SexLab Parasites - Kyne's Blessing (January 2025)

[DeepBlueFrog]

I have no idea why the quest reset on you like that but I can tell you that it only relies on quest stages done to progress further.

 

That means Lastelle reappearing for some reason should not set you back.

 

Removing a parasite manually should not set you back either.

 

Once a quest stage is done, it is done.

I hope this will help you out on places that need to be looked at in the mod that may have issues, I was able to complete the Chaurus Queen quest only seeing a few issues,  and a few issues with the new textures/meshes. All I can say is your mod is one of my favorite Mods and I can see so much potential for it, I just wish I know more about the code you use to create the mods so I could help you out you seem like you are spread pretty thin as it is.

 

I have attacked a .docx file so that you can look it over, I just hope it is clear and concise as you need it to be,

My conclusion as to why some issues are happening is somewhere during the upgrade to the next version it is getting corrupted. I am not sure if it is due to the way the users of the mod is upgrading it or it is the way it is being upgrades when it is installing and moving from previous version to a new version. I am pretty sure that is what is happening and why some aspects of the mod stop functioning correctly.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

Thanks for the detailed description.. Before I take a close look of what you reported, are you using the LE or SE version again?

I was on the part of the chaurus queen quest where I had to bring the two huggers to Danica to enter the sanctuary. I was having in a cave trying to get the hip hugger but got the living armor attached when I fell into a pool of water. After going through 50+ broken repellents and coming here to find out they don't work, I removed the living armor using this mod's MCM option. A few days later, I notice that the Chaurus Queen quest is no longer in my journal, and on a hunch I went to the brood cavern area with the giant crystals and found that Lastelle had respawned, and she was going to give me the quest from the beginning. There's some serious issues with this mod if it's going to restart from the beginning because Lastelle had mysteriously respawned. Why did she respawn in the first place? Why would the mod completely reset itself just because I had to remove the living armor through the MCM? Are there any other parasites I should turn off because they are broken and cannot be removed? Does waiting long enough for a cell like the area where Lastelle is resets cause the entire questline to reset? If so, then how would it be possible to complete it if you have to wait 10+ days for the flares to finally give you queen abilities unless you go back to Lastelle's location every few days just to keep it from resetting?

How did you update to the new Version? I am thinking I did the update the same way because on one of my other run throughs I seen the same thing, I removed the mod then installed the new version, I am wondering if this may brake the mod.

 

If you are seen issues of devices or parasites not being added to your PC you can see if you have something still on your character if you go to the console and be sure you have clicked on your character and see "00000014" type inv and it will show you everything you have on your PC anything  that has "(xxxxxxxx)"  there will by a 8 number/letter code for example"(658975dd)" ans if above that ASCII code, it does not have "1-purple ball gag (658975dc)" then it is something that was not removed correctly and simply do a "removeitem 658975dd 1" and it will remove it. Be carful this could cause issues by using this method, though it maybe slim, always do a hard save before removing anything through the console just in case

 

You can also do the removal of items that was not removed correctly through the debug section in cured loot and or devious devices, but doing it though cursed loot it will either complete any other bondage quests you are in the middle of and through devious it can break those quests. So I would also do a hard save just to be on the safe side

SE I guess I should have put that in as well.

Reactions of Followers to Pheromones

 

The easy answer is that it is more immersive if followers are not affected when YOU are the one ingesting the pheromone potion. 

You have to tell them to stay put (in Morthal maybe) and do that part of the quest solo.

 

The longer answer is that it is hard to detect your followers at the time of ingestion and apply the same effect to them as well.

Reactions of other spiders/chaurus to Pheromones

 

That should be improved in the next version.

 

Distorted mesh on followers/Lastelle

 

I didn't experience anything like that in my tests. Maybe a conversion issue? or bodyslides/mesh issue?

 

Brood appears on fast travel (first brood only)

 

I am testing disabling the default templates NPCs I use for summons in Dimensional Rift. I will see if that helps.

I never noticed it because I never use fast travel myself (only the coc console command when testing parts of the quest).

Default messages for face huggers

 

I tried to customize default device messages for parasites but some messages still linger.

I haven't been able to track down a few messages including the ones you listed.

Does the Living Armor (and Tentacle Armor) act as chastity belt? Was wearing Living Armor and triggered Estrus Chaurus animation. SLSO did not show any increase in excitement and did not end in orgasm.

 

Probably could RP in different ways. Would like to see if when wearing any of the parasite armor, the EC animations result in uncontrollable and multiple orgasms not the lack of them.

 

Either way, the more I use this mod, the more I enjoy it. Awesome job!!

I did leave them behind had to, it would have never followed me, I always left them at the cabin when I had a follower. Yeah I know you have a lot going on at one time.

 

Distorted mesh on followers/Lastelle

 

I did run the slider you put out so, that was my wonder if it was a conversion issues or a slide issue as you stated or a combination of both. 

 

Brood appears on fast travel (first brood only)

 

2 way I can think of resolving this issue is putting them in a friendly faction that will attack only if attacked, player is attacked or they are attacked which would me creating their own faction or putting them under the players faction just not sure how that will play out on follower mechanics when it comes to attacking ever one, I think if you could set something up to stop the attacks from them it would not matter if they randomly show up.

