Fellas, sorry to arrive late at the party, but is just me that the game crashes to desktop everytime I enter embershard mine? I know it must be a conflict bettween this mod and Buxom Yuriana, does anyone know a fix for this?

One thing I can suggest is to load Yuriana before maidens of darkness, I just tried to enter embershard on a new game with both mods on their latest versions and had no issues, as far as I know there is no compatibility problem with Yuriana.

Then is a problem only on my end then, because yes Uriana is being loaded before, but the crash happens anyway. Are you using the "beta version" of Yuriana? The 2.0?

Oh crap. When I switched from nem to pan same shit happened to me there. I hope moving the load helps . Have you played lauched with pandora at all yet. I had a heck of a time switching i had do a clean install of skyrim to get it working.

I actually had no issues switching from Nemesis to Pandora, y game runs great, both in new and old games...
As for the latest MoD update, it crashed on both Nemesis and Pandora. I tried changing the load order, but unfortunately, it didn't improve anything.😢

make sure youre using the correct version of all the mods required by this mod, weve had ppl figure out that something was out of date.  make sure your zaz is the correct version too.

 

and like the troubleshooting says you may have had issues with textures not installing properly and may need to redownload the mod (recommend the link titled file its a mediafire link, MEGA links in my experience are sometimes hit and miss with downloading correctly)

Turns out I didn't had Zaz 8 as I thought I did, I had Zaz 7... now everything works fine.

This was one of the cases that I simply didn't payed attention to what I was reading, if I didn, nothing of this would have happened. Regardless, I appreciate your patience my dear Sir, and I bid you farewell, for I must return to my gooning ativities.

[Angahran]

I noticed there is a 'Captured Maidens' folder under 'Sonja'? Is this correct.

[Wolfen09]

also ive noticed some enemy maidens still in places that have captured gals removed.  valtheim and white river watch come to mind

Just found this wonderful mod, thank you @RowdyD1313!  I had a feeling you had done other amazing work, and I've def seen your name somewhere before (besides the Koz discord lol). 

Atm I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue, which I've had before with other mods as well.  When I start a scene with ostim or P+ Veronica, one of the captured maidens has her head texture change to darker.  I don't know if this is related to the mention of "neckseams". 

 

So far this was only with this one follower, and I noticed she was a redguard.  Only bring this up because I had another redguard follower who had this issue, which I fixed by replacing the textures with it.  For a visual comparison:

 

Spoiler

 

Its not a big deal I can do a bit of digging to see what's causing the issue.  The odd part is if I reload a save it will fix the head lol.

I noticed some of your followers have custom mesh/tex.  Are all of your followers standalone asset wise or are some just using the vanilla mesh/textures?

I'm having a bit of an issue. When I am in the location near guldan rock that has belladona in it, when I go through the loading zone in the cave section I get stuck on the loading screen. What might be causing that issue?

The cave section of Val Gorthia isn't finished. I blocked the main entrance but forgot the side one. It's best to ignore it for now. In the next hot fix I'm gonna lock the door and block the side path till it's ready. My Bad.

 

As long as Belladonna and Seriel are rescued, thats all there is in Val G at the moment. Though it will become a dungeon hub that the player will have to return to time and again in the quests.

Bro, just cruious, could you please share the mods you are using? Like insane amazing quality

So this is a modified version of Nolvus I'm using, which is pushing like 3-4k mods lol.  If you want any specifics I can try to point you in the right direction.  Just note my game is really maxed out graphically.  Like 4k resolution+enb+reshade.

[Silvist]

LOL I'm so blind, I couldn't find Pete's cave, so I went around gathering all the other maidens I could find.  By the time I finally found Pete's cave my maiden team obliterated him, like a random trash skeever.  So far the most insane fight I had to do was in broken fang cave I think it was. 

Due to the modlist i'm running, and difficulty the maiden boss there took me hours to finally kill.  Forgot the name but it was one of the undead ones.  Not sure if you designed it like this, but randomly during this fight I had one of the most epic boss battle themes kick in, was an experience to remember lol.  Thanks again for all the hard work on the mod!  

I'm an old modder myself, who came back after like 10+ years of being away from the modding scene.  If you ever need any help with stuff, I'm always down.  I heard you were working on perhaps a castle for the maiden's, that shit would be epic.  Maybe to fit your theme of "Maidens of Darkness", you could make it similar to Castle Volkihar.  I feel like it will need a really really wide courtyard though, to fit all the thicc maidens 😂

Hi Everyone hope all is good with ya, i have a special request. My whole set up on skyrim is BHUNP (All clothes,Bodies),
can you plz give an option for BHUNP when installing this awsome mod.

