Ohh, one question actually: do you have zaz installed, and have you clicked the Register sexlab animations button in the Zaz MCM? And if you have, have you made sure to disable the "override animation" box below?

 

Finding animations while belted can cause issues, and if I recall correctly the only valid solo animation of that kind comes from zaz. Additionally, if both the DD anim filter and the Zaz anim filter are active simultaneously you may run into problems.

 

 

I didn't have Zaz anims registered apparently (I thought SL Anim Loader handled it) so I did that and unchecked the override however unfortunately this did not fix the issue. Also, Estrus Charaus+ animations are occasionally playing during the tease scenes lol so something is very borked with my filtering and keywords.

 

Thanks for the help, at least my Zaz is properly registered now! I'll keep looking into it or if you have any more ideas lmk.

I'm having a weird issue where installing the mod makes my character freeze up in a t-pose. I don't think I've missed a requirement or anything. The only issue I can find is in FNIS, when updating behaviors it gives the following warning >>Warning: \character\behaviors\FNIS_DeviousFollowers_Behavior.hkx not Skyrim SE compatible<<
Is there a patch I missed? (I downloaded and added the 170 esp ones but it didn't help).

Another quick question, when you play the ownership game and your follower rolls the die, are you suppose to see a message about what the roll actually is? I see the roll result when we do the money gambling game but I don't see any message when doing the chastity ownership game. Trying to figure out if this is normal or if it is perhaps linked or indicative of something which is causing my bug to occur with this event.

Installation Question issue:

I thought I followed the install instructions but got the same error message as this thread attached. Is there a certain order these have to be in or what am I forgetting? 

I appreciate your help, thank you in advance!

If you're getting "masters missing" errors, then, if I'm not mistaken, you've installed one of the patches in the DF downloads. The patches are apparently what have the dependencies - you don't need them if you don't have those mods installed.

That is correct. For example:

Dev. Followers - Cutting Room Floor - Patch.esp depends on CuttingRoomFloor.esp

Did you install the mod 'Cutting Room Floor'? If not, you have 2 choices: install the mod (and its dependencies) or remove the patch

                                                                          If yes, go to your plugins tab and make sure the CuttingRoomFloor.esp is enabled.

In Vortex I like to re-deploy my mods and re-sort my plugins when I make changes to refresh the information.

 

Just because a patch is available doesn't mean you need it. Each patch has its own requirements. If it's bridging 2+ mods and you only have the base mod - in this case Dev. Followers Cont. - you don't need the patch.

Thanks for the help! I corrected this and also noticed that the mod was active but the plugin was disabled, which I assumed when a mod is enabled the plugin would mirror that.

Part 2 was a separate issue was some used nemesis or FNIS and I switched over to Pandora which surprisingly no errors, and now everything works! 

Again, thank you for your help!

Hi, is it possible to have the follower to ask you to wear a particular outfit, for example bikini?
If not, are there integrations to do that? Or a simple method, for example editing item keywords?

 

Quote

Many deals will require you to wear a devious device. You do not have to lock the device; the follower just needs to see you are wearing it. You may even be able to remove it, briefly, without the follower noticing. This is one way that you may manage to eat or drink while wearing a gag. If the follower catches you breaking the terms of the deal, they will add more debt to punish you. The device you wear isn't usually specific either. If you need to wear a corset or harness, any corset or harness will do, it doesn't have to be the one the follower gave you. There are exceptions to this like the circlet, amulet and ring deals, along with the chastity belt, the tape gag, also the items required if you are enslaved, and some others.

What happened to Devious Followers Redux

I believe that was in the Ponzi collection, AKA abandoned.

[DTESSurvivor]

Playing AE latest version with the Nether Follower Framework (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/55653) noted Devious Followers activated without the "Click Me" activation.  This was Lydia and first companion (I didn't get anyone in Riverwood).  After half a day of not activating via text, I couldn't dismiss without starting the mod via dialogue and paying her.  Was also able to cancel via MCM FYI. 

 

Also had the same problem while using AFT, noting the complications described.  The counter just starts on the "Follow Me, I Need Your Help".

Is this now more current than DF-Redux?

 

[Sierrok]

I downloaded DFR form Ponzi Dump file, and now am having issues with the follower taking care of licenses. 

