I think it's better, but I have two comments. 1) 3x3 size bedrooms are pretty big. That's not a big problem, but it makes them harder to decorate, i.e., fill with furniture. It probably means "living room" type furniture will need to be added to fill the space. 2) Single beds in corners don't work well with the Sexlab camera. Of course, not a problem if sex scenes won't take place there.

1) Rooms (1) can be reduced to 2x3, but rooms (2) would have to be 3x3 to accommodate a VIP who may want a show in their room or an NPC with special requests, such as “The husband wants his wife to have sex with an animal.” That is one of your suggestions.

2) Personally, I don't remember a problem with the camera in SexLab by the beds in the corner, but it might be a problem that they are too “close” to the wall, right?

Technically, there are supposed to be sex scenes there (between employees after hours), but they don't have to be on the bed, they can be on other furniture such as a chair, wall, table, or simply the floor.

Also, I can't tell from the drawings, but there should be fire pits in the big open areas, and I would also consider adding some fireplaces to the VIP rooms.

As for the furniture, the fireplace will take up 1x1, so there will be less decorating for rooms 3x3 :3

Helping a vampire NPC, or getting one to acquire the Death Hound and the Gargoyle would be nice and could be used for conflicts with the Dawnguard/Vigil of Stendarr

I had more of a “friendly vampire lord” in mind, but the Dawnguard/Vigil of Stendarr could still pose a threat to him/her.

Ysolda and Olfina will probably not be part of the main storyline, but rather side quests, such as ‘training’ in proper and safe sex with a creature. Temba had an interesting quest with Bear, which amused me quite a bit, so personally I would like to keep this event in a similar form.

Oh, I was thinking they'd be side quest type stuff anyways so thats cool that you are considering it. And yeah the Temba thing was great.

What you are describing could be done on your own, because it would mainly involve removing tasks/dialogues related to them, as long as each faction/event has its own quest.

What scripts, dialogues and quests should I remove in the esp file? Do the script files still cause problems even if I remove scripts from the esp?

We want to keep some of the tasks from the original Animal Mansion, but also from Plus. There will also be tasks such as ‘Go to the client's house, teach the client how to have safe sex with a creature, return to the Mansion’.

You will have to check and remove these tasks/dialogues yourself. References to scripts that have been removed from the ESP (e.g. removal of an entire task) will simply not work. However, in some cases (depending on the author), there may only be references to one main script that manages, for example, sex scenes, etc.

 

I have never checked this.

The project itself is a long way from the first working version for public.

There used to be a really old mod that I remembered having a quest revolving around a "Troll Prince." I find that quest really amusing and wonder if something like that can be done if you're reviving AM. I think it's by the same author who made Things in the Dark

 

Basically inspired by the frog prince fairy tale where a woman has to kiss a frog and it turns into a handsome prince. In this case, it's a troll and since it's SL, it's the full act. The twist is that the Troll's "human" form is that of an ugly orc chieftain cursed by  Malacath. He can only return to his orc form after sex with a woman in Troll form. After 24 hours, he will revert to being a troll again.

 

I don't know if something like that can be done and integrated into AM somehow but I always find that quest mod kinda funny, but the original mod is either lost to time and it was really buggy back when I played it anyway.

 

Maybe the integration is that since he has to have sex with women regularly in Troll form to return to being an Orc for a day (having sex in Orc form doesn't count, he must revert to a troll first), the DB recommended that he joined the AM as a special attraction. That way he can have the sex that he needed whenever he wants to be an orc. He gets a job that actually pays him and let him have all the sex he wants

It could be done, but I already have an NPC in mind who is stuck as a werewolf and has a wife. So I wouldn't give something similar to another creature, but we'll see.

A quest about finding a wealthy investor to keep the business safe and running could be interesting. Someone like Maven Blackbriar, for example.

It's a good idea, but it couldn't be Maven, but rather Erikur?

Alternatively, could have the investor come forward himself, but temporarily wish to remain anonymous. After a specific task, he will summon the PC to him? And here the surprise is Bryling? In practice, any Jarl, Thane or wealthy NPC can be an investor.

Well, I suggested Maven because she is wealthy, influental and known to be involved in all kinds of shady dealings. Animal Mansion sounds like something she would be interested in patronizing to get her share of profit.

Erikur also has his less honorable moments, just like Maven. Among other things, he is a contact for the thieves' guild and has framed people for things they didn't do (see the sailor from one of the ships or the captain? I don't remember). But you can also give someone unexpected, like Bryling, Panteia Atia, etc.

There may also be more than one investor.

Animal Mansion starts with a quest to get a license to operate the business, maybe some sort of integration with licenses player oppression so that either you need a whore license or getting the business license counts as a whore license for Falkreath hold?

