[WIP] Shadows of Arousal (Advice from modders needed)

[calranthe]

Hello, this will be my first mod so I am keeping it simple as a test for myself, if this works then I will spend some of my spare time which I have a lot, actually modding and creating something to give back for all the hours of joy that Loverslab has given to me.

 

What is it all about ?

The idea that the world of Skyrim is not only alive but empathic, it reacts to you, your actions and feelings this could be a field a cave or a house literally any cell in the game.

 

 

Stage 1

As the player wanders the world and stays in certain places for more than a few hours then the world around them has a chance to react, it will start as something as simple as a line of text. Example "the air seems to warm up around you" "A gentle throb is felt through the earth"

 

Stage 2

If you stay in that same place other things may happen depending on your feelings and history, you may be overcome with need to masturbate or a wild animal may appear, devices as in sex toys may appear fun but nothing that is character harming.

 

Stage 3

At this stage you could end up loosing control of your character having it absorbed by the ground in a sexy sort of way or you could end up dragging other people into this nest.

 

I want to hook this into Sexlab and the arousal mod also estrus could work well with this as well as defeat and submit.

 

Basic premise is that it will hook into Sexlab's diary and the arousal mod to decide how quickly events may happen and what direction they may take after all if your character spends most of her time being raped and bestiality nothing wrong with that but it may take this mod into a darker space.

 

If you spend a lot of time in a house, then it opens up ideas like the doors could be locked or you end up stuck on the bed being molested by tentacles.

 

 

To Mod people

I am new to modding I just downloading the creation kit. any tutorials I should look at, any youtubes or who I should talk to.

 

The first part of this mod is very simple as In depending on your arousal level and the sexlab diary I am one of those people that learns best by taking apart what has already been done so any links or suggestions for me is a good thing.

 

I do not mind hard work or trying till I get it right but what should I look at first ?

 

I have installed the prerequisites and just looking through the wiki now.

 

Proof of concept

Create a script which keeps a track of where you are and how long you are in that "cell" checks this against the sexual diary and arousal system.

 

 

 

 

**Notes***
I just made my first follower in the CK nothing to do with this mod really just an oh wow that wasn't too hard moment.

While I have figured out the basics of the CK the implimentation of what I want to do is causing me to go "hmmmm"

It is a simple idea to start with
A script that checks your arousal level and the sex diary values
Checks how long you have been in a "cell"
Results

The results as of now will simply be a text based response a little like the "vibration" comment from the naughty devices.

So if someone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.


Okay so I've learnt how to create followers, place objects in game, create new objects and add small scripts to them which doesn't really help me but was fun.


Okay so lets start putting down some Weirdness please don't laugh I have no real idea what I am doing or getting myself into this is not papyrus, I am just putting down a basic idea of what I want to do that will be refined as I learn what the hell I need and know.

Debug.MessageBox("A strange feeling comes upon you as if the world itself is taking notice of you")

When the mod is activated in MC that is the first event I want the player to see but I would prefer it not to be in a box, would prefer it as a timed message in the top left hand corner, still trying to figure out something as simple as that.

I know that Skyrim tracks a huge amount of variables and to start with lets keep it simple
Number of people killed
Number of sexual acts
Arousal number
time in cell/location

Yes I want to include a huge amount of details later but this is a proof of concept so lets see how I can go about doing this. I am assuming the above numbers are readily available from code variables.

Also assuming number values for these amounts are int so lets say

Int1 = whatever
Int2 = whichever
int3 = thataswell
int4 = timewilltell


Then the simple complicated part of working out a scale but for now lets just go with basics

Calculatethings
if int1 + int2 + int3 = sum
sum calculations decide naughty or nice scale

If int4 <= 6 hours stage 0
int4 <=12 hours stage 1
int4 <=18 hours stage 2

looks good

i think that i shall follow this with interest

This sounds like an interesting idea from what I can tell after reading this thread. But I think I didn't quite get it yet.

 

So basically it will be a mod that influences nature in a way that - should your character make the "mistake" of staying at the same place for too long - it will drag the PC deeper and deeper into a world of lust? In a literal way? Because at some point I think I read something about "absorbed by the ground" or anything.

 

Or is it caused by creatures or "dark forces" that lurk in the shadows and just need their time to gather enough energy to take control of the PC?

 

It definetely sounds interesting but I would love some more information about this idea.

Hello,

Let me try to explain it in a better way.

 

3 Main parts to the system

 

1)We take a lot of the variables available to us from both inside the sexlab system and the main games, this allows the system to track what kind of player you are or what kind of experiences your character gets up to, I will also try to create a detailed MCM system so that people can decide on the systems difficulty and "kinks"

This gives us a "type" of stage

 

2)Time based on location 

 

3)Stages.

 

How I envision it working, bypassing the technical stuff:

 

Your actions have awakened the spirit of the world, now this spirit is not a rational or intent, it is purely coming in to being from your actions, you are coloring the world you inhabit.

 

Powerful emotional events like death, lust and violence.

 

Lets take it to the goal I have of it if I can get past the scripting side.

 

It will start off very subtle whispers, a caress of the wind, dark feelings or foreboding nothing tangible almost like the creaks of an old house.

 

It will grow in intensity both in action and feelings.

 

Yes It could end up with your character being absorbed by the earth below your camp site, you could end up being molested in your own home, raped or bound by creatures, you could be hunted by an invisible revenant or you could find yourself drawn into a trap, seduced, broken.

 

One of the final solutions I would love to have is your home becomes sentient and it becomes a battle of wills, emotion and physical, if you win then you have an ally, if you loose then you become enslaved by the house/area.

 

Does that explain it a little more.

 

At the moment I am butting my head against CK and papyrus but I really think this is worth doing and if I hook it properly with help into the other mods built around sexlab it could be amazing.

Anything that adds random chances of 'peril' rather than being player initiated is a plus in my books

 

Sounds like there's some good ideas for new animations here too, though I'm guessing that would take a lot more work than trying to reuse existing ones.

[Adam Jensen]

Woah woah woah, let me see if I got this right. What you are saying is that not only humans/elves, animals, want to have sex with you, now SKYRIM itself wants to have sex with you!?!?!? o.o

Fun isn't it ? and the more "inventive" or "experienced" your character is the bigger the hit you will take from this.

[Ashra XIII]

I can only begin to imagine how difficult something like this will be to script. It sounds pretty cool though, as I too would enjoy the idea of the peril my character gets into being more out of her hands and unexpected in nature.

 

My house turning against me sounds terrifying, though.

[GECK.O]

It sound similar to SexLab RandomAttacks.

Hey, thanks for that quick and detailed answer.

 

The way you explained I am TOTALLY loving it already! I really hope that you are able to realise your idea and find people who can script and are willing to help you, godspeed to you and your project!

[Justoutthere]

Idea sounds awesome but I have a concern.

 

How often as a player do you actually hang around in one location other than at the start where you are busy trying to get yourself a starting base to work from?

 

For me the longest time I hang around in one location in in jail during Prison overhaul, other than that I am very much a whats next on the to do list type of player, perhaps some kind of how often do you visit a place rather than how long have you been at a place might be an option to consider.

 

A final note, kudos on taking up the challenge of creating something new. I took one look at CK and cried hopefully your example will give me the impetus to have another go
