Summe's Quintessential Guide to NSFW Stellaris - (3.9.1+)

[SummeDummkopf]

Welcome

Howdy I was recently starting to mod Stellaris again and after scrolling through the comment sections of many mods to see if they were up to date or not I thought to myself  wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a guide for NSFW Stellaris modding like the AAF Fucking Manual? Voila, the Quintessential Guide to NSFW Stellaris was born. I am not linked to any mod team and am doing this just cause in my free time, that being said I will try to keep this up-to-date. No promises though. ?‍♀️

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Basics

If you are already familiar with manually installing mods for Paradox games you can skip this. IF you are not familiar with it, to start off you want a program that is capable of uncompressing files or "unzipping" such as Winrar or 7zip. Both are free to use, I personally prefer Winrar but that is mainly down to being the first one I learned to use. Both are good. After you you download the mod you want to install there will be a zip file in your downloads folder most likely, just unzip the file by right clicking on it. You should get a mod folder and a .mod file. Next you want to navigate to your documents folder then Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/Mod. Copy/Move those files into there and boot up your launcher and enable them in a preset and you are good to go.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Outdated/Broken Mods

DO NOT INSTALL THESE MODS

 

 >Mods

 

• Stellaris Sexy Xenos and more (SSX) - Incompatible with literally almost every mod, avoid it. Unless this is the only mod you want. The portraits file works fine "sexyxenos_portraits". "sexysxenos traits and more" is what doesn't work.

 

• Sarah's Slightly Erotic Namelists (SSEN) - causes crash on startup. There is a fixed version with only one list rn though.  

        
>Sub-Mods

 

• WILD LASCIVITY - Big outdated, I mean it sort of works but you'll be better off without. Unless you feel like patching out the wazoo.

 

• All You Need Is Loving - Also big outdated.

 

• Mango's Lewd Diplomacy - Broken.

 

• Kinky Void - Sadly out of date, you can get it to sort of work if you work the fixes in the comments. The Lustful Void developer is currently working to integrate it into their mod. ?

 

>Portraits

 

• Hentai game portrait mod - Older than dirt.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------        

Compatible Mods

> Overhaul Mods

 

• Lustful Void - LV is THE lewd overhaul mod for Stellaris most mods are sub mods or meant to be used with it. It is sort of out of date but still works mostly. The mod author is working on merging Kinky Void into it, Lithia is halfway done so far.
   
• Colorful Galaxy - (SNUFF WARNING). This is another overhaul mod for Stellaris though it is a mainly Chinese mod and the English translation is shaky. Though it is still being actively updated. (12/7/22). It's okay.

 

> LV Sub Mods

 

•   LV Extras - It adds a bunch of crap to Lustful Void, check it out. It does work. Needs Gigstructural Engineering and by extension UI Overhaul Dynamic.

 

•   Tentaseed - Overhauls the process of terraforming a LV tentacle world. 

 

•   Family Oriented - It does too much to list here, check it out for yourself.

 

•   Lustful Void - Image Replacer - Replaces most images in Lustful Void, basically it makes the art style more unified.

 

•   Starchild's LV Expansion - It still works though there is one caveat, when you combine it with pop intensive mods that are not well optimized like ACOT the game can and will lag excessively every year until it crashes.

 

• Mango's Lewd Diplomacy - It'll take you to a post by Shirolog, the original version is outdated and no longer being updated. (Disclaimer - You do NOT need the LV Patch for it to work with LV. All that does is replace certain jobs from the mod with LV jobs. MLD is innately compatible with LV.)

 

> Portrait Mods

 

•   Tons of Tits - The mod author's version is broken, the link will take you to a comment on the mod a user uploaded his own version that works. You'll need to create a mod in the launcher and slap those files into the created mod folder or download the original mod and replace the files with Stronggater's version. Up to you.

 

•   Calcifire's Portrait Pack - is a set of hand-drawn portraits, it is fully up to date and requires Lustful Void.

