I know this has probably been said like 30+ times already, but I'll chime in again.

This looks fantastic, I only wish I was able to use these well crafted meshes in conjunction with Carn and CBO Unoffical because without those I'm basically cutting my game in half and it's just not worth it.

However with Simple Shafts being basically dead, and CBO running on an unofficial life support, this is great way to really step into the gap if this was made compatible.  

EDIT: I'm also really sick of the lazy looking CBO low effort dicks...

I am not really sure, though I always wanted to add additional bones to the body mesh, the only issue I have with that is that I also need to update the clothes which will bloat the file size. I am actually waiting for the new skeleton from pdx, hopefully they add in some breast and butt bones! Oh boy I would love to see that!

Other option is to make minimal size of genitals really small, and then just make clothes morph them to this minimum when they are on. So there is no need to change models of clothes, it's possible just change portrait clothes modifiers in

gfx\portraits\portrait_modifiers

For example, early for simple shafts i changed legwear modifiers into this:

    western_legwear = {

        dna_modifiers = {
            accessory = {
                mode = add
                gene = legwear
                template = western_common_legwear
                range = { 0 1 } # For the randomness to work correctly
            }
            morph = {
                mode = modify_multiply
                gene = gene_bs_penis_size
                value = 0.10
            }
        }    
        weight = {
            base = 0
            modifier = {
                add = 20
                portrait_western_clothing_trigger = yes
            }
        }
    }

It's easier, i think. Especially if there are CFP and EPE compatches.

@stephanmartins The Statues mod is prolly the one causing the issue in your mod list since it has court room updates and also has animations added to the character model. Could you disable the Statues mod and check if the animations will show?

Sooo I also tried this. Kept happening (or not happening, in this case). Then I uninstalled Better Duels hotfix and voilá... no more CTD. And animations!

[Jealous18]

So, this my load order, disabled everything but the CKD mod, still showing up as nubs.

Could you check if you are on vulcan? If so, try switching it to other renderer. In my game, I use DX11

[joe_centennial]

I meant to ask this but keep forgetting. Is this mod compatible with ROA and AEP?

I don't know if it's the same situation I had, but apparently just taking your clothes off doesn't trigger the fact that the character is naked so the penis is not visible. By going into the barbershop (I'm using Better Barbershop) and clicking the "Undress" button it actually sorts itself out and the penis is now visible.

The only annoyance is that the character tends to dress up after every sex scene or clothes change (for example when going to war). So you'll need to go into barbershop and "undress" him again. 

[kapsellola]

Fantastic work! By the way, will the premium content ever become public, in a year perhaps? Sorry if it sounds demeaning btw!

Will need compatches to run with cd3.

Is this for custom clothing? The new update will force the character to go naked when doing a cd3 animation which is great when your character wears custom clothes.

Maybe? I'm not really sure. But some of the animations will be added to the public version in the future, depends on how many supporters I would get.

Could you try with the new update? Also could you redownload the CFP mod on steam?

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear who I was responding to. It seems the problem me and other people were having with seeing a ken doll crotch is that even if you take off the pants and fig leaf, the game doesn't register the character as being naked, so the characters will have a Ken doll bulge instead of a penis. You have to check the "Undress" button for the mod to work and then you can add crowns, cloaks, whatever. Interestingly the clothes will also appear in the sex scenes, I figured this out when a guy was wearing a cape while being plowed doggy style.

The only annoying part is that after any cutscenes they'll get dressed up again, so if you want to have a naked throne room you'll have to be constantly getting people to undress again.

Have you considered making Bottoming/Topping skill into a tiered trait? It could help the player see their skill level instead of hiding it as a variable. Maybe also give a few small benefits after hitting a certain XP? (Attraction and such)

Yeah, it will be a lifestyle trait. Maybe up to 3 tiers (25, 75 and 100). I am missing some terminologies though, like what to call it and the tiers.

Could be generic, such at Novice, Intermediate, Expert and Legendary Bottom/Top with some flavour text descriptions. Cool to hear you’re adding them in tho!

[Lord Bohemond]

The new update adds the Sex Mastery lifestyle trait which will track sexperiences. This change should be compatible with your saves but it will reset all sexperiences.

Hey, just started playing with yesterday's update, and I'm encountering a weird bug.  I'm currently a Chieftain in Skane, meaning I don't currently have a royal court, BUT the sex interaction keeps bringing up a royal court I don't have and creates a "court event available" popup.  I obviously can't interact with the court, so I just close it and dismiss the popup.  I eventually get an "event timed out" notification.  It does appear that the sex part of the event is working in the background though, despite the visual component not working. Not causing me any issues otherwise.  LMK if there's any other info you need.  Looking forward to playing more with the new changes!  Thanks again.