If this is more up to date, I may need to change

I’ve used the DFC before and took a year off from it. Now I can’t seem to get the MCM for DFC to appear but other mods will recognize that I have DFC installed. I have tried restarting the MCM through a console command but nothing makes it appear. I am using cutting room floor but neither the Ai or SLACS mods. Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated. 

I'm having similar issues, but seems that others are installing it without issues, so hoping to discover the cause.

1) I'm using the DF Continued 2.14.5 with the 2.14.6 AE replacer files.
2) I started with a rather full modlist so stripped it down to ONLY the requirements for DF with the only exception being:

     -Although the documentation required DD 5.2, I had to add DD NG 0.4.0 to get around the "invalid DLL" error, if that could be a factor.
3) When other mods are present, they detect the presence of Devious Followers.  I also get the "trust" dialogue message on followers.
4) With or without Jaxon's MCM Kicker, the DF MCM configuration just doesn't appear.  New starts don't fix it.  Starting without it and adding it later on doesn't fix it.  

5) UPDATE: nothing in any log indicating any errors related to keywords devious or follower in any of the tests.   The esp appears in the appropriate mod lists logged, but absolutely no MCM.
 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

UPDATE:  
It was PAPYRUS TWEAKS NG.   Although it was listed as installed and active, something was bad in the download apparently.   When I moved on and installed Inte's SUM, it reported an error reading the version of papyrus tweaks.  Everything loaded the moment that was corrected.  (Thanks Inte!)

DFR/DFC is more or less abandonded at this point but in the DD discord there is work being done to bring it up to date and fix alot of the bugs the mod has

Could you walk us through how you fixed this. I am having the same exact issue!

In my case, I stumbled around for a considerable amount of time, uninstalling and reinstalling everything and listing ONLY what was absolutely included in the prerequisites for the mods.   I didn't have much luck that way, so I moved on to other mods, and it was then that SUM listed an error generating "Papyrus tweaks SE" 's version.   Papyrus Tweaks NG WAS installed (it's a listed requirement for Devious Devices NG, which I used after getting the errors for just using DD 5.2) and the mod manager didn't list any conflicts with other files, but out of an abundance of caution I uninstalled it and reinstalled it along with its prerequisites (address library for SKSE and the Visual C++ redistributable). 

When I restarted, SUM reported no error and I went back and reinstalled several of the mods that seemed to not work in MCM (Babo's dialogue, Devious Followers, and Devious Followers Redux were three I remember testing) and they all ran without issue.

I can't say whether there was a glitch in my original install of Papyrus Tweaks or whether it was the Vis C++ redistributable, but since I have run several other things dependent on that redistributable recently, I don't think that it, itself, was a  factor.

Is there any way to disable to voice packs that come with the mod? They're just not my cup of tea...

[renounced]

Sorry to bother everyone and I'm sure this was already addressed but I can't find it easily:
 

Will there ever be a version for older versions of SE like 1.5?

Doubt it, BUT ... Try this:

• download this file
• download the file for LE
• replace the SE/AE .esp with the one from LE. Theoretically, that should give you the updated meshes and textures with an .esp that will work on 1.5.97. Ignore any warnings about being for a different game.
• Depending on your mod manager, you might want to extract this version to a new folder, then replace the .esp with the one from LE, and .zip it back up to install

Alternately,

• download the LE version
• extract the contents to a separate folder, maybe call it DFCmyConversion
• download Cathedral Assets Optimizer, set it up (just follow the instructions) and use it to convert meshes and textures in your new folder from LE to SE
• Repackage the folder you made into an archive with the updated files
• install as normal, again ignoring any warning about a different game
• Open XEdit, select the DeviousFollowers.esp
• When everything is done loading, right-click on the .esp, select 'other' from the menu, then select 'create SEQ file'
• When it finishes, close XEdit.
• If you are in Vortex, deploy so it catches any changes. For convenience, I would copy the SEQ file you just made and paste it into the archive you created, overwriting the one there, so you don't have to do that process again.

Hi everyone, I have a small problem.

I've reviewed the requirements and installation instructions several times, downloaded the required mods more than once, and MO2 keeps telling me that Maestro SLACS.esp is missing for DF SLACS Patch.esp.

I can't find what step I'm missing or what mod I need to install.

Thanks.
