SexLab Parasites - Kyne's Blessing (February 2023)

[raan_zii]

Has anyone had any luck with a UUNP version of the facehugger belt? I've tried making it myself in Outfit Studio and it looks okay in Nifskope, but the game CTD's on loading it.

 

What I did was:

- start a new project in Outfit Studio

- From template: Unified UNP Special (*)

- Load outfit/mesh From File: meshes\armor\kyneblessing\beltfacehugger\cuirassa_1.nif

- Slider, Conform All

- select all meshes except the reference and Copy Bone Weights, at search radius 7 or it won't find a weight for all vertices;

- save the project without the reference body;

- restart BodySlide and generate the meshes.

 

This resulted in the following files.

SexLab Parasites - Kyne's Blessing - Facehugger.7z

 

Could the crash be related to the weighting/ Perhaps because the parasite's shaft gets connected to the thighs instead of solely depending on the pelvis? Does anyone have any tips on how to handle this?

 

 (*) The reasoning is to add hdtmale.xml to the nif file, opening the vagina on contact.

 

I got it to work by following your instructions, however, in addition to those I also deleted the reference body from the resulting nif file. It seems to me that the reference body was included, despite me unchecking that box while saving. The result in-game was not good though, got all kinds of weird deformations of the parasite. Also I know nothing about making outfits with Outfit Studio, someone who knows what they're doing could probably do this easily

 

Edit: also just remembered that I've deleted all other NiTriShape nodes from the original cuirassa mesh except for the one that actually makes up the parasite. Additionally, it seemed to produce a better fit when using cuirassa_0 as the outfit, instead of cuirassa_1 as you suggested (so I did that differently as well).

Thanks for the feedback, but it didn't help. Well, not much. When I delete all the nodes except FaceHuggerCuerpo and FaceHuggerCuerpo_n (the "hand"), the game doesn't crash... but the crawler isn't visible. I'm at my wits' end. I spent around 6 hours on this mesh alone, when, like you say, someone who knows what they're doing could probably do it in 10 minutes. Oh well.

 

The original file indeed contains a node BaseShape, which is the body, so that must indeed be deleted. Odd that it got automatically replaced by the reference in my case and not in yours.

 

Regarding the deformations that you get, another thing I tried and you might, is not copying the weights to the crawler's "shaft" (tail? spine?): the tube that runs from its tail end to the infected's anus. Copying weights causes BodySlide to seek the nearest vertices, and in the case of that long shaft  it probably finds the inner thighs, which the shaft's weighing should not depend on. The shaft should depend on the basin only because that's what it's attached to. So in Outfit Studio, try copying the weights only to the meshes below.

 

 

(As you can see I've been going for the type B facehugger, but the same principle, to a lesser extent maybe because it doesn't feature that long shaft, should apply to type A.)

On a completely different tangent, I hope the OP will consider adding the new Dwarven Devious Cuirass as a "mechanical parasite".

 

I guess it could be implemented as a regular Devious Device that you could pay a blacksmith for to remove it, which seems more appropriate in this case than a healer. The mod would only need to be extended to get you "infected" with one of 'em.

Not a parasite but I would like to extend the Sexbot quest in Stories along those lines.

You seem to be using a completely different Facehugger mesh, I must have misunderstood you. I used the one bundled with this mod. Here's a more detailed description of what I did to get that one to work in game, in case it's of some use to you:

 

1. Extracted facehugger mesh from this (SexLab Parasites) mod: KyneBlessing06\SexLab-Parasites.bsa\meshes\armor\beltfacehugger\cuirassa_0.nif using BSA Browser version 1.4.2.0.
   1. MD5 of the extracted file: 3ce631f7de04b5f429514dd4e5ee049e
2. Opened the extracted cuirassa_0.nif in NifSkope 2.0.0 Pre-Alpha 6 and removed all shapes other than the facehugger itself; for no other reason than that I prefer a "cleaner" version.
   1. Block -> Remove Branch:
      1. Object001
      2. Cream
      3. Cream_N
      4. PubicHair
      5. FaceHuggerSemen
   2. Only remaining NiTriShape nodes directly under the root NiNode are: FaceHugger and FaceHugger_n
3. Opened the modified cuirassa_0.nif in Outfit Studio bundled with BodySlide version 4.2.3.0.
4. Followed your instructions for creating a new project for UUNP Special and copying the bone weights over.
5. Saved the project, without the reference body.
6. Opened Facehugger.nif (created in Outfit Studio) in NifSkope.
7. Removed reference body if it was still present.
8. Added NiStringExtraData for HDT SMP (obviously optional).
9. Built Facehugger in BodySlide, with the Build Morphs box checked.

 

Also yes, I'd agree with you that the deformation problem is that Outfit Studio seems to "link" the vertices on the parasite to thighs etc. This causes deformation when walking for instance. I unfortunately do not know how to edit things at that level.

 

Edit: Attached the resulting BodySlide files, just in case.

Is there any other way of removing the tentacle monster? Everything is working fine including the mana buffs, but the mcm is showing that I have nothing equipped, so I can't use it to remove the parasite. I also tried void salts like it says, but that doesn't work either(not included yet?). Tried putting the esp at the bottom of my load order as well.

I wonder if it was equipped by another mod....are you running DCL maybe? If so, I believe you can talk to the priestess in whiterun

 

Just a thought.

