No, I did not. Not for Sluts 1.19 B4 and not for Sluts 1.20.

SlaveTats was completely redone in 1.20

When you take a look into the data structure of 1.19 and compare it to 1.20 youll see that 1.20 uses 3 different Jsons for its Tats instead of only 1 and has its folders differently structured

 

I have no idea why it didnt work in 1.19 for some (including me tbh I just didnt really care as I dont use the mod myself) so I went to other packs and checked out how they structure their stuff. Its usually only 1 subfolder, sluts had multiple ones

 

I dont know much about ST but from what I gathered, the profile used for the MCM does indeed stay throughout savegames. Perhaps its something you dont realize if youre not constantly making new games (One of the reasons why Im creating my own Alternate Start mod; LAL takes 5 years until I get where I want and crashes half the time kek) but I definetly had an outdated MCM when starting new games. Also it seems to have issues with sub folders

Idk why that is and why only some have issues, maybe its a localisation thing, maybe its something else deep in the system. Who knows

 

Long story short, 1.20 SlaveTats is essentially a completely new SlaveTats integration that has barely anything to do with the 1.19 & Redux Version, hence reconfiguring SlaveTats is most likely necessary when upgrading. I guess I shouldve wrote that in the Patchnots (alongside what the 42 billion downloads do)

Thank you for the info. I used the Add/Remove option in SlaveTats and Sluts 1.20 now applies the tats for me.

 

 

After researching how SlaveTats stores its cache, I now realize that my previous understanding was completely incorrect. I said this and it is all wrong:

that option is typically only needed when adding a tat package to an existing game.

 

I discovered, much to my surprise, that SlaveTats stores its cache file outside the Skyrim Data directory!

 

SlaveTats stores its cache of installed tats in a file named slavetats_cache.json that is located in the Skyrim game directory rather than the Data directory.

 

Because the cache file is stored outside the Data directory, then MO2 does not manage the file, and the same file is used for all your MO2 profiles, which is really bad.

 

I posted a question to @murfk on the SlaveTats support forum, asking whether SlaveTats can be changed to store the cache file in the Data directory instead.

I've been having problems with the mod since I've done that last update. I should roll it back and see if that fixes it, but haven't done that yet. 

 

Every time I talk to a carriage driver to start some hauls (or as rehabilitation) the driver says the "Let's see what I have" line and usually just sits there on the cart. Once he got off but then climbed back on again. In the mean time my character is frozen in place and can't do anything. Since I haven't moved I can initiate another conversation with the driver but then he says that I'm already doing a delivery and that I had better finish that one first. I haven't found any way to get out of my character being stuck and it would still leave SLUTS broken going forward. I always have to load a previous start. 

 

So, essentially, for me, SLUTS is completely broken and breaks my game any time it is initialized.

Okay, so I decided to go waaaaaaaaay back with my save and moved back to a time before the new SLUTS was installed, so It should be installed on that save anew. I'm still getting the same problem where I ask for a haul and the carriage driver says he will see what he has and just sits there. I'm locked in place and nothing more happens. This is a new thing. Anyone else have this problem, or thoughts on what might be doing this?

Someone here recently had a similar issue with Quests not being able to start. The issue there was the Location Properties not being initialized properly for reasons beyond my understanding

Perhaps you have a similar issue? That should be noted in the Log if so with an Error that a Property in SLUTS_Main (or is it Init?) isnt filled. Not sure why that happens, perhaps Fragments from a previous Version corrupting the properties in some way?

[MaskeDemon]

Hi @Scrab, been testing the customization section. It seems the breast yoke animation does not align correctly. is it just me or there is some bug with the animation on v1.2?

The arms animation seems to be using a standard yoke instead of locking to the breast yoke in the screenshot below.

Edit: Tested with Chained yoke. It seems both bound animations were swapped

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

There seem to be issue with the plugs too. The Chained Bell shows up as Chained Sign and there is nothing showing for Chained Sign

In addition, not sure if anyone else is getting some texture problem in the screenshot below. When i have the armbinder combination + plug, it appears like the screenshot below

Spoiler

 

Edit: I've just loaded up with 1.18 Redux and tested all the customization, they worked.

I'm aware you are busy with HQ. If you would be so kind to guide me where i can fix them that would be great and i will upload a fixed version in my post.

Thank you very much!

I noticed in my setup that when the carriage driver was sitting I wasn't able to initiate a haul, but when he was standing I had no problems starting a haul. It's as if when he was sitting he was just resting, so I didn't see it as a problem but more a part of the gameplay.

[rambokitty]

hmmm... would it be possible to replace the courier with a random chick in a S.L.U.T.S uniform? seems like a great way to add some passive content to the mod.

