Devious Devices - Captured Dreams Shop v4.15 - files removed

The second expansion quest made me sick to my stomach in a way no mod or quest ever has. I had to uninstall the mod. I'm not saying it's bad in any way, just that I found out it wasn't for me awful fast.

I was in a rage afterwards...but my character took it out on every Thalmor patrol I've seen since.

 

The player was also...annoyed, but after a few posts, I'm satisfied that it served a story purpose and wasn't just a lot of rape for no good reason...though it damaged my character's AND the player's trust in Master.

 

Its VERY easy to see where that quest can go bad for someone...though if you can console through that, I HIGHLY recommend playing the next two...no sex necessarily involved.

Still trying on my own to get a perfectly good mesh to fit an almost perfect CBBE body:

 

Using an ancient BSA unpacker I extracted the NIF's, broke the game, reinstalled the skeleton, FIXED the game,

Then used caliente's bodyslide CBBE thingy to mess with the corset.

 

I'm stuck on turning the CBBE model around to see the back.

I can zoom, just not rotate.

Bottom line, The corset looks fine in the front, but has big holes in back.

If I ever get that fixed (It starts looking easy and gets impossibly hard) ,

I will move on to the partitions thing.

Caliente's tool might do everything, I just don't wanna spend the next three years learning how.

 

I want to mention that in my showracemenu body-slides, there is no slider for "belly" (or thighs)

Only glutes, biceps and breasts. (and whatever comes included with it)

I think to rotate you left right click and drag it the direction you want to rotate the body.

 

The settings I made are best if used with the CBBE HDT body, there are some differences with other CBBE bodies.

 

Even if there were sliders for those parts in the race menu they would adjust the armor and other items as well as it scales everything.

Edit: In order to provide actual feedback I ought to explain what I didn't like, not just say I didn't like it.

Heavy spoilers.

 

I feel like the Master is the most horrible, villainous person in RPG history for the betrayal involved in that quest. She is up front and honest about her demands for weeks, up until she rents you to your worst enemy without telling you, providing them the instruments of your actual not-at-all unclear suffering. Then, when you get back, you don't get an apology. Okay, didn't really expect one. You get no explanation, alright. You get a threat in the form of completely unstoppable godlike mind control tech. Even then I would be okay, except... she's also completely invulnerable. I get the feeling I was supposed to either consider this quest par for the course, or to have considered the Master a monster from the start. I just feel blindsided, and a little sick.

 

 

In a way that's what makes this mod so great. I had a similar reaction and if I could I would have put Master to the sword on the spot. It's just so rare to get that level of feeling out of a game, where most now are just bland shooters. This mod stands out as a masterpiece in that sense

 

You can still play the mod though as you can set the expansion to not kick in up to level 50, I figure by that time my pc would be pretty grizzled and cynical by then so it would not have the same effect on her

 

[aqqh]

I edited my post to explain myself.

 

Thanks for the response, but regarding your suggestion: I just don't think I can bring myself to reinstall.

Personally it's the third one i like the most from the whole mod 

it's short... but it's dom way was so tempting that even my subby character simply could not resist 

 

As for second quest it does stir emotions. It was supposed to be controversial.

Maybe it would be nice to make more dialogue options to reflect that your character trust in master got ruined and burned down to the ground. And that trust could be (or not) rebuild over time through quests that would come after.

Something like "De'Zra said to me once "Master is loyal to us as we are to her". What a fool i was to actually believe that...". Maybe some other way to reflect that you demand an explanation if not an apology.

 

Guess idea was that she did not do that just because she feels like it. It was considered as necessity. And this part could have been explained better - especially to those that roleplay dom characters. Even if it would be something cryptic like "It's sad that you do not understand what was that for. Maybe you will, in time..."

I have a problem with the errands quest. The first one usually leads me to falkreath and the bandits end up killing half of the town. Last try i managed to do the delivery and i was not near the bandits in town centre but they started a fight with town people and guards anyway. Changing the probabilty for bandits would probably solve this but i rather like this feature. Any  idea how to avoid the needless slaughter?

[Kendo 2]

Hmph.  And the Thalmor Quest was my favorite out of all of them, aside from the initial shock of the Free Trial and that 'HEY! WTF?!' moment I had.

[Adamantium93]

I had a weird bug after the Thalmor quest ended. I was brought back to the shop hogtied and laid on the ground outside (as intended) but my quest journal didn't update (it still says something like "I get to leave today"). Instead, the breadcrumb for the next quest immediately started (I hear the master has another task for me, I should talk to her about it). Inside, I was still hogtied and couldn't stand or move. Then, Herren started moving and I slid after him. He even went outside and started doing laps around the shop, and I kept sliding after him.

