Answers to the other questions might help.

 

If the new game has it loading, we know that it's less likely a problem with your install, but I'd not rule that out. 

 

If its not an install problem, working on the new game proves its your save. For example if you've broken the golden rule, or not started a new game when your situation requires it (as stated in the change log), then you can expect things like this.

Sorry about that.

Seems it is fixed now.  I used FallRim Tools save cleaner and deleted the toys script instances and  changeforms.  This time when I loaded the save the MCM appeared after kicker ran.

A new game is a new game. A new game never involves any save, or any save cleaner.

 

So I can only assume that you are trying to use Toys, for the first time, without starting a new game. But it requires a new game in this case.

 

You can expect problems. They may not show themselves immediately.  See FAQ #4.

The only thing that i find strange is, unlike with DD plugs it doesn't restrict what animations play in Sexlab. I find that a bit immersion breaking.

 

and i wonder if it would be possible to make this work with cum inflation mods such as Fill Her Up to prevent leaking when you are plugged with a toy.

I think that's in the "feature, not a bug" category. The origins in the mod go back to DD 5.0 preventing Shout Like a Virgin from working right because of how the animation filter worked on it.

Behind the scenes, Toys uses keywords to identify the category of each toy, so if the author of Fill Her Up or any other mod that alters behavior based on Devious Devices being equipped makes their mod aware of Toys keywords, it should be a pretty easy matter to extend that functionality to Toys as well. From the few authors I've spoken to, however, it seems most are waiting till Toys is out of beta before deciding if and what extent they are going to support it.

 

Personally I am really looking forward to Devious Training supporting Toys (hopefully!) as that was a staple of many of my earlier mod lists.

The method DD uses to filter animations is not a design that makes sense. This is because scenes in sexlab are between the content mod and sexlab, so neither Toys nor DD have any right to interfere with that scene, particularly where it's not optional and not wanted. 

 

But that does not mean we are not going to provide an optional alternative to getting the job done. We are! But that will be after we exit beta because its a big deal. Until we do offer such feature, there's nothing at all preventing a content mod, like SLaVE or others, from doing its own filtering, or other methods. SLaVE is already "hiding" inappropriate toys for love scenes.

As Gregaaz said, this requires the Flll Her Up mod to update to support Toys, not the other way around.

Just to maybe clarify the issue a bit with an example:

* DD Helpers equips on female pc: a pet collar, a blindfold, piercings and some dd boots (note: no plugs, no chastity belt, no heavy restraints)

* Pet Collar determines that a female follower wants to relieve herself

* Sexlab with OsmelMC tweaks perfectly filters the animations and finds a nice FF animation

* Pet Collar put pc into slot 0 (because it is checked in its mcm)

* DD interferes, and changes the animation to some animation that involves males and resets everything

* PC ends up in the slot 1, no strapons are equipped (probably because of the clit piercing, but I notice that changing animations and strapons don't work that well in general)

* Scene looks stupid

* Player (me) gets salty

Awesome! Maybe one can finally insist that gender tags are more important than other tags.

I was asking myself whether this shouldn't be a Toys Framework feature, but I'd guess that the animation tags aren't good enough for that.

Yes there are many examples where DD filter just plain breaks things. In the case of something like the Love Shout for SLaVE where its in combat and thus fast paced, last thing you want is the extra time delay DD creates.

HideToys() is already a Toys feature. That's what SLaVE is using. It's just not auto-tied to Sexlab tags.

 

First we have to sort out our plans with Sexlab. Right now Toys dependency on Sexlab is close to nil, and really only there because it makes sense to share arousal across mods, so the Toys dependency comes from SLA which in turn is tied to Sexlab. But we might want to become "sex animation framework agnostic". There's others. And a whole world called Nexus. And then another approach is to play our own animations. And yet another is to use Sexlab but only its registry and settings, with Toys playing the scene itself. There's lots of approaches that can achieve a better and faster scene.

It's "Spontaneous Orgasm" Work for generic or some costume Devious Belt/Plug to? 

I Love Unexpected Non-Consensual Animation from DD but only 5 Animation in total since beginning.

I don't understand the question very well.

 

Spontaneous orgasm is triggered by your arousal level. Settings are in MCM, including level, chance, and you can also make arousal increase faster.

 

Since arousal is influenced by other mods, spontaneous orgasm is effected by anything changing arousal, including Toys toys, and DDs. Spontaneous Orgasm can also occur shortly after an orgasm in a sexlab scene.

 

If you want more animations, you need a Toys content mod, like Shout Like a Virgin, not just Toys alone.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it’s triggered by Some specification of device. Or just for toy mod only.
Sorry, English is not my native language ?