[Scrab]

I dont consider the Courir Service a part of SLUTS, also there are other mods altering the guy I dont want to conflict with

 

Also Im not interested in "turning everything female". Its boring; extremely monotone. On that note, Im not into misogyny whatsoever, Im aware that the Default Haul has Dialogue that goes into this direction and that some may expect this to continue like that and to those: Im sorry but you might be better of sticking to Redux

There will be male secretaries for the HQ (e.g. the cook will be a male orc) and there will be male workers too - which wont be treated any better than the female ones, just to make that clear. You will be treated the way you are being treated due to the position inside the company, not because of the gender of your PC

[GrayCat]

Spoiler

I don't know if it was here ..
about a year ago I found a mod for SE, most likely it was remade from an early version of s.l.u.t.s
it allows you to harness any female NPC to the cart
the cart cannot be controlled manually, you can only choose one of the cities of Skyrim and you will be taken there by road.
the spell can be learned through the book.
I am not the author of this mod and I am not an advanced mod creator. maybe you could use this as a resource.
It would be nice to add a book of spells for sale from the NPC at headquarters. and also add the ability to manually drive a cart.

this can expand the functionality of the mod. the character may not be an employee of the company, but can rent the carts.

and
I also have an idea, it would be nice to add a system of fatigue and other effects to the mod (stamina regen, running and sprinting speed e.t.c)

now a character with a cart can simply run away from most enemies.

(sorry for text - it g-translate)

Cart-ENG-SE 1.0.7z

Thats actually something that will get even worse with the next version  

I dont really design any of this with difficulty in mind but more with the time it takes to get from A to B

I finished working on the reinforced Uniform (its only a bit of copyPaste action now) and the Bonuses will be the following:

 

Reinforcing

In total, there are 10 Reinforcements Levels (RLv)

You start at Lv0

To reach Lv3, 7 and 10, you will have to do a little Quest (usually a Gathering Quest)

Upgrades are Permanent and once per Part

Lv10 will cost 5m Filly Coins

 

Stats:

Defense Grows from 0 to 19 for Gloves & Boots, from 0 to 23 for Gags

• Boots increase Movement Speed from 0% to 30% based on RLv
  *Note that DDs Boots on Default give you -15% Speed, so this effectively increases your MS by 50% at Lv10
• Boots RLv10 Bonus: +50 Stamina
• Gloves increase your Stamina Regen from 10 to 100% based on RLv
• Gloves RLv10 Bonus: +50 Stamina
• Gags increase your Magic Resistance from 5 to 30% based on RLv
• Gags RLv10 Bonus: +50 Stamina

Accessoires

Additionally there are 2 more Accessoires that you can unlock. Both cost 500k

• Chastity Belts
  • Cannot be Reinforced
  • Probably behave like regular Chastity Belts
  • Have to be destroyed (in the HQ) to be removed from the Uniform
• Blindfolds
  • Can be Reinforced
  • Blind enemies in your surroundings, making you harder to detect
    • Reinforcing increases the Radius of this Effect
    • RLv10 Bonus: Increases the strength of this effect
  • Have to be destroyed (in the HQ) to be removed from the Uniform
    • A destroyed Blindfold will keep its Upgrade Level but still needs to be repurchased for 500k

 

So, the mod wont become any harder. I dont think the mod ever was "hard" and I suppose that to make you actually worry about enemies, Id have to slow you down to a point where the actual haul would just become su~per annoying, instead I want to focus on making Hauls faster and easier (that kind of sounds like the logical step when making an Upgrade System)

This opinion is probably contradicting again but if I ever were to use adult mods in my main profile, Id choose adult mods because of the gameplay they offer me, not for the possibility to see me tossed up in Bondage Gear running through the world. Im aware that some play this mod specifically for this but my focus is more about the gameplay, and slowing you down to make enemies run after you more easily is the exact opposite of that

Hence my main criticism towards Redux is a simple "Nothing is happening", the runs feel very stale and slow and the challenge was never really there (and even if that were so, the runs would still feel so slow & stale that the challenge would become boring very quickly). The Upgrade System tries to partially fight that, not only givng you more motivation to do runs (if you want to complete your armor) but also making runs faster which should help to slow down the process of runs becoming too stale

@MaskeDemon

Ill only give you a workaround, I have to admit DD Integration is pretty messy, so properly fixing this requires some more attention

1. Load up SLUTS in the CK and look for the Breeast & Chained Yoke ending with an _r
   They arent named, just numbered. Youll have to look for Sluts_Yoke(1~6)_r, the preview tells you which one is which. To preview RMB the armor => Preview
2. Open them and go into the Keywords, the BreastYoke will have a Keyword named "zad_DeviousYoke" and the chained one will have a Keyword "zad_DeviousYokeBB"
3. Delete the "zad_DeviousYoke" from the Breastyoke and add the "zad_DeviousYokeBB" Keyword to it
4. If the line saying "Slot 32" isnt already marked blue, click it to mark it blue
5. Do the same for the Chainyoke, but the other way around (Delete yokeBB and add yoke)
6. If the line saying "Slot 32" is currently marked blue, unmark it

This "should" fix the Animation, though the Preview IG (in your Inventory) will be swapped and I dont know if the MCM Options lign up. As mentioned DD integration is a bit weird; I reorganize them currently in V2 (hence it took so long for me to give an answer to this)

Thank you so much! i will go try it out

 

Edit: Fixed the yoke. The Chained Bell is assigned to Sign when rendered and the Chained Sign is not rendering anything. Would you be so kind to point out where should i make changes? Or would the changes be the same as the yoke, by replacing keywords?