 

I used the reset options to give me control back (which had a temporary effect of keeping me in the armbinder struggle animation until I was finally able to get it off), but of course I can't remove the harness without the console and the old quest won't finish.

 

I've tried reloading earlier saves and running through it again in case it was a one-time thing but there hasn't been any change.

Is your CD a fresh install or an upgrade from V2.82. I ask because I had similar problems after using an upgraded game as there were Bandit AI changes and in the end I just did a clean install and started a new game

How can I best "park" Erani at CD when I don't have a home to bring her to and don't want to take her with me as a follower?

They should not fight with anyone, they have a custom faction and are not in any others, bandit or otherwise.

Tell her to go home or go to work, all of her markers are set in the back bedroom of the Manor on the first floor.

[Veladarius]

I do plan on adding more dialogue options to the Embassy quest in v4 to give a larger range of options.

[DagonKel]

Veladarius.  This mod is one of the very few reasons I still play skyrim.  I tend to check daily just to see if anything is new.

You do an amazing job modding and you are also always here on the forums giving help and advice.

 

I just wanted to give you a deep and heartfelt... Thank You.

 

As always I look forward to the next update.

Same.  My next serious playthrough of Skyrim will coincide with the next major update to this mod.  For now though it's getting familiar with Bodyslide and test runs for other mods that may also find their way into the queue.

Thanks, i probably messed up the installation. Will try a fresh one with the latest version.

[Kerna]

have a question will updating this mess with the quest progression I've made?

 

I don't think I could go through expq02 again but I will say expq03 almost made up for it as a Dom but one thing I'd also like is:

 

 

a quest to somehow get Elisf's amulate

 

in lore way: she at first agrees to the agreement mentioned in the quest but later reneges on the deal and you are sent by the master to "remind" her a deals a deal

Updating should not cause an issue, the only quest script change is on the 4th Expansion quest (if you are currently doing it then wait).

 

As for the other:

 

 

I have plans for Elisif later on.

 

 

[Mr.H32]

Okay, I'm having kind of a wieerd issue with the expansion quest. After I 'entertain', (polite term for varitable orgy), Elenwen's embasy guards, Ailus comes in, does her thing, followed by Eleswen entering the room and scolding her for disobeying orders. Ailus, at a loss for word stands trying to explain, and the scene fades out. After that it fades back in with the pc standing in the cell in the dungeon. The cell door is open, Ailus is in the cell next to me, (sometimes with armor, sometimes without), and there are two gaurds down there with us. One stops outside the cell, and the other walks past towards the stair case in the corner of the room on the right facing out of the cell. He gets stuck on the barrels, while the guard who stopped outside the cell waves his hand, (I believe this is the default 'give' animation), and nothing happens. The door stayes open, he says nothing, no one move at all, (not frozen, just standing). He repeats the gesture every once in a while, and i can't figure out how to get him to continue. I've tried going through it all about four or five times now.

 

Now, that's the problem, but I was thinking that it might be possible to bypas the glitch by using the 'setstage' command in the console, but I don't know the quest ID for the expassion or the stage ID that I'm stuck at. Pluss I don't know if this will have any adverse effects on the whole 'Meeting Ailus' part of things. I don't know if this would work or break the quest.

 

Any suggestions or bug fixes would be appreciated, thanks.

The quest is CDxExpQuest02, although I've never had luck with setstage in that quest, if I get stuck, I revert save normally, But you said you've tried getting past it a few times already.

 

Since it's replicable, posting your papyrus log might show some error when the scene tries to play, might tell us something.

 

I'm guessing you have either a broken script or a conflicting mod since most people don't have this issue.

 

If you have the time, I would test it with a brand new character to see if it's the result of a corrupted save with bad scripts. I'm not saying you should scrap your old save just test it first with a fresh stateless character., it narrows the likely causes if the problem still persists on a saveless character. You can quickly test this on a new character with:

"coc CapturedDreamsShop" followed by

"setstage cdxexpquest02 20" to allow you to start the quest with master, once you talk to her

"coc ThalmorEmbassyExterior03" puts you in walking distance of the embassy

If nothing happens at the end of a coc, then you typed the name wrong, or I typed it wrong here.

That part is handled by a scene not a script, the guard walks over to a barrel, then comes back to the player. typically if the guard gets stuck the game will jump him past whatever is blocking his way.