For instance the Ostim framework, arousal & defeat modules should be coming in the not too distant future.

What slots are used by Toys? I'm having a conflict with TAWOBA Remastered... equipping the top bikini part makes the chastity belt disappear, although it is still equipped.

The slots are the community standard, set by ZAP/DD from way back. No differences.

 

Try turning off the DD Device Hider if its on and you have DD. Top of the DD MCM tab for that.

 

This is from the Features post under "Making Toys / Handling Toys / API"

You may want to ensure that you have one of the versions of TAWOBA that are compatible with Sexlab Survival. The "vanilla" TAWOBA uses its own system of slot assignments for the armor pieces, whereas the SLS compatible versions us the same slots as Toys and Devious Devices.

Yes, I'm using the version linked to on the SL survival page. @VirginMarie thanks for that image, that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. It does look like a TAWOBA Remastered issue, which is strange, given that it is linked-to by the SL Survival author. Let the troubleshooting commence!

 

In the meantime, huge kudos to @VirginMarie. This is superb, very excited to see the future updates and integrations!

Minor Bodyslide Update Released

 

The Bodyslide package, for Toys LE CBBE only, has been updated to v0.7.1. Pulsating Toys - The visual effect you will see on the Scanty Belt and Bitch Boots, was missing for this body. Fixed now

 

Pulsating Toy:

Teaser Videos

 

The next release will be the last beta. Then we exit beta with v1. Here's a few of the new features finishing it off...

 

Gag Signing... No tedious menu clicking. Instead you use sign language.

 

 

 

Blind Falling... Blindfolds already give the blind movement animations. Now there's the consequence of falling when you least expect it.

Chance settings in MCM for running and sprinting, with sprint falling must more frequent.

Guide - How To Make A Toy Box

 

 

I've added a guide to the Toy Boxes post.

 

No scripting needed, if you'd like to make your own toy box. This could be for personal use, or to publish.

the toy story quest doesnt start even though im on a new save i have all the requirements. Any ideas ?

Or just the name of the quest so that i can force start it. There is only toysframework and toysmcm in the mod quests rn (that i can find at least)

1. Sounds like Toy Story is not loading at all. You sure it's installed?
2. Do you see Toy Story in the MCM? It should appear as a separate mod.
3. Have you ran the "installation test" in the Toys Setup tab? Does it succeed?

If the answer is yes to all of those, let me see your papyrus log. Need the log for a new game, so just start up the game fresh, new game, let things run for 3min, confirm that Toy Story's quest did not start again, then shut down and grab the log for that. There's a "how to get the log" in the FAQs if you need info on that.

I didn't really start anything yet, only a new game with toys & story installed... already found a typo though.^^ The journal entry says i should visit Helgan, it should be Helgen though. Except it's refering to another place i'm unaware of?

It's now already fixed for next release, smarty pants

 

thanks. Oh and the post you "liked", that feature is done in the next release too (MCM option to turn stripping off for spontaneous orgasm)

Balance Feedback Needed

 

Next release is gong to be the last Beta. In fact I'm tempted to skip that and go directly to an exit from beta, so next release might even be V1. Depends.

 

But either way, I'd love to get some "balancing" type feedback... Are features in the "Goldilocks zone"?... not to hot, not to cold, bust just right?

1. Arousal increase / decrease
2. Frequency of Spontaneous Orgasm - this ties to Arousal, so without it, arousal would be significantly different
3. Frequency of exhausted
4. Time it takes for toy transformation caused by hits in battle
5. Frequency of hardcore bindings - was lowered significantly - please set it to new default if you upgraded before commenting
6. Chance/frequency for Crawl / Blind / Strip
7. Health and Stamina harm, amount and frequency

All of these things can be adjusted in the MCM and I've not mentioned some of them. Really I'm looking for 2 things....

• are they the right defaults?
• do they let you change it up enough?

There will be very different preferences, that's a given, but I still want to hear your thoughts. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

[(\x.x x) (\x.x x)]

I don't have any balancing feedback, but I fiddled around with creating a toy box for 

https://www.loverslab.com/blogs/entry/11270-kziitdfeitshset-bdsmmaid/, I figured you might be interested in feedback for that as well.

 

The most challenging part was to not make minor mistakes, and I failed by putting a wrist toy in the arm FormList,

and I had the body toy proclaim to use slot 32 instead of 58.

These issues were quite hard to pin-point, so I'd like to suggest to add an integrity check functionality for ToyBoxes in the MCM checking

whether Toys are in the wrong FormList or lack the correct slot mask.

 

Aside from that, a non-blocking version of WaitToysLoad would be nice, a CheckToysLoad if you will, for Mod authors to use in their MCM as well.
