Captured Dreams - Resored June 23 2023

An add on for Devious Devices

 

I consider this a BETA release as updating for v4 of DD has been mainly just updating script properties on devices. I have not examined any DD v4 scripts in detail at this point. So far my custom devices seem to be working. My only plans for updating is to update scripts and fix issues related to various mod updates.

Spoiler

When I removed CD I also removed it from my PC and archived it on an external drive. My current PC is 4 years old and never had it installed until a few weeks ago so there is much I have forgotten about the mod but it is coming back to me as I play it again.



Permissions:

No CD files may be altered except for translation purposes. If you do make a patch or update (such as the SSE conversion by blyss4226) pm them to me and if they fit within the context of the mod (for new content) or are needed updates / conversions I would rather they be posted here so they are in one place.

No files of any sort that are CD specific (did not come from another mod) may be used outside of CD without my express permission.

3rd party mods may be made but any issues that arise from their use will not be supported by me.

This mod may not be uploaded to any other site.

 

 

Notice! File download structure has changed so read the Install instructions
Any questions concerning installation will be referred back to these instructions!

 

Welcome to the Captured Dreams shop where you can find something to capture your dream.

 

The Captured Dreams shop sells various chastity and bondage items as well as provides special sessions for VIP customers. There are a large number of items available in a wide variety of finishes and colors to get that perfect look you wanted. There are also a number of services from getting out of items placed on you against your will to trying out some of the items first hand to getting something to help keep you ‘safe’ from the bandits and those with ill intent. There are also some employment opportunities making deliveries and recovering some that have been stolen. Just see the Master of the shop for whatever it is you need. The shop is close to the Half Moon Mill north of Falkreath on the road that goes from Falkreath north through Rorikstead.

 

V4 is localized and includes both English and German language text
Note: V4.15 is non localized and is English only, a localized version with updated German translation will be released when it is available. Files marked with v4.09 (generally anything other than part 1) are still valid for v4.15 (if they are on the download page) as there were no changes made to them since that version.

 

Requirements:
SexLab v1.62
SexLab Aroused or Aroused Redux
Devious Devices Assets - Latest
Devious Devices Integration - Latest
Devious Devices Expansion - Latest
ZAZ Animation Pack v 6.11 or later - is compatible with v7.0 or v8 or v8plus by t.ara (I use v8plus)
Fus Ro D’oh
SkyUI

 

Recommended Mods:
Deviously Cursed Loot – Master can remove some items
Skyrim Bound
Live a Deviant Life Resurrection – can use slavery start
Devious Captures
Devious Devices Equip
Simple Slavery – can use slavery start and is used by the Property Slave at a certain point.
Any mods that linked to CD's slavery system should work as the mechanism that starts it has not changed.
 
Or most any other DD mod though mods that use a lot of script resources may cause issues due to the number of DD items used in CD.
Conflicts may arise with other mods that use quest devices
 
 

Resources Used:
Resources were used from the following mods as allowed by their posted permissions:

 

-Knapsack Retexture Pack-
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34474/?tab=3&selected_game=110&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D34474%26user%3D1%26gid%3D110&pUp=1

 

-Ships - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59426/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D59426%26preview%3D&pUp=1

 

-Ashara’s Romantic Outfit- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5577/?

 

-TES4 Mod- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59867/?

 

-Shiny Rubber Catsuits mod- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41534/?

 

-Hoods- Thanks to nytesorrow for permission to use these within my mods

 

Extras:
The MCM menu is set to automatically import items from some mods. Currently the list is rather small and the original esp is required:
-Tera Armors CBBE Only- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29411/?
-Neo’s Slave Leia Renewal - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60264/?
-Tera Armors UNP - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25846/?

 

Installation:
Use your preferred mod manager to install, manual installation is not recommended due the number of scripts included in CD (just over 1700).

