Your favourite mods + Mod help & CBBE for NPCs?

[Militus]

Hey there,

I just purchased the AE upgrade JUST to be able to use some of the mods out there and my game seems pretty stabile so far.

I had a few questions though I'd love to get help with from you guys!

1) What are you 5 or 10 favourite NSFW mods to use that are currently up to date? I'm trying to go somewhat more safe with my amount of mods this time, so would love to know what the most used are! I'll be playing a female character with male companions, incase I feel like having a male do things. Will probably be involved with creatures and defeat, too!

2) Is there a way to get the NPC bodies to look more unique? I remember when I played the classic Skyrim sexmods all NPCs had unique bodies that fit them, now it seems all of the men have pretty small penises (using SOS & AE patch) and the women are all pretty petite. (CBBE skinny). Is there something that adds more uniqueness to all of them? For example I recall Ysolda was pretty 'gifted'.

3) I've been googling and a lot of the guides I found are really out of date, but I really want to add my own NPCs/Followers into the game, so I don't have to make multiple saves and can bring my own characters along. Is this a hard thing to do? Is there a proper, SE/AE guide out there?

Thanks so much in advance! ❤️


Edit: Is there a general good rule for load order? I use Interesting NPCs too and I heard I should keep it high up, with alternative life? Is that correct?

What about CBBE & it's addons? CBBE at the top, followed by feminine argonian/khajiit and ending in a patch if I need one?
Same question to Better Males! BM>Masculine Argonian/Khajiit>SOS>SOS AE?

1) My favorite NSFW mods are designed with the player as dom and include Paradise Halls and the subsequent mods by Musje. It doesn't sound like these are what you are looking for.

 

2) There is a recent Thread about this found here:

 

3) Adding NPCs/followers is as easy or as hard as you want to make it. With the Creation Kit for SE/AE now available on Steam that should reduce one bit of work at least.

I'll definitely have a look at 2 and 3, thanks! Do you know if there is a guide for the NPCs? I literally just wanna create them as a PC, save their appearence (and choose what weapons they use, maybe?) and make then an NPC. I think I can make them a follower through console haha. 

Edit: Damn, the bodies seem like a lot of work. Shame that they don't have like.. Weight built into them. I've always been shy of messing around with Bodyslider and just hoped there was a mod out there that gave vanilla & DLC NPCs some prebuild bodies. :)

Here is the basic material I used to make my followers:

 

 

When you make an NPC it is simple to make them a potential follower at that time while still in the CK. Making them look the way you want, well, that's a little harder.

Alright, thanks so much! I'll take a look at it!

Any idea to my issue of Better Males & SOS? I'm not sure if there are other male genetalia out there to use, but SOS seems to be having a lot of issues.

As you already noted SOS is primarily an issue as a load order problem. Once you've worked it out you'll be fine. I haven't had issues with it in years although I also don't play with the McMenu for it either.

[Militus]

Tried all the combo's I could find with them, but had no luck. Vortex isn't exactly kind to load order changes manually. I finally have such a good working mod group but can't get erect penises. ? It wouldn't even be so bad if it didn't undo my Masculine Argonians/Khajiit's and Better Male stuff. 

Edit: Reinstalling it all after somehow fixed it. lmao, oh well!

That's likely because, with the other mods already installed, Vortex recognized where SOS needed to be in your load order.

Two more questions!

Do you also happen to know if there is a replacement for Defeat? It just seems to cause a lot of issues, breaking my animations etc.

And secondly, how to get creature framework to work?

Edit: Actually, since it's technical, made a new thread. Would still love to see peoples fav mods!

1) There is no widely accepted alternative for Defeat. There are other options but there appear to be glitches with all of them. You might want to try Sanguine's Debauchery though if you are interested in animals.

2) Go to the LE version of More Nasty Critters. Follow the steps listed there and you should come out all right (of course, always using whichever version, i.e., LE or SE/AE, for all mods specified).

I followed those steps, I'm still just... lost. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing.

This is what I'm talking about. If you're still lost try this. MNC is one of the best documented mods on LL. Sadly, it has to be because of the complexities involved. Don't try to make it harder than it is. Do exactly what MadMansGun says to do. Do not do anything he lists as optional until you have a working installation.

Yeah, I still got nothing, honestly.

The first one talks about files SE/AE does not have in existance, so I can't go off of that.

The second one I downloaded prior to asking for help, it's all over the place and not very clear. It basicly shows a clean install, not just for creatures. 

The issue here is that CF is so outdated and flat out doesn't want to work/register anything. Whenever I open it it just tells me it's outdated and will cause crashes then does nothing.

[Militus]

Tried it again and it still says it's trying to work on the framework, and matchmaker etc doesn't work without it, so I imagine animals just don't work without CF.

[Psalam]

CF was included in the most recent version of MNC (at least on LE, so I suspect it was also on SE/AE). Your problem might be that you are trying to use an outdated version rather than the one that comes with the mod.

Seems that might've been it, thanks man!
