Devious Devices Installation error

[Veladarius]

Alright I tested both files you gave me (thanks for that btw) Nothing has changed, DD will still not equip anything. However, I played around a bit with the ZAZ MCM and in 606 I can actually test some animations that show textures and correct meshes; but no sounds will play. When I tried the same in 604 the character would freeze into the T frame during animations, but the sounds for those animations would play.

 

It looks like the issue is still with the device hider, try disabling it in the MCM menu (set to no slot) and see if that helps or not. If not you may want to try a new game and see if if still happens with v6.04

I have a question. Since I have no working reference how does the DD MCM work when its functioning correctly with item selection? Specifically I assume that you assign an item catagory to a body part first. (Say Head slot 30 and inside you can select collar 45 or Gag 44)  Once that is done I then assume you scroll down select gag or collar category 44 or 45 and then pick from a list of different types of gags or collars?

 

If this is the case I don't get the second menu. For me there is only one menu and all I get for all choices (for any particular catagory (body part or device) is the one shown here.

( I tried the 604 new game, but it didn't work. I have been using a new game for all my testing thus far inside the keep at the very beginning of the game. All saves were created with no mods installed so I get a clean attempt at working the problem without additional conflicts each time)

The first part is the the body slot (will list the DD item that slot uses), what is listed under it is what slot / device it will hide. In the default set up the Body will piercings, bra and corsets. Note that if you choose to set a slot to hide a particular item it will also hide ANY items that use that slot, not just devices.

Humm, perhaps I have this all wrong then. So the slots don't equip items then? They just hide them? If so then I assume no items in the DD mod are available at the start of the game and the only way to get those DD items is to craft them after the first quest is done?

 

Sry, I'm a little confused.

The device hider is intended to be able to hide a device when something else is equipped not equip them. This is so that when you are wearing something that would cover something else it could be hidden. This also only works on the player, not npc's.

Ok, I downloaded and installled the following armors to do a mod cross check, ran a Tess5Edit check, LOOT check, etc for all compatibility problems that might arise. (I have the following mods' specific requirments installed)

 

Eisen Armor

Ageha Armor

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67016/?

 

This is what I found.

Nothing. It seems no matter what armor mod I choose to install the result is the same; it does not exist in inventory for equipping. (I had thought that the slots in DD were for equipping previously which lead me to belive the equipping problem was something else.)

 

This leads me to belive that the real problem at hand is a much more serious one than just DD not working. Any clothing mod I have tried that is external to the game's clothing has not worked so far. I have no idea how to proceed from here, or if its even possible to trace the root cause of this problem. I am open to suggestions but at this point I am at a loss. Thanks for your help everyone.

Generally mods don't give them to you when installed, either you need to find them, make them or use the console to get them. If they did give you the items on start of game I would be over encumbered by about 30x what I could carry.

[horcas4857]

I see. I suppose the hardest part for me has been initiation. Most of what mods describe in their mod summary have alot of implicit assumptions that the downloader knows how they work. I am going to just play the game for awhile and learn a bit more by experience. Thanks for your help Veladarius.

It appears to be saying that one of the pre-requisites for using Devious Devices is not fulfilled, namely, that Sexlab.esm and all of it's requirements need to be installed correctly.  Double check that you installed and enabled Sexlab

 

Also here is a good guide for Skyrim SE From Zero to Hey Sexlab is Working (Linking guide for Special Edition since it appears that is what you are using based on the fact that you are attempting to use DD for SE)

Did you install sexlab (i.e. install then enable) in vortex and then try and do devious devices? I'm guessing the devious devices installer is looking for sexlab.esm but that won't be present until you click deploy (happens when you install a lot of mods at once that come with fancy menu's that check for stuff) so the easy solution would to install sexlab, deploy, install devious devices
