Looking for tutorials how to make quests with sexlab and DD.

[sinfullsinfull]

Always wanted to know how anyone making mods. It can't be just open ck wiki and do it. What about sexlab, DD? Yeah, I get that there are documentations in scripts. But maybe I missing something. Maybe there are tutorials for quests, npc behaivors, DD usage that will give a good example with commentaries.

So I interested in:

1. Quest tutorials, maybe you know someone who wrote a good quest and explained it how it works. Would like to repeat it and learn.

2. Npc creation. Packages, behaviour, reaction etc.

3. DD implementation. How to lock unlock, modify, keys etc.

4. Sexlab. Tutorial of how to properly use it.

 

Maybe some discord channels? Anything up to date

 

Thanks

 Honestly, id suggest just using LLM. Claude can teach you all you need, has infinite patience for mistakes and is reasonably familiar with software you'll have to use.  Just do yourself a favlour and set up a seprate installation or MO2 profile for dev work. Its awfully easy to break things, especially at first steps.

I assume you already know the basics about making mods for the vanilla game (and if you don't, refer to here, it has everything about quests, packages, scripting, etc.). Because that's the fundamentals- you're making normal quests, with SL and DD integrated into them. After that, I'd start with getting Sexlab stuff down first.

 

There's a PDF originally posted by the now-deleted account CPU on this site that covers all basically you need to know about scripting sexlab in papyrus:

Papyrus for Skyrim Guide.pdf

It's what I reference in my modding, and I've only had very few problems it didn't cover.

 

Once you understand that, you can move on to Devious Devices. Unfortunately there's no premade guide for that, and you'll need to refer to the in-script documentation. The script zadLibs.psc from DDi has a lot of interface functions and information in it:

zadLibs.psc

I imagine the most useful will be EquipDevice(), RemoveDevice(), and IsWearingDevice(), but that depends on what you're doing I guess.

 

If you want to check out a mod that has uses DD in it's quests, you might have some luck looking into Deviously Cursed Loot, I know it has lots of quests and can see in my files that it includes its script sources for you to reference.

 

 

Don't bother with AI LLMs. They aren't going to know either- this stuff isn't written down in enough detail anywhere for them to scrape correct information to serve you.

Thanks for the pdf it is what I needed, to have some base to return to and know how things are done. 

And for the rest part, it is bad there are no good examples for DD, but at least now I know the only way to learn is rip apart other mods and read how they are doing stuff. 

 

Thanks for detailed reply
