Also just a note: I have never tried them, but I think the reason Aylis stated they dropped the O type mods in favor of SL was not because they didn't work, but because there were so many updates that it became a lot of extra work to maintain.

 

OMG THANK YOU.

 

I remember both being on Aylis list with the Ostim line of mods being recommended, but you are probably right the way it was changing likely is what caused her to remove them with the idea she'd come back to them later when things were more stable. A lot of the premise of this modlist is stability, after all.

For me:  Aroused Creatures - main setting area of MCM.  Allow all armors in the armor section.  Then whatever you are wearing, set it as naked.  Adjust the percentage at the bottom of that section to 67% or close.  Lower if you want to stop every 10 minutes in the wild.  (teasing)  Supposed to be a setting if you have no armor on.  Tricks the mod into thinking you are naked.  Can screen shot after work.  I have a lengthy session today but at home around 3/4pm Pacific.  These settings will shoot up arousal in creatures.  I set base arousal needed around 51 for the PC.  But then set only creature needed.  Just a fallback.  I used to have that More Aroused Creatures mod. (not sure of the name) Adds horses and dogs to every city.  Couldn't play at all.  One interaction after another.  This provides a nice balance for me.  Regarding pics, any mod you want.  Sexy Adventures when you are ready.  It can be all over the map in terms of how you want to use it.  Just ask.  Send AC today.

 

Arousal mod.  Hmmm.  Maybe.  I'm currently using Baka's.  I'm about to switch to OSL Aroused for the test.  I suppose we will see.  Even Baka says both will work for his mods.  Side note:  His mods are really the only ones that respect another mods activation and waits.  Actually impressive to see.  Babo Dialogue force greet event - raper standing with weapon out while me and my sweety were having personal time or when a creature is having his way with me.  Attacks or forcegreets immediately after though.  I have fought naked more than once.  

 

Side note about an ND feature.  Not exclusive but I love the strip on hit feature.  I have around 8-10 armor points on me when I play.  Mostly because the armor pieces have low armor value the skimpier they are.  I just reduce # of pieces the stronger I get to compensate.  My main thing is the armored jewelry from an H2135 mod (piercings) and 6-7 outfit pieces.  During a fight, I get whittled down to almost no clothing.  Makes it sexy and challenging.  Option to set to strip and - drop, steal, or unequip.  I just  unequip although BDialogue will take your armor if hit by a stripper sword.  Even had a BD beast strip my follower.  I give my follower 3 smithed slot 32 armors.  Just in case.  Different ones of course.  And if stripped, she loads from her inventory immediately.  How I now she was stripped.  New outfit.

Now I want to see those settings of Aroused Creature of yours. I´m quite intrigued.

I remember seeing that comment.  And she was 100% truthful.  There are many versions out there right now.  I will be using a very specific version that is the latest and in my opinion - well supported.  No drama comments as other versions are still there and I think maintained.  I will reply or refer to the best site to learn yourself why this one is the one I will test.  This one will not be lost to time like other versions.  There is a commitment to maintain it and improve it by more than a few people.

Mod list and plugin list.  Mod list is in reverse order.  What it had in the M02 file.  Will not see the NPC replacers as they are disabled due to the patch.  

modlist.txt plugins.txt

 

NOTE:  It shows I have all of the CC mods but I only activate a few using Aylis method.  See the plugin list.

Force greet. First one is Babo Dialogue.  2nd is Sexy Adventures.  Just finished fighting Draugrs and he ran up from nearby camp.

[Guest]

Aroused Creatures.  Will need to set a cooldown if you have More Creatures added to towns or run accross a wolf den.  If not, will have 6-10 or more interactions.  Why I dropped the more creatures in town mods.  Can be endless.

Maxed queued creatures.  Adjust.  If not, as soon as you enter an animation, another is already queued.  Arousal will bring more to wait their turn.  You can draw a weapon sometimes to stop the que or I just walk away, anim, walk, anim till they give up.  Rather have it than not have it. For me.

