It's puzzling because most armor and clothing doesn't have any of these "survival" keywords. I guess for those, the survival mode just sets a warm value based on the body slot and the material type (e.g., leather material covering head = X). But some armor does, like daedric armor, where all the pieces have "Survival_ArmorWarm" keywords. Others make sense, like Ragged Trousers being "Survival_ArmorCold". Some clothing is puzzling: Nocturnal robes are not "cold", a wedding dress is "warm". 

 

I think the problem is that each of cuirass, boots, gauntlets and helmets can have these keywords, which means their warmth value is very likely set based on the item type. So, adding a "warm" keyword to a collar in slot 45 (collar slot) will probably do nothing.  I guess for Balazar's Pet Collar, I could assign the collar also to the body slot, since the PC is supposed to be naked anyway.

 

It should add warmth, even if placed on a collar, but I think lack of boots, gloves, body and headware will add to cold value. There is a mod that allow player to reduce the added cold value from lack of base slots. I kind of use a both that mod and another mod that allow warmth protection to give more then 80% protection. Survival mode is a bit harsh as it is when it comes to cold.

This mod results in Elisf having blackface due to conflicts with any mod changing her appearance. Anyone have a fix for this?

i finished the last quest in rifton and got all three favors from balazar emissary but nothing happens after this.

did i miss something? the quest is still there all Points a Filled and balazar lost the option to change the collar.

Think I've encountered a bug - its during the dialog with Balazar in Markarth "Secrets of the Forworn" that entails talking through with him your approach to infiltrate the Forsworn using a disguise. The dialog ends with him saying something about "Staying here to monitor forworn invaders" implying you are leaving for Hag Rock Redoubt. The problem is that the quest doesn't progress after this and the map marker remains on Balazar.

When update

Hi first of thank you for your work on this mod but i fear i'm also here to report that the Riften quest has me stuck at Ingun's experiment, she neither walks to her laboratory's door nor does she show up after the first scene with the werewolf. I could be wrong but im very certain i dont have another mod that should influence her AI so i fear i'm fully stuck there for now but besides that love the mod

Edit: to add that i also am missing the wooden post in solitude's demon whore quest with ZaZ8.0 installed

setstage BLZR_Martkarth 190

Thank you, I'm having the same problem as you, I've been refreshing this page every day for the past few days hopefully someone can offer a solution.😆

 

Edit: 
But that didn't work, maybe because I was using a language that wasn't English.
But I found the solution: 
1. Type: save funclist 1 
2. A txt file will open automatically after a few seconds (if it doesn't open automatically go to \Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\saves) 
3. Use Ctrl+F to search for the name of your quest (in the language you chose in the game). 
4. The first code on that line is the quest code (for example, I'll show 1D663307 718/718 BC000002 78 弃誓者的秘密 - Quest Flags(2) Quest Already Run(1) Quest Instance Data(14) Quest Runtime Data(354) Quest Objectives(137) Quest Stages(197), so my quest code is 1D663307) 
5. Type: sqs 1D663307 (replace the character code you searched for here) to look up the quest stages 
6. Check your quest stages, completed quest stages will show 1, uncompleted stages will show 0 (using pgup/pgdn keys to turn the page), my code shows Stage 180:1 Stage 190:0 
7. So if I want to advance the quest to the next step I need to type :setstage 1D663307 190

This method should work for the vast majority of cases where a task is stuck.

Hi, Ingun doesn't want to show me the door to the lab and just continues to have a dialogue with his family, and after the dialogue he goes to his room, ignoring the wild man and goes to bed, kicking me out

I assume you're getting the dialogue "That's good. He's in my laboratory. Follow me and I'll show you the door." If so, the stage should advance to 50 and Ingun is given an AI package to travel downstairs on stage 50. The only thing I can think of that would interfere with this is if Ingun has been put in an AI package with a higher priority by another mod.  The next couple of scenes also have Ingun move around a bit, so they're not likely to work either. You can try advancing the stage to 55 (setstage BLZR_Riften 55) but you might have to advance to stage 80 to skip Ingun's travel scenes completely.

This should work fine, but all I'm doing is changing Elisif's clothes temporarily. Would that really cause blackface?