 

The mod is broken up over several parts:
Part 1 - Esp, scripts and other minor files Required
Part 2 - Meshes and Textures by texture size Required
Part 3 - Catsuit data by body including bodyslide files Optional if you already have Shiny Rubber Catsuits but you should not need the esp for it now
Part 4 - Removed due to bad meshes in it that can cause CTD. Use DD v4 bodyslide files instead.
Part 5 - Misc optional files (female guard file and UNPB meshes for chastity piercings) Optional

 

v4.05 was left for those that wish to use the last German version. Both the v4.05 and v4.051 files are needed. Install v4.051 after v4.05. Part 4 may be used with v4.05

 

 

SSE Version:

blyss4226 has provided converted files for SSE, parts 1 and 2 (all resolutions) and the Catsuits as well as the optional esp's for part 5 have been updated as well.

I myself have not tested this nor do I intend to as I am doing just fine with the original version of Skyrim. If there are any issues and someone fixes a particular file or whatever if it is provided to me I will update the SSE files with it.

 

The required parts to the mod are the same as the original Skyrim version shown above though you may need to convert the catsuits (or see if there is a mod with them that has already done it, there are several that use them).

 

Dependencies (Thanks to Ceber for compiling this list)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to update parts to work with SSE (Thanks to Ceber for writing this up)

Spoiler

Then to fix captured dreams meshes and textures. Files indicated specifically for SSE should be ready to go.
You need nifoptimizer https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4089
And something to change a dds texture like https://www.getpaint.net/

 

Extract files from "CD Part 2 - Meshes and Textures - XXXX V4.09.7z"
Open the meshes folder from the extracted files and move the actors folder somewhere else, so that is wont be affected by the next step.
Run nifoptimizer with it's default settings on the meshes folder.
Run nifoptimizer with "head parts only" enabled on the actors folder.
Move the actors folder back into the meshes folder.
Run the "scan textures" funtion from nifoptimizer on the extracted textures folder, that will show 1 texture not being a multiple of 4.
Open that texture with pain.net (or what ever other image softwere you have that can edit dds files) and resize it so that both x and y are multiples of 4.
Then compress everything back into a zip file, and install with your mod manager.

Extract "CD Part 3 - Catsuit XXXX Mesh & Bodyslide Data.zip" and run nifoptimizer on the meshes folder.
Then compress everything back into a zip file, and install with your mod manager.
If you use bodyslide for those catsuit meshes, it would be a good idea to run nifoptimizer on the meshes it creates in your game (or MO) folder.



 

 

 

Full Install:
V4.15
Required
Install Part 1
Install Part 2 (whichever resolution you chose)

New ESP file
Optional (as needed)
Install Part 3
Install Part 4
Unzip and install whatever files you need of Part 5

 

V4.05 - Last Localized version with German language support

Conflicts:
Use the following at your own risk, I will not provide support if these are used with CD:
Use of the ReStringer tool may make it impossible for me to give you assistance if you are having issues since it changes names of variables and such.
Maria Eden has been known to cause issues with CD and DD in general due to the incompatibilities of the locking systems.

 

General overview of what this mod does:
I will break this down into several sections to help keep it organized

 

The MCM Menu
Player Info page: All the player’s stats are displayed here including Disposition (sub/dom) as well as the 5 tendencies. You can also adjust the time scale as there is some times where waiting is disabled. There are also other options (enable/disable controls and such) and some other stats.
Quest Options: The options on this page include the ability to turn on/off various quests (all are OFF as default) and adjust any setting that a particular quest may have. The option to instantly finish the grounds expansion for the shop is here as well.
Slavery Options: There are a few options for the slavery section of the mod as well as options for Erani
Devices: This page lets you enable/disable some devices as well as set preferences as far as materials, color and belt types. Note that these may not be followed in some cases.
Addon Management: This controls the system that grabs items from specific mods and makes them available for purchase as well as adds some as outfits to different npc’s. The system is modular and is currently set to handle 10 slots with each slot assigned to a specific mod.