 

•   Vanilla Framework - Replaces all vanilla portraits with lewd ones, requires all portrait DLCs, and is incompatible with a lot of other portrait mods.

 

•   Lewd Galaxy - It works with the current game version BUT it is incompatible with Lustful Void.

 

•   Robo-Boobs - Adds boobs to the standard robot portrait.
   
• Stable Elves - Adds in a bunch of AI-generated images that are elves. 

 

• Stable Lewds - Adds in a bunch of Hentai-themed portraits generated by Stable Diffusion.

 

• StellarDiffusion - More AI-generated Images.

 

• Fijis Lewd Loader - Has a crap ton of hentai images as a new species.

 

 

> Misc Mods

 

•   Lustful Void Loading Screens - adds in a bunch of NSFW loading screens.

 

•   Lood Diplomacy - It replaces diplomatic screen messages. (It is slightly out of date, but it does work, sort of.)

 

•   Titillating Text - Basically Lood Diplomacy though it is very out of date but they accomplish the same thing, it's just down to user preference. Choose only one.

 

•   Sexy Flags - Adds NSFW flag icons.

 

•   Erotic Name Lists - An updated version of Sarah's Slightly Erotic Name List (SSEN). It only has one name list so far.

 

> Nudity Patches

 

• Elves of Stellaris LV Patch + Nudity - a nudity patch for Elves of Stellaris, after downloading the mod files go to HilgusSilgus's comment and download his patch then replace the mod files with it.

 

 

 

• SE Restyled - a human portrait mod, I highly recommend it. It doesn't have full nudity in it unless you download SE Restyled Plus Plus. I also recommend you download LV patch, though you will be okay without it.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 

This is by no means a comprehensive list, though I personally think it is safe to say if it ain't on this list it is most likely outdated. If you would like anything changed or added just leave a comment.

ayo big thanks, basically stopped actually playing with the mods on here back with overlord cause nothing seemed to work. 

 

[Isangrad]

Thank you for the work you have done here. I was under the impression that Kinky Void was fully integrated into the current version of LV.

Yah yeet, quick update for Orion! Though nothing new was added, mind.

Np, it's halfway there according to the latest changelog.

Just a few more points that maybe could be added:

 

- LV Extras needs Gigastructural Engineering. While it does say so on the mods download page, maybe consider mentioning it here too, just for the sake of completeness (and therefore, by proxy, UI Overhaul Dynamic)

- Sexy Xenos itself still works perfectly fine, it's just the mods that come with it on the same download page that cause the game to crash. There are also compatibility patches for stuff like Vanilla Framework

- Colorful Galaxy needs a snuff warning. It doesn't say so anywhere (at least, not in a language I can read, idk about the Chinese Steam pages) and some of scenes are seemingly unavoidable. Just so that noone else has to abandon a game midway through because it got too annoying, please consider putting a warning in the post.

- SE Restyled has some exposed breasts for female humanoids if you install the Plusplus patch on this site.

- Starchild's LV Expansion still works and could maybe be included in the list, too, however, Stellaris' pop system is..... 'interesting in terms of performance' to say the least and when you combine the feminization policies/projects from this mods with enough other, less than optimized, pop-intensive mods (looking at you, ACOT), it can cause the game to lag excessively every year, up to the point where it just crashes. So while LV Expansion is probably worth being added to the list, a small warning alongside it would be appropriate.

- Stellaris wants to have two descriptor files and a lot of mods only come with one. So the procedure usually includes:

  - If it comes with the descriptor.mod, put the folder that it is contained in into your mod folder. Then copy said descriptor.mod, open it with notepad and add a line with 

path="path/to/where/folder/with/descriptormod/is/"

at the bottom.