Once the Balazar's Revenge quest ends, you can do any of the Riften, Solitude and Markarth quests in any order. So, if you've done all three, then there's nothing further until the next update. If you haven't done the Solitude or Markarth quests yet, speak to the Jarl in those cities (with Balazar present in dremora form) to start those quests.

 

As for the collar, have you changed collars in the past? (I did see a bug here - if you ask about changing collars for the first time and then decide not to change collars, you don't get the option again. I will fix this bug.)

The problem is that the quest doesn't progress after this and the map marker remains on Balazar.

After the dialogue, "You should undertake this mission. I will remain here and watch for Forsworn invaders. " there is another line of dialogue: "About this collar I'm wearing..." This line of dialogue leads to Balazar removing your collar - to improve your disguise. There are three lines of dialogue, conditioned on which of Balazar's three collars you have equipped. It sounds like you don't have any of the three equipped.  I could add a fourth option for no collar I guess, but Balazar is assuming you are wearing one.

As noted above, this part of the mod just gives Ingun an AI "Travel" package on stage 50. I don't know what else could interfere with this.  The next couple of scenes also have Ingun move around a bit, so they're not likely to work either. You'll probably have to advance to stage 80 to skip Ingun's travel scenes completely (setstage BLZR_Riften 80).

For this, you need "ZaZ 8.0+". In this case, the "+" is part of the name and so 8.0+ does not mean 8.0 or higher. You have to have the version called "ZaZ 8.0+".

The outfit itself cannot cause blackface. As it is, it's the lack of a generated face or a mod that changes it, but while another mod does, it overwrites it and causes blackface.

There is an easier way to determine quest stage status. Just open the console and type "player.sqs <questname>"

 

Of course, replace <questname> with the name of the quest. For this mod, the main quest names are:

 

BLZR_Dialogue <-- Balazar's Bitch

BLZR_Quest <-- Balazar's Revenge

BLZR_Riften <-- Riften's Skooma Whore

BLZR_Riften2 <-- The Pit Bitch

BLZR_Markarth <-- Secrets of the Forsworn

BLZR_Solitude1 <-- The Demon Whore

BLZR_Solitude2 <-- The Party Favor

BLZR_Solitude3 <-- Forbidden Knowledge

BLZR_Solitude4 <-- The Frozen Lands

 

Then "setstage <questname> <queststage>" can be used to advance the quest.

 

[wscwsc]

A warning to others because you can ruin your save if you try to activate a 2nd jarl questline. I only had the frozen lands left for solitude but on my way to riften I talked to the jarl to start hers. From now on every action would require 5 seconds of real time to do (open a door, lock, check inventory, switch item, SL scene would need 30+ seconds to just start)

 

Have no idea how to fix, I wish I had not saved over. It'd like to know if I can kill the quest altogether somehow. 

 

Up until this point the mod was smooth ride and quite enjoyable too.

[Nov4seline]

Hey I have a problem with the quest  Secrets of the forsworn "Find a fish egg in the deep pool at the end of the cavern" Sex scene is not loading and I get this message to the concole- [cf][creature apply] not activating ["slaughterfish" [actor < (16f08c85)> ]]; creature isn`t registered; race=["slaughterfish" [race <slaughterfishrace (00013203>]] skin=["" [armor < (0004124a)]]

Thats a user issue and I would appreciate the help if someone could tell me how to fix that.

I pick the eggs but the quest wont move forward. Normally that wouldnt be a problem and I would just use a setstage to move to the next stage but in this case it doesnt work.  Again this is probably a user issue but the help would be appreciated.

For easier testing, could you consider having an hidden category on the mod page with this list?

It is soooo nice to be able to quickly do getstage and to do setstage when things are not working. 😜

It sounds like you don't have a slaughterfish animation. That animation advances the quest, and without that picking the egg doesn't further advance the quest.  Stage 288 is the stage you bring the egg back to the Spriggan. So, if you set that stage and have at least one slaughterfish egg in your inventory, the Spriggan should have the next dialogue and everything should proceed (assuming you have a spriggan animation). So, try 'setstage BLZR_Markarth 288' and then talk to the Spriggan.

Will do.

Have a new game to avoid my previous script lag. One thing I'd suggest is a check on naked in the MCM or just checking exclusively the chest slot so we can avoid having slots taken by jewelry, piercings, ect counted as clothed.
