Devious Interests

[NoNickNeeded]

I'm a little confused by the currently available files.

There is version 0926a and a 0926 SE patch, without a in the filename.

Should I get both files with the SE patch overriding the other one, despite it being slightly behind in numbering?

Struggle animations do play during certain events, but I'm fairly sure events from my mod don't play that often! Post a log and we might know if DIN is the culprit or not.

 

Also, do you happen to have some OAR idle replacer that makes the character play a struggle animation, by chance?

Which events play those animations?

That's actually kind of amazing. You are getting the animations because you are always "winning" the roll to start these events, but they never go into cooldown???? That's mostly on me because I need to put in more safeguards, but do tell me what values you have set for your Arousal Threshold, Arousal Multiplier and Max Number of Restraints Worn options, as well as the Self Bondage, Masturbation, Stripping and Free Use cooldown timers!

I have lowered the bondage addiction increase to 0.3, but I haven't touched any other values. Right now I have disabled masturbation and self-bondage and am able to continue playing, the character will still crouch and wiggle when not walking, but the struggle animation that has to play out before I can move again no longer starts. I think the remaining wriggling is just an iddle animation for when there's an arm binder is equipped. I wish I knew what animation it is so I could disable it, it looks awkward when it just plays over and over when I just want the character to stand still.

Would it be at all possible to add some sort of option so that free use events can only occur when wearing a DD device? Perhaps just a heavy bondage item?

That's sort of what I was thinking, I think it adds a lot to the dynamic of objectifying the character, but that's totally just an opinion. If you check Bane's version of Sexlab Defeat, I believe he has an option set up in it that allows you to choose whether the NPC steals your armor, clothes, or gold in the MCM. I don't know if that's one of the, "I can steal the code" from him or not. Attaching the link below.

I'm aware of the functionality you mention. While I'm still not 100% sold on the armor theft, I think I'm confident in adding a consumable/minor item theft event to the currently existing events!

0.926a needs to be overwritten with the SE patch when playing on Skyrim SE.

I didn't upload a new one because nothing changed in it when going from 0.926 - to 0.926a.

Self-bondage and a masturbation event where the player's hands are bound.

It is possible, but I don't think I'm going to do that. I'd like to keep the config menu simple and smart, and that's a bit too much conditionals. Plus until DDNG is adopted into the mainstream and DIN moves to support it explicitly, that will reduce the number of available animations and applicable situations greatly.

 

The current implementation already takes bound players into accounts, and gives a pretty substantial bonus chance for a Free Use attempt to succeed.

Little FYI for those who use OSL Aroused alongside DIN - be sure to update it to the newest version, I believe it should fix the "Free Use" mechanics triggering super-rarely:

 

Version 2.6.0
    Arousal for Nearby Actors automatically updates.

That's great Thank you for listening to my suggestion I appreciate it greatly! This really is my ride or die mod on my load order so it means a lot to me!

If I may ask one more question? Is there any way this mod could apply to your followers as well? I'm sure you've already considered it if it's possible. But I think there's something very appealing about seeing someone come up and gag Lydia or someone else suddenly.

But if I'm guessing correctly, it would probably be an insane amount of work?

Thanks again for listening

Basic follower support is simple enough, just off the top of my head, I'm thinking something of a "one-stop shop" toggle, which is when turned on, makes all the events that affect the player apply to the follower as well. So if the player gets restrained as a dialogue event outcome, your follower will get a restraint equipped as well. If the player is fucked as an event outcome, the follower will be part of the sex scene as well. How does that sound?

 

I guess I should mention that I'm almost never using followers in my game, so I don't want to deal with any custom follower frameworks, but supporting the base game follower system is quite easy.

I love the idea, cause I use followers pretty heavily, IF it's not too much work for you  I hate asking for things because I don't possess the ability or the knowledge to contribute . I wish I had some way I could contribute. This is LEGIT the only mod I comment on because it's so f'ing good.  XD

For some reason I'm not getting any dialogue options to ask for help removing restraints. Including guards and blacksmiths, the dialogue options are simply not there.

The first order of business would be to check if "restraint unlock help" is enabled in the config menu?

Yes. Dialogue seems to show up very intermittently. No issues on a previous playthrough, a few mods were changed, might be a conflict.

Dunno what else it might be tangling with.

One thing to try is to move DIN closer to the bottom of the load order, to load after anything else that might interfere.

 

Also keep that in mind that if you have asked an NPC for help with restraints, they'll be unavailable to be asked again until some time later. That's by design.

Is there any way to make free use have only male assaulters?

Not without addig a check for it on code level.

That could be a great addition if Im allowed to ask)

What does "days since last orgasm" actually do?

Both in DI and in SLA. I could never understand how it works and there are so many versions or SLA that I don't even now where to ask. For the record, I'm using SLAX-ASA3, which does have a setting for it, been using it for a while, but how is that suppose to function remains a mystery.

Tracks the ingame days since the player's last orgasm. Afaik it's in all SLA-derivatives that are backwards compatible with earlier versions?

 

In Devious Interests, if you toggle the option, some events (Masturbation, Self Bondage, Stripping) will have more bonus chance added for them to trigger, the longer the player goes without having an orgasm.

Ah, that explains a lot. I had thought it worked completely differently.

 

But, if I may ask, do you know what does the setting "Minimum days without orgasm" in SLA actually do? I thought it sets how many days must pass before the arousal starts rising again, but from what I observed it seems this is not how it works.

I have no clue, I've been using OSL Aroused for a long time now and I don't recall this setting being there. Maybe you'll have better luck in the SL Aroused mod thread?

[BexBlair]

Dumb question: This is my ride or die mod, but Sexlab survival is a close second. Does anyone know if there is any problems with crossover? Or if it's compatitable, any features to turn on or off to help?

Sorry in advance if this has been addressed before ❤️
