HOLZFRAU'S HALLOWEEN PACK (2018.10.18)

This is a pack of 'just for fun' stuff that's mostly Halloween themed. There is a Frankenstein-style stiched body, as well as the ability to play as a ghost or someone with a hidden, monstrous form.  Each of these is implemented as a single spell (usually a permanent ability), or there are inventory items that can grant the abilities for AddItemMenu users - equip the item to apply the ability, equip it again to remove the ability.  These items work for NPCs too (except Corrupted Form which is player only).

 

As Seen On TV!

Stitched Body (UNP Females only)

Your body is made out of a bunch of other people's bodies that have been sewn together (which has been built from many UNP body textures).  It beats being dead, but you're not far from a walking corpse - you are constantly surrounded by a cloud of flies.

• 25% physical damage resistance
• 25% frost resistance (Frankenstein's monster wasn't really bothered by cold weather)
• 50% resistance to poison and disease
• Easier to detect in stealth
• Major Speech penalty
• Health regenerates very slowly

Search "stitch" in the console.  Spell is called "Stitched Body" (12cc) and item is called "Amulet of Stitching" (12cd).

 

Spooky Ghost Form

You may have died, but your soul is not yet ready to leave Mundus.  People don't react to you any differently, but I might change that in the future.

• Carry weight reduced to 0, since you no longer have a corporeal form
• Worn equipment (not weapons) does not encumber you, but does not provide armor rating either.
• Spell potency is now based on your current Magicka - 100 Magicka = 100%.  This will make your spells weaker overall at low levels, but much stronger at high levels.
• 50% physical damage resistance
• Immunity to poison and disease
• Waterbreathing
• Waterwalking while sneaking, and 100% Muffle
• Better intimidation, because you're spooky
• Health does not regenerate

Search "spooky" in the console.  Spell is called "Spooky Ghost Form" (2dc4) and item is called "Spooky Ghost Ring" (332a).

 

Corrupted Form (Toggle, player only)

There is a hidden darkness in you, and it invokes instinctive revusion and hatred from other people.  Activating the corrupted form turns your body into an alien starfield (I might change how this looks in the future), which makes it difficult for people to identify you.  Don't let them see you changing forms, and don't return to an area too soon after your Corrupted Form has been spotted - if you see people starting to become suspicious, leave the area immediately or risk a death warrant!  The following effects apply while in Corrupted Form:

• Constant health, magicka, and stamina regeneration
• Killing an NPC restores health, magicka, and stamina
• "Reap" interaction (use key) allows you to instantly kill an essential NPC that has been downed
• NPCs try to kill you everywhere all the time

Search "toggle" in the console.  Spell is called "Toggle Corrupted Form" (5e58) and is equipped to the voice slot; item is called "Ring of Toggled Corruption" (691d).  If you want to be stuck in corrupted form permanently, you can add the spell "Corrupted Form" (3df5).

 

Requirements

SKSE

Optional:

• UNP-compatible body for the stiched textures
• RaceMenu if you want to use stitched body overlays
• PapyrusUtil needed for corrupt form

Potential Issues

• The method I use to apply the stitched body overrides the character's naked armor skin.  This will conflict with any other mod that also changes this skin.  Also, SKSE does not clean up this modified skin when loading a game.  If you load a game where you're not using the stitched skin while playing with the skin, it will remain on your character.  Exiting to the main menu before loading a save is the easiest way to clear it up.
• The Corrupted Form can cause some weirdness if used with something else that makes everyone want to kill you, like lycanthropy.

Corrupted Form Tweaks

Some of the behavior of Corrupted Form can be tweaked by changing Global Variables in the console:

• HolzHalloweenUpdateInterval (default 5.0) - The time interval, in seconds, for Corrupted Form to check for witnesses, both during and afterward in the suspicion phase.
• HolzSuspicionDivisor (default 3) - This controls how likely an NPC is to fire a suspicion event on you.  The default of 3 means there is a 1 in 3 chance for them to grow more suspicious.  Decrease this number to 1 or 2 to make NPCs grow suspicious more quickly, or increase it to grow suspicion more slowly.
• HolzWitnessCooldown (default 1.0) - This is how long, in in-game hours, it will take before people who have seen you in your corrupted form will no longer grow suspicious if they see you afterward.