 

Player Statistics
There are 6 statistics that make up the player’s personality:
Primary: runs from 1 (sub) to 20 (dom) and may change during the game
Disposition – A measure of their submissive or dominant nature and is the primary stat used
Tendencies: runs from 1 (dislike) to 7 (like). These can be looked at in various combinations and don’t change during the course of the game
Sadism – enjoys hurting or tormenting someone either mentally or physically
Masochism – enjoys pain and being tormented either mentally or physically
Sexuality – how much someone enjoys sex
Bondage – how much a person likes to be bound
Control – how much a person like being in control or being controlled
Note: I know a lot of people wonder what the difference between Control and Disposition would be. A person who is a sub does not necessarily mean they are meek and do whatever anyone says, they just prefer to be the bottom in the relationship. You can easily have a sub who enjoys tormenting and commanding others (sadist and control), especially for their master.

 

Custom Items:

 

There are a number of custom items including custom textured devices by Coopervane and a few items by Zaria from the Zaria's Restraints mod. There are also 7 custom vaginal plugs and 2 anal plugs for sale and more on the way!

 

Current items available:
Additional finishes for items -
New colors include: Silver, Bronze, Black, Red, Dark Red and White for the following items:
Padded Belt (both styles), Padded Bra, Padded Arm and Leg Cuffs, Padded Collar and Posture Collar

 

Little Helper Plugs -
Made to help the wearer in a few skill areas but at the cost of being constantly horny and on edge.
- Assassin: +20% Sneak, Additional x2 on Backstab, +20% with both One Handed and Bows
- Fighter: +20% on One Handed, Two Handed and Block skills
- Mage: +15% on spell magnitude
- Thief: +20% on Sneak, Pick Pocket and Pick Lock
+++ The beneficial enchantments will not work unless the users arousal is 80 or higher and they DO NOT have a chastity key in their inventory
+++ All Little Helper plugs also will: Sometimes Edge wearer, Random Vibration, Electro Stim and are Magically Sensitive.
+++ All are vaginal plugs

 

Little Devil Plugs -
Made to tease and torment the wearer relentlessly
- Exciter Vaginal Plug - Random Vibration and Sometimes edge wearer
- Orgasmo Vaginal Plug - Periodically Vibrate Very Strongly, Very Lively, Periodic Stamina Drain
- Tormentor Vaginal Plug - Electrostim Effect
- Punisher Anal Plug - Electro Stim, Sometimes Edge wearer, Periodic Health, Stamina and Mana Drain
- Spoiler Anal Plug - Electro Stim and Sometimes Edge wearer

 

Protector series Belt and Bra -
Made to keep the wearer safe from those horny bandits, undead and other creatures wandering Skyrim. Once locked an enchantment ensures that it stays locked, they can not be picked or opened in any other way than the use of the Protector Amulet. Upon putting on the Protector Amulet the Belt and Bra will unlock and be removed.
- Protectors are sold in a set, 1 Belt and 1 Bra. The belt is available in either the open or closed back Padded Belts.
- You get your choice of finish - standard Steel finish, Silvered finish or Bronze finish
- On the first purchase of a Protector set you will get a recipe to make the amulet. It requires the crafting of 2 parts: an amulet of gold and a special cooling mixture. The recipe has the complete instructions within it and will be consumed in the process of making it.
- If you lose the amulet or recipe you can purchase an additional copy of the recipe.
- Items are sold by the Master, just ask about items to keep you safe.
- Quests can still be done while wearing the Protector Series of items.

 

Shop Grounds
To start the shop will be the only building in place but after a while the grounds will be expanded to also include a barracks, stable, smithy, mine, manor house and VIP house. If it starts on its own it will take about 2-3 weeks in game to finish or you can set it so it is done (must be done before it starts). The number of npc’s will increase and include guards and slaves working at various jobs. If you take your horse to the stable, dismount and walk away the stable hand will take the horse into the stable for you.

 

Courier
Captured Dreams has their own courier who will deliver ads or requests from the Shop Master.

