Spoiler for Molag Quest starting conditions:

  Hide contents

For the molag bal quest, when your doing the quest for making the milking machine if you go to the building where you first meet molag bal and go to his shrine and talk to him there, it should teleport you to Coldharbour.

as for the mech stuff, I've never used it, so I can't help there.

Thank you for the reply. how do i get the quest for the milking machine? I'm 100 percent and have nose ring and bell.

Okay, good to know my questions wont even be acknowledged.  Still think some great work is being done just wish there was more info on some of the new stuff that was added or even an answer.

I just returned from a vacation yesterday. Sorry I did not notice your posts immediately, but I needed some time to catch up. The recipe can be gained via a little misc quest obtainable from Acolyte Jenssen once you've cleared half your debt to Paul. Use that on a tanning rack and the resulting scroll on an npc bac cow. Every 3 successfull scroll casts you'll get a visit from Molag's emissary who let's you bail out of the bovine aspect (not the slavery to Paul, though).

 

The milking machine parts, etc. are used in a quest "A Craftsman's Masterpiece" that starts at some random point when

• No one escapes Cidhna Mine is completed AND
• House of Horrors is completed AND
• Being A Cow is running

 

Btw. all of this is written in the Changelog on the file page. It may be some way down in a prior update, though.

Botticelli, that was nothing against you. Thank you for replying. Love the work you have put in. You are doing a great job with continuing the mod. Are you going to add in Paul releasing you at some point?

so I think he'll still call you your new name but I don't think it changes the actual characters name (e.g. your save game name), I could be wrong though as I've never turned that setting off.

4 hours? What the hell are you people doing? All you need to do is sit on a safe location surrounded by guards like in Whiterun then do this:

 

1. Press the 'Wait" button and wait for 1 in-game hour.
2. Wait a couple seconds to see if the Hunters warp into Whiterun.
3. If they do wait until they engage you in conversation then after killing them go talk to the NPC and go back to step 1, if they don't you just go back to step 1 immediately.

 

This process takes me at worst half an hour to complete, I've done it multiple times.

Well I killed dozens of hunters, no start to any kind of quest that involves being enslaved by the jarl like was initially mentioned by other poster so

[HerChianti]

There's no "being enslaved by the jarl". The only interaction you have with Whiterun's jarl in the mod is when you go talk to him about creating an ownership certificate for Paul.

Well another poster mentioned remembering that being a thing and bott only said kill more hunters, which would imply there was so I guess sorry

[HerChianti]

No need to apologize! You did nothing wrong ?. Just clearing up the misunderstanding that you can be enslaved by the jarl which is not true.

1. talk to the hunters and choose the kill option

2. then kill the hunters

3. go to Paul and get next accessory

4. rinse and repeat

The renaming option must be turned off *before* Intro into Being A Cow starts, else it will be ignored because the dialogue variables have been set.

it was turned off before I left the prison with the Mora statue on alternate start.

But is that to be actually enslaved by the jarl like the poster mentioned? Or just to run past the questline in place with Paul and the temporary milking in the jarls palace?

Because the meaner darker far more tattooed fucked up cow 32 path is much more my speed than pauls

Hence why i was excited about a 3rd possible option with jarl

Like I said, there is no 3rd possible option with the jarl.

frustration is starting to set in. I'm in Cold harbor. I have the minotaur press one button. I run over to press the other and I can't press it. any suggestions? any tips? any tricks? anything from anyone? and when I get close the daydra spawns in and he does his thing to me so I'm getting kind of frustrated cuz it just throws the timing completely out. and neither of the buttons look like they are activating. the Minotaur keeps returning to his start point. it doesn't register i spoke to Mandy. and if i console complete it i'm still stuck in coldharbour. I really need some help here. Afflicted are spawning when I try to get Hugh out, randomly when I first get placed in Coldharbour. using version 2.0.2

please check, if you have a loose bac_config.pex lying around in data\scripts from an older version. Then there wouldn't be the quest variable needed. When installing a new version, clean out all old loose scripts.

It works as follows:

• place Hugh not too near one button and tell him to press it
• immediately run over to the other button (with the instruction crosshairs still active) and wait until you hear the button sound
• immediately press ESC or something other to leave the instruction crosshairs and then immediately press the second button (this might take a few tries)

It is supposed to be tricky and the harassing dremora isn't helping but that's the reason those two prisoners were not able to get out on their own before. I need about 3-4 tries myself each time.

Hello, is there any way to remove tattoos? For example, to pay some NPC after the end of the plot of the cow?

If you do the milking-off (clear half your debt to Paul first, then talk to Acolyte Jenssen, then do the misc quest to gain the recipe, use that on a tanning rack 3 times, use the 3 resulting scrolls on 3 different npc bac cows, talk to the emissary to get rid of the bovine aspect), the tattoos will be removed with the last stage.

hello, for some reason hand hooves and hooves shod by Paul are not displayed (transparent). no one knows why this could be? Everything else seems to be working

Did you run the BodySlide generation for the hooves? (Look at this post)

Yes

Those are CBBE-based, not sure how they work with UUNP. *But* The hooves displayed in your first image are the very old hooves which are no longer in use. Did you clean out the old bac objects before installing? This looks like a mixup. If you had those lying loosely around, it would explain this issue.
