I'm not certain why they disappear for you. I checked their AI Packages and after you tell them they're safe they should go into normal sandbox AI. Near Self not Editor Location.

 

Well, it very well may be some goofy interaction with my home is your home or iAFT. They stay where I drop them just fine if I go through the usual process for re-homing a follower via MHIYH, so that's my guess. 

 

I do wanna say these are great followers- not too hard to get at, fun little quests to rescue them, and the backstory is nice. Looking forward to seeing more!

I'm trying to get the next batch of girls out. I'm just running into hell getting them to sit on the furnitures right, if they'll sit on them at all...

I saw this problem discussed with reghards to Hydragorgan's Slave Girls since that mod has a lot of slaves in pillories or whatever. 

I don't mean to explain your own expertise to you but if this helps I read that the problem is that every time a cell is unloaded the actors forget their ai and the animation they are supposed to be doing. Hence they'd be standing on the ground when they were supposed to be crouched in a cage. The proposed solution was to have a script to reset the ai every time the player entered the cell.

Regardless I've seen many comment on how Paradise Halls can't keep restrained slaves from somehow walking off. Heck I've seen slaves told to pose follow me while posed on their knees with their hands on their heads. Skyrim is weird. My sympathies.

Oh and I know I mentioned it elsewhere so in case this is giving you extra hassle I absolutely understand that the priority always has to be getting the mod working first. ESL flagging can wait.

[Pyreite]

If I can get them to sit right the first time a player sees them, that's good enough for me as unless the player just leaves them there, they should only need the first chance. I've checked for consistency and I'm down to just 1 damsel remaining that won't sit on their furniture and it's the worst case of getthefuckin.

 

I've written her dialogue around the fact she's supposed to be in a gibbet and the gibbet really really doesn't doesn't want to cooperate. I as the player can get inside it just fine, but NPCs seem to have severe issues doing the same as she just walks up against it. Sometimes after 5 seconds she gets in and that would almost be satisfying but then she does the issue where she keeps some inertia or something and floats posing halfway into the cage.

 

So know my pain.

Thanks for the update, do we have their locations posted anywhere?

Currently playing Skyrim VR. This looks like it will be a good mod. If you can make it so ZAZ is not required (not supported in VR that I can find) I will play with it.

 

Thank you for your work

 

[Pyreite]

I do have non-zaz versions in mind.

Okay I am liking the update and it is earning its esp slot now.

Do you know if it will conflict with the Save the Icerunner mod?

I have never seen or heard of this mod before today. Its page does not illuminate as to what it does with the inside of the icerunner. If the mod uses an enable parent to revamp the icerunner when the player saves it then theoretically it should be fine. All I do to the icerunner is block the door Navi is in, replace the double bed with a bondage bed, and place Navi inside it. If the mod creates a new Icerunner "world" for the player to play with then Navi won't appear inside it because it's "not the same" icerunner as the one I modify. I really don't know, but my guess is that it will be fine. Let DiD 0 overwrite it.

I'd vote for some simple quests to track the girls, eventually something like the radiant quests from "missives" mod, a note or something.
It would be nice to know if there is one in the area where we are now instead of looking where the locations from the txt are, and going to them one by one...

I tested Eren in Orotheim, I was surprised she had so much dialog... Well actually at some time the dialog is about some fluid she has between her legs, but she has none. She was not assaulted by the bandits while I was there, maybe it's because this place is very small so it didn't take long to get rid of all the bandits inside. She was standing near the fire, naked, bound and with a gag. Well the conversation was a little out of scope since I didn't even play a man here, and she hadn't been assaulted, but the idea of some noble breton found here is original at least, rather well done !

I'll try this out later but that dialogue sounds great. The lack of animations is understandable. Especially considering the issues Pyreite had just getting the girls to stay in place. Plus it would feel weird to literally be raiding a dungeon then have to pause when you open a door to see a rape happen.

Mentioning fluids dripping down her thighs is just flavor text. I don't have the ability/mechanic/feature to force them to fuck. I was hoping players would just play along with it as it's just apart of her story. I have a feature to initiate sex between the player and the hornier damsels, but not between npcs.

 

Writing for Eren was fun tho.

Ok no pb it was just to be sure since you said you wanted some feedback !

[kamidju13]

Is there some hope for LE conversion of this mod?

[Pyreite]

Yes.

[zelurker]

Some more news from Eren then, I had my doubts about her efficiency as a real follower to really play, tested her with nff which is quite good at making followers useful I admit, and took her to the bards dungeon.... As I thought she is not very good with her bound bow, she doesn't seem to know when and how to use the spell, I saw her use it only once. But surprise, finally she's not that bad ! She grabbed a bow from a dead body and she's actually quite good with a bow, at least at low level (currently level 8). Seeing that I gave her some arrows to improve that. She knew how to stay out of trouble, she uses her flame spell sometimes, and the bow more often. I gave her some shield and melee weapon in case she is forced to fight in melee, but she never used them. And she still has the noble clothes from her default outfit !

All in all, not bad !

So what I'm getting is you dragged her into combat with her only having the noble clothes and the rinky dink iron dagger she equips on rescue?

It is common practise to bring followers along in the outfit that was designed for them to wear by the follower mod creator. You might want to add some dialogue to indicate that isn't intended this time.

Looks nice. Does this mod has voiced dialogues ?

The girls equip either cloths, some light armors, or iron armor and iron weapons when they are rescued. It's supposed to be cheap junk that they found to cover themselves up and protect themselves once they get their freedom again. Admittedly, only one girl mentions the concept of putting on whatever they could find and that's a specific dialog path. Eren puts on noble cloths admittedly because she wants to hang out at the blue palace so she would go all out for it. Her clothes are NOT armored or special. All the stuff they equip is supposed to be balanced with not breaking early game in mind. And vanilla. I don't want the player to save a damsel who then just equips ebony armor. Sorry if I'm not following common practice.

No voiced dialogue, just default voices. I don't have voice actresses to call on.