 

Shop Services
-Buy and sell various bondage and chastity devices
-Removal of devices locked on you
-Free Trial of items to see if you like them or not
-Special items to help keep you safe from those why may take advantage of you

 

Employment
-Deliver a package of items to a customer somewhere in Skyrim within a specified amount of time
-Recover a package seized by bandits
-Help a customer by modeling some items for them
-Take part in a special session with a VIP
-Do a bit of mining in the mine, paid by the piece
-Special tasks may be offered to you if Master likes you well enough

 

Consequences for Misdeeds
Sometimes things don’t go your way and you end up screwing up so Master has ways to deal with these situations. She has a number of punishments she may do depending on the infraction as well as how well you have done in the past and if she likes you or not. Some are rather minor while others… not so much.
There are 3 levels of punishment: Basic, Moderate and Advanced. Earning higher level punishments will also get you punishments from the lower levels so if you happen to earn an Advanced punishment you will also get a Moderate and Basic punishment.

 

Enslavement
There are 2 kinds of enslavement in CD:
1 – Submitting to Master as a personal slave (aka Relationship Slave)
2 – Being taken as property for whatever reason you have pissed her off (aka Property Slave)

 

Quest Specifics

Spoiler

Removal of Devices – Master will remove devices that have been locked on you (including some items from Deviously Cursed Loot) though the cost increases with your level. If you can’t afford the price Master will offer credit in exchange for wearing a belt and collar until it is paid off. You can pay off your debt a little at a time or all at once. Excessive debt is a factor in enslavement

 

Free Trial – With your first ad you will get an offer for a free trial of some devices to see if you like them. Depending on how submissive you are the Master may not let you out of them right away and insist on keeping them for a while longer to really get a feel for them. The more submissive you are the less chance there is she will remove them.

 

Protector Items – These are a special belt and bra set (can be used independently) that can’t be removed by bandits and such thus keeping you safe. A special amulet is used to remove the devices though it may burn out and break and require replacement.

 

Protector Plus Items aka Chaste Life – These are special items offered for specific reasons: to protect a woman’s virginity or to stay chaste. These are advanced versions of the Protector items except for the fact that the wearer cannot remove them and Master will insist they stay on until the wearer is married. Master will offer to allow the wearer the chance to ‘relieve some tension’ and remove the belt for a short time but only under strict supervision. Chaste Life can be used as a lead in to the Chaste Spouse quest or end once married. Note: you will have to bring your spouse to see Master to get the belt removed.

 

Chaste Spouse - Used either as an extension of Chaste Life or on its own, this allows the player to enter into a Slave/Master relationship with each other. The deciding factor as to who is in what position will depend on your Disposition, if you are a sub then you will take on the Slave role, if you are a dom then you are the Master and if you are somewhere in the middle your spouse will determine who plays what role. Once you have decided who gets what role and met with Master (if coming from Chaste Life) you will need to establish where your playhouse is and get some toys to play with.
-- Establishing your play house: Simply take your spouse to your home and let them know that this will be your play house. This can be changed at any point but must be an interior space.
-- Getting some toys: Master sells a number of items for you to play with including device sets (full set with matching finish), a toy box of chains, leather straps and a whip as well as several different pieces of furniture. The toy box and furniture will need to be set up by you and can be placed anywhere within the playhouse. Note: When you purchase one of the items you will be given a ring that will allow the placement, movement and cleanup of the various items you have purchased. Simply put the ring on and the menu options will be shown.
-- Playing the Slave role: As a slave you will be subject to the whims of the Master, whether it is to be bound, placed in various devices or expected to satisfy their needs. If you have any furniture or a toy box you can play with those on your own but you will have to wait until your Spouse/Master decides to let you out which may be a few hours.
-- Playing the Master role: As a Master you can do various things to your slave such as bind them in chains or leather, place them in furniture, whip them, dress them in devices or make them take care of your needs. You can keep your spouse bound for however long as you like.

 

Deliver a Package: This is your typical take an item to someone and get paid, or is it? You have a set amount of time to reach your destination based on what area of Skyrim it is going to. If you get there early you may get a tip from the customer and earn a bonus from Master when you return. If you are late in delivering the package you will be getting something else from the customer and Master. Also, a group of bandits hired by someone looking to interfere with Master’s business will attempt to take the package from you, if they succeed you may have a chance to get it back and still make the delivery.

 

Recover a Delivery: Apparently the last person who was hired to take a delivery didn’t do so well and was carted off by bandits and your job is to recover the package and return it to Master. There is no time limit on this quest.