[Silvist]

Okay this is an odd one, Sonja isn't giving me the ability to recruit her.  I'm running NFF for followers, and used force follower/marriage in order to make sure the affinity is maxed as well.  Is this a known issue?

 

Spoiler

Edit:  Looks like it was probably an issue on my end, I was able to force her to be added via the command followers command lol.

Bhunp is nice. At the moment I don't have any plans for the body type. Not sure if all the armors I use for the mod are converted to it. 🤔

A couple people have reported the same issue, along with those that say she works just fine. Not sure, she's setup like everyone else so I'm leaning that there's something out there that's affecting her for some reason. Hopefully when I move her this will be resolved. As for Veronica and Ostim, that's a weird one. A lot of times if the Followers look is remade it'll work just fine. I think she might still be using her original look/preset. So I might have to tweak her - I actually enjoy this as it gives an excuse to work on them. 😁

The last time I had this much fun collecting followers was with the OG Buxom Wench lol.  Went through 3 lists so far, doing Roxie's list now lol.  

As for ostim, hard to say because I'm daring enough to run both P+ and ostim together inside of the giga Nolvus list lol.  So basically I expect to run into issues.

Yeah Yuriana was my inspiration. I've always had a thing for Cheesecake fantasy, saving a buxom damsel in a sword and sorcery world lol.
I'm also on discord along with Wolfen09, Hit me up with friend request if you're interested. Handle's the same as it is here: RowdyD1313

Interesting I haven't really been active there at all.  I think I only asked a couple questions a while back.  I did at one point sub to Koz because I was really hoping he'd be making more content.  Sadly I think it was during one of the periods where he wasn't very active, but I still wanted to show my support (this was like a couple years back).

Skyrim modding was quite a bit for me to get back into, especially relearning old things lol.  Now that "modlists" are pretty standard, I had to figure out mo2 and wabbajack.  This is coming from a time where I did my own modlist, with just loose files lol.

I actually spent alot of time with Oblivion remastered modding scene, once the game dropped.  Hopping to see it go places.  So I spent a bit of time dabbling with UE5 dev kit.

I've typically stayed away from publicly releasing any mods I make, due to some very bad past experiences (aka someone stole my work off LL and uploaded it to the Nexus, back when rules were not really in place).  Users don't really understand how much effort/time modders put into their work, regardless if it seems nominal.

Cheesecake, as in cheesecake armor? lol.  And yea that used to be a good troupe back when it was at its peak.  Nothing sadly really comes close to Skyrim with that as well, even Conan exiles.  Sent the request. 👍

yeah were last active in 2024 while koz was still working on his huge update to the beta (took 1.75 years).  which he scaled back a bit but released 2 weeks ago.  it has its bugs but its core is completely changed.  keep an eye on nexus for updates as hes added the 2.0 beta but its not quite stable yet

I have no doubt he's been busy.  I saw he also was working on something for FO4 for Yuriana.  I did grab the 2.0, but I was really hoping he upgraded the heads to high poly.  Its really hard to go back to normal head meshes, after you've gotten used to the hph.  Mainly due to the facial expressions.  So for me I went to start the Yuriana quest, and was like "oh darn still aren't at that point.".  Only reason I assumed otherwise is Immersive Wenches all have hph now.

I did briefly read that now the curse is actually detrimental than just providing buffs; aka two sided.  I'm totally fine with that being that's a curse to begin with.  My biggest draw to the mod was the fact I went in expecting busty wenches, and got an actual in lore story lol.  So I've been waiting for him to continue it since we saw the final cutscene in the original.

First off Great Mod, I enjoy hunting down all the Maidens old and new. Been following this mod for a while and while new maidens are always a plus every one has their opinion and so I come to mine. Would it be possible to have an option in the Fomod to change skin tones for some if not all maidens in the Future. I don't know if its my settings or the lighting mods I have installed or maybe my ENB but a lot of them have darker skin tones . I remember in previous versions there was an option to change calia's skin tone if I'm remembering it right but there wasn't in the latest release. 

 

Looking forward to more Maidens. 👍

Hi, some of the armors are doing this i have tried to rebuild the armors with the original mods and replace the files but that doesn't fix it, i don't know what to do. it happens regardless of who wears it and only with some of armors from this mod, the rest work fine.

 

I use 3ba and nothing is overwriting the files from this mod.
