Lustful Curses Brainstorming

[sixth]

Hi, I want to brainstorm ideas for a mod.

 

My initial idea is for there to be curses that can randomly apply and effect the player in various ways.

Firstly, there's some stats to know about:
- Daedric Influence effects the roll chance of a curse initially applying, how long it takes curses to level up, and how hard it is to resist certain choices.
- Corruption conveys the players mental resistance to lust, lower being better. This effects things like resisting, text in curse events, and more.
 

Influence can be lowered by praying at a shrine, or asking a priest to bless you. It also passively goes down every day no curse is applied.

If a curse is applied, influence instead rises each day, ontop of rising from decisions/events from curses.

Corruption rises pretty much the same as influence, however it decreases much slower and cant be decreased by the divines.

Current curse ideas:
- Periodically hypnotizes the player, entrancing them and giving them an option to Masturbate, Seduce (seduce an NPC) or resist.
- If off cooldown, going to sleep triggers a lewd dream that makes the player masturbate when waking up.
- Periodically displays a lewd status message, flashes the screen, and conveys a lewd memory to the player, increasing daedric influence and corruption.
- When arousal is max, there's a chance per NPC interaction to instead beg the NPC for sex, increasing influence and corruption and playing a SL scene.
- Increases arousal and SLSO/SLP+ enjoyment during scenes. Each orgasm during scenes increases influence by 1, and corruption by 2 per scene.
- Every night the player is forced to strip. While naked, arousal steadily rises. When arousal is maxed the player can resist masturbating. There's a chance for an NPC whos arousal is high enough to approach the player requesting sex, with options depending on the players level of corruption.
- Slowly raises the arousal of all NPC's near the player.
- Every day, applies a temporary random curse.
- When corruption reaches 100, a special curse is applied. Currently, this only raises arousal, but there's good potential for this.

Curses each have 3 levels which changes some stats associated with them including resist chances, frequency, arousal/corruption gain, difficulty to remove, etc.

How to get cursed:
- Chance upon opening a container
- SPID-applied spells to necromancer/daedra/warlock/etc NPC's.
- Chance upon being hit by a trap in dungeons

- Periodically scans nearby enemies making them roll a chance at being a "curse carrier" whos attacks have a chance at applying a random curse, upgrading a pre-existing curse, or adding influence.
- More?

How to remove curses:
Talk to Falion in Morthal, or consistently resist the curses attempts to influence you which includes sealing it for a day via a priest.

If a curse is resisted, it doesn't make progress towards levelling up, and can go down a level until it's removed.

Curses get harder to remove depending on corruption and their level. Falion will decline helping you if your corruption is too high.

Below I have very rough brainstorming ideas, some drastically increasing the scope:
Add cultist NPC's that can trick the player, applying the curse or triggering other events based on corruption/influence, one such event would be a kind of sexual ritual that consists of many scenes in a new location, drastically increases corruption, influence, and can even level up curses ontop of adding new curses.
Add VFX to curses. Currently there's screen effects like a pinkish hue pulsating and fading in during scenes and what not, more would be nice. I'm a big fan of VFX, they add so much character to things like this.
Make certain curse events change the eye texture of the player, for example awakening changes eye color, or being hypnotized temporarily changes eye texture.

Make awakening more like a succubus awakening? Would then need to design and create the 100th succubus mod but would be cool adding that kind of progression.
Add locations over skyrim that are underground dens of denizens, criminals, cultists, etc, which can trigger specific events depending on curses, stats, etc.

Curse ideas Player goes into heat, causing them to seek out an animal.
Curse idea: Nearby NPC's are driven into a lust frenzy towards the player triggering a rape scene.
Curse idea: Dialogue persuasion always works, with the downside of sexual requests.
Curse idea: Each day without sex, arousal gradually rises.
Each curses level does more than just increase stats, adds the potential for specialized effects, events, etc.
Curses each have their own racemenu texture applied to the players body signifying the curses affliction.

While curses are active (like the player is hypnotized) the curse textures glow.


What I specifically want more ideas about is more curse ideas and reworks or additions to current curses.
I'm unhappy with some of the current curses/ideas because they seem too plain, basic, repetitive, or all of the above. I'm interested in things feeling fresh and dynamic due to the corruption system. It's something I've always looked for in other mods, the player gradually falling and changing so I'd like for that to be center stage if possible, ontop of the curses just functioning well and feeling natural and having some good combinations.

Not to self-promote, but quite a lot of what you're after here can be found in Bimbos of Skyrim, or the Sprawling Bimbos addon for it. It's not like 1-for-1 exact or anything, but almost every point you've suggested is present there in some capacity- maybe check it out.

It's pretty customisable too so if you're not a fan of the bimbofication flavour it's pretty easy to edit the mod's curse to just be a more generic Daedric sex curse.

I had played those and was a fan, I wasn't intending to make something that's basically a copy of Bimbos of Skyrim, unfortunately that's just where all my current ideas landed haha, that's part of why I opened this forum post for brainstorming to get ideas that would give it more of its own identity

There's this mechanic where if you offend a person (i.e. by killing their kin or stealing their shit), people are sent after you to take revenge:

- Hired Thugs

- Assassins

- Bounty Hunters
Maybe you could hook into that and have someone you offended curse you, and to get rid of it, you have to kill them or "negotiate".

 

Sidenote:
"lust" in the title is shorthand for "I lack creativity and have no idea what I'm doing".

F95 ESL devs are to blame.
I would advise against it.

I like this, I'll look into it, thanks!

"Lustful Curses" was just there to convey the general premise of the mod idea; Sexualized Curses, names undecided so far. Though sometimes a simplistic to-the-point name isn't so bad, it's the content that counts at the end of the day.

Carnal Curse?

Heated Hex?
Juicy Jinx?

Cheeky Charm?