 

**UPDATE: So, I just got a 3rd event, and this one does work, despite my not having a royal court yet. (I hope this is intentional bc it's so much more immersive!) I get the room and happenings, along with viewing options.  However, after I select a viewing option, the court event icon greys out, so I can only close the court again. Is that correct, or should I be able to click the icon and change the view again? As it stands now the event is ongoing and my game is locked because it seems like it thinks I'm supposed to be choosing something.**

I've had that issue before, turned out to be a problem with my load order.  Putting the mod files at the end, in the order recommended by the mod's download page, fixed it.

 

e: that load order being

CD3

CD3 Premium if you have it (highly recommend if you can spare Bohemond the cash, the extra animations are great)

CD3 - ARSL

CD3 - CFP (only enable this if you also use the Community Flavor Pack mod)

CD3 - EPE (only enable this if you also use the Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded mod)

@Lucien MDT All sex scenes (partner scenes) will use a Royal Court even if your character does not have RC. For the court event icon, do you mean the overhead icon in the Royal Court, that one is always grayed out in a cd3 sex scene. During the sex scene, you can change the view or click on the Exit option to conclude the event. You can change the view repeatedly without closing the Royal Court. When you want to end the event, you need to click on the Exit option in the event panel. You can also close the Royal Court, but that will not end the scene. The time is also paused. If you didn't click on the Exit option in the event panel and close the Royal Court, you can go back by clicking the notification at the top of the screen or press Spacebar - this should open the Royal Court and then click on the Exit option in the event panel to end the event. Also check load order and check also if you have the latest CFP and EPE patches.

So, I did have the CD3 files in the correct order, BUT they weren't at the bottom of my mod list.  Made the change and I'm not locked anymore! Thank you so much!! And, I had no idea there was a premium version, will have to look into that.

@Lord Bohemond I was able to initially unlock and play again using @Setnakhte's advice above.  The icon I am referring to is the "court event available" icon. So, for instance, if you went to your court and saw someone just standing around waiting to be addressed, it's the icon above their head, prompting their event so to speak.  With the change I made to my mod order, it is blue again and can be clicked on, but when I go there, I see the guys doing their thing, but if I click the X to exit out, the event is still running and I'm unable to kill it for whatever reason. I was able to keep playing briefly after that until a second event happened where my character was then watching the other two guys, and this one soft locked me to the event again. Going to try a fresh reload and maybe an earlier save to see what happens.

 

**UPDATE - So, best I can tell, every time my character is observing others having sex in the throne room, my game gets stuck on the event. It's like I'm supposed to be doing something to progress it, but I don't have any options to do so. I close out of the throne room, return to the game, and hit play, which automatically returns me to the court scene.  If I save, exit out and load the save fresh, I'm able to dismiss the event, or at least set it aside, and can return to play.  After returning to play this way, I will eventually get an "X event has timed out," which I can dismiss and continue playing.

When your character is spying on a scene, is the Exit option available to you, the one on the event panel? Also the X in the Royal Court does not conclude the event, it just closes the UI. To conclude the event, you need to choose one of the options in the Event panel. Would be great if you can post a screenshot of that scenario and also a screenshot of your load order.

Sorry for the delayed response, busy weekend.  So, yes, I get the full list of camera view options as well as the Exit button.  If I use the Exit button, it does indeed end the event, BUT if I choose a camera option instead, it changes views, then the list is no longer available no matter what I do.  I've included screenshots as requested. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have saved the first shot with the camera views, etc, but it was definitely as described above.

I found a bug where in if you are a vassal Count of a Duke, it will not render the sex court scene. However, I was not able to replicate your scenario where you are a Duke and your liege has a Royal Court, that one works okay. I'll fix the issue I found and hopefully it will also fix  yours.

Are you planning on incorporating genetic elements from Physical Attributes to this? Would love to abandon CBO for this instead, but I won't lie and say i'll that I won't miss the genetic seeding from PH. 

 

Two more questions. Is there anyway to get animations that are faster? By that I mean more intense banging (hard and fas if you will), at least from what I tried it seems more slow/sensual.  

 

 

Also is there a way to make this work with the total conversions? Like Elder Kings and AGOT?

I haven't used Physical Attributes so I am not really sure how to answer your question. For the animation, yeah it's possible though it will look cartoony if too fast. I only set it to 24fps, I haven't tried going beyond that. If it needs to be super fast, we will have to consider a higher fps. For total conversions, it will require a compatch to run with them since cd3 is almost a total conversion now. I have not created patches yet for total conversions since I'm busy with the animations.
