had this and another big mod in works but real life is too busy to continue work any time soon, do not know when will be done now

[LynErso666]

I cant even get this mod to see my spouse im the MCM. Iz a paperweight in my LO. It seems completely incapable of even filling the proper quest alias for the spouse. Like what gives? No voice type I give the NPC seems to make a difference.

A few more questions:

1. After the ceremony, did you get a notification in the top left hand corner of your screen saying that your master bed was set in Breezehome?

2. Did the spells (Lover's Sanctuary, ect) appear in your spell list?

3. Do you have any mods installed that edit vanilla beds?

 

O no! This latches on to the vanilla game wedding quest? Bad form. 😆 Very bad idea now that I think about it. This should use a faction or something.  Maybe just a keyword. Something simple. Like how anyone can be a follower but the dialogue options simply dont show if they dont have the right voice type. I wish this functioned more open and with no strings attached. Relying on the vanilla marriage system iz a friggin family of deal breakers for me from now on. 😭😭😭

If somebody like actually does continue this, plzzzzzz 🥺 detach this completely from the marriage system and activate it whenever the dam user clicks a button on a person, no reqs, no nothing. Too many mods that have very very little to do with the marriage quest but go wild relying on it completely needlessly. Like look at NFF's elope system. It accomplishes a complete patch-in to the vanilla marriage system with no reliance on its changes. I don't even have anything altering the vanilla marriage quests and scripts, and this still dont work tho. Not on latest AE anyways. This was kinda amazeballs once. I'm pretty sure it is ripe for a simplification overhaul. Iz doing way too much for the little it even would do if it worked flawlessly.

I remember using this and it working perfectly in like 2020 or 2021 tho. 😔 I tried again in 2023 and immediately gave up and now once again. O dear. Any mods with approaches seem to be either falling behind or just...being really uneventful boring approach mods like the newer ones coming out. 🫠

My spouse is not showing up in the SpousesEnhanced MCM. Is there a console command to correct this?

 

Been using this mod for years and love it and have never run into this issue. Just started a new play through and the only difference is that I upgraded to the latest Serana Dialogue Add-On. Could that have borked SpousesEnhanced?

Does this work with Serana Dialogue Addon? Not worried about VA Overlap, but Will SDA Marriage work with this? im gonna try it, but Im just asking this here in case i get a reply before Marrying her

This worked flawlessly with earlier versions of "Serana Dialogue Add-On" and "Marry Me Serana." I just upgraded to the latest version of SDA and started a new play through - completely borked. Spouses Enhanced no longer works alongside SDA, probably because of the new marriage mechanic in SDA v4.1.1. It seems that Serana is not added to the vanilla marriage faction so SpousesEnhanced doesn't recognize her. Complete bummer.

 

I've been using this mod for years with the two aforementioned mods and it has worked without issue, but it looks as though it may be IT IS incompatible with the latest version of SDA. I'm thinking about downgrading to a previous version because, so far, I haven't noticed a significantly positive difference between 4.1.1 and 3.2.1 (still available at Nexus as of 27 May 2025), and 3.2.1 worked flawlessly.

 

Personally, I see no substantive difference in the later versions of SDA. I was really hyped about the new version until I actually played it. Got about 30 hours into a new playthrough and realized the new version of SDA is a pale shadow of the older versions. v3.2.1 worked with so many other mods flawlessly. Since 3.3.2 it's been a crapshoot.

 

If you really, really love SpousesEnhanced and SeranaDialogueAdd-On then stick with the older versions of SDA. Luckily, I'm a packrat and I don't throw anything away, so I have versions going all the way back to SDA 2.7.2. The mod author has, in my opinion, taken a rather paternalistic approach to Serana, deciding his take on the character is the only take. Not very conducive to Role Play. I always liked that fact that with SDA (v3.2.1 and older) and SE you could walk in the house and be ravaged by Serana. That is like - real life. Isn't that what a role-playing game (and its attendant mods) should aim for at the end of the day?

when ostim version is release, can select spouse manually to overcome those issues. a lot of other useful changes included. think done, but need to do testing for bugs

Does anyone use or know of any multiple marriages mod that works well with this one? Since this is hard-baked into my playthrough, I'd rather not haphazardly add any additional marriage mods before knowing for certain things don't get borked

[Femboy2137]

Update Please i need that mod soo bad >\\\<

[sexile]

is there a good animation pack for the kissing and cuddling options? when I kiss my spouse my player just starts banging them like crazy 😭😭

[KentuckyExpat]

I use a Breezehome replacer mod, Breezehome TNF Expanded for SSE Redux: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/25078. If I don't have Spouses Enhanced enabled, everything works fine. If I enable Spouses Enhanced, the master bed reverts to the low end bed that appears when you first buy Breezehome, before purchasing any of the upgrades. If I try to have both mods enabled with Breezehome TNF Expanded for SSE Redux set to load after Spouses Enhanced I still get the old bed. Anyone have any suggestions? I can live without Spouses Enhanced in my load order but I would prefer not to.