 

Assist a Customer 01: Notice!!! This quest has been disabled until I can get it working properly or replaced with a newer, expanded version.
- An important VIP and business partner is staying in the VIP house and his slave wants a demonstration of some different items and you have been asked to be the one to model them. The items will vary depending on the tastes of the slave so it will vary each time.
-- Availability requirements:

  • VIP house is completed
  • Mr Tavish is staying in the VIP house non session room


Assist a Customer 02: - An important VIP is staying at the VIP house and has requested a ‘special session’ with either a slave or master for a few hours. Your role will depend on what role the VIP wishes to take and will be explained up front. You may refuse to take part in the session. The room is set up with a number of items for use including Metal Shackles, Leather Bindings, a Whip and devices to use on the slave (you or the VIP). Once the session time is up you will be told to finish up and come out of the room.
Note: this is a free form session; if you are the slave the VIP’s actions are mostly random so their actions will vary quite a bit. If you are the Master you are in complete control and dictate what happens and when.
-- Availability requirements:

  • VIP house has been completed
  • Session room is occupied

 


Mining: Pretty simple on this one. Once you have told Master you wish to do some mining go to the mine and speak with the Overseer, he will provide you with a uniform and pick axe. You will be paid for each piece of ore you mine but won’t be able to leave until you have been checked out by the Overseer.
-- Availability requirements:

  • Mine has been constructed



 

 

 

Special Tasks

Spoiler

There are several special tasks that Master may have you do for her if she trusts you enough and thinks you can handle the task. Note: for those that played v3 of Captured Dreams these are the quests that were connected to the Expansion. They all have the same theme though some have changed more than others.

 

A Lesson in Control: Siddgeir, the Jarl of Falkreath, has been causing some issues for Master and her business associates as of late and something needs to be done about it. Since he is little more than a puppet of the Empire and has been abusing his position it has been decided that he needs to be put under strict control. You will assist Nenya in getting him under control.
-- Availability requirements:

  • Rank with Master of 13 or higher
  • Disposition of 9 or higher (no subs allowed)


Party Favors: Elenwen is throwing one of her usual parties and Master can’t attend, she rarely does. So Master decides to send you in her place but not as a guest but as entertainment.
Note: Not all players will be offered this quest as it requires meeting the requirements on various traits and such. Generally this is used as an Advanced Punishment instead of an offered quest
Repeat visits may be possible with Master finally attending but you are left for the guards to use in the barracks for the night.
-- Availability requirements:

  • Rank with Master of 12 or higher
  • Disposition of 3 or less
  • One or more of the following: Sexual Tendency of 5+ or Control Tendency of 3- or Masochist Tendency of 5+


A Date with a Jarl: The late High King Torygg had commissioned several items be made with special locks for his wife Elisif before he was killed but the devices were not completed until just recently. You are given the task of assisting Elisif in fitting the devices on her properly and collecting on the payment (discounts on tariffs and port fees for Master’s goods). You will need to help her figure out what exactly it is that she enjoyed about bondage and such. Note: there are 3 variations on what it is she likes and you will have to determine which it is.
-- Availability requirements:

  • Rank with Master of 15 or higher


To Fetch a Slave: Master has finally tracked down a specific slave on behalf of a friend and she is finally in Skyrim. Your task is to get her and bring her back to Master. Currently she is at Refugees Rest and is being used to lure Dark Elves in who are then captured and enslaved. You will likely have to deal with the thugs watching over her as well as whoever is heading the operation. Once you bring her back she will spend some time in the VIP house after which she will be assigned her position.
-- Erani may be assigned to the player so long as they have somewhere to keep her. If the player does take ‘possession’ of her they will have to show them where they will be staying as well as where they need to do what chores. All of them must be shown as the default location is in the Manor House and she will end up wandering back and forth likely getting lost.
Note: Currently her outfit system is not working well but you can use any of the Follower Control mods to change her outfit to whatever you want.
-- Availability requirements:

  • Rank with Master of 15 or higher
  • VIP house is completed

 

 

 

 

 


Consequences

Spoiler

Confiscation:
From time to time the Master may notice that you are carrying extra devices and want to see what you have. She will select devices from the that can be put on you and lock them in place while confiscating the rest.
-- Triggered by

  • Disposition of 8 or less
  • Random element


Punishments
There are consequences to failing at a task, just how bad depends on your relationship with Master and the severity of the failure

 


Basic Punishments:
These include being whipped in the shop, having items placed on you or possibly placed in a cage out in the wilderness (dressed in the appropriate devices of course). Generally if items are placed on you as a punishment Master will not remove any items for several days afterwards.

