Commonwealth Slavers

[Umbopo65]

Hey JB, sorry, it is most likely somewhere obvious but I cannot find the SetStage promts for the VIP quest.  I just finished it and have to talk to Lindstrom and it keeps saying 'This individual is busy'; just want to give it a nudge to the next quest.  I used the code to kick off 'The Hooker' but just wasn't sure if there was meant to be another VIP. Thanks mate.

 

ps. That crawling animation was very good and the best I have seen in LL.  very humiliating for the PC.  Kudos on the whole VIP component.

While I'm on the keyboard, A suggestion for the mod.  As an alternative path for the 'runaway slave' quest, the PC actually gets the collar off and gets away, goes to Concord and starts the vanilla game, works on Sanctuary, searches for Valentine etc...BUT, everytime she loses a fight and is captured by Raiders, Gunners or Triggermen (possibly even a CS generated Bounty Hunter), there is percentage chance (variable in MCM?) she is recognised and sold back to Jared. He, of course, does a worse version of the Overboss's Slut walk and then throws the PC into the Whore Room and the CS story picks up where it left off after having the sweet freedom cruelly snatched away.  Not sure if that's desirable or do-able, but it would certainly make combat a real high stakes game for a while. Obviously people would need a mod with a combat surrender element etc.
This is not to infer that there is anything lacking in this mod, this is my third playthrough and it is an outstanding effort.

Bro- I have a hard enough time getting my brain to do modding as in applying mods to my game. I do not have the brainpower to work with actual modding.
Although, I would consider paying for someone to create/alter this mod into such a mod... 🤔

Price and polish being considerations...

Like your train of thought...But, after the abuse suffered at the hands of the Raiders, who would sign up to go to Nuka Town, be surrounded by Raiders, to work as a Pornstar.  They do have a Shelf Life you know, after all the "Use" she had in the Commonwealth, would Corsican even hire her, would Mason just feed her to his dogs???

Sorry it just doesn't sing.

My personal feelings are disconnect the two, remove the cheat associating the fact you made it through CS when in NR, remove the slave dialogue and let them be two ends of the spectrum as they are already.

NR though sometimes harsh is Loving, light hearted, while CS is a dark tunnel with little to no light at the end. 

I know you already knew this, sorry for rambling....

 

True true- that does require some narrative-handwaving for sure... Hm.

But alongside the mentioned raider-crusade reason for a post-CS Cait to go to Nuka-World.
A possible reason for her to do NW-NR after all she's been through with the faction is to kinda go undercover and ingratiate herself into the proper raider structure as finally not-a-slave to eventually take them down from the inside. Or (try to) be a hero long enough to become the villain, betray everything, and decide to take over the raiders as overboss (ala vanilla NW) as revenge against this world that wronged you. Or maybe do a "there are secret heroes like Gristle amongst the all raider assholes- maybe I can reform the raider faction, if I only I was leader-"

 

My gameplay plan is to do the above, I think- until I get to the Institute then come to the conclusion that this underground 'utopia' is the only hope for a better life for me, and maybe for the world as a whole if I/you/Cait still cares about that hoity-toity, like screw the synths/talking blenders and all the stuff the Institute apparently did, I have a chance at a civilized, safe, and clean life here. Finally- after all I've been through.

I tried out Combat Zone Restored a couple of years ago. It works, but...

• Corpses don't get removed after winning a fight, so the longer you stay there, the more bodies pile up. It can get hilarious if you don't leave for a few hours because NPC fighters will be grabbing better weapons off the corpses.
• The elevators that carry you up into the arena can break. It doesn't happen very often, but reloading the cell seems to fix it.
• Your opponents might not get on the lift before the fight starts, or get stuck on something on the way to the lift. This is also fairly rare.

I remember it being a pretty fun place to hang out. You can bet on the fights, or enter the fight yourself. The betting is fairly low, the winnings from fighting in the arena isn't awesome, but mix in whoring and drug dealing and it might get interesting. The downstairs area is pretty big, and has a couple of dressing rooms for the fighters with mattresses. Cait will set up in one after you have her join you, then dismiss her, but don't send her to a settlement by tabbing out.

 

It would probably be a really cool place to hang out during Pet Walk if everything worked without serious patching. I may have to try that out; my current game is getting kind of boring.

Did you also try it with the patch (restored restored) ? looks like another mod that will require hours of fixing. Probably better to try it after finishing CS at least once.

I did. I don't remember playing with that patch, but I apparently downloaded and played it at the same time as CZR. I'm currently finishing up my 7th or 8th run of Slavers, so I'll probably reinstall this weekend. If CZR + CZR+R works with CS, I'll let you guys know about it.

Also it has to be in a Last Load or the walls, floor, ceiling go wonky.

I have both of the mentioned mods installed, but I am not playing NR or CS right now.

Until you run across the search I did speculating that the Institute had created Synth Nora since Nora actually did not make it through Stasis and died in the pod.

If you have PRP installed or any mod editing same cells as CZ then yes.

@JB. is going to hire assassins to fucking kill me.

I've been reading all the posts in this thread from the last month or so, and saw all that stuff about a workshop being added to the whore house, and then it being removed because it didn't work...

 

What if the CS Raiders turned Home Plate into a whore house? It's already a location with a workshop, so the player could build whatever they wanted as long as various "key pieces of furniture" were available. Maybe set it up sort of like BBLS from Skyrim; NPC (clones?) from Diamond City (and maybe elsewhere) would visit on a schedule, so the player wouldn't have to run around the city. The prostitution quest would work exactly the same, except instead of fucking in a dirty greenhouse you'd be fucking in a semi-reputable establishment that the player designed (with Gristle's oversight).

 

I should stop typing now.

Well you are not really considered some high class escort. You are a slave they could not care less where you get banged as long as the caps come in.