This patch theoretically should work, it use tnf bed ID adding it to this mod form list.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

[OldManDucky]

I have installed:

GOG Skyrim 1.6.1179.0,

Nether's Follower Framework 2.8.3beta,

SkyUI_5_2_SE,

Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia 4.2.2,

SKSE 0.2.2.6,

SexLab 1.6.3,

Fuz Ro D'oh (GOG Edition)

 

Been through the stock marriage ceremony. Lydis's Dialogue reflects we're married. Nether's shows Lydia as my wife. But spouses Enhanced shows wife as none.

 

Any suggestions?

 

[jakeeee22334]

To validate that athe mod is working... marry the vanillaest of NPCs... Uthgerd, Ysolda, Lydia... before trying custom NPCs.  After marriage, go to the MCM and (for testing purposes) advance your spouse's affection to lvl4.  You should see a "My Love..." prompt in your spouse's dialogue choices now.

 

This mod is worth it... and I have tried them all.  It is the ONLY sexlab based mod I still use in my system(the rest being Ostim based).  Being greeted (and ravaged) by my spouse when I return home from an adventure is just too good.   Morning affection is also up there on the scale.

I tried a few, all of the ones available on Nexus... none worked. (I mean, they "worked" for Marriage, but Spouses Enhanced did not recognize them as a spouse.

 

Looks loike this mod is LOCKED to the vanillaest marriage.

 

on the flip side... divorce/remarry works well, and does not break Spouses Enhanced.

I used this mod to divorce, reset marriage quest reliably:

Of all the spouses I have tried, Lydia IFD has the most voiced lines including post coital ones. (very few followers have post coital commentary)

Lol, what a coincidence, I ended up going with that mod, too. I haven't tried any NPCs outside of the intended vanilla choices, including modded followers, guess I'll always be a basic bitch Ysolda wifey. Upside, the Amorous Adventures mod goes great with Spouses Enhanced for immersion, especially if you're going vanilla spouses. Fitting topic for my 69th post

Can this work with Seperate Orgasms instead of the default animation?

[Zoranus]

This is one of my favorite mods, I love romantic and sexual spouse stuff which is very rare to see added in the modding community. But SpousesEnhancedSE has a few downsides:

• Custom Followers that don't have a vanilla marriage don't get picked up by SpousesEnhanced.
• Custom Followers that become lovers in their story (Such as Auri) and don't have marriage at all don't qualify for SpousesEnhanced.
• NFF Follower's Elope function doesn't always trigger SpousesEnhanced's reading of the spouse for some reason(?)
• If you like the SDA Add-On for Serana, it's not very compatible like normal Serana would be.

Thus, I looked at it and found a way to make any NPC become the "spouse" of SpousesEnhanced. I implemented this via a lesser power I added to the player and would use it on the NPC. The NPC would then be registered in SpousesEnhanced as the Spouse. This potentially works great for custom followers that establish themselves as lovers or custom followers with custom marriage as the dialogue is vague enough to be interpreted for wife/husband or lover. 

It also comes with the additional ability of being able to switch who your registered spouse if you reuse the power on someone else. You are still limited to one at a time.

It needs more testing, but if there is interest, I can upload it either as an add on .esp or a new version of this mod rather than keep it just as a personal tweak.

Here's a fun one. I have Skyrim SE 1.6.117, and I'm using the correct SL and Spouses Enhanced. When I select the kissing option, instead of kissing (and I do have that animation toggled), my spouse and I go into a sex scene with all of our clothes on. When I use Matchmaker, clothing comes off. I tried looking for a setting I might have missed, but don't see anything that would cause this. Mod load order through TOOL. Using CBBE, CBPC, and 3BA. Maybe there's a mod that forces clothing removal for all sexlab scenes or a patch someone knows about?

[almost0131]

Having issue where after kissing spouse constantly follows me around trying to initiate conversation but it just opens up a dialogue tree for me and nothing specific from them. Nothing I do will stop it.