Are you having a Caliente Folder for SLUTS in your SLUTS index in your mod organizer? (whichever youre using)

I am not too sure what you mean exactly I am kinda new to modding but I use vortex as my manager do you think we can call and chat over the issues sometime xD? would be much easier

 

[Scrab]

I wont go over basic stuff like how to use Bodyslide properly, there are millions of tutorials for that. Got a mansion & town to build

 

If parts of your body go missing when equipping certain Items then something is wrong with your meshes, usually means that they are missing

If youre using LE then make sure to download the LE ressources and if you arent sure that you generated SLUTS own Items in Bodyslide, generate them again

Hmm odd. Mine shows it as sign instead of bell. gonna load up the redux esp and compare

 

Edit: Yea, definitely somethings not right about the Bell plug and Sign plug. When i select Bell plug in the customization, the sign plug was equipped and shown in my inventory, when i selected the sign plug, nothing was added into my inventory. 

 

Some screenshots to illustrate what i described above

 

1. Pony tail = Chain Bell in MCM

Spoiler

Selected Chain (Bell)

 

When quest starts, the Chained (Sign) plug is added into my inventory instead

 

 

 

2. Pony tail = Chain Sign in MCM

Spoiler

Selected Chained (Sign)

 

When quest starts, no plug is added into my inventory

I am using Special edition I just need Devious devices? I thought there was assets and stuff to go along with it but that was for basic skyrim so I am not sure about SE

Open Bodyslide, type "sluts" in the top right corner, that should filter out anything except "SLUTS_PonyGloves" and "SLUTS_ThermalHarness", build those two

 If the stuff is still invisible, you have corrupted or misplaced meshes, if those arent there, then you have missing meshes

 

I really shouldnt be explaining this btw, a simple 5min tutorial video would already cover this in 10 times greater detail

Ah, I thought we were still at misaligned rendered & inventory devices

Im guessing youd need to change the order of the tails in the SLUTS_Main_Tails_i Formlist.. or however its called again

The Position in the Formlist needs to align with the Position of the list in the MCM, that might be a bit tricky to do if youre only working with Numbers though. In DD4 you need to do this for both, _i and _r

 

Its probably not worth the hassle considering the poor naming. The Sign-Tail is most certainly somewhere else in that list in that MCM (the "no tail" option perhaps?)

Ill never name things like that by numbers ever again kek

Yea I've looked through the esp indeed its kinda messy to link those words to numbers. tail4 is bell and tail5 is sign and thats as far is i could get to figure where stuff goes lol.

 

Edit: "Fixed" it by moving swapping tail4 and tail5 position in main tail form. Would give up the sign anytime for a big bell ringing in between XD

Hi there,

 

run into an issue today.

I use CFTO alongside this mod and forgot to install the CFTO patch. The mod still worked though (there were two carriage drivers, one "normal" and one to start a sluts run).

 

Today I installed the CFTO patch, but now the carriage driver (only one per city now) don't give the option to start a run.

 

 

Load order:

 

- CFTO

- ...

- DCL

- ...

- S.L.U.T.S

- S.L.U.T.S DCL Patch

- S.L.U.T.S CFTO Patch

 

 

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance.

 

 

 

EDIT: Ok, found the problem, I think it was because the opening quest was active when I installed the patch. Tested a new save, and it works now  

[cerebus300]

Haven't played in a week or so. I wanted to solve my lockup problem with SLUTS, so uninstalled it, did a fresh save and cleaned it. Reainstalled SLUTS. It is now working. I haven't tested everything yet, but looks like my character is back in the SLUTS business! Yay!

For future occurences: I made an option in the MCM .. "Reinitialize Mod" or something. Should be in the Debug Menu or so, that should also do it

 

The issue is that the mod needs to find the new Carriage Drivers first, the patch cant do that on an existing save, so its necessary to run a script over it instead

HQ will still take a while, Im almost done with the Mainbuilding, which contains the Mainhall, small Kitchen and Dining Room, Entrance Hall, Crafting Area and Display Hall. (Most of the utility) Whats left now is the East, West and North Wing, a few Caves & the Managers Chamber

 

The mod is already 3 times bigger than Redux in its current state and the building may be slightly inspired by Resident Evil. Yay. Overkill? Most certainly.
