SexLab Parasites - Kyne's Blessing (January 2025)

[IHiver]

there were problems with parasites, the LE version. I started a new game, the problems disappeared.

[ShiftyV]

Should've known things wouldn't stay smooth lmao. New issue encountered

 

 

Is there something I'm missing? Or does the skin simply not support beast races?

 

(Using CBBE 3BA)

The mask is optional.. it is not supposed to appear at regular intervals.

 

Can you share a screenshot of your quest Journal?

Basically what happens is occasionally, I get the cramps message, Chaurus Queen Skin is equipped, later on the "tentacles retract", and it disappears again.

Update: I updated the mod, went and got boned by a Chaurus, now I have the spells to add/remove the armour and mask.

Quest can now proceed. Happy days!

Are you ever tried apply the spider skeleton to the Hugger's to make them a real creature?

That's beyond my skills.
I found a mod that already did that but they prohibited redistribution of their assets in other mods.

I'm stuck on stage 280 of the _SLP_Qst_QueenofChaurus and I have no idea how to progress since I don't know the quest stages Danica won't do the ritual even after I moveto player'd her into the underground Sanctuary.

Edit: The quest randomly progressed ?

Now I'm on stage 310 which requires to brew a spider pheromone potion + find a spider to mate with. I've done that, had spider eggs left in my character, but I don't have another progression in the quest? I'll wait some more and hope it randomly clicks in like stage 280 did.

Edit: just forcibly progressed the stagequest to 320 using console  I think if you enable god mode but dont disable it the effects wont happen

question, does any one else have chorus brood randomly show up when you fast travel?  I make sure to use the brood dismiss spell but ever so often ill fast travel to whiterun and then their are some friendly chorus there with me and they start attacking guards and the like 

I had that happen today; I thought it was 'working as intended'.  The Chauruses (Chaurii?) killed Belethor and someone else, too.

Using SE and Kyne's Blessing version 2021-04-10.

[playertech]

Just curious, just ended the Chaurus queen's life, is that basically the end of the mod (ignoring going and talking to Danica about her death)? Or is there actually a use for the spider variant of that power?

 

Also, bug encountered, tried to get the chaurus mask, the power was never given to me, had to console force it in.

Chaurus queen question:

1) the acid absorption? spell:  is that some sort of recharge spell for the acid spray spell?

2) not strictly C.Q but - I noticed that when i enter combat, - charus are auto summoned.  I love that...  can you make any mode recommendations that would allow along these lines:
         a) make them super horny, so after combat - the blessing was, "queen is in danger" protect..  the "curse " is:  hive is endanger, mate with queen
         b) I know EC+ allows for npcs to be impregnated. any ideas how to send forth my hive and have them seek out mates in non combat prob a spell, not auto)
         c)  some sort of need mechanic , where idk- the "infection" i have essentially forces me to once a month return to brooding grounds, get preggo, and 2-3 days later deliver a new clutch?

3)  I very much loved the quest too, and the books...  keep kicking ass!    but if i follow the "mechanics" correctly...  If i wanted to "cheat"  
           a) - MCM menu to unlock C.Q items/become C.Q then --->
            b)   mate with a chaurus to get the spells added

4)  I kind of get the feeling that one can be both preggo with EC+ and preggo with SLP?

5) kind of an idea vs question but - suppose you could summon chaurus both as a defense mechanism, but could also summon them- tell them to roam the wild freely, reproducing, killing, - you know, chaurus things...  and just kind of randomly during your travels, you find your chaurus, or evidence of it (say an egg sac next to a dead victim), or you find alot of hatchlings scurrying around.. i guess "grand kids" of yours..  sometimes you find evidence that towns have been fighting a bug problem..  /shrug, just an idea..

anyway, thanks again!

[DrunkMag]

tell what i'm doing wrong
I have slif and this mod. Slif if above in load order. For some reason 
1) bodyparts don't change when parasites are equipped (belly at least; tested with worms and spider eggs)
2) slif does not see this mod .-. Can't figure out why

Not recharge spell for acid spray... but a healing spell for yourself.

EC+ infection works with the chaurus brood. They already spit at NPCs and trigger tentacle attacks and infections.

Dialogues (with SD+) already allows Chaurus to randomly jump you. I can add that effect to Parasites (I can't remember if I already did or not)

3)  I very much loved the quest too, and the books...  keep kicking ass!    but if i follow the "mechanics" correctly...  If i wanted to "cheat"  
           a) - MCM menu to unlock C.Q items/become C.Q then --->
            b)   mate with a chaurus to get the spells added

 

I wouldn't recommend it. Using MCM to fast track the spells will skip some important quest stages and probably break the mod.

Use the MCM checkbox for the queen powers only to test them. Not for game play.

4)  I kind of get the feeling that one can be both preggo with EC+ and preggo with SLP?

 

Yes.. two different mechanisms and two Lore explanations too.

My goal is to have the queen produce eggs regularly once the quest is over,

 

Spoiler

Eggs from EC+ are already formed and inserted inside you by the Tentacles.

Eggs from Parasites are produced by the Queen herself.

Also note that Parasites can trigger an Egg pregnancy from EC+ if it is installed.

5) kind of an idea vs question but - suppose you could summon chaurus both as a defense mechanism, but could also summon them- tell them to roam the wild freely, reproducing, killing, - you know, chaurus things...  and just kind of randomly during your travels, you find your chaurus, or evidence of it (say an egg sac next to a dead victim), or you find alot of hatchlings scurrying around.. i guess "grand kids" of yours..  sometimes you find evidence that towns have been fighting a bug problem..  /shrug, just an idea..

 

People are already experiencing issues with chaurus spawning on fast travel and causing havok.

