[Search] Any mods or ideas on how to implement atlternative (mostly non combat) playstyle options

[Karkhel]

I've looked through a lot of threads about similar topics both on loverslab and reddit. I'm kinda running survival type of playthrough, not really novel idea out here, I have been adding mods for a while now, and removing some. But right now I am just focused on any SFW mods that I might've missed that do not contradict what I have going on for now, though if someone has ideas of NSFW mods that add to gameplay or immersion of less combat oriented or just straight up pacifist playthrough I don't mind them being recommended either. I do not want the player to be the badass warrior, overpowered mage or archer.

I think I have stealth part figured out for the most part, suspicious guards, having compass arrows for enemies and sneak eye disabled, combat music off and realistic AI detenction all worked pretty well together so far. Hunter in the wild is honestly covered by frostfall and hunterborn I'm not sure what else could I add.

I wanted to add ways to roleplay as a trader, for which I only found trade and barter and trade routes, both of which would be harder to implement because of NSFW money sinks I got in the game but I could manage it, I suppose this is where I'm asking for help the most as well as anything that fits player as a support. But suggestions for anything mentioned in this thread are welcome.

Again not just mods but maybe configurations or ideas are welcome. Don't want money printing schemes, the more customizable something is the better. I do generally try to add mods that make the game harder, especially for overpowered stuff like stealth, make some small xedit edits myself too. NSFW mods are big part of the modlist so I guess mods that have some surprising synergy with those would be neat.

I'm posting this in LE section but I know from experience how many people don't check so just to be 100% clear, I'm playing on LE.

NSFW you say?

 

Harder sneak:

Mod: Sexlab Aroused Creatures

Effect: If you sneak and there are creatures close by they think your sneaking counts as invite (if they aroused enough), with obvious results.

 

Nearly save roaming:

Mod: Sanguine Debauchery plus (SD+)

Effect: get enslaved and you are friendly to all factions your SD master is member of.

Bonus: For some reason SD+ calm effect from being enslaved also works well with custom hostile mods that add new creatures. @DeepBlueFrog (DBF)'s modding magic at work.

 

Totally save roaming:

Mod: Naked Dungeons (NDUN) + any sex/enslavement approach mod (Deviously Enslaved Continued (DEC) for example, be quick before NPC get aroused enough to approach you)

Effect: If naked and unarmed you are free to roam everywhere, but in addition with approach mods you might get into trouble quickly

Note: NDUN can't calm faction it doesn't know about, for example custom factions of various custom enemy adding mods

 

The horror:

Mod: DCL or Deviously enchanted chests or Skyrim chain beasts

Effect: So you successfully sneaked to that chest? Hope it's not cursed or all your sneaking will end in a devious adventure

Bonus: creates all kinds of odd situations from the moment you get into devices to the travel to the next city to get out of your predicament. Escaping DDs can be as expensive as you want it to be.

 

Survival:

Mod: @Monoman1 (MM1)'s Sexlab Survival

Effect: Effects somehow EVERYTHING! The ultimate gold drain. Risky to steal stuff. Expensive to stay in a city, probably leaving the city too.

Bonus: Make City visits as hard as you like, makes camping in the woods great again, you gonna love traveling merchants

Sorry for the confusion, but I'm looking for SFW mods, just said NSFW mod recommends are welcome as well. I guess I should've put that in the bold text section too not just the first sentence. Still appreciate the recommends especially the notes you added.

Sneaky gremlin, I just want to say though I really appreciate the Conglomorate guides, they helped me out immensly when I started out lewd modding.

Splendid. Good to hear.

I took a year long break and need to read this and that from my blog too.

So much is too fast forgotten.

 

 

Btw, I like Survival too, even if it's rather the devious kind.

Maybe this one is for you too:

The Island

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/93216

 

Basically an alternate start where you are forced to live of the land for quite a while.

I use it mainly to see what LL mods do outside of the vanilla Skyrim environment and if I have a chance to escape all the devious stuff without the convenient city nearby.

Also nice to test:

what containers are mod effected

what spawns get replaced by mods

does the smashed patch work as intended

what can be crafted

what to eat without the carriage drive in of MC Tavern

what mod wants to teleport you away from the starter island

what followers can you get (calming, factions, follower framework) if only hostiles are available for recruitment (alternative: PAHE lol)

escape of DDs and similar without cheating (for example, calm hostiles > make follower > hopefully they can help via the installed mods)

 

also nice holiday from all those vanilla quests

I remember there was a ring of calming (nearly) everything, but I guess that counts as cheat right?

If interested I look what mod that was.

Yea that's a bit too cheaty, I'm still a bit unsure of how to make surrender more enticing option, I guess something really harsh waiting in death alternative.

The endless story of defeat options.

I always try to have a local defeat result instead of getting teleported away.

Problem with that is usually the aggro management and/or something interesting that follows (SD+ is perfect for local defeat results, but also it makes robbing the robbers really easy) and/or the problem that followers want to be defeated too (even if they might have another opinion about that xD)