 

I did notice something with this version, do you have ant mechanics that summons a chaurus spawn if the PC is attacked? I have seen this happen twice which is kind of cool as long as you can dismiss them.

Yes.. a chaurus can be summoned if you get attacked while you are wearing a chaurus queen item - vaginal pincer, skin, armor or body.

Forgive me for asking, but how do I find the pheromone fix on github? I'm kind of lost.

GitHub is meant for testing and require to tinker with the code.
 

I suggest you wait for a week or so until I release the next update.

[Mailboxhozers]

BTW it's not just chaurus that its not working for, spiders also have been having the same issues because when I was forcing the quest steps with setquest everything else seemed to work fine but those two and without the interactions you cant get some of the abilities from both creatures. So its something with both potions that isn't wanting to work properly and show up as effects in the magic menu too. Just something I noticed when I did some messing around on SE.

[Papersword]

I'm fairly certain it's been addressed somewhere in the thread but, I can't seem to find an answer. Was the issue with Face/Hip huggers being removed with DD keys addressed? I still seem to be able to take the facehugger off with a key. I try not to interact with them because once you take them off that way it won't go back on. I know you can learn how to take them off from Danica, right? Using fire salts or something. I don't get the interaction with them to  use an ingredient. 

[Ironeater]

how long do the queen stages usually take?  I've been stuck on stage 2 for a few days  the mod menu says I've been on stage 2  for 40 days

I have been trying to lock down the parasites as Devious Devices but I keep missing things.

DD is a fairly complex system when it comes to creating custom 'organic' devices like parasites and it is very easy to get lost in the many messages and options.

In my tests, I am usually reaching stage 3 in under 10 days. 

Stage 4 is reached when you mate with a spider after talking to Danica (and reaching stage 3) and unlock spider powers.

Stage 5 is reached when you become Queen.

 

Something seems to be causing delays for some people but I don't know what yet,

The next version will have more fixes about the potions. It should be out as soon as possible (next week maybe).

Making progress with the conversion of the Spriggan infection to Parasites.

 

I added a new full face mask by default as well as enhanced textures.

The old half mask will be added to the Alternate Assets folder.

 

I am running into an issue with the feet piece. I will disable them as an equipable parasite for now.

 

I still have a lot of things to do before I can release this version:

 

- Add and test a trigger for the infection (combat with Spriggans)

- Add and test random events to make the infection progress from hands to full body to face.

- Add and test ways to cure the infection. It will be a chronic infection. You will have ways to reduce the effects and clear the infection to your hands only using a potion for a while. There will be also a way to fully clear the infection.

- Update SD+ to call effects from parasites. Advanced powers like transform in to a full Spriggan will remain in SD+ until I have time to recreate them. The custom Spriggan cave near Kynesgrove will remain in SD+ as well.

Thank you for all the time you put towards this. I know DD is an ungainly beast at the best of times. I did a clean save sweep on Parasites to see if wiping away old ver. data clears up the oddities I have. Just wanted to check if I clearly had a problem in my game; if the issue was definitively fixed.

[Ironeater]

I got no clue  the queen parasite just up and disappeared out of my inventory mcm still says I'm on sage 2 and 60 days   so I re infected my character with the first stage again through the mcm  curious if I should  just start a new character the quest in my log is still talking about finding out what happened to Lastia in the cave  and the book I think 

[Pristbeast]

Can't wait to try the Spriggan Infections once it gets added (and ported to SE).
I don't care that much about the other Parasites but the Chaurus Queen and soon the Spriggan Infection are right up my alley.

Some sort of Dragon Infection would be amazing. But running around Skyrim as a bug Monster while spitting acid and shooting Ice Lances at Bandits, Dragons, Animals and other things is pretty damn awesome.

Can you share a screenshot of your journal?

 

That stage should have been cleared long before the Kyne Blessing ritual.

[Ironeater]

here's a SS of the quest tab and the mcm, only thing I can think of is I had completed the quest up to the seed stone with an older version of the mod and updated to the newest version a few weeks ago  I'm guessing ill just have to start a new character but ill give it a few more days I guess

I guess I need to add more ways to clear up objectives after certain points.

 

Did you find Lastelle's corpse before talking to Danica about replacing her?

 

I did fix a potential issue with the random effects once you pass 10 days. That will be part of the next update coming up in a few days.

[Ironeater]

its been a few months but I'm pretty sure I went and found the body only thing in cave now is a churos hunter pod, and I prolly should have stated earlier but I play Skyrim SE I know the SE version lags behind a bit of your main release

That's possible.

The next version will have more fixes in a few days. But you will have to wait until a conversion is made of course.

[Copy from a post in my beta testin gthread]

 

I will miss today's window for an update of my mods for May, but I am in the final round of testing for the Spriggan parasite and I will wait a few more days before posting an update.

 

The next target for an update is this coming weekend, June 6th at the most (maybe earlier if I don't run into anything bad).

 

The Spriggan parasite is functional but more limited than I had hoped to get at this point.

I lost a lot of time troubleshooting crowd control issues to shut down combat if you get infected.

 

Right now, you can get infected, have the infection grow, and have a way to clear up the infection. 

I will add more effects in coming months. 

 

For now, I need to finish testing, post an update and move on to the next mods on my list (I am getting sick of testing the same sequences in Parasites again and again).