[Guest]

Don't allow dungeons for AC.  Sexlab Pheremones will chase you everywhere except in a walled city or structure.  Have to disable if it's a tough fight.  They simply don't stop.  (fun)  2 trolls at once is erotic.  4 skeevers is gross but I get into it.  Dragons work too but for SP.  Disable all the MNC animations though. Junk.  I just use the 3 Billy dragon anims.  One will fill  you up completely with one event.   Waddle your way home time.

[Guest]

I skip the filtering and let it pick and don't restrict hostile creatures either.  Tricky as they will engage but a follower may attack even though the creature is approaching for fun.  Can stop anims with weapons out but I don't.

[Guest]

Most critical in my experience is this section.  The armor.  If you want to trick the settings.  I set the arousal here.  Rarely do creatures engage NPCs.  I prefer it that way but will happen if you walk by and then get engaged elsewhere, the creature you passed may engage another NPC.  Probably not needed but I set it anyway.  

 

Main settings of all for me:   Armor and Clothing section.  Allow all types.  Notice the equipped armor section.  I am naked and forgot to dress before taking the screnshot.  Normally the slot 32 armor will show here.  You can define it as heavy, light, etc.  I set it as NAKED.  Then set the Naked Arousal modifer as is.  Play with this to find what you like.  I think higher is less impact on creature arousal, lower is greater arousal.  

 

Main thing for me about wild creature engagements.  Have to be friendly or normally be friendly based on One With Nature.  Walk by them, if you run, you will get out of range.  If you want interaction.  It is so random sometimes it is really immersive to me.  I loot a wolf's den, nothing for a minute and then action.  Or not.  Hit your N key to check arousal of any creature.   Schlongies out tells you they are ready to jump  you.  So many scripts running usually so never know why sometimes.  Hear a bear thundering behind  you, get knocked down and bam.  Sometimes nothing.  Dogs in Inns will nail you multiple times while you are there.  Horses near stables if you linger.  Remember the script thing.  Other things are going on.  

 

 Why I like Sexlab Pheremones.  They will spawn and chase you down.  Can be any type of creature - up to you.

Took this yesterday.  I have a wonderful playthrough going but a Dyndolod issue I am tracking down.  This is in the middle of winter and should be snow.  The seasonal lod did not load.  I hid the reload key and it was winter as it should be.  Modder friend helped me identify one problem so Me and Remi will have to part on Thursday to re-run Texgen and Dyndolod using Dyndolod NG.  Then the Ostim mods. 

 

Truly I am Ms. Amateur here. 

 

I wanted to thank everyone for being so nice.  I am a passive person who enjoys this game and everyone's kindness and willingness to help has been wonderful. Starting with Aylis of course.  Hope some of the information is helpful.

 

EDIT:  Please forgive my vanity.  I apologize all the time for upsizing my PC.  (D-cup here) but it feels appropriate to play the slutty character.  (embarassed but I'm sure I've said it before. )

@Miss Tee

 

Thanks for posting the mod list... I've been going through it to pick out some stuff (primarily anims so far) to see what I don't have. Some of them sadly have generic names but most I think I'll be able to track down.

 

Also your character looks quite nice and there's no need to apologize. I watch lots of Korean Skyrim streamers and they really, REALLY love their girls big eehehe!

Most all of the unnamed animations are Gunslicers.  Either from Nexus or her Patreon.

Truly I am Ms. Amateur here.  I guess the guys on the sites I visit like to help me as they know my occupation and 50 somethings like to talk to me about my work.  Shameless I know but we have mostly become actual modding friends.  I didn't know who AC/DC was and got teased last week but it is all in fun.

We're all modding so we can play the games the way we'd like to play them.  Enjoy your events, scenery, and character build how YOU'd like to have them.  No shame, live it up.  :)

I figured that out hehe after searching a couple which did have the name. Now I'm pouring through this messy Patreon to see if anything looks interesting while of course having no idea what any of the animations might look like!

 

I noticed Gunslicer has a bunch of SLAL animations too but again... who the heck knows what these are like.

I've been looking as mods out there and recently I stumbled upon something called Nolvus. Has anyone tried using their mod installation process and just adding SL mods ontop of it? It seems to be largely the same to this one with a similar focus on immersion and upscales, hence I am wondering if it would be more stable.

