The Manipulator

Basically, you need to go to the home, and set the two markers there (home, sleep). Once that is done, any NPC you add to your harem will go to that location - either walking, or fast travel, depending on your Manipulator settings.

 

Luxury Suit should work as a home; I used it (long ago). However, the NPCs might not, if they're custom. Their packages may prevent it. I'd make sure you have Manipulator near the end of your load order; that may help.

I did this last night to try it out. Set breeze home as the home, and also for sleep. Auriel did indeed sandbox there as hoped.

 

THANK YOU!

 

*Once more places this mod on the MUST HAVE IN LOAD ORDER list*

Sorry but in my first comment I put the hex id wrong. It was 0100341A (missed a 0 in the beginning). I tried your approach but got the same error. It says something like "outfit unavailable. unable to add."

Make sure you're using an outfit ID - armor IDs will not work. In Skyrim, only outfits can be worn, so to wear armor, you need to define an outfit that contains that armor part. The mod you want to use probably has has an outfit definition which includes the armor you want.

Most welcome! ?

 

But see what Crag posted previously: BBLS already has something like a harem function already.

I have never heard of BBLS ?

Thanks man. I understand what you mean. In Skyrim.esp there are entries of the OTFT type but the mod I am using doesn't have them. I will try creating outfits for it manually else use a different mod. Thanks very much.

Ah thankee

 

After going through the information provided on BBLS I found that I actually am not interested in it ? Manipulator does everything I need on its own

 

But again, thank you for linking that, I had no idea what that stood for

Sure, my pleasure ?

Sorry, not sure how that cropped up.

I really like this mod, it is now on my MUST INSTALL list directly under LTD Katanas and Neo's Oriental Dress Set, and also Tropical Skyrim {yes I like that overhaul too much!}

 

This mod is locked in my load order for sure!

I'm really glad you like it, thank you!  ?

Can this mod lower follower combat stats?

I find a lot of followers have too high stats which spoil the game, because they take all my kills.

A follower for me is a follower and not a bodyguard

No but you can use XEdit to dicky about with followers so they are what you want.

I did it by using AFT in the end.

I disabled magic, and since it's right at the beginning of the game, I dsabled auto level up on the character.

 

Working really well now!

But thanks...

I was going to say, most follower mods give you access to stats. I know EFF does. You could also edit then via xedit or the ck.

 

And funny, I find companions too weak. I almost always make sure they have perks and levels via the CK. But I am playing with some hardcore combat mods. An unmodded Farkas, for example, even under 40, would spend most of his time on his knee in my game. SO I changed his level so he now levels with my char and added skills.

[Tiruil]

Welp I ran into a ..... annoying.... issue, wherein Manipulator will work as intended to edit an NPC, HOWEVER, anything in the MCM list below it WILL NOT SHOW their MCM menus in any manner; also affected is anything past foot paint in showracemenu after manipulator is used.

 

Restarting the game fixes this; but its getting annoying

[Guest ffabris]

Not heard that before. Only guess is a conflict with something else.

[Tiruil]

And I cant figure out what it conflicts with; fortunately it only lasts until I restart the game, then everything works as expected; Somehow though once I posted about it here, it never did that glitch in the game. {I like my characters to be a certain size compared to everything else. nasmely, taller and fuller in figure, so my companion gets the same treatment, and manipulator helps with that}

[Guest ffabris]

Hopefully it won't repeat  ?

It might just be me but I just started playing again and bought myself AE (big mistake) and I found my game doesn't boot up with Manipulator on  which sucks man cause I love how convenient your mod is for almost everything.(Sorry if this has already been brought up)

Ahhhh ok. I hadn't heard of it. Just goes to show how out of touch I am now. ?

[Tiruil]

Yeah, special Edition Skyrim got a HUGE 10th anniversary update called Anniversary Edition last year; it broke a LOT of stuff; so for example you might need to upgrade/update Manipulator to fix the issues it causes of not starting the game or allowing the game to run

 

Personally I am sticking with Legendary Edition skyrim; I finally got it working how I want it to work too.

Updating Manipulator will be a job for someone else. ?

Don't fix what isn't broken.
