 Well, got to it, learned abit about texture sets in the process. Posting fixed version here.

Now, if i may ask, @emily1673 could you replace the package in downloads? Sorry for that blunder.

YPS BHUNP pack v1.1.zip 3.01 MB · 1 download

Thank you so much for this.

For BoS, I would still recommend the full version of YPS, because it has more features (e.g. arousal management).

The lite version should work without issues though.

 

Wonderful, many thanks!

 

No, it's exactly the opposite! DD has been a requirement for the standard version since a long time. And now I finally found the time to do a LITE version, so people can use the latest YPS features without installing DD (or even Sexlab). Rejoice! 😊

My mistake.  I'd have sworn I used this in the past without DD.  So the Sexlab content was reliant upon DD as well?

Don't think there is any. I have never tried PSQ. What functionality do you have in mind?

The easiest way maybe is to ask the PSQ developers to use YPS mod events when changing hairstyle and color.

 

I hope it's something minor but I'm no modder so idk lol, on transforming into a succubus you can set it to change hair color but yps will auto change it back a few moments later. I would ask the PSQ dev but I'm not hopeful since it looks like the mod hasn't been updated in years for LE or its SE conversions from others.

Maybe it's just working as intended (though I could change it from 0 to -1, to avoid confusion). Do the other (de)buff levels work normally?

 

Well, according to SSEEdit it should give a 10 debuff. I noticed when I edited all the buffs to be less op, but not a biggie. The other de(buffs) work normally.

DD relies on SL, not the other way round.

Yps full version relies on DD (and SL). The original reasons were: 1) be able to detect DD piercings; 2) to add the "SexlabNoStrip" keyword to nail polish items.

And of course the Dibella quest and the flirt system, which rely on DD and SL quite much.

Yps lite version relies on nothing.

Originally, I did post full and lite versions for all updates, but the recent lite version is the first one since several years...

Then you should turn of YPS hair control before changing into a succubus.

I haven't used LE since 2018. But I believe voice packs for NPCs should work on LE. They are just fuz files (wav and lip combined.) I believe Emily is using LE.

 

DBVO is not available for LE, but I just saw that someone converted it to LE. I haven't watched it myself, since I'm on SE, but you could use the DBVO voice pack if you convert the mod.

 

In my opinion worth it. I love that my player is voiced 90% of the time. You could use the DBVO voice packs from SE. Bella has the most support.

The mod for the individual DBVO voice packs has to be available for LE of course, and it has to have the same dialogue topic lines (player lines). However of you miss some, it is not going to crash your game, it just won't play the sound.

Yes, the flirt system is what I was alluding to with Sexlab linkage.  Thanks for the info.

For my own playthroughs, I meanwhile switched to SE. Most important reason is that LE crashes for me every ~5 minutes (and I have tried all these "crash fixes", believe me...). Also, I meanwhile have found a reasonable 1st person view mod for SE.

 

Having the voice packs for NPCs and the player also is a wonderful addition to SE that greatly adds to immersion. I didn't try whether the sound packs work for LE.

 

In any case, steadfast LE supporters like @Balgin don't have to worry: development for YPS will continue to be based on LE, simply because I am used to the LE modding environment, and I am only doing quests, dialogues and scripting, which means that there is absolutely no additional work needed to keep the mod compatible for both LE and SE.

Pardon me, I got a face issue with merchant NPC in Dawnstar, Ywind Flower, seem like the mouth part is glitching. Literally when the NPC face is inside my game camera, my whole screen is like glitching, sorry if I'm using wrong term, I'm not really familiar with the modding terms. 

 

I been searched internet but didn't see anyone got this issue yet therefore I report here.

Technically I updated YPS into 6.7.2 from 6.7.0 and Soundtexture Package 240519 from 240114 today. 

Before that, the merchant NPC in Dawnstar without issue. I tested to go other place, the merchant NPCs are fine.

Yes, can confirm similar issues here. Might be caused by the new sound&texture pack.

Does the problem persist with the old one?

The new merchant in Riverwood is doing that to me as well.

[KentuckyExpat]

Can't remember if I said something about this once before, so if I did, my apologies for repeating myself. A male PC going through the Dibella Quest wouldn't react to the various fashion objects he is reluctantly acquiring in the same way a female PC in the base game would react. One who was trying out, and enjoying, her new-found fondness for fashion. So when a male PC suddenly finds himself with pierced ears, which he had no desire to acquire, his thoughts two or three days later are unlikely to be very positive, unlike those of a female discovering, now that she has overcome her reluctance to get pierced ears, that she really likes how she looks with her new earrings.

 

Unfortunately, there appears to be only one set of responses for when the PC, male or female, has had earrings for any length of time. Perhaps an additional set of thoughts in the thoughts database for our reluctant PC could be added, tied to the length of time since the particular event occurred. So, for example, for the first few days he is still annoyed. As time goes on he becomes, first, resigned to the unwanted addition, then later, he becomes more comfortable with the addition and finally, decides that he is pleased with his new appearance.

