Ok, i´ve tried everythink and it wont work.

I can see the door to the club but its closed and i dont have the MCM (wich means the script is not loading correctly?)

I have all the dependences (without the devious devices and such, cause it wont work together with prison overhaul)

 

I need help please, i would love to try this mod.

 

Thanks!

Finally made it!

I installed https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/77779 and now it works.

I can confirm that installing Papyrus Tweaks makes the mod working!

Hello, mod looks great but I feel like something is wrong with it on my end. Mistress accepts me, I get it on with Morana, go out, teleport back and.. nothing happens afterwards. Is that all of the main quest? Immediately afterwards started the submissive pet quests, which, if I understand correctly, should not start so soon, and mistress equips the pet collar on me, but I dont start crawling and nothing further happens. If i try to leave, she just gets mad.

Hallo, der Mod sieht toll aus, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass bei mir etwas nicht stimmt. Die Herrin akzeptiert mich, ich mache es mit Morana, gehe raus, teleportiere mich zurück und... danach passiert nichts. Ist das die ganze Hauptquest? Unmittelbar danach begannen die unterwürfigen Haustierquests, die, wenn ich das richtig verstehe, nicht so schnell beginnen sollten, und Herrin legt mir das Haustierhalsband an, aber ich fange nicht an zu krabbeln und es passiert nichts weiter. Wenn ich versuche zu gehen, wird sie einfach wütend. 

 

Take a look at the MCM -> Setting

 

To acquire the "Power of Lust" you have to

1) Increase your reputation in the club to 100

2) As a final test, satisfy the boss of the club (the succubus) sufficiently during sex

The "pet" quest is something extra -> for this you have to increase the submissive rank to 100

The bondage rank... well, the "mistress" explains this to the player - but the more bondage items you wear DURING SEX - the faster the rank increases

What you have to do -> have sex with the people in the club!

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I installed the mod and the club is visible but I can't find the key or activate the mission. What should I do?

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein Problem. Ich habe den Mod installiert und der Club ist sichtbar, aber ich kann den Schlüssel nicht finden oder die Mission aktivieren. Was soll ich tun?

 

Key?

 

Aha - no key... what does that mean? -> Check the MCM to see if this mod appears there at all.

 

If it doesn't appear there -> you CANNOT get into the club... because the mod wasn't initialized properly.

 

Otherwise just look at the top of this page...

At one point after receiving Lust the club reputation decreases every few moment and club debt goes up every few moments. I cant keep up with it. Is there a known conflict that makes this happen?

[Miauzi]

Vor 2 Stunden sagte BigOnes69:

Irgendwann nach Erhalt von Lust nimmt der Ruf des Clubs alle paar Augenblicke ab und die Schulden des Clubs steigen alle paar Augenblicke. Ich kann da nicht mithalten. Gibt es einen bekannten Konflikt, der dazu führt?

 

I would not have known this behavior.

 

But after receiving the "lust" power or the end of the pet quest, I also left the club... to go on quests with my companions (which have nothing to do with this mod)

 

Because I had bought some (enchanted) items of clothing for my vampire character in the club - and these require a corresponding "lust" to wear - the "lust" indicator decreases over time.

That the reputation is now also decreasing... may be - but I had not paid attention to that.

After a while, the "lust" indicator had dropped to zero - so I went back to the club and recharged it.

Since the bondage factor also determines how quickly this happens - I dressed my character almost completely in DD clothing.

 

In my opinion, the debts in the club arise from fines... i.e. when you influence "guests" with spells, for example.

It is possible that something activates the "lust power" and changes it so that the punishment mode is activated.

 

I even went to the club as a succubus and performed "non-lethal" withdrawal - even that did not trigger a punishment... because the sex was consensual.

Mod is great, but its very sad that the sexlab version is abandoned

[Miauzi]

Vor 8 Minuten sagte G1deon388:

Mod ist großartig, aber es ist sehr traurig, dass die Sexlab-Version aufgegeben wurde

 

for me the mod works with SexLab ... so what's the problem?

I didn't say the mod is bad or doesn't work with sexlab ,
I said it's sad that bugfixes and updates will be only for ostim version.

[Nopeman777]

How is sexual performance in the club calculated? Is it like number of orgasms or what? I ask because I would hope not to use SLSO if I can with this and still have a good reputation.

yeah I get that too, though you can run ostim with sexlab, probably a bit of animation trimming. I do recall hearing of a mod someplace to run ostim animations with sexlab, or the other way round, or maybe I dreamt it. The way clever folk are going with mods there may be patch for it one day.

yes, I've seen such a mod too. but installing ostim with addons for the sake of one mod is not a very good idea

[LearningNoob]

This mod is crazy good! 😻

 

But I get a very weird texture flicker in this location.

I haven't seen this anywhere else in Skyrim World with my current modlist.

The flicker depends heavily on camera angle and goes from zero flicker to a complete blue screen which I think is the background void color.

 

I am using NAT3 ENB with Lux. Disabling ENB effects still shows the flicker. I don't use DynDoLod and no other fancy lighting mods.

I also use Parallax and Auto Parallax. I disabled both and the flicker is still there.

 

This is a new game with an instant coc ddcircleoflustdungeon.

It looks like it breaks a limit somewhere in the rendering pipepline or as if there are some invalid textures or leaks.

