I am stuck with the task "organize a party" but i cant ask father about the task. i have tried set pchspartytask to 1 and also to 0.  neither one helps.  is there a setstage i can do to clear it? or where do i go from here?

you have to go to Honningbrew meadery and talk to the bartender, you need to pick up a bunch of mead from him and bring it back home. Something Like I am here to pick up a package for my father is the dialogue prompt

Well unfortantly that wasnt the problem.  sabjorn had nothing to say to me.  not sure what to do now.

will this tell me where the "organize party" quest is stuck at? "Help  pchsSlsoInstalled"

Why isn't obvious the global "pchsSlsoInstalled" means SLSO is detected installed (1=true,0=false)?

 

pchsTaskParty tracks the steps to make it happens, with 1 being the stage for picking up the package from Sabjorn.  "Mister Sabjorn, I'm here to pick up a package for my father."

4 is the party.

From what I understand, the party quest has 4 stages before yoiu have to start serving the guests. Here are some things you should know. In the current build, the party quest can get softlocked if you come back hime and have less then 20 honningbrew mead on you. This should be fixed if you either get some more or use console to set the global pchspartyquest to 3. Then instructions should follow.

The dialogue is also bugged if you cheated your way in the party quest. I think father has to have given you an outfit first, otherwise no dialogue will show when talking to father.  

If those are not the issues, the part quest works that every time you serve a customer, the global of pchspartyquest gets one added. Let's say you have to do 10 tasks for it to end; the global of pchspartyquest should be around 14 to fifteen, next time you trigger dialogue with a guest, you should get the blackout effect. Let me knoz if this might have helped you.

Thank you for giving me the quest stages.  however for some reason even though it is not related in anyway i tried this before seeing the comment earlier ""Help  pchsSlsoInstalled" and the very next time i talked to father he said we need to organize a party and everything worked perfectly.

Yes, my team and I are working on expanding it.

Where do I put the supplies I get from Belethor? I did not get a dialogue to give them to Father and was punished for failing the supply run task.

 

 

EDIT: I had neglected to get the supplies from Eorland.  That's why father wouldn't take them. Once I had ALL the supplies, the task worked fine.

If you ask father to be his slave, he tells you to kneel.  How do I kneel? Is there a hotkey? Is there a specific animation pack I need to have loaded?

I understand you are referencing the SD+ outcome. You become a SD+ slave to your father and Wartimes ends. You do kneel in that mod. (Sanguine's Debauchery).

• Could we at least find out how long we have to wait? Sure, you just recently said there would be an update...but it could also come out in a year or in five months...so how long do we have to wait?

Well I do have SD+ installed, so you may be right.  Thank you. So once I am a slave, do I stay with father or get sent to the SD+ auction?

Is there an SD+ auction? I don't remember that. Maybe you mean SL++ (Simple Slavery Plus Plus). I can see how the names could be confused, lol.

 

When you submit to father through SD+ in this mod (the requirements are decently high) you become his slave with the mechanics of said mod. You stay his slave until you do the kind of things you need to do to get rid of your slaver in that mod. You should check that file/thread instead. Since this thread is about support for wartimes.

 

If you "want" your father to auction you (through SL++) there is a different outcome for that, a lot easier, too. Just ask about your mother (while she is still alive and "receiving medical treatment") and tell him you don't have money. One of the outcomes is giving yourself up in slavery to pay for your mother's treatment. The other is "even worse" lol.

Anyway most of this information is readable in the flowchart in the #1 post (the file) in this same thread.

Thank you for responding. You are right, the auction is from SL++, not SD+. There are 2 ways to get father to enslave you. On is the way you described, by letting him sell you to pay for mom. That puts you at the auction. The other way is beg him to be his slave . that results in you immediately becoming fathers slave.  At that point he tells you to kneel before talking to him and will not talk until you do. That's where I'm stuck. I can't kneel so the mod stops there for me. After spending several hour look for the kneel animation/pose with no luck, I gave up. So I guess I just can't play as fathers slave.

I don't believe it's possible for you to get enslaved via sd+ anymore. It worked back when pchs was developing the mod but with other people taking over sd+ became a relic of the past and no longer works in wartimes as far as i know.

it is possible and very easy, in monoman1's version at least. You just need to be rude from the beginning.

where do i get the must up to date version of the mod, if i undertstand correctly there's a modified version of the mod somewhere? Will this work with SE version of skyrim? And is it possible to launch the mod without alternate start mod? its a very old moad that not many use.

There is option in MCM to start the mod without Alternate Start.

 

 

You can find requirements here or look for them in OP of AD-modified version. Ad tweaked version works with SE too but have minor progression problems due to random father responses (some events harder to trigger).

Hi all, been a while. Just a 'small' update. A new version of the tweak is life. This will most likely be one of the last updates on the tweak itself. 
There might be some small updates here and there, but we have reached the point where the base dialogue and scripts are not getting changed much more. There might be some small updates, but we are happy to have a final tweak version out.

You can find it over here:

 

My comment when the new version can be found here, in case you want to see how I would explain this mod:

 

On a comment made by me, the thread page is also updated, the comment is mostly my explanation of how this tweak / mod works

New content is being added on the addon, which we are working very hard on, the tweak is a framework and at this point we are trying to have a unchangeable solid base, hence the tweak. If planning a new playthrough any time soon, use this version, see what you find. It should be the most stable, best diqlogue and easiets to understand with clear install directions.

Have fun!

Also not sure it works out of the box with the newest YPS. See above. 

I have installed your V10.3SE mod. After starting a new game and speaking to the statue of Mara, I am unable to go to sleep in a bed. When I use MCM to start the mod and enter the farmhouse, I am teleported back to the starting prison. What could be causing this issue?

it doesn't seem to be wartimes problem, pick any vanilla alternate start, and after sleeping use mcm to start the mod.

This looks like an Alternate start issue, it will teleport back if the character is detected outside the room, until a proper start story is executed, that will disable that feature. Try using a different start story that is easy, like being Erics friend.  The Wartime start dialogue targeted female nords, maybe female of some mer races, will not appear for male or maybe orcs, reptilian, or custom race.  You can try the MCM Start after clearing the start issue with another quest.  

 

If the Mara statue does not provide any dialogue then it is still an alternate start issue.

 

After you fix the starting issue....

Spoiler

Also, some of the wartime quest or soft mod requirements, requires that the merchant inventory containers get a proper merge\bash\smash patch.  Try using WryeBash to create a bash patch only, if it asks for disabling plugins select no, do not use it for starting the game or resort the plugins. The created BashPatch plugin always goes to the end or very near it.  It will try to resolve metadata conflicts and in the list is the merchant inventory containers with the custom quest items injected.  

 

This is not in the requirements list, it is a common creation engine modding concept that needs to be done.  Use to be done using a script in SSEEdit called "merge" but it is now obsolete because it was never adapted to SE\AE extended plugin system. 

 

Good luck