 

This pattern could be repeated with each step taking him closer to, not just appearing as a woman, but accepting this change wholeheartedly.

 

So far, the Dibella Quest has three possible outcomes. The first is the male PC becomes a female. No surprise there, it's in the game description. I'm leaving the second and third in a spoiler. Wouldn't want to reveal the other options for someone who hasn't played through to those points.

 

Spoiler

2 - At some point prior to the breast implants, he rebels and says, "No more!" This ends the quest and he eventually reverts to his male form

3 - He accepts the changes made to him to date but refuses to have the sex change operation and becomes a shemale

 

I think the first option should become at least two options. In the first one, the male PC is somehow tricked, or even coerced, into becoming a woman and in the second, he slowly becomes aware that he feels more comfortable as a woman and so embraces the opportunity offered by the priestess. Not sure what the third or further options should look like. Perhaps someone else has an idea.

Good observation! This difference is intentional: In the nail salon they are using special gel nail polish, which has a much "softer" smell, but needs to be cured with a UV lamp (and then is more persistent than normal nail polish).

 

That explains why the polish my PC applies only lasts a week whereas when a fashionista gives my girl a professional manicure it lasts for a month. It's these little subtleties that make you a very good storyteller. Congrats.

I revert back to SoundTexture Package 240114 version, merchant is fine now. May I know will it be any compatible issue with 6.7.2 version mod?

Thanks for the input. There will still be some more side lines added to the current quest, though I am happy that it works as it is (it was several years of effort).

Small addition: The "second option" is triggered by the nylons. See also the quest overview pdf.

The old package is compatible with 6.7.2

Maybe you will see the "black face bug", but there is a patch for SE (I linked in the description of this mod).

The newest sound/texture pack caused some issues with face meshes from YPS vendors (SE only). Rolled back to the previous sound&texture pack (from 2024/02/23). If you experience the "black face bug", use the "Face Discloration Fix" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42441.

LE is not affected.

Hi Emily,

 

just spoke to Lena for the first time in a long time. I noticed to my surprise no voiced line. Many versions ago I know it worked, when I played the Dibella Quest. After some research I  found the culprit. Lena and Ray both have no voicetype specified. It must have gotten lost sometime ago.

 

I went back in versions to 6.5.x and they were already missing back then. I'm surprised no one mentioned it.

 

I changed it on my end to:

Lena -> femaleyoungeager

Ray -> maleyoungeager

 

I think that is what they used to be.

Small correction: The "second option" is triggered by the nylons, not the breasts. But anyway, that's how it works generally.

Yeah. Couldn't remember the exact trigger so I went with "prior to the breast surgery".

 

I'm getting an odd problem. This playthrough is on LE. Got the breast surgery. Went to see Lena once I had settled down. She was delighted with my new breasts. She then told me that the priestess in Markarth wanted to see me. Went to see her, got the suggestion that I should complete the transformation from male to female. Did the [Girl Talk] and got the message to go see Lena.  Decided to go do a few small quests to get them off the list  before continuing with the Dibella Quest. After a few days of random adventuring, I went to see Lena. First off, there was only one option to flirt. Aren't there usually two? Second, when I selected the only option I got an indifferent response from her even though "Flirt Success" was set to 100%. Tried several times to flirt, no success. So now I'm stuck. If I force-advance via "SetStage" to the next stage would that take me past the "get Lena as my girlfriend"? And if so, would that prevent me from going any further? Isn't ""Lena is my girlfriend" the trigger for the return to Markarth and agreeing to the gender reassignment surgery?

Oh, I have messed that up. Should be corrected in the next update.

You were right with the breasts - my fault. There is also a PDF with the quest overview.

Thanks for the bug report. It could be I messed this stage up when I did the flirt revamp. If you are stuck, you could indeed use the console to get ahead. But it might cause some further issues down the road. Will have to fix this soon.

Did some more research into this problem, and (so far) cannot see any problem.

You get 1 or 2 options to begin flirting depending on the active/passive stance set in MCM.

Either one should work at this quest stage.

Also, setting "flirt success" to 100% is not a guarantee for success, because this is just the base chance.

Maybe need to wait a few hours and try it again.

 

(All this doesn't mean that there could not be a bug hidden somewhere as well.)

Especially if you didn't change the minimum fashion level for flirting to 0 as well :p. I believe it's 3 by default and it's possible to have a very low fashion level by this point if you're not wearing toenail polish.

[ebbluminous]

@emily1673. Could this mod be used for nail growth?

Currently fashion levels are - Current -12, Today's - 11. Minimum to flirt was left at 3, so I don't think that's the problem. I have tried different times, using the "Wait" function. Will have to try something different, maybe go off and adventure for a day or two.
