked chastity belt, or chastity belt of shame?
