Great fun mod to play through! Is the part 3 quests with Riften, Solitude & Markarth the last content for this quest? Is more content planned to be added or is that the end of the mod? Once the 3 city quests are done....the original part 3 quest involving raising balazar's influence doesn't get marked as completed....hence asking..

Thanks. That's the end of the current version, but not the end of the mod. The plan is add Jarl quests for Windhelm and Whiteun, and then another daedric-related quest after that.

I absolutely loved this quest so far but running into some issues in "Part 2" now. No matter how many times I whore'd my player out in Riften, nothing happened. I had to use a command I found in another thread to advance that quest, which was fine. But now, I'm unable to get Balazar any clothes? There's zero dialogue options for the tailor in Solitude. She's just rude and that's it lol.

Did you finish the Riften quest? I assume you did and the "clothes" quest started if you've gone to the tailor. For the tailor, you need Balazar there and in Dremora form (got to measure those horns). Perhaps that's the issue?

I just got home and will try again boss. I only got through the Riften quest because of a command. It just wouldn't update. I think my poor Nord slept with about 30 people for a measly 50 gold each before I gave up and used the command lol

That does seem to be the issue. He's not following me from Mistveil Keep to Solitude and there's no dialog to get him to follow me or anything.

 

Edit: I used the moveto command to get him to the tailors and now he has wandered off and I can't find him lmao

An update for Animal Research is currently being developed, so an update for Balazar will not come too soon.

Could you please make an optional book mod which features the description of every sex scene? I tried to find the files by extracting the mod. Is there a way to read them?

It should be sufficient to uncheck Stop on Direction Change under the Directional Movement tab. But if that doesn't work, yes, turn it off for this part. The mod only controls the PC during this "Pit Bitch" quest.

I'm having the same problem, and disabling TDM didn't really help.

 

For me, after getting teleported to the cave, first time all events triggered fine. But I had an issue related to a different mod, so I had to reload a previous save (it was from just before getting teleported to the cave).

 

Since then, I can't get it to work right anymore. Every time I get to the part when the orc and the nord are done taking advantage of my PC, they all just stand there and nothing is happening.

 

I also noticed that my PC is continuing to be AI controlled *while* being in the sex scene with the orc and the nord, causing the animations to be heavily misaligned. I'm sure that's not normal...

 

Any suggestions please?

 

 

Update:

 

I managed to get through it by just waiting 1-2 mins while in the text prompts before clicking "OK" to dismiss them. It looks like all the events just need more time to conclude otherwise it breaks things. Also the AI control thing is really buggy. My character is just walking while bumping into walls all the time and it takes forever to complete. Eventually the game just teleports my PC to the final location because she gets "lost" walking around forever. This is with TDM disabled btw. I dunno, is it just me? Is this working correctly for everyone else?

 

Update #2:

 

Turns out the AI controlled walking was indeed caused by TDM. It's just that it's not enough to uncheck "Stop on Direction Change", or to disable TDM.

You also need to uncheck "Face Crosshair During Auto-Move" (discussed in this thread).

 

In addition, the latest release of TDM addresses this very issue:

Quote

        Version 2.2.6
            Fixed rare issue where the player would walk in the wrong direction while AI controlled <--
            Added BFCO attack events to the attack phase recognition logic
            Added melee magnetism while blocking
            Added compatibility with the upcoming Dodge Framework

I was running version 2.2.5

 

Updating to version 2.2.6, and changing the aforementioned settings fixed the problem.

Hey, I'm having some trouble with a new issue now. After completing the Riften Quest, I'm not getting any update on the main quest "Balazar's Emissary".

 

I tried using console commands to fix it by manually advancing the quest's stages. I took reaching to stage 20 for it to update and give a new objective of "Gain Balazar favor with the Jarl of Windhelm".

 

The issue is, talking to Ulfric gives no new dialogues regarding the quest. I also tried talking to his steward, and Galamar. No way to progress the objective.

 

Manually advancing the quest stages gave no updates either.

 

Did I do something wrong, or is this really broken? Would appreciate any advice... thanks!

At the moment only Solitude, Markarth and Rift have quests to Gain Balazar favour from Jarls.

 

Just go to the jarl listed above with Balazar in the form of Dremora.

