Sex skill increase

[znutar]

I can't find this in any of the pinned topics or threads; so would someone please explain how skills increase with practice in Sexlab?  Is it time related, linked to the positions, or what?  So far I've noticed that foreplay skill increases much faster than anything else, and that it doesn't seem to matter how long the animations last for that to happen, but that's as far as I've gotten.

 

Second, are there any mods which modify the skill stats or learning rate aside from Stats Manipulator?  Enchanted devices or some such?

Skills are increasing depending on the time spent on the different animation types.

Foreplay is calculated like totalTime/10

While the other skills give a point with sectionTime/8

It doesn't seem quite that cut and dried, somehow; two different events with the same positions, partners, and time setting will give rather different increases in skill.  Is that supposed to be in minutes or seconds, and does the time setting matter?

From SexLab code (ThreadController in this case):

function EndLeadIn()

  if LeadIn

    ...

    ; Add runtime to foreplay skill xp

    SkillXP[0] = SkillXP[0] + (TotalTime / 10.0)

    ...

  endIf

endFunction

 

function RecordSkills()

  float TimeNow = RealTime[0]

  float xp = ((TimeNow - SkillTime) / 8.0)

  if xp >= 0.5

    if IsType[1]

      SkillXP[1] = SkillXP[1] + xp

    endIf

    if IsType[2]

      SkillXP[2] = SkillXP[2] + xp

    endIf

    ...

endFunction

 

Then the skills are just put in the actor (alias.)

Must be one of the mods I'm using to call it, then.  Thanks.
