Curse of Life - Alternate Pregnancy Mod

[Fairwyn]

Major update posted last night and the mod is now officially out of Alpha!  Lots of polish and new features so let me know what you think.

Any chance you could disable the starting book item? Maybe you could just drop it into the player inventory if the player selects to do so via the MCM.

Heck, I can just remove it for now.  It was mostly a test item and really has nothing in it but a slight hint.

Good time of the day!
I installed the mod in my current playthrough on a character that was fully transformed by Being a Cow mod plus also being a max level MilkMaid.
Is my character supposed to produce "Simple Milk" (50 hp 0 weight one) basically every minute or so, or its tied to the lactation rates (that are currently heavily boosted due to mods mentioned above)?

Hmm, nope, my mod doesn't interact with those mods like that.  At default rate, it should be only one milk every 4 days.  Even at 10x, that should be only 2.5 per day.... so uh, let me check and see what's going on.

A little update - after I played a little bit more and producing around 13 Simply Milk (as well as increasing the update timer to 60 seconds) it seem to have stop, at least for now. Really weird.

I released a small version update that fixes the bug.  It was basically accidentally accumulating stacks of milk even when not cursed or blessed, and then every half hour handing them out.

Also in the new release, the book is turned off.

How well do this mod and MME play together? I noticed there is some interaction, but do they require SLIF to not fight against each other?
EDIT: Is there any setting I need to choose when installing the P.A.I.A mods?

Loving the mod so far, though I'm curious if it'll be at all possible to let us choose our own morphs?

This mod triggers the Milk Maid status on the player once a pregnancy starts.  Other than that, as for morphs, if you don't want to use SLIF, you can just adjust the sliders in the mod to your liking.

 

Edit: Use the Egg Factory settings for P.A.I.A because mine is not officially supported yet.

Thank you!  What particular morphs are you missing?  I have no problem adding additional ones to the settings within reason.  I'd rather not add a free input option because it makes it harder to insure someone doesn't accidentally break things.

Hey Y'all, I'm having issues updating to the newest version. Updating from alpha 1.13, I just overwrote the old version but the MCM won't update for me. Also, how do you get blessed eggs? Is it just done by praying to a deity? It doesn't seem to do anything for me. Thanks in advance!

If the MCM title page still has the old version number but you see the new settings, you're fine.  Sometimes that variable gets cached and likes to be stubborn about updating even if I properly clear it.

 

Most vanilla altars should work for getting a prayer started and that is indeed how you get Blessed Eggs.  If things don't seem to be firing, try disabling the mod in MCM, saving, closing Skyrim, and then re-enabling the mod.  You can also see if things are working correctly using the debug options.  If it's still giving you problems, PM me and I can try to help you.

Version 2.2 is up with also a new bonus plugin, Blessed Quests.

 

It only has one quest available for now, but it has full Toys&Love integration.  Happy New Year!

I will not be partaking with the optional part due to the Toys requirement - That series of mods seems to be dead mods with no work being done on them in a long time. The Discord just seems ot only have spammers with their phishing links on them

RIGHT?!  One of the reasons I kept it optional...  I'm entirely open to alternatives with decent APIs if you know of something better though.  The way I wrote the plugin, it would be simple to just swap out the items and do something else as the content is my own code that doesn't even call the Toys API.  I mostly just need something that fills in what I lack... which is decent assets and animations.  I looked at Devious Devices but holy crap that one was daunting.

Yeah DD is a scary one. The only issue for Toys is the lack of development/maintenance. You never know when Toddy decides its patch time in order to break all teh modz!

I'll probably try to join the dev discord for DD NG and see if I can go that route and try not to whimper too loudly. lol

Disabling it and re-enabling it seems to have gotten it to work properly. Thanks so much! Great mod

I would say add a Sexlab version of the new quest. Toys & Love is part of the Toys Framework, which is just as much an alternative animation framework as it is a "devices" framework like DD. I know you said in the changelog that you are making it optional because you don't want users to have to "download all of Sexlab" but Toys is separate from Sexlab and doesn't even have it as a requirement.

 

A DD version I suppose.

Hi, for sgo 4 - if, the milk mode also works (the mod is in development too). The problems of scaling milk and breast were excessive, I edited the setting in the sgo mode itself, but not particularly successfully. I'm just letting you know))))))

I did get some great direction from the DD guys, so that'll be where I go with the quest mods for sure.  I didn't even realize that Toys doesn't even use base animation framework, that's interesting.

Yeah... if other mods aren't playing nice, the best thing I can say is to adjust the sliders in my mod (hell, even just set them to 0% or tick the 'Hide Inflation' setting) because I don't know how well the other mods handle morphs

Yeah, it was supposed a complete alternative and then just stopped one day