 

Moderate Punishments:
These include being put on display outside (with everything on display), placed in a cage outside for a few days, used as a shop display for a day, fined and placed in a debt belt (or increasing your debt amount) or sent to the mine with a quota to fill before you will be released.

 

Advanced Punishments:
These include being sent to the Manor Dungeon for a few days, being sent to the Embassy or being enslaved. Note: The Embassy punishment or Enslavement are only used if enabled.

 

Note: Earning a higher level punishment also earns you punishments from the lesser levels, ie: getting a Moderate punishment also gets you a Basic one and getting an Advanced punishment gets you a moderate and basic punishment.



 

 

 

Slavery

Spoiler

There are 2 kinds of slaves in Captured Dreams: Property Slave or Relationship Slave.

 

Relationship Slave: A Relationship Slave is where you voluntarily submit to Master and become her slave. You are given a room to use and can go about your business as normal but there are occasions that she will have something for you to do that you can’t refuse to do.
Note: Currently there is little content for Relationship Slave and is one of the next parts to be expanded
Requirements:

  • Rank with Master- 1 to 4 = -2 pts, 5 to 8 = -1 pt, 13 - 16 = 1 pt, 17 - 20 = 2 pts
  • Submissive- 1-4 = 2 pts, 5 - 8 = 1 pt
  • Dominant- 17 - 20 = 2 pts, 13 - 16 = 1 pt
  • Debt- 0 debt = 1 pt, 125% - 175% of High Debt amt = -1 pt, 175% or more of High Debt limit = -2 pts
  • Delivery Success value- 5 or less = -2 pts, -3 to -4 = -1 pt, 4 to 5 = 1 pt, 6 or higher = 2 pts


Have a total of 4 pts or more and you are eligible to be a Relationship Slave

 


Property Slave: A Property Slave is just that, property. You are given a task to do and expected to perform your duties each day. If you do well you may improve your standing and move on to a better job, do poorly and you will be given increasingly worse jobs. Overall there are 14 levels to this and you start out in the middle at 6.
-- Quick rundown of the tasks, more detail will be provided where needed afterwards:
14- Manor Slave (see below)
13- Quest – Go pick up a package (see below)
12- Work in the smithy - quota
11- Quest – Go pick up an item from Rayani
10- Work in the smithy - quota
09- Quest – Go pick up some items from a smith in one of the nearby cities (repeatable)
08- Work in the mine - quota
07- Quest – Go exchange some ore for ingots (repeatable)
06- Work in the mine – quota
05- Work in the mine with some extra apparel – quota
04- Used as an ‘Ore Pony’ – transport ore and ingots around the shop grounds – quota
03- Used to entice customers to the shop by getting to use you – random quota
02- Used to entice customer to the shop as above but higher quota targets
01- The Cage – Spend 5 days in the cage, what happens after that…
Note: The only way out of Property Slave is stage 01 or 14 otherwise it does not end!!!
Requirements:

  • Rank with Master- 1 to 4 = -2 pts, 5 to 8 = -1 pt, 13 - 16 = 1 pt, 17 - 20 = 2 pts
  • Debt- 0 debt = 1 pt, 125% - 175% of High Debt amt = -1 pt, 175% or more of High Debt limit = -2 pts
  • Delivery Success value- 5 or less = -2 pts, -3 to -4 = -1 pt, 4 to 5 = 1 pt, 6 or higher = 2 pts


Have a total of -4 pts or less and you are eligible to be a Relationship Slave

 


Task details:
All tasks marked with quota have a quota that must be met and is cumulative so if your quota for a day is 50 then after 4 days you will have needed to produce 200. If you fall behind by 1 days’ worth of items then you will be reduced by one level in tasks, if you get ahead by 1 days’ worth of items you advance to the next level. The longer you are at a level the easier it is to drop or advance. Notice: once you reach the lowest levels (3 and under) it is unlikely you will get back to 4 or more again.