 

Has anyone else noticed such a thing yet or might have an idea where to start looking?

Here is also a link to a small clip which shows the effect in its full glory (expires in 2 days).

do you uses any esp/esm based lighting optimizer/performance mods? Like ELFX

No ELFX. But I have a lot of optimizing stuff and bug fixes installed.

The only thing I notice is that the GPU Load goes to 100% when the flicker appears. GPU memory is under 50%.

My suspicion goes into the direction of the meshes or textures. Something in this cell must trigger this weird effect.

I also played around with LoD settings but didn't see any change.

 

I think I need to go the hard way and disable mods one by one and try to disassemble this cell to isolate the cause.

I was just curious if anyone had seen exactly this kind of glitch but I guess the propability is very low.

 

[LearningNoob]

This mesh looks also very interesting 😬

Essentially, the main area of the club is a "copy" of the "Temple of Heaven" in which "Alduin's Wall" is located - these "tubes" upwards are for the "natural" lighting aka daylight

Oh, thanks, thats good to know. I will check if I have the same flicker problems there too.

Yeah I figured that these tubes are for lighting and wondered if this might be the cause with my setup somehow.

Currently digging into NIFs and shaders. Every piece I touch in this game opens a new can of worms 😂

[Miauzi]

Vor 50 Minuten sagte LearningNoob:

 

Oh, danke, das ist gut zu wissen. Ich werde prüfen, ob ich dort auch die gleichen Flimmerprobleme habe.

Ja, ich habe mir gedacht, dass diese Röhren für die Beleuchtung gedacht sind und habe mich gefragt, ob das irgendwie an meinem Setup liegen könnte.

Beschäftige mich derzeit mit NIFs und Shadern. Jedes Stück, das ich in diesem Spiel berühre, öffnet eine neue Dose Würmer 😂

 

The flickering problems shouldn't exist in the original temple - you're basically alone with the two "blades" (Esben and the tavern owner of Riverwood)... there's nothing special there apart from the "outside light" from these shafts and the torches in your hand.

 

The club, on the other hand, is much more complex... actually too complex for the game's "engine". Nevertheless, I'm very impressed with what the mod author has achieved here!

 

I personally don't overvalue this - but I also decided against additional mods for lighting and the like... the story is more important to me than the "pretty looks".

I opened it in CK and wow crazy, there is so much stuff going on and I do not wonder anymore about my graphics glitches.

I am pretty sure my setup is at its limit. New PC coming soon 😃

 

How do you put more emphasis on the story aspect? More quest related mods with their own storylines or in the way you setup the game for your personal role playing experience? I am still in the exploring phase and trying all sorts of stuff but I am mostly visual oriented right now to achieve the best quality and look.

I think when I have a halfway stable and good looking environment I will dig deeper into stories and content.

Ich habe es in CK geöffnet und wow, verrückt, es ist so viel los und ich wundere mich nicht mehr über meine Grafikfehler.

Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass mein Setup am Limit ist. Neuer PC kommt bald 😃

 

Wie legen Sie mehr Wert auf den Story-Aspekt? Weitere Quest-bezogene Mods mit eigenen Handlungssträngen oder in der Art und Weise, wie Sie das Spiel für Ihr persönliches Rollenspielerlebnis einrichten? Ich bin immer noch in der Erkundungsphase und probiere alles Mögliche aus, aber im Moment bin ich hauptsächlich visuell orientiert, um die beste Qualität und das beste Aussehen zu erzielen.

Ich denke, wenn ich eine halbwegs stabile und gut aussehende Umgebung habe, werde ich mich tiefer mit Geschichten und Inhalten befassen.

 

 

I've been playing Skyrim since it came out around 13-14 years ago - I don't even know how many thousands of hours I have on "my watch".

 

Almost 2 years ago I decided - inspired by other authors of blog stories here in the forum - to create my own roll-play so that it becomes its own blog story.

 

 

For this I also use a number of story mods - the plot of which fits well into my story ... but which also allow me to interpret it in my own way.

The mod with this BDSM club is definitely part of a scenario that extends over several chapters - which is in the detailed conception ... here the location with its special atmosphere is very important to me.

I am very happy that the author took up his idea again and realized it ... because this club has a predecessor ("Dark Desire Club").

However, after a serious burnout he gave the mod to another mod author - but this one worked in his own sex framework ... the original "SexLab" was replaced by "Toys".

This is actually more stable and above all the separate orgasms of both (or several) protagonists are easier for the player "outside" in front of the screen to manage.

The background is various small mini-games that are put together to form a quest chain in the club... specifically -> the newbie must first learn how to properly satisfy the "guests".

Many people are more clever at using the required mod "Sexlab Separate Orgasm" (keyboard and mouse)... me too.

 

"Toys" does it much better - but as a framework it is not compatible with other mods (based on SexLab)... you can also install both and get them to work - but that is literally "above my pay grade"

 

That's why I'm very happy - that there is this mod based on SexLab... of course "FlowerGirl" or "Ostim" would also be easier - but they are also not compatible with all the mods (with BDSM content) based on "Devious Devices".

Thanks so much for these valuable insights! I just started reading your blog 😃

I think this club will now be my new playground to learn all this cool modding stuff.
