Hello. I was wondering if this mod is made to not allow a male character to work for the brothel? I'm not getting any options to actually become a prostitute. Thank you.

I've suggested having a pimp path before, and ruddycray seems open to the idea, but also doesn't just want the player character pimping out Lydia to everyone.  I have toyed with the idea of scripting a pimp add on, since a lot of the quests would make just as much sense in that role.

so the tasting is broke, kk i'll ignore it or kill him after i get bored with the bounties, was kinda fun altho i didnt see gilisi and her brother banging like i wanted lol

For anyone having issue with the Vanikseth quest "Culmination" quest where you're getting the dark elf's inventory instead of initiating sex, I found the source of the problem (at least in my case) and a solution.

 

If you have Adamant installed (which requires Mysticism), there's a spell that gets applied to the dark elf woman when you reanimate them called "MAG_PerkReanimation" which applies an effect "MAG_PerkReanimationGearController". I didn't look at it much beyond that because that seemed like an obvious cause of the issue.

 

If you target the raised dark elf woman in the console and use "removespell MAG_PerkReanimation" that removes that spell from her and you can proceed with the quest normally.

 

Really enjoying the mod, thanks for the effort on it!

Also, I can't promise to repair anything in the port because I don't know anything about it.

 

Just to be clear what my position is, I don't want players to have a poor gameplay experience or to have the impression that I'm not putting any work into fixing things that go wrong.

 

I'm not saying I won't fix any LE-specific bugs, if it's clear what's causing them and won't hurt the SE version to fix it. But I don't have time to test both versions, and I don't use LE anymore as a player, so it will always be a lower priority for me.

 

My first thing with it as a separate LE download is that it keeps up with my releases in a timely manner. Any problems that don't exist exclusively in the LE version would be fixed by this.

 

My second thing is that if you would not commit to fixing LE-specific problems, then players need to be made aware that this is still not officially supported. To be sure, I have not seen anything that breaks the game or had anyone report anything I could reproduce myself in LE that did so. It's just always a risk, because this isn't a mod made for LE. It just happens to work OK for the people who've tried it.

 

My position has always been and still is that I'm OK with someone packaging up an LE release, though, if they want to put in that effort.

It does not currently allow male characters. I do have it on my list to allow basic prostitution for male characters, but I don't have an estimate on when that will be done.

It's not so much that I care whether players pimp out Lydia as it is that there would need to be a game mechanic I found satisfying to explain why she would agree to it, when that's not why she is following you around. Of course, if you want to build something as an add-on to what I've made, go for it.

The tasting quest works for me. I need more details if it's not working for you.

 

Your second thing is there.

 

Spoiler

You need to enable the option that Benjen's rumor is true and go into their house between 11 PM and 3 AM. Also, the last time that will happen is during the 24 hours you have to wait after delivering the letter to Erikur during that quest.

Glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for the info! Having that detailed info might help me figure out a way to work around the problem.

OK I'll poke around at it and see if there's anything I can do with it. While he does always do what he's supposed to do for me, I have seen him delay a bit getting down there, so I do have some ideas I can try.

If I had the correct knowledge to fix LE specific bugs it would be better. So far, the current version of the port is a test of how many would be willing to do so, i.e. a small number of downloads = no interest and it is not worth the effort.

 

From what I have read, it is a port from LE to SE or vice versa, few times it has a specific problem and usually it is caused by a specific user modlist.

 

As you wrote, focus on the SE version and we will see what will be the interest for the LE version in the next version own download page.

well, I, for one, appreciate the LE conversion. i have tried a number of times but just can't get SE to work right, so i'm sticking with LE. thank you for making this available. also thanks to ruddyray for the mod in the first place. i just stumbled upon it, so looking forward to checking it out.

Any chance of this mod coming to Skyrim Legendary Edition? It would probably run as is, if it wasn't for the fact that the "Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch" is a hard requirement.

There is an LE port by @killer905 just a few posts up.

The author has already written that he has no time to port to LE or to test it later. As jfaser already wrote a few posts above is my port.

I guess that depends on how many people would know to come looking for it mid-thread, but you'll have to decide for yourself if you think it's worth it, of course.

USSEP isn't a hard requirement, but there might be some things that don't behave right without fixes from the unofficial patch. Some of those might be in the unofficial patches for LE, too. I haven't checked.

 

It looks like you found the LE download earlier on this page, though

ok the succubus system really pissed me off and im not going around banging every deer, goat and fox in the game after i run out of forsworn and bandits to level it, trying to cure it bugged out and the stupid zombie did nothing at all but stand there, running out of good mods to try on 1.6.353

Take it or leave it, to be honest. It's not meant for leveling all the way up in 10 minutes. It's meant for a play through of the game.

 

If you're having major problems with lots of things not working you've probably got major mod conflicts. This isn't a buggy mod.

Thanks to this detailed info you provided, I was able to find a way to work around this issue. While I haven't figured out a way to stop her inventory from opening when you have this mod installed, I have found a way to keep the other mod from blocking the sex scene. The next release will include this fix.
