@emily1673 since you seem to be back with us full time (yay!), I'd like to make a suggestion.

Vampire hair control doesn't quite work and causes more problems than it's actually worth. I know for a fact that YPS has a script that disables colour change and/or hair cutting - I'd like to suggest implementing this solution if vampirism is detected. Even if the hair monitor is turned off, the vampire's hair can still be cut and it restores the hair to its default length after the cut. In the original YPS this wasn't an issue, player could just avoid the hair stylist, but with the Monoman's rape settings in SLS this does get in the way, so I think it would be best if any hairstyle change from the YPS side was disabled for vampires.

This could be tricky because cured vampires still need to use vampire hair control otherwise it just doesn't work for them at all. Would vampirism still be detected for cured vampires? It would make the Dawnguard quest lines much harder to play through.

Look at it this way - lack of hair growth is a consequence of vampirism. Ultimately - cured or not - you became an undead bloodsucker. It is difficult to expect your body to return to complete normality. And the current hair management system throws PC's face into the grinder, so ultimately this is the better option in my opinion.

this file is missing the wizard.txt for the installer to work.

It never had a wizard. I have tried to repackage sound and texture pack, combining the LE and SE versions and adding a wizard. Does this work?

@emily1673 - Are there plans for including tattoos? A cute lil tramp stamp would be perfect!

 

A very old suggestion I still have on my list. Sure that would be nice, though not with high priority at this time.

I have never really dealt with vampirism, since this mod is focusing more or less on the "realistic" side of skyrim (there is also very few magic, no dragons etc.). Can't vampires just avoid visiting the hairdresser? ... unless they want something else than a haircut of course ?

I think some of them get confused when they look through the window and see all those bottles of red hair dye on display....

Yes that worked

I've been using the mod for a few days now with SE (version 1.6.640) and haven't run into any issues. Got applied finger nail polish on solitude and in markath i changed my hairstyle. Tried the hair preview too and that worked as well. Used to have this mod on LE, so glad it works with SE / AE too, thank you.

It would work if it was just YPS. Disable hair monitor and avoid hairdresser. But Sexlab Survival has a "fashion rape" function where you can get a haircut after, well, rape. It can be disabled, sure, but it doesn't really solve the underlying problem - YPS doesn't really play well with vamps.

Also, if one is serious about playing the game, becoming a vamp is not something that can be avoided. So this conflict will become a problem at some point.

Another idea... Jewellry Fashion (non-piercings). Thinkings at the least things liek rings and necklaces can contribute to fashion addiction.

I played Skyrim a lot (also the vanilla game), but always avoided vampire stuff.

Anyway: what can I do to improve the mod? Something like:

 

if player == vampire then disablehaircut 

(I think you know what I mean)

  ... or what?

Yeah, something like that. In the gender change quest at its current state of development the player actually ends up with a hairstyle that cannot be cut, dyed or changed, really. And this solution is quite robust. I figured implementing something like that for vampires wouldn't take too much work on your end, since the solution is (unintendedly) already there. Basically the length of your hair in the moment of the vampire change will remain the same forever (from YPS's POV). Why even bother at all with vampire hair control if you can get it done much easier with what you already have? ☺️

Been a while since I played Dawnguard part, but I'm fairly certain being changed into vampire (lord) is unavoidable. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The problem I see is that this would mess up characters who used to be a vampire "but got better" because Vampire hair control is still required for such characters in the current version of the mod even 'though they aren't a vampire any more. Some major quest lines are impossible to complete without becoming a vampire (even if only temporarily - another option is available but it feels like a weak immersion breaking alternative).

It is 100% avoidable if you side with the Dawnguard, it's only if you side with the vampires that you have to become one.

If I recall correctly, when you side with the Dawnguard Serana turns you into VL in order to enter the Soul Cairn.

You get the option of VL or being partially soul-trapped (nerfs your stats while in the Soul Cairn until you recover your soul gem).

I stand corrected then. Still, the point stands: the player has to make actual effort in order to avoid being transformed.

NEW on 2023/05/06: Merger of SE and LE Version (read this):

From now on, SE and LE versions will be merged into a single download.

The downloads also have an install wizard (wizard.txt) where you can chose from LE and SE during installation, to make installation easier.

This includes the "sound & texture pack" uploaded on 06 May 2023 (which is still required, but now combines SE+LE), and YPS mod version 6.3.1 (uploaded on 30 April 2023).

Future versions of this mod will be the same way.

Note that development and support for this mod is for LE version only. If you have issues with the SE version, you can still post them (preferably in the SE thread), but I generally will not fix any bugs (though maybe other people here have a solution).

DOWNLOADS OF NEW VERSIONS (6.3.1 and above) ARE NOW EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE ON THE LE VERSION SITE.

 

-

Aside from that, a little teaser: the next version (6.4., adding a new feature) is almost ready, will be posted in a few days.

Now you're just making my autistic manual installation process even more complicated aren't you? ?

You can actually still use the old sound+texture pack.

I am using your mod for years and I love it. But I have question, just out of curiosity why don't you go to "SE"? The tools available for SE AE overshadow by far what LE can do. This is not a complaint I will keep using your mod even if its for LE forever. For me it is essential for a SexLab load order. Also I am not a modder so I may be talking out of my rear. But aren't you putting limits to your own mod? And again this not a complaint or gripe I want to make this clear. It's your mod you do you. I have no say in your creative endeavours and I respect any decision you make it's your creation. Anyway didn't really want to make a point here. Just asking. I am totally satisfied with how things are. Peace! And thank you for creating such an amazing and essential mod.

Very simple: I am familiar with modding in LE, and want to spend the little time I have on modding, and not on getting used to still another modding environment.

Also my LE game setup for playing is pretty good (even though it crashes too often), whereas SE is still incomplete (and it also crashes too often).

I thought as much, absolutely nothing wrong with that. As long as you have fun that's what matters. Making a mod is supposed to be fun even if it has its struggles, that's what I think and its fine doing things you're accustomed to and if something "works" why break it?

 

This goes to every user of a modification. Let's all remember that modders are people and have to have fun too, we download shit and expect things go our way, but it's not like that, its not only they give and we take, give something back the minimum we can do is to at least show appreciation. So let's be humble that someone out there is fulfilling our fantasies. Just say thanks because they gave up energy and precious time for us to get enjoyment. Here's my 2 cents and also I am drunk. The fuck am I saying? Again hope the best for you and thank you for your contribution in my entertainment. Peace and lotta love. Keep slaying.

My experience (after using YPS with few problems with SE for the past few years):

After updating with the new version, I find that yps effects do not show up in the game. Whereas there was a time when opening Slavetats in the MCM allowed application of YPS items to an NPC, YPS no longer shows up as an option. Purchased YPS items show up in the player character inventory, but do not show up after application.

Again, that's my experience. I'm experimenting with ways to fix the problem (reinstallation on a clean save, re-ordering the related mods), but so far no success.

Looks like Slavetats is not playing well with the new version of YPS in SE (viewpoint from a longtime noob).

I'm not asking for anybody to troubleshoot my game. I'm offering an alert for a potential problem with the SE version. If it needs fixing and gets fixed, that solves my problem. Happy day.