No PRP, it caused me too many issues.  Nothing changing CZ, it is vanilla and walls, floors, ceiling took turns being invisible.

from the sounds of it you are in the speakeasy (where Gristle and Murphy teleport you) and have finished your "talk" with Gristle, went upstairs

and Murphy and Gristle had a conversation, then Murphy says he is going to have sex with you.  if that is where you are the scene will not play

until you respond to Murphy (dialogue) so you may have to wiggle the camera around to get the dialogue visible (might even have to change

view mode).  iirc there are 4 responses (2 with ? marks that are just information and 2 choices) and you have to make a choice.

 

anytime one of them says something is going to happen and it seems to be stalled what i would suggest is to swap view modes (you can swap back)

then wiggle the camera around to see if you see a dialogue choice you have to make.

 

 

iirc there are 4 endings to the mod

 

1 - you have enabled death ending and die.

2- you choose to stay a slave foreever

3 - you get released outside Vault 111.

4 - "true ending"

 

options 1 and 2 basically means play it again from a save before making that choice to get your freedom.

 

option 3 will let you "destroy" the Whore House, but i an not sure if you get to "deal with" any of the named characters (just do not remember)

my personal head canon for this option is anyone i do not get to deal with personally either fled or will never admit to anything they saw/did

while you were a slave (probably due to possible repercussions).

 

to get option 4 you must choose to help Gristle destroy the slavery ring (not stay a slave, and not have him take you to Vault 111 and release you).

in option 4 you will either make a choice or see what happens to Becker, Gristle, Jared, Murphy, Lindstrom, Declan, the 3 Bomb Brothers, and possibly

others that i forget offhand.

 

hope the information helps.

 

Thank you, this did the trick, im sorry for being such a burden asking for all this and what not, now my last and hopefully final problem is that whenever i try and load into a scene it just keeps me in the loading screen and nothing happens, so then im stuck in an infinite loading screen, this usually happens with any kind of scene though, even outside of CS

Follow the Fucking Manual and get your adult mods in order. It sounds like you're missing the requested animations.

Hi JB, I launched .The Hooker' and have just returned to the WH and Lindstrom is still too busy for me.  I now have the whore house, VIP and the Hooker all waiting for me to talk to Lindstrom.  I tried teleporting him to me behind the bar but no use.  If anyone knows what the solution is I would appreciate it.  In the mean while I'll go back a few quests and see if that helps, but you know the definition of madness...

The quest is probably bugged, your best bet is to load a previous save and hope the bug won't happen again (preferably a save before you took the Hooker quest). The mod itself is work in progress so there can be many random bugs, best to save and save often.

Yeah something went wrong in your game, you shouldn't be able to stack quests like that. Only one running mission at a time. Never happened to me so i don't know how you managed to do that.

ok as izzyknows said this is an animation issue.  if the following the manual does not fix it you can join the AAF Discord for further help with that.

 

personal opinion incoming

as far as i can tell you are new(ish) to FO4 modding and have been polite when asking for help so i have no problems helping (doubt i ever will).

the way i was raised was the only dumb question was the one you did not ask if you do not know the answer.  if you ever have a question you want

to ask me and do not want to ask it directly in the forum you can always send me a DM and i will respond (even if it is just to say i do not know).

most of the knowledge i have was learned through two methods - trial and error, and asking questions.  i would personally rather someone tell

me i asked a "dumb question" than not learn, so i try not to be critical (i am human so i do not always succeed).

end personal opinion

 

hope you continue to play and enjoy gaming.

Thanks guys, thing is I played through the whole thing virtually bug free a couple of weeks ago and now downloaded the updated version.  I started a new game and all is good until the cosmetic surgery, I started again from 'Pest Control' and all is fine up until I get back from the cosmetic surgery and Lindstrom just stops talking, I do the VIP and he still isn't talking.  The load order and mod list hasn't changed since last playthrough. Weird.   I might restart when I'm ready but in the mean while I might check out the changes to NR. 

Thanks for taking the time to reply though.

I am not saying you did this...Sometimes users get in too big a hurry and they don't say goodbye to the client, finish the last bit of dialogue, etc. that triggers the next set of dialogue. Be sure to follow the directions in the PB and on / in the pop-ups.

It happens more often than not.

Ah oki headsup. This is an old problem that creeps up now and then. Nothing is broken. Look at your quest log. Look for quests that you have completed. Then check their stages. I get this a lot. It happens right after the fighter and pet walk most the time. What happpens is one of the quest don't complete even if you did. So it will be stuck at the wrong stage and lindstrom will give you a new quest and that quest will not activate. And then lindstom will not talk to you. Now this is fixable but you will have to find the quest that is stuck. In my case I get it alot on the quest just before the porn quest. So what you will have to do is check the stages. That is pretty easy to do. Go to page 1 on the forum and check the link with the quest stages at the bottom. Now ingame check the quests you have completed. For example lets say the fighter got stuck. You would use "getstage _cs_fight" If it say anything but 0 then that is the quest that is stuck. All you do then is setstage _cs_fight 1000 or whatever the quest end number is on that list. It should complete the quest and you will be able to get the next one. Just one thing try and load a save before asking lindstrom for the next quest. Otherwise it sometimes does not work.

Osculim, thank you for the follow up.  So I put in SetStage _CS_Fight and each of the previous stages one at a time, and no numbers appear after each one but it does say 'missing parameter stage' which seems normal and 'compiled script not saved' ?  I must be fluffing this up somewhere, but I do appreciate the time you spent to help.  I am wondering if the cosmetic surgery might be an issue, I can see no setstage codes for it.  There was meant to be a pillow in the cell but it was not there so I used my sleeping bag from camping, so as to complete that 'quest' not sure if that is the cause.