This stitched form would be so good in some sort of necromancer or Frankenstein's monster style quest where the PC is captured and experimented on/killed and brought back from the dead. Looks good.

[4nk8r]

Ghost form ideas:

• You're naked (no ghost version of your gear at all).  All gear remains on your body (I guess a clone? that functions as a "chest")?
• 100% immune to normal physical damage, falling damage, etc. - You're incorporeal, so stuff should just pass through you.
• Since you're non-corporeal, you can't equip things, but you can move things with the Z key like a poltergeist.
  • Can activate doors, chests, etc. so you aren't stuck outside or inside anything. Technically you'd be able to walk thru the door/wall, so you shouldn't be blocked.
  • Can unlock normal locks without lockpicks or keys via poltergeist-like powers (those that are already pickable).
  • 0 mana telekinesis power. Be a poltergeist.  Add a fear effect for NPC's that see this happening.
• You can possess dead bodies (people, animals, even your own body) for short periods of time (mana or stamina-based).  Faction of original NPC should apply here.
  • This should be the only way you can do most magic outside of maybe cold-based magic or other things that make sense while being a ghost (no restoration, etc.).
• Possess live people
  • if you pass a persuade / intimidation / speech check
  • have a minigame-like action similar to the Defeat resistance thing where you have to struggle for control based maybe on Speechcraft, then you have to periodically struggle to retain control, gets harder the longer you're in the same person.
  • Level differences should alter the difficulty.
  • Can't repossess someone for a period of time after losing control/leaving/failing the 1st attempt.
  • Keep NPC faction, not your own
• 100% immune to non-magical cold/fire (cold immunity for those ppl using Frostfall, fire immunity is for standing in flames from firepits, etc.)
• If you have a "needs" mod, nullify/disable any needs.  No ghost poop/pee/etc, unless you want to add some weird dynamic where you're pooping those glowing puddles of ectoplasm.
• 75% immune to magical fire/cold (you're still not "there" physically, so only the magic part hurting you)
• Weakness or normal resistance to electrical damage (since this normally drains mana, makes sense you're weak or simply not immune)
• If you "die" as a ghost, you end up in Sovengard as your corporeal/non-ghost-like self, with all your gear (body disapears).  This could be a way to resurrect yourself.
• Get soul trapped in combat and end up in a soul gem like the Black Star quest.
  • Have to defeat dremora to "crack" the gem and escape, possessing the soul gem owner as a result.  Now go find your body. (Either before becoming a ghost, or as a result of being soul trapped as a ghost...can't say I've really ever seen an NPC cast soul trap in combat before...)
• Seek the help of a priest to "move on" (go to Sovengard, like above) or maybe get resurrected if you can bring/possess your body long enough to get it to a temple/priest. Costs a dragon soul or Black soul gem.

It just applies a skin shader, so the body type you use won't matter.  The 'starfield' texture it applies should be one that comes out of Skyrim (it's actually a texture for dust particles).  Do you have all the expansions?  It's possible the texture is actually from one of those rather than the base game.

[SirLiberation]

yes actually i do have all dlcs installed incl the unofficial patch

this is what it looks like ingame for me

but i do have some graphic mods installed, could you maybe tell me which textures are used? maybe i can find out if one of my mods replaces that texture

The texture I'm using is textures\effects\DustTiny.dds, and I've verified that it's from the Skyrim base game.  Could the issue be related to an ENB you're using?  Does the ghost shader from Spooky Ghost Form look overbright at all?

 

 

[SirLiberation]

thanks mate, got it fixed. the texture was replaced by "Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB - All in One". got it to work now

and thank you for the fast replies too

well done mod btw

[Thelewdgooberkitty69]

game wont load skse with this for skyrim se

 

[Fumeknight79]

Shame this ain't on SE. Would like to be able to play as a transparent blue person and it not just be a shader/aesthetic effect. 

[Vatiwah]

Anyone know why the body is black instead of white? o.o. Huh nvermind. its fixed after i reloaded my game. strange.
