Cool. Any way for me to get my hands on it to test it out?  

 

Unfortunately no. I may start up a beta testing thing in the future but for right now I don't provide early builds.

No one really seemed interested and I kinda forgot I was working on this to be honest.  I did all the Female Young eager voices and I should have done Tlatha's brother but I can't seem to find them at the moment.

Just so you know I'm planning to update the links on this mod to point at your voice pack when I make the next release.

 

And I for one was definitely interested in hearing the results.

I have something to report about this mod

Not sure if it is a bug

In my first play I already did all of vanilla quests so i did not encountered any problems.

In my second play through with this mod and starting new game during quest line in Dibela temple 

when PC is invited by Corvus to come to party as soon as i entered Sanguine realm

vanilla quest A night to remember was force started and updated to the point where i 

need to go to Morvunskar and look for Sam.

I think somebody else reported this. My guess is because I copied Sanguine's realm from the quest and copied some kind of trigger object I shouldn't have. I'd forgotten about this though so thanks for the report.

Well there are 100 pages so yes i am lazy to scroll and read all of them.

Thanks for the replay and here is hoping for a update to the mod.

I wasn't complaining about the duplication. I only meant you're not the only person who has had that happen.

Maybe this?

Very likely. If I copied a trigger, it just shouldn't be there at all. I thought I got rid of all the unneeded copied stuff, but there's also a lot of stuff in the original cell that makes it hard to see what you're looking at, and some of it does need to stay.

[kamithemoon]

I went ahead and updated the voices mod with 3k additional voices.  But I must stress that this is not 11labs and voice quality will vary and I do not have the time to go through the thousands of generated lines to listen for problem voices to regenerate.  The vast majority should sound very good though but at least 10% of these will have issues.

I've had thoughts of it but nothing I've started doing.

I see you are planning Beta Testing, but it makes me wonder how you want to distribute it?
Discord, Club on LL (only for beta testers), In this thread or any other way?

I haven't gotten that far in the thought but I will probably stick to LL for distribution unless it doesn't work out well.

Im pretty confused vanikseth is not leaving the room in the Inn. How am I supposed to follow him into his workroom if he never leaves the room? When I interact with him he just tells me "this is no place to talk"

Do you have any mods installed that give NPCs things to do or anything that changes the area around Winterhold in any way?

[ASDASDASD_Smasher]

Hello,

 

Just wondering hows it going withbthe update? The bed scenes still dont seem to start with p+ though I havent tried out yet with the latest version.

 

Also, I have some small questions.

 

Is Benjen killable? Can I just kill him if I have finished his quest line and want to stop working for him and dont want to pay or will that fuck things up? 

 

Also, about the quest where you are trying to free Phylawen, her admirer comes up with 2000 so are you reslly supposed to pay the remaining 8000 all by yourself? Because that seems like a LOT. Or is there some other way to finish the deal?

 

And what do you gain if you free Phylawen? Is there any real reward to this quest?

You can't kill Benjen, because he'll be essential to both the Dibella's Garden and eventually the Black-Briar quest lines. If you console unessential him and kill him anyway, that will definitely break future quests.

 

There's no reward to freeing Phylawen other than just the feeling of doing something good for her, since she's a slave in all but name. The quest is more about what an absolute ass Benjen is than it is getting rewarded.

 

I don't have any news to share right now about the next update. I still need to implement some quests for it.

Could you please add lesbian content? Like, making half the clients women, adding "I'm not attracted to men." when needed...

[Omnishade]

Sounds like a very interesting mod as most prostitution mods don't really go to any lengths to be immersive with the game world and lore. Would you consider adding SLSO support? It just makes more sense if you have to satisfy the client to receive full payment. Radiant Prostitution does this pretty well, but the dialogue is the part where it doesn't care about lore or immersion.

I also agree with adding restrictions to what kind of NPCs you can solicit, but why not Jarls, soldiers and stewards? Maybe they should be busy with something lorewise, but they are practially just standing/sitting there most of the time. Soldiers are just roaming around their camps all day waiting for some entertainment it seems. But this is not a big deal, since you can use other mods if you want to prostitute yourself to them.

That might be politically correct by modern standards, but not immersive in the game's setting. Playing a female character and not being interested in lesbian content, I would not enjoy it, but since women in Skyrim aren't really working in the kitchen all day(it has a more modern take on the female role in society) a patch might be a good option? Or having a smaller area where the women go, since lesbians are a minority.

 

I probably wouldn't download it if I only had a handful of male clients for my female character and the rest of the place was filled with non-clients, not to mention the quests having lesbian content.

Soldiers can be solicited, go to camps speak with camp commander and u will have an option to offer service to soldiers. You can't offer service to soldiers directly after all it is the army so chain of command is important.

Jarls are public persons like politicians in real life and they don't like to be associated with prostitutes so i guess same rules apply in Skyrim.

Women can be solicited, base chance is very low, but you can change that in MCM.

I don't allow Jarls and stewards because it annoys me when sex mods have you do things with NPCs who then act like they have no idea who you are. It's very immersion breaking to me. It's also why I'm fairly selective about involving vanilla NPCs in quests in general.

 

I might consider some SLSO integration but I don't have immediate plans for it.