  - If it comes with <mod_name>.mod, put that and the folder named <mod_name> that should be directly next to it into the mod folder. Then copy <mod_name>.mod, paste it into /<mod_name>, rename it to descriptor.mod and delete the line inside it that starts with path=

- Steamcmd is a useful tool for downloading steam mods to a place where they won't get automatically updated (Steam itself has no way to rollback workshop items, so if any of the mods get updated to a game version higher than what you wanna play, youre screwed otherwise). Just install it and set steamcmd/steamapps/workshop/content/281990 as Stellaris' mod folder. Then open it, type in "login anonymous" (without the quotes) and then "workshop_download_item 281990 <item_id_from_workshop_url>" ("workshop_download_item 281990 1121692237" for Gigas for example) for each mod you want.

Luckily, I've got an updated mod to her's right now! It's barebones with only one list, but it's a working one!

I added most of the suggestions

[SluttySnowcraft]

Oh neat, Robo-Boobs got on here!~

 

Now if only I could summon up the will to work on my lewd digsite and other half-baked horny mod projects I plan to compile as an alternative to Lustful Void.

[kikinak]

Man it's a shame so much stuff just doesn't work anymore. I especially miss SSX traits

[SluttySnowcraft]

As someone who gets very annoyed with LV's constant popup events, and general imbalance, yeah, I kinda wish some alternatives and old stuff would be revived.

[TNG]

I hate to ask this here, but are there any other NSFW modding sites with Stellaris content, like Lover's Lab?

 

I'm not interested in abandoning the site or anything like that. LL is great. I just don't know of any others outside of the Nexus (not really nsfw) and F95Zone (not great for mods).

 

So I'm not sure if LL is just the best one out there or the only decent one out there, or my knowledge is just very limited.

I agree, sadly it's much the same for nsfw CK3 mods aswell. 

[schroecat]

You should update the details about SSX to clearly identify that "sexyxenos_portraits" works fine, and the Vanilla Framework has a compatibility patch for it.  It's mostly the "sexyxenos traits and more" modh that is utterly broken and crashes games.

[Vtrx]

I have done patches in the SSX thread to get it up to running to current version. (At least there hasn't been any issues sense 3.4 that have been reported on beyond the load order crash?)

 

Honestly the annoying part about continued maintaining of that mod is I'm unable to change much about the mod due to it doing some pretty dirty overrides of default files that cause issues and trying to get the mod to perform similar to how it was when the original mod owner decided to take a break.

 

I've mostly been waiting on @Toronam to give permission for new ownership to someone else as it has left me unsure where I should post any updates to the mod beyond the original thread.

[SohCahToa]

Good list. Thanks for writing this.

 

LV additional things is another good mod but it’s not up to date at the moment. I don’t know if the author is working on an update but it’s probably still worth a mention in your list. 

[XMidnightX]

im pretty sure at current Colorful Galaxy is completely incompatible with Stellaris, unless there is some sort of trick to getting it to work.

It's marked as incompatible on Steam, but I'm using it in my current game and haven't run into any incompatibilities yet.  The English translation is far from complete, though.  I mostly get the gist of things by searching in the localization files for event IDs, and pasting the Chinese text into google translate.

[coldheartzero]

Colorful Galaxy works, but as mentioned the translation is,,, bad and incomplete.

 

Also, I think Steam recognizes that it shouldn't be posted but won't touch it because they don't want to be branded as racist by their Chinese over lords. (the reason for the incompatible tag)

Welp the mod got banned from steam (the pictures and text pack) and I didn't save it :c

[coldheartzero]

The mod is still available, the core part of it anyway. I've got all 3 parts downloaded I'll upload it to mega or something tomorrow. It's stupid late and I'm being screamed to come to bed.

Thank you very much!!

[indolu]

Shirolog is updating 'Mango's Lewd Diplomacy' in the comments, latest version is found here.

 

EDIT: he hasn't touched the patches, so compatibility is questionable. He did mention that it changes less vanilla stuff, but its till does to some extent.

[Sybian]

Hey, I'll ask here, any idea what I did to make the job placement buttons go away? They were working fine for awhile.