 

Quest – Go get an item from Rayani: Rayani sent a letter back to the shop saying she found something interesting and wanted someone to come and get it from her, unfortunately the letter is rather stained and mostly illegible. You will have to figure out where she is at, get the item and return it to De’Zra.

 

Quest – Go pick up a package: Travel to the lighthouse near Solitude and pick up a package. It turns out there is more to this package than you or Master knew and there are people looking for it and it is something you can’t hide. Can you evade the people looking for it? Note: Fast travel is disabled once the item is picked up.

 

Manor Slave – Congratulations you are now working in the Manor House as a maid:
This section is probably the most difficult of the 14 to complete and for good reason, finish it and you can be free (among other options). Each day you will be given 2 tasks by Markus the Manor Administrator that must be done and report back to him by 8pm. If you finish your tasks early you may ask for more work (up to 2 more tasks) to earn some credits but any requested tasks have to be finished as well. Completing the 2 tasks given gives no credits or demerits, completing extra tasks earn 1 credit each. Each task not completed or failed earns a demerit (including the 2 tasks required to do each day). Work hard as advancement is not easy but you can fall behind quickly. Failure will also earn you appropriate punishments. To finish this section you need 30 credits (cumulative) so work hard.




 

 

 

Load order:
Captured Dreams can be placed most anywhere in the load order with a few exceptions:
- Scenic Carriages should be placed after Captured Dreams

 

As to the order of the ESM files (SexLab, Assets, Integration etc...) I have tried placing them in the same order as Integration uses but doing so breaks a number of the properties each time I try. Since the CK just rearranges it again later and fixing the properties each time takes hours and can leave some missed breaking things (has happened earlier) I will not be attempting it again.

 

In game setup:

 

1- TURN OFF MASTURBATION ON BELT REMOVAL!! - any scene where a belt is removed (pretty much all of them) will be stopped otherwise.
2- Any mods that can take control of the player or npc's at random times (SC07 Random Attack or others like it) need to be disabled during scenes.
Since these give the player control back at the end the scene will halt where it is and may result in the other npc's no longer responding as they should.

 

Conflicts and Issues:

 

Crashes during SexLab scenes:

Spoiler

These are not something I can do anything about, it is between SexLab and Skyrim. Scenes that use SexLab can be saved during them except when a sex scene is running.

 


Conflicts with other mods:

Spoiler

Legendary Cities - TES Arena - Frontier Fortresses: North Keep location in same location as shop.
SexCrime will set off the paralysis on custom collars, set it so nudity is not a crime.
Defeat can cause whippings to stop if the 'Stun' option is enabled.

 


If scenes stop and no longer respond:

Spoiler

If you are missing Fus Ro D'oh it causes issues with the scenes and makes them stop.
In Integration set the MasturbateOnBeltRemoval to false (unchecked).
If you are using SexLab Random Attack disable it when a scene starts.
If you have control of your character you can try disabling the the player controls in the MCM menu, scenes can't run if you have control.
You can enable / disable the Player AI using the MCM menu ( on reset page) and move to proper position if needed.

 


If items are not removed from player but show as unequipped:

Spoiler

If the item is a Captured Dreams quest item that was not unequipped after a quest use the MCM option on the Player page to try to remove it first.

 

If the inventory item shows as unequipped but the item shown on the player is still there and the two are no longer connected (it happens)
Try first:
Open a container and place the broken item in it, Integration will reequip the item and should fix it.

 

If the above does not work then you can try the following
To remove the item:
1- Unequip everything you can (if you have a large number of items, move some into another container)
2- Open the console and select your character
3- in the console type: showinventory
4- look for an item(s) that show as worn but do not have a name, just ID numbers (PGUP/PGDN to scroll)
5- Use the console to remove those items from your inventory
If you removed a belt you may need to equip another one and remove it normally to end the belt quest.