I actually did stumble onto Nolvus somewhat recently (might have been around the end of last year) and looked into it thinking the same thing as you. The reason I didn't go forward with trying it is that Nolvus actually has it's own installer that then sets up everything, and I worried I'd go through all that and find out at the end I couldn't easily modify the game afterward.

 

I have trouble messing with Collections in Vortex, so it seemed a safe bet I shouldn't try with this auto-installer I know nothing about and which probably drops mods straight into the game folder.

I use both of here SLAL packs.  They are small but nice quality.  Many poses are included in the human pack.  I would stay away from her sleeping animations.  They are very well done but buggy and she hinted they won't be updated.

For me, I tried that pathway with another mod pack.  Adding SL mods and a few quality of life mods like Add Item Menu.  Tremendous failure and wasted time.  Again for me.  I read on many of these packs now that adding mods is not supported either in the comments or right up front on the mod page.  I thought I saw that on the Nolvus comments.  Not sure.  It sure is tempting though.

 

EDIT:  One reason adding mods won't work well is the customized patching that some packs include.  Adding mods to them creates an issue somehow.  Probably priority and load order changes.  The mod pages and comments should answer that question.

OSTIM Discussion:  Modpacks

 

Want to discuss the difference between an Ostim mod pack and a Sexlab (SLAL) modpack. 

 

When you add an SLAL animation pack for Sexlab, you have loaded preset animation groups.  When an animation is called for, a certain sexlab animation group will start based on your settings.  FF, MF, MFF, etc.  The animation will have stages and perhaps idles that will play in a defined sequence and stop after the sequence is complete.  It works well and with a proper setup, you can change the animation group to something  you prefer.

 

When you load an Ostim animation pack, all of the individual stages are separate and not tied to each other.  You choose a starting position, (standing, kneeling, etc.).  You then select an animation start (kissing, fingering, holding, etc.)  and select what happens next.  Can then back up to the previous stage and select another idle, activity, etc.  or continue.

 

You decide what happens and when to finish.  Why many like Ostim for the emotional connection, whether that is domination or intimacy.  

 

Is there an automated option?  YES.  No need to go through the selection process.  So more like Sexlab.

 

Attached is an illustration of the Ostim options for a modpack.  This is for FF.  Some of the options need a specific starting position as you can see.  

 

You may think it is way too complicated.  Perhaps.  Once you become familiar with using the keypad to navigate through the animations, I think you will  be surprised how it impacts  you.  More like a real human interaction.  "I want to touch, I want to kiss, I want to ...."  You are actually involved.  Not just a spectator.  What it feels like to me anyway.  

 

Even if all you did was use the automatic setting, the animations from Moon will far surpass what Sexlab has.  The movements between positions (transitions) are so real.  No instant swap, no jumping between positions.  Much more realistic movement.

if someone gets nolvus + mod organize/vortex to then load SL/other, then the concern I have is the system may have to deal with updates of skyrim + updates of nolvus + any mod updates. If you get a setup working, then lock it down + archive/backup.

Thank you and you may know the answer to this question.  M02 question.  I have a stable game.  Would prefer not to modify it for the Ostim test with all the disabling, adding that will occur.   I hear you can create another version of your game and keep the original intact.  "Instance" or something.  If you know of a tutorial how to do this, please direct me to it.  I'm afraid it would need to be somewhat detailed for me to follow.  T

[Ashra XIII]

Just thought I'd throw a nice screeny I took of my current character. I started over to try Naked Defeat and some of the other stuff that's been suggested here. 

 

Still on the fence about ND as it takes soooo long to start a scene. Really nice when it does though.

OH yeah you can create a new instance at the top.... the icon that looks like an ID card (4th from the left). Just go in there and make a copy of the 'Profile' you are using, then switch to that in the area just below the icons. Now you can add/remove mods without affecting your main profile, but just keep in mind that if you run Wrye Bash, you'll have to either re-run it again when you switch back to your main profile or keep a separate mod with the bashed patch in it. That's usually the only hang-up switching between profiles.

SCARED - I did it.  I was so worried I would ruin what I have.  THANK YOU THANK YOU
