!Maidens of Darkness

[sigiel]

hello,

 

Do the revamp will need a new game?

also do you have some kind of "official" background description, i'm playing with mentella /aiff ai mod, that give them personality, I invented some, but i rather have yours.

I created a gui to make those personality really easy for mantella.

When the revamp is ready it will need a new game. I've tested the changes so far with an ongoing game and not everything is changed.

For the moment I'm using "Young Lovers" mod to give them temporary backgrounds based on their voice types. It's a nice mod that I recommend that makes them more interactive. I will be adding official background on the ladies sometime. Mostly in the forms of diaries, books, etc. 

You can find the Young lovers mod here;
Young Lovers - Voice Overhaul (SE) V .11a at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

Some new followers will be joining the mod.

I do know Cathedral Luminosity Lighting Overhaul was having issues, not sure why that would effect the mod though.
Do you have the correct Zaz animation pack? If not you want Zaz 8.0+ CBBE HDT 2023 (Without this, MoD will CTD any cell that has a maiden in it)
Try using a different skin, it could be something in Demoniac that Cathedral may be having an issue with. You can change the skins anytime regardless of what you choose in the FOMOD. 

 

 

This is probably it... I'm on AE using Sexlab P+, which only has SLSB conversion packs for ZAZ 7.0. Means I'll need to just drop this follower mod until ZAZ 8.0+ gets included into the SLSB conversion list or if I take the time to convert it myself. Damn shame.

Why is everyone so hard to kill? Is there an easy or novice settings? Thanks

Yeah I'm going to tweak their difficulty for the next update. 

[CGI_Models]

If I do not use my home is your home, where do they go?

I believe they'll head back to where they were captured.

Just downloaded this and noticed something, possibly, odd.

 

Under meshes\Sonja there is a folder Captured Maidens ?

 

Should this just be under meshes? e.g. meshes\Captured Maidens?

It's all the hair and eyes folder for the rest of the maidens. At the time it was just easier to stick it in Sonja's folder, trying to keep things condensed instead of spread out.  A moment of madness I guess lol

Hey Rowdy, happy new years! So I've gone through your forum for help on this, but only saw something for ctd with bianca when you look at her. Maybe that rings a bell? I followed your steps for a manual install on page 2 support page and tested it on a new save. I placed bianca at my location and immediately crashed. I tp'ed unlucky pete beforehand and he appeared just fine. I have zaz updated so, I'm wondering what I'm missing here since a lot of others on here seem to not be struggling with this? I have all your other npcs mods you've made thus far and wonder if those could conflict. I hope to figure out a fix with this though since this offers all of your previously made maidens. One last thought is this could have to do with the additional textures or meshes to select from your fomod as I may have selected one of those instead of your defaults at the top. Hope to hear from you soon!

Happy New years to you too!
Manual installation gets a bit dicey with fomods. I recently had someone else have the same problem. Try the following;

1. Uninstall Maidens of Darkness if you haven't already
2. Next open and extract the "Base Files" to skyrim/data folder
3. then choose only one of Calia looks and extract to skyrim/data folder
4. Again open the base files and extract them to skyrim/data 
5. Turn plugin on and test

Thanks for the advice. By "base files" I'm assuming you mean the meshes and textures of the titled "base files" folder. Okay did that. Next I went to the midnight folder since it's her "default" pack choice and extracted all meshes, textures, and the esp into the data folder (didn't drop them in a subfolder) so they're all together under textures, meshes and the individual .esp file in the data folder. Next I take it you want me to take the base files for skin textures, (I chose the texture file for diamond skin since it's your original choice skin) and extracted/merged it with the texture folder again in data. I'm assuming this is all you've recommended to do here, so I'm going to turn on the plugin and test it. I got this mod to work one year ago so I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I can't be certain that is or isn't the case.

Okay, this method still hasn't worked. Unfortunately when I placed Calia at my location, like half a second later my screen froze and I crashed. Didn't even see her pop up. I don't want to be sitting here, implying something like 'fix it for me', so if I can help in any way with testing this then do tell.

Hmm
Ok I'm currently uploading a condensed version with midnight option already put into it. As soon as mega is done I'll link it to ya as it's too big for LL unfortunately.

Okay and do you want me to follow the same steps as before or just give it a spin on Mo2?

Try installing normally, then if that doesn't work manually extract them

Okay, I tried normal install with mo2. No luck. Just tested the manual install with no luck as well. I feel like there has to be something else missing... is it supposed to overwrite yuriana wench mod and be overwritten by tawoba remastered? What's your recommendation?

It would only overwrite the textures, which is fine. Saying yes to all won't hurt anything. As long as it's at the bottom of the load order it should be ok. 

Have you tried starting a new game with this mod installed?   And then doing save/reload? As long as Faster HDT-SMP and Zaz 8.0+ CBBE 2023 are installed it should work fine. 
Is it immediately crashing when getting close to or placing a follower next to you? Or are you able to see if they have their "pretty" face or a durp face before crashing?
Sorry for all the questions just covering all areas.

Hmmm I'll wrack my brain on this and also ask around.