We are not planning any integration with ‘licence’ type mods, but Jarl's consent for this type of business is required.

Yes Trmba's quest was a nod to her base game quest.  I like when mods do that.

 

I'd overheard the three of them talking at a corner table in an Inn.

Spoiler

Olfina : "It's not easy being a woman in Skyrim, I know. But stay strong, and men will come to respect you, and maybe even fear you."

Temba : "Sounds to me like you've penis envy. You're always teasing poor Jon too, I bet you never let him fuck you."

Ria : "I fucked a bear today, did you fuck anything?"

Temba : ""Yes, Ria, I fucked ten bears today it keeps them from fucking up the trees."

Ria : "Wow!"

Olfina : "By the gods! and you can still walk?"

Temba : "Hmm, I'm a little sore now but was the best fucking I've ever had, I want to screw at least another ten tomorrow." 

Ria : "Need any help with that?"

Olfina : "... and you say I have cock on my mind?"

Temba : "Sure Ria, meet me by the mill early in the morning, You're welcome to cum along too Olfina if you want."

Olfina : " Maybe I will.:

Ria : "Have you ever given one a blow job?"

...

 

I think you should have Ysolda follow a similar idea, something close to her little base quests.

 

Spoiler

What would she do for a mammoth tusk or sleeping tree sap? A Giant? A Mammoth? Maybe both?

Is this your idea for the dialogue, or is it actually from some mod?

Of course, I'm not saying ‘no’ to references to certain quests, such as Ysolda secretly having sex with Khajiit.

I would love if the new mansion have mechanics that make use of those FFC and MFC animations from billyy and anubs pack. confabulation have some but they are too few and far between.

We want to provide options such as FFC/MFC/FCC for the purposes of the tasks themselves, and perhaps also public/private shows. And even (probably) a package of ‘invisible furniture’ for humans/mer and creatures from Billyy and Snubis i remember right.

No not from a mod, it's just me joking around. You should know by now if you want to ignore or use anything I ever say go right ahead.

How about adding a bouncer to the list of Animal Mansion staff? Perhaps an orc brawler, looking for easy money, or a member of the thieves guild, provided by the rich investor?

To be honest, I've already added the bouncer as placeholders (due to one task (planned) and the nature of the Animal Mansion location). But it's not an orc, just two Nords, male and female. Generally, I have in mind that they are siblings, but they have sex with each other. We can always change the relationship so that they met on a joint task as mercenaries and stayed together because they liked each other.

 

I don't want to involve the thieves' guild too much in this, because the PC may be a member, but you could make two versions of the quest where he was supposed to rob the mansion, but he saw the PC and recognised a member of the guild (or even the guild master) and simply talks to the PC about the job, or the mansion is simply robbed, but the PC can recover the stolen items and punish the thief.

Don't forget the mark on the exterior of the building that marks them as Thieves guild.

 

First off...      Very exciting news indeed!

 

I like what has been talked about, the mod sure needs updated by talent, such as yourself and others if they are involved.

Which version are you using as your base mod? 

I use AM+ https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/13508-animal-mansion-plus-se/

I have used the 4.2 from here but liked + better....https://www.loverslab.com/topic/144467-animal-mansion-4-dev-thread/

4.2 had a nice story arc, neither was finished or polished.

 

 

Ideas from me

Kill the repetition, Thaena gives pc customer who wants to watch, then wants to participate, do that three to five times in a row for each animal gets really old!

Continue the Jesper idea of the pc being his "muse", jesper returns with a full heart to either be accepted or rejected by pc.

Maybe Tirwin could visit for a "Special" show for high end clients.

Fix the shows not always working, I usually can get the mixed male/female shows, the female only shows, but hardly ever do the all male shows work.

Allow Thaena to accompany the pc to sites for personal shows, Chilfurrow farm has "Jazeem" who is "Nazeem" father, old, never gets out, needs personal show or any other farm, etc.

NPC's that have seen the shows like the dog sale or horse sale might show up to try their first animal.

Maybe have an animal from the mansion go with the pc to teach another who does not have a pet but will be convinced to find one afterwards.

Player delivers pets sold by the mansion to various npc's who then need lessons.

As for the expanded building, I dislike other buildings that have too much space to be used, like in some castle mods there is sooo much space with one tiny area used.

Avoid too much clutter, Wartimes has so much crap packed into the area there is no room left for sex, or not tripping over stuff, I continually think my poor pc's legs are continually bruised by running into table corners and such while traveling around.    

 

I wish you luck and much Coffee,         I will look forward to the release of this, Thank You.