 

 

 

If you are having issues with crashing, quests/scenes not advancing or problems with item removal / equipping:
1- Check your papyrus log for rapidly repeating errors and fix them! These will degrade script performance and CD makes heavy use of DD Integration.
2- If you are still having issues give me specific information about where it happens and what it is doing. If it concerns the adding / removing of items please include a papyrus log (if you have repeating errors from other mods I will tell you to fix those first).

Overall Status update:

 

 

Mod status: An update to this is currently very unlikely due to issues with the mod itself for several reasons:

1- My scripts are a complete mess and unorganized. Many variables are no longer used due to being duplicated sometimes in multiple places. Due to my own issues I am having problems following where scripts interact with each other due to time spent away from the mod and other issues discussed below.

2- Basic quest setup is not very good. The main issue here is how the Aliases are handled and that nearly all quests are active from the start. This causes any filled aliases to be tracked constantly even when the area isn't loaded.

3- All devices need the scripts rebuilt and the easiest way is to rebuild every device which will change all the ID's for them requiring every property calling on them to be changed. While I had reduced the number of places they were referenced there are many that are hidden away in scripts in various places.

4- A few quests are overly complex and need broken into multiple parts (Property Slave is a prime exmple).

 

Overall I am back to where I was when I stopped development years ago, the mod needs rebuilt nearly from the ground up (exterior and interiors are ok but will need many position markers removed)

 

 

My status: Due to long term side effects from previous medications and side effects from current medications I am having some mental difficulties. My mental state leading up to the removal of the mod initially were influenced by my medications then and while my mental stats is more stable I am having issues with my memory and hand-eye coordination (typing can be challenging). While my memory isn't swiss cheese like it was around 2020 when I had issues remembering what I went into another room for I still have issues remembering words and console/script commands (the word is gone from my mind but I can tell you the definition and it can last for a few days). I am under several doctors care for both my mental and physical health and was declared disabled a few years after I had removed Captured Dreams years ago.

 

 

What I am considering: I am considering rebuilding things using the most recent version of DD but I have been considering this for quite a while and have not reached a decision. Part of what is pushing me to consider doing it is that I have an idea of a major change that would be made to the mod which includes a new npc who is an equal to Master and that person would be in a new location. This is something that has been milling around in my head for a while and with how they and Master would interact, where their activities overlap and where they are different.

 

 

Edit:
Some things to watch out for in scenes and dialogue (these are the main game issues I have run across):
1: Property Slave - Moving from the guard house to the smithy scene restarting - At the end of the scene while in the guard house if the scene ends while there is ANY player dialogue visible the scene will repeat when you get to the smithy and will be stucck in a loop. This is a Skyrim issue as it doesn't recognize the scene as having ended as long as the dialogue is there and will restart the dialogue. There are ways to end scenes before intended but they don't work when the scene hands over to dialogue via forcegreet. Just activate the dialogue again before the end of the scene and it will go away. I tested this numerous times and if the dialogue was there it repeated 100% of the time and if it wasn't then it continued properly 100% of the time

2: Serving a guest as a slave or master - Don't rush through dialogue, there are scripts running during it and can result in multiple instances of the script running at once.

3: Scenes where the forcegreet doesn't start - I have seen this a number of times in the shop when putting items on the player or start of punishments. A general way to restart things is the following:

   1- enable player controls

   2- talk to Master or whomever else is in control of things

   3- exit the normal dialogue that appears

   4- the scene should pick up where it stopped

   5- disable your controls again

A true blast from the past. I imagine there are quite a few folks here these days that didn't even know of CD. Only the mere rumours and rumblings from days gone. 

 

Welcome back.

Wow, nice!  I've missed that Embassy quest.  ;)    DD is version 5.2 now though, there's a bit of catching up to do.

 

https://www.loverslab.com/topic/157168-devious-devices-le-52/

I don't see changing to v5+ of DD as every place where I reference DD items, keywords or anything else from DD would be broken. Biggest issue is the keywords since these are used in numerous scripts and dialogue conditions as well as devices.