I would rather work on fixing that than add more chance for the chaurus to break things

The egg sacs and random victims are a good idea. It would work in a similar way as the random encounters if I had more time to make this work.

I'm also stuck on stage 310. My character has made the spider pheromones and used them with multiple spiders. Went into Chillwind Depths and had a go with those spiders. She got filled with spider eggs, and had them removed after a few more sexual encounters with the spiders, but the quest refuses to advance on its own. By the way, I've had to use matchmaker to get the spiders to have sex with my character. The pheromones do nothing but calm them. They don't automatically have sex with my character after she uses the pheromones.

 Out of curiosity-  with the spawning on fast travel...
    what about adding more condition checks, or another check? or what would "break" with adding another?
                  For example....  could have "if in combat, spawn x."    or, "If in combat AND lost 15% starting health spawn x" ?

Also - one kind of "noticeable"? thing I discoverd..
    so, im the chaurus queen, in the armor (the form with the chaurus on my back).  and im running low on eggs - so recharge time...  well - everytime i try to recharge, i get stuck with a devious device solo one.  the poor Chaurus is left making it with the air..  I was kind of thinking that the heavy armor was intended to be a transformation (akin to a werewolf) vs a permanent thing?  or should i check some strip settings in an mcm?  (in the light armor version this isnt a issue)


bit of the carry over from egg sacs and random victims,...

Its not that there is necessarily a war between chaurus tribes for dominance..  atleast in terms of the tribes queen.  That being said... if "all the existing chaurus" up until the final show down are from the previous queen  then ofcourse? the random victims and egg sacs after would be your children...

the actual humanoid victims, --- > are they now friendly to you because they are infected by "your" sickness?
can you tell the victims --->  "need more eggs"?
can you send victims to towns saying ---> build a hive"

Even if the hive in said town is friendly to you when you walk in, and friendly to the chaurus running around - they are loyal to you- so..

example - you stumble across a random victim on the way to white run....  tell the victim to "go build a hive in whiterun"    the Victim goes... and at somepoint the next time you visit - you see a dozen little critters running around...   no one is attacking or anything.....  but suddenly when belethor or a guard says something smart and you smack em- all hell breaks lose- the chaurus definitely know and protect their queen.. even though the queen didnt necessarily lay those particulars..  maybe when you exit town, there is a cooldown, combat stops... the essential folk regain composure, the non essentials stay dead..  and when you re-enter random comments include "all hail the queen"

I picked up the Seed Stone early while doing Discerning the Transmundane, before I started the Brood Maiden quest. I'm back at Sinderion's Field Lab, with the Seed Stone in my inventory, but I can't find the other item that I'm supposed to be looking for. Some notes of some kind? What are they called? There's nothing left on the desk in Sinderion's lab; must have cleared the place out during my first time there.

Never mind, I found Sinderion's Field Notes, they were in a chest in one of my houses.

Hello, I have a question : how many days do I need to wait after doing the ritual ? According to MCM it's been 39 days already and I'm still at chaurus queen stage 1 and only have the vaginal chaurus queen thing.

I ended up making it to 70+ days, I figured it must have been a bug cuz I updated the mod in the middle of the quest . I started a new character and everything worked fine. I realize this helps you in no way  sorry just tossing it here in case it really is a bug associated with updating the mod in the middle of the quest

There is an issue with the quest progression at that stage with SE.

I would have fixed it in the last LE version but SE hasn't been updated yet.

Nevermind - I finally got a chance to do more testing and I see I missed some more debug messages.

I will have another hotfix out soon.

 

did this hotfix every come out? was that the B file that fixed the debug? using SE version for latest so just wondering

That's what I mean in the message above.

That should be fixed in version 0531b but that version has not been ported to SE yet.

Is there a way to disable or toggle the base body where the retracted feelers are replacing the nipples and another pair of retracted feelers are on the ribs, but everything else is normal? It's causing some aesthetic issues with my CBBE preset, there are seams on the wrists, ankles, and neck when my character is naked. I'm also using The Amazing World of Bikini Armor and whenever I put on a top from that mod that exposes the midriff, the rib feelers on my character's body disappear, but reappear if I take all her clothes off.

 

Something weird I noticed is that when I rebuild or change CBBE body presets, my character's body goes back to normal, but when I use the Chaurus armor or body power, when I change back my character has the feeler nipples again.

So it seems like any spell can potentially trigger spriggan infection. I was just doing the quest to join the college of winterhold, and when Tolfdir cast the spell and I blocked it with a ward, I got a message saying "Spriggan Infection failed." (I'm assuming it failed because I set all the values for Spriggan infection to zero in the menu.) Either that, or every spell that doesn't infect still gives a failure notification. Because vampires, necromancers, tolfdir, etc. all give me that message when I am hit by a spell.

Same, I've noticed Spriggan Infection failing goes off constantly.  I don't have it set to 0.  I haven't figured out the trigger as it's occurred in multiple scenarios.

Ditto.  Every time I get hit by an NPC, that message comes up.

Since you don't have it set to zero, my new guess is that the notification for failure is supposed to be hidden but the script is tied to any hit taken. And success can only come from Spriggan attacks.

 

Of course, you could test this theory by setting it to 100 for spriggan stuff and seing if a non-spriggan attack sets off the infection. I recommend going to the broken teeth cave by whiterun. It only spawns vampires and skeletons. If vampire drain makes you a spriggan, there's a problem. If it just gives a fail notification, then the issue is just that we can see notifications from any attack that doesn't infect.

 

But I didn't make the mod and don't understand this sort of stuff well. I'm just working off my own logic and guesses here lol. For all I know there's a lot more too this.
