Console: "Player.RemoveItem XX226460 1"

That will get rid of the translation and override the fact that it's a Quest item (just tested this to make sure it works).

So now you have the item out of your inventory.  Recommend going to Gulum-Ei at that point.  He's the most expensive option (you might be able to talk him down to 1/2 price), but he's a sure thing.  You'll have to wait 20 hours for him to come through for you.  Once you have the verified scented panties, don't drop them and don't put them on.  Proceed directly to your friendly Khajiit panty broker who should be FactionRank = 4 for XX015895.  You can check with the FactionSpy mod spell, or console "GetFactionRank XX015895" with that character selected.  Use FactionSpy to change it, or "SetFactionRank XX015895 4" if it's not.

Got it. Will try those steps right now.

Just made a discovery and the script we had you use fixed one thing but broke several others regarding Quest stage progression.  Try this one instead.  Just tested, albeit with an updated ESP file.

okay. So I'll add it to my script folder. Bear in mind I cannot go back to an older save.

 

What do I do after it's added?

-edit-

I think I'll need an updated ESP file, too?

Your game would CTD with the ESP that's being worked on right now.  The properties are all the same so you should be mostly Ok with the ESP you've been using.  A condition or two might be off but we can work around that via the console.

 

As for what's next, I don't remember where you left off between the multiple attempts.  Ultimately for that Quest you go Giraud-Khajiit-Panties-Khajiit-Giraud(Optional)-Master Uvani/Urag.

We were at the part where Ma'dran was asking me to go find panties, but wasn't pulling the book out of my inventory. You then had me execute a console command to pull the book out of my inventory, and were trying to drop a hint of where to go to find the scented panties. Gulum-Ei isn't working for me. Who else can I go to?

Taarie, but you have to have done her Quest with the clothes first.  Gulum-Ei conditions are pretty basic, but SBCSV has to be at 30 for anybody's dialogue to show.  The section with Ma'dran appears broken for you and probably didn't advance the Quest properly, so if you've got the transcript gone, use console "SetStage SBCSV 30" if it's not already there (check with "GetStage SBCSV".

[Archon459]

Got it, so advancing to stage 30 is my next step.

-Took screenshot before using console command; not quest notes, as shown, in journal

-Used console command; took screenshot of Journal update at the top of the screen

-Additional screenshot, this time with Journal update open; new entry at the top

-Went to Gulum-Ei in The Winking Skeever, and there was no dialogue option related to panties. He made a comment about me being in the guild (dark brotherhood, thieves' guild), but that's it. 

-Talking to Taaarie gave the same result: no dialogue.
-When I went to Elisif, I was able to pickpocket all 4 of the panties I pulled off of her. I then got an update in my journal (two screenshots below)

-Went to visit Gulum-Ei; no update
-Taarie; no update
-Visited all three Khajiit caravans; no new dialogue

wonder if you have other mods overwriting SBC? fertility mod or something?

The [...] in the Journal display means the RefAlias for the selected Khajiit didn't fill so reload back to that earlier point and use the command sequence we used earlier to force Ma'dran into H04.  Still make sure Quest stage = 30, then go to Gulum-Ei.  Don't waste time with the others; if it doesn't work for Gulum-Ei based on some of their common conditions, it won't work on anyone else either.

I don't have an earlier save, so I'm stuck for now. Will it definitely break anything if I end the quest through the console?

In your game?  No.  In further SBC progress, quite possibly so I'd try this instead: 

• Console "Player.AddItem XX22645E"
• Console "SetStage SBCSV 60"
• Return to the Collage Arcanaeum for the next dialogue with Master Uvani.  A scene should play where Urag joins the conversation.

Worked. I'm on the next objective: find an innkeeper.

Those new voice samples sound amazing! Can't wait to give it another whirl whenever a new version drops. Really appreciate all your hard work this far.

Managed to free a few captives from the restraints.

 

After the first few quests to free captives, I got another one where I was not able to free her. This time, for the first time ever in my save, the Subjugation option worked, but after we fast-traveled all of the other dialogue went away. I rebooted from a prior save and was able to Liberate her this time.

 

 

[Archon459]

I had this problem come up again. I subjugated a captive, got her to let me call her Slut, had her Follow me, and soon as we changed cells (went outside), the scripting broken and all dialogue from your mod no longer shows up when I try talking to this captive. Luckily I noticed it before I saved too many times, so I was able to go backwards to before I subjugated her.

This time I moved outside, checked the script, it was working normally, fast-traveled to whiterun, still working normally. I'm not sure what's breaking it, but it looks like it's not entirely stable. NONE of the other mods I'm running involving adding dialogue to NPCs have any issue running when switching cells or fast-traveling.

[Archon459]

Had a very unusual interaction with one of the towers from the Genesis Watchtowers Reborn mod, too. It's either your mod, or Genesis, that spawns more enemies than normal. The tower close to Dawnstar spawned a bunch of extra enemies that actually moved away from the tower and raided Dawnstar. They killed a couple of guards and an NPC. Not entirely sure having a tower that close to the town is a good thing.

Pretty sure you've got some intermittent script lag from other mods.  SBC by itself is quite stable, but it can suffer when other script engine hungry mods suck the oxygen out of the room.

That's 100% Genesis.  The only things SBC adds to those are an occasional bedroll and a brazier, plus the invisible captive placement markers.

Genesis - the tower by Dawnstar is especially bad.  it is placed where it "should" be far enough away.

had a case where i was doing Waking Nightmare and had not went in behind Erandur yet and saw the tower bandits attacking

a mudcrab and they wound up attacking Dawnstar itself.  they did eventually go back to their tower after killing a total of 9 residents

and guard of Dawnstar.  only 4 bandits died in the process so there were a few left.

 

[Archon459]

Appreciate the prompt responses regarding the towers.

As this very promising looking mod is labeled "WIP", should I install it right now? Or is there a 1.0 version around the corner? 🙂

Thanks for asking.  Newer version coming out hopefully in the next several weeks following some significant updates to the code and functionality (that are taking longer than expected).  Should be completely converted to HPH and have all lines voiced by then as well.

[KCOLL]

So happy to hear that look forward to your new release! Been in my load order since your original upload. How many years ago now?