 

 

Edit: You can try saving it there and reloading it, since there is no script running there it may get it unstuck.

I tried saving and loading it from the cell, the guard doesn't move, either of them. I might try enabling player controls, then using the 'tc' command on the barrel guard, (he's just standing at the barrels, not doing anything), then givving the ai back control, or just resetting the NPC's ai, but I don't think that'll do it. I'll try loading it a few more times, and I might try it with a new save, but somehow I get the feeling that it's just a hit or miss on computers part, though I can't think why.

Thanks by the way, I'll let you know If I have any luck

The second expansion quest made me sick to my stomach in a way no mod or quest ever has. I had to uninstall the mod. I'm not saying it's bad in any way, just that I found out it wasn't for me awful fast.

Then, when you get back, you don't get an apology. Okay, didn't really expect one. You get no explanation, alright. You get a threat in the form of completely unstoppable godlike mind control tech. Even then I would be okay, except... she's also completely invulnerable. I get the feeling I was supposed to either consider this quest par for the course, or to have considered the Master a monster from the start. I just feel blindsided, and a little sick.

 

 

She did send you to your worst enemy, Elenwin...but why do you think you only had to entertain some Thalmor guards and have a few chats with Elenwin?  Master was testing how you responded, and Master also knew that you would be returned after a few days, maybe a bit more sore than you were, but no severe harm.  Because despite her tossing you to your enemies, she also made sure you'd be mostly safe.  It severely challenges your trust in Master, your belief in her ethics, but it leaves enough there that you can believe that its not completely broken.

 

The mind control tech is mentioned in a threatening way...but when Master takes the restraints off at the end of the quest...all you have to do is walk away.  Though I dislike that level of MC being tossed in, but my submissive has no intention of disobeying Master...barring something much worse than the Thalmor embassy.

 

 

I still highly recommend the fourth quest...it somewhat helps to restore your opinion of Master.  And the third is just the most romantic thing I've ever played in any game, I cried.  Really.

[MonaBabii]

Hey Finally updated SexLab and gave a few new mods a run, along with some updates for mods (this one included ) and I'm enjoying the updates a ton so far Great job!

 

Also wanna report a tiny typo In the first quest you get for the Jarl of Falkreath, the line where he says something like "In case you... something something... keys some-place else" (awful memory, sorry), that "In" is lacking the N, so the sentence reads something like "I case you blah blah".

Sorry I can't be any more specific, I do have a terrible memory lol, but I think you can pinpoint the right sequence just fine unless that quest is some sort of Radiant thingy and the characters involved in my quest were chose randomly? If so then I guess I can always go in and try to check things in an older save

 

Would like to mention the typo doesn't bother me in the least just figured I'd mention it for the sake of perfecting the mod =D

 

Cheers and thanks again for the work!

[eric_starbuck]

I finally managed to get released from the free trial and started the expansion quests yesterday.

 

The first one is ok, the purpose is to introduce the mind control artefact. unfortunately it does not involve the player too much. (I would have to try with the other jarl.)

 

The second one works pretty well, I got stuck just 3 times: 1st in the cell after the fisting, the guard awaking with water got imprisoned with me in the cell i had to open the door with the console command to let him out and progress in the quest by touching the chair.

 

The next issue was on the horse torture thing… the character just got stuck instead of climbing it. (then I reloaded and it worked, beside the misalignment with all 3 devices, just the pole was aligned correctly).

 

Then it was quite late but I wanted to try the next phase. The dinner was ok but when in Elenwin chambers, after the first sex scene she puts the armbinder and something goes wrong. The arms are cut at elbows and I got control of the character. Being able to start dialogues and going around. At first I thought that she dismissed me and I had to make return to master.

 

As I told you it was very late and I couldn’t reload and try again. I will do it tonight if I can.

 

All of this without a single CDT, instead when I enter the shop I always have the risk, at least 50% of CDT. (when I enter I can see for a few seconds the naked slaves and only after a few time the devices applied to them… I think there are too many objects for my pc). Now i am afraid that with the increased number of people around it will be impossible for me to get even close to the shop from the outside.

 

 

[Delzaron]

It's possible te get revenge for the second expenseion quest ?

 

My cannibal bosmer chaman/werewolf is quite submissive (in human form off course), but no enough to accept this treatment whitout revenge : coming back, making a pile of bodies, torture and kill elenwen, and the CD master after !.

I tried, change into werewolf side of the guards, kill them all, and no one react... Elenwen has no reaction for the character coming back.

 

Myabe it can be a good idea to implemente that.