Thanks! Yeah I already completed the rest of the holds... was just a bit confusing that no quest updates were given after finishing the last one 😅

So for now you can wait for next update.

I doubt it's the Demon Whore quest. That ending stage does nothing but mark the quest completed and start the next quest. On the other hand, when the Party Favor quest starts, it makes a number of changes to the Thalmor embassy area as mentioned above. I don't see much in the way of worldspace mods in your load order. Maybe the Dibella mod? Is that the Sisterhood of Dibella quest? That one does make some worldspace mods. You could try disabling it.

 

Was there ever a fix for this? Having the same issue. If it helps, this is the first time I've gone anywhere near the Thalmor - including their embassy. The Demon Whore ends, and then I crash immediately after when the Party Favour starts. 

 

I can try to set stage to the party favour, and doing so crashes the game too - so it's definitely being crashed by whatever changes are being made to the embassy. I don't have any mods that affect the embassy.

Did you end the Riften quest by speaking to the Riften Jarl after escaping from the bandit den with Balazar?: ("That skooma gang won't be bothering Riften anymore.")

 

If so, you get asked whether you want to remain a Riften whore or not. Assuming you don't, the following script runs:

 

GetOwningQuest().SetStage(360) ; this marks the Riften Jarl quest as completed.
Quest2.SetObjectiveCompleted(10) ; this marks the "Gain Balazar favor with the Jarl of Riften." objective in the Balazar's Emissary quest completed.
BLZR_RiftenFavor.SetValue(1) ; this means that Balazar has won the Riften Jarl's favor and he won't be attacked in Riften
BLZR_RiftenWhore.SetValue(0) ; this means the PC can no longer solicit in Riften
BLZR_QuestActive.SetValue(0) ; this means that no Jarl quest is active - which means Balazar can be dismissed
ClothesQuest.SetStage(10) ; this starts the Balazar clothing quest

 

You can try setting any or all of these manually with the equivalent console commands:

 

setstage BLZR_Riften 360

SetObjectiveCompleted BLZR_Quest_2 10 1

set BLZR_RiftenFavor to 1

set BLZR_RiftenWhore to 0

set BLZR_QuestActive to 0

setstage BLZR_NewClothes 10

 

Also, Balazar should already be following at this point, but you can make Balazar follow with this console command:

 

set BLZR_Following to 1

 

Final note: When you dismiss Balazar, he teaches you a spell to summon him back. This spell is also useful if he gets lost or stuck somewhere, so it's not a bad idea to dismiss him and summon him back just to get the spell.

Are you using True Directional Movement? If so see posts below about need for new version and certain settings.

That's a bit of work. The descriptions are scattered in various mod scripts. The source files for these scripts have a .psc extension, but they're just normal text files, and they are all packed with the mod, so it should be possible to find them all (and perhaps cut and paste them into a text file). If you want to find them (and perhaps cut and paste them into a text file), the source files are all in the "source" folder, and the sex scene descriptions are all plain text in the files. The relevant commands all look like this:

 

Debug.MessageBox("Some plain text description of the sex here.")

I haven't seen anything posted. The Party Favor quest is BLZR_Solitude 2, and it starts on stage 10, which sets up the embassy.

 

Basically, the following happens:

 

1) the three party carriages are enabled, and the three carriage drivers are enabled. This is all vanilla stuff. I'm just enabling the same stuff that's used for the Diplomatic Immunity quest.

 

2) The front gate is disabled. So you can get in.

 

3) The barracks door is unlocked. If you have brought anything with you (despite being told not to), the guards put it in the barracks, so it's important you can get in if you want it back.

 

4) The vanilla front door to the embassy is disabled and a mod front door is enabled in its place - so you can go to an alternate mod-added embassy interior when you use the door.

 

5) New mod-added NPCs are enabled: Corwen, gate guard, Falstomo, Othello (if Ancano is dead).

 

6) And finally, the patrolling wall and courtyard guards are disabled, because they like to start fights.

 

So, it's a lot, but this is all standard stuff, enabling and disabling objects, and unlocking doors. I can't imagine any of its causing a CTD unless something that's being enabled has a bad texture. Maybe try reinstalling the mod?
