Being a Cow

I'm having an issue with the nose ring part of the quest. Paul went to go get the nose ring, but he never comes back. He just starts walking over to the whiterun stables from Riverwood and just walks around there. I can't continue any of the dialogue options.

 

The "debug: Why are you still in Riverwood" shows up. I'm not sure if it's supposed to, but it doesn't do anything.

 

The other two options are "help me" to which he says "I'm busy" and "Why do you want to help me" to which he says "I like you" or something. These two options don't lead anywhere either.

 

I find it odd that every time I have Paul leave to get the nose ring, all the guards in Riverwood start following him out of town for a while.

 

I have the Unowned Quest, so I don't know what else to do.

The "Why are you still in Riverwood" option is designed to 'kick' Paul into heading to the whiterun stables. He still takes a long time to get there though. This also works if se starts walking from whiterun to riverwood to reset his res location to the proper place. The Unowned quest has you continue playing the game as normal until you meet three unfriendly npcs, make sure you save before they start a conversation. After them you will get an update to the quest depending on how your conversation ends.

Yes, but I never got the nose ring from Paul. He just sits around moving from place to place at the Whiterun stables and doesn't provide any more dialogue but the 3 I mentioned. I actually mixed up quests. I guess it's "Hammerheart" that does the nose ring? Unsure. I have two quests that ask me to talk to Paul right now. (Hammerheart and Unowned)

 

When it told me to "wait for Paul" after requesting the nose ring, he never came back and it just gave a debug message "wait for Paul - timeout". Basically, he went to go get the nose ring and once it times out he heads to Whiterun Stables. I think something is wrong.

 

 

Also an FYI, I tried using the "BAC scene stuck? try this" in the MCM and the game soft-freezes my character indefinitely after "updating actors".

You might need to update to the latest version of zaz. If your using version 7 then the quest doesn't proceed as it should. Any of the quests that have you getting items added like in Hammerheart and unowned you need the updated zaz for the mission tracker to list the right location and direct paul there.

Is there any way to disable "Force unequip/equip cow legs"?

I have installed Yiffy age and BAC, and my followers (if they turned to cow) all time reequiping cow/furry legs and weapon. (with sound of equiping weapon on repeat)

Maybe someone know how to fix this?

Feature request:

 

The ability to manage Milk Maids (listed in a separate MCM section):

 

A dropdown that holds each Milk Maid, the options for each would be:

 

Cow colors and at the end Disabled.  Disabled would stop the Milk Maid from transforming.

An update would be amazing. I don't know if @skyrimfet is still around or not, but if they are: your mod is amazing, update pl0x! ❤️

There should be an option in the MCM for which 'mutations' are active.

Does anyone know whether the "drug" that the hunters mention is actually a drug/potion or spell effect, or if it is just scripted?

I think its just scripted. Usually if its a consumable like a drug or potion you'd hear a 'swallowing' sound indicating you just ingested something.

If you're talking about when you get captured and they fill you up with a bunch of drugs, I have noticed that they feed you a few breast expansion potions and lactacid as a base, and then all of the ones in your inventory.

Interesting. I actually found in the script (for the second capture event in Riften, not the first one on the cart) that there are several times where the script will add 30 milks (liters? Whatever they are lol) to the character. I added a few more for myself (really wanting to simulate that they kept the poor woman for several days to turn her even more into a cow), as well as trying to mess with the timing of the last capture quest. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to keep more time in there for stuff to process, but I do think I made it a bit better. 

 

Am I the only person who refreshes this thread daily to see if @skyrimfet has come back from lurking? So much potential for additional quests and stuff... I wish I had even a sliver of modding capability, I'd try to add more story and quests.

I check my LL notifications daily for thread replies here. I wish there were more capture scenarios where the player was force fed milk and lactacid and such. I feel the same way about modding capability. I tried to learn but things quickly got too complicated for me.

Well, for those of us here waiting for @skyrimfet to hopefully return, I actually made changes to the mod that may/may not be of use for anyone, though it does need (not by something I did), a regiment to get it working (basically any lagged scripts running in it won't refresh, so there is a way to do it, will explain below).

 

So what I did was:

 

• Fixed a few typos.
• Fixed the update code having a typo that caused an array to be out of bounds.
• Removed the color setting from Settings (relocated it elsewhere + extras).
• Updated the Milkmaids section to offer the ability to see each Milkmaid's progress [right side] and offer color change per Milkmaid.
• Milkmaid section also offers the ability to set any actor to "Not a Cow!", so they lose their "cow status" and revert back.  It's included in the color selector.

I've commented where I start/stop changes to the mod, so when @skyrimfet returns, he can easily see what I did.  There are 4 scripts changed, not sure if the Special Edition has the same scripts (can't see it not), then those will work on it as well (if it exists, never looked).

 

When you install the mod, if you have a player you want to remove from Being a Cow, but still allow NPCs to become them, you'll need to:

 

• Go somewhere alone (player only cell, room, house, whichever)
• Disable the mod (in About).
• Look at your watch/clock/phone for one minute.
• Save the game.
• Quit to the Desktop or Main Menu (untested).
• (If Quit to Desktop, reload game.)
• Load game back in.
• Enable mod again (in About).

The watchdog spell added to each cow can get quite laggy and offers immersion, sadly, it causes the spell to be stuck in the savegame making it reuse that old version which will keep re-adding the spell that causes random comments about your cowness and such, but once you do this on a save where you want to stop the player from being a cow (can be done at any level, but if you pick a color, expect to jump right back to where you were level wise).

 

Let me know if anything blows up, shouldn't, tested this yesterday when I made the changes and did some fine tuning of stuff today, only took about 4 hours + testing.

 

Installation:

 

Drag Scripts folder to your Data folder, super easy.

 

Uninstallation:

 

Find bac_main, bac_mcm and bac_actor scripts and sources, remove them.  Keep the bac_update, it fixes a simple typo bug.

Thanks GuruSR! Quick Question; which version of BAC are your updated scripts based off? I know there's a few versions floating around the thread, and when I added it to the game I noticed some changes skyrimfet had made last (back in January, post #3170) disappeared from the MCM, such as the "mutation" menu.  It also caught a message saying it had been upgraded from 5.1 to 4.6 (I think).

 

Perhaps it's worth adding the version you used  to your post so people can check first.

This is definitely some version of 1.7. Leveling my cow up had (X/20) as opposed to (X/26).

Would anyone be able to make the 4/6 boobs from MME compatible with this without it messing up the fur?

Would be nice if you had based the scripts off the latest version. Oh well. I guess I Shouldn't update to this then, even though I kind of want it.

Love The Mod! Any idea when a new update will drop? No rush of course!

Since the multiboobs are an armor piece, you can't apply a skin texture to them, but maybe someone could edit the texture to make different versions for the color/cow level? Then... add a mutation to include them as a part of the mod as opposed to using MME's handling of it? That could be a good idea.

Does anyone know why Paul won't equip anything more on me? I got my (foot) hooves done, but when I go up to him again he just says to come back later even though I'm stage 20 cow. (He also didn't equip the nose ring on me, but that's fine, I'm just wondering why he won't do anything)

There's a timer between when he'll install things. Not related to your transformation.

I just sped up time via the timescale command from 14th of sun's dusk to 19th of morning star, which is more than a month ingame. I also waited for an hour, fast travelled back, did the merchant punch thing that resets their inventory just in case that did anything... He still won't equip a thing on me