 

 

[Debaster]

I see earlier in the thread people taking about curing the player with actor events. I dl'ed it and having been trying it but my syntax is wrong or something

 

AKactor.sendmodevent ("SLPCureTentacleMonster")

 

player.sendmodevent ("SLPCureTentacleMonster")

 

None of these work. SkyrimLL-sama plzzzzzzzzzz

[Kitchensnk]

Need a bit of help...

 

I came to this via the Content Consumer Start... which began as the Charus breeder scenario....

 

I've gotten to the point where Danica removed the Spider eggs....

 

Now my journal says "discover how to harvest ingredients from parasites"... but I don't have a quest marker.

 

I talked to Danica... no help

Apothecaries in White run... no help
Red the Charus biology book... no help unless I missed it....

 

How do I get the quest to continue?

 

[Nepro]

Quickie test modlet: this alters the leveled list for albino spider pods (Dragonborn DLC required). Harvesting albino spider pods gives you a 50% chance to get infected with a facehugger parasite.

 

 

 

Actually, there are new items, identical in appearance to normal albino spider pods and damaged albino spider pods. Harvesting the originals won't cause any problems, but harvesting the new items will give you a 25% chance to get a face-hugger and 25% chance to get a hip-hugger.

 

 

 

I'm just putting this here in case anyone's interested.

Does it support followers?

It just uses the standard SD+ modevents, I believe.

There is a way to change living armor model? I Want to use aradia one http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/1253-aradia-living-armor-jellyfish-edition-4232015/ .

There is a way to change living armor model? I Want to use aradia one http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/1253-aradia-living-armor-jellyfish-edition-4232015/ .

 

You have 2 options.

 

1. Get the meshes from the aradia one, and copy them into where the meshes in this mod are. (Make sure the mesh names are the same as the ones you want to overwrite, or it won't work.)

 

2. Go to the CK and change the armoraddon to the aradia meshes. (You can also do this in TES5Edit, but it is harder.)

 

In both options, if done correctly, then the aradia meshes will show up instead of this mod's meshes.

Kyne's Blessing has no folder for meshes, and last i tryed to change something in jellyfish edition it not end up well, but i will try anyway(jellyfish has different kind of niioverride values)

I forgot it uses one of those wretched .bsa files. (I hate them.)

 

You're gonna have to find a .bsa extractor program and extract the meshes folder, then replace the meshes as I said above.

Can you please send me a walkthrough of the quests for this mod ????

first go to morthal near the abandoned hut where you will be meeting astrid for first time,there u will meet a woman named lastelle.talk to her the quests will start

[Nazzzgul666]

Something that you might find useful as resource, if somebody can make a bodyslide conversion: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60162/?

*edit: what i have especially in mind for those is that you go swimming and either after getting out or while swimming you find yourself wearing... armor.

Less about the bikini, but it has some nice stuff. Maybe no conversion necessary.

Do you think it is possible, perhaps in collaboration with Bane Master from the Estrus Chaurus mod for the Slime attack to make the slime a creature? that after picking creepy clusters there is a chance you see colored blob of slime rolling toward the victim. Since the face/hip hugger has the wrapping around thing it might be a more unique feature if the slime would first stimulate its victim with the purpuse of it then being easier to slither itself inside the then aroused victim.  I suppose it would require some belly-scaling thing to make it visible that a slime creature made itself home within the victim her body. 

 

There could even be a male victim version for a slime attack. the slime arousing the male by clenching around his penis in order to feed off his semen. for visual eye candy it be a step further to have the slime take on the shape of a young woman, seeing the victim its penis through its transparant body where a human female her vagina would be.. 

 

Just rambling out some slime related animation/event ideas here though:)

Oh how I love this idea, I wish there was a slime like creature similar to the slime creatures in H-Games which seek out young women to mate and procreate with.

I'd love the idea of attaching to you and able to give you some bonuses for being attached, perhaps resistance to fire or something.

And of course a personal favorite would be if you are able to become pregnant and breed some offspring with a possible consensual quest would be pretty nice too.

There could be a time pass by to prepare the womb for impregnation like a burrowing phase and such before pregnancy is possible.

But yea Slimes would be pretty cool in Parasites.

I can't seem to get passed the Frostflow Lighthouse. Anyone know where the Chaurus in distress is?

[DeepBlueFrog]

That quest stage is in the mod but it is not active yet.

 

I am assuming you are going by what the console or editor shows?

I can't begin the quest or get infected. I find the woman in Morthal, she says something along the lines of "watch this" or "it's happening" and then a spider attacks. I can't kill her, she becomes aggressive. I really would like help, thanks. Sanguine's Debauchery doesn't work either fyi.

For some reason, as soon as I deliver the chaurus stud to Lastelle, both her and the chaurus become hostile. Any idea why?

EDIT: As soon as sex ends however, they both become friendly again, but as soon as the chaurus male sees me, both of them become hostile again...

 

Also, it seems I have yet another issue with this quest. After I speak to Danica in Whiterun, it tells me to go back to Lastelle in order to tell me what Danica told me. However, when I go back to that spot, she isn't there anymore. I even tried waiting a couple of hours.

Not sure about the faction issue but the second part is normal. Look around the mound with the crystals, Lastelle found a new home underground.
