  • If you want to have the synthesized voices: download all `SCB_Voices' parts (3) to the same folder and install the .001 part (that is enough to install all parts if your mod managers supports multi-part archives, else repack to a single file).
  • Prebuilt armors are based on some UUNP preset. Use included bodyslide files to build your own preference.

  • Older version in case you run into issues and want to downgrade.

 

Mod Content: What is it/how does it work.

Spoiler

Originally inspired  by an oblivion mod called chainbeasts this mod adds lots of different types of beasts made of metal and chains to Skyrim (and Solstheim) along with related mechanics and quests and sandbox game play.   These so called Chain Beasts try to capture their targets, stripping and restraining them rather than killing them.  Being captured can lead to a range of `punishments' ranging from being put on display for a while to ending up in the slave market.  These outcomes can be controlled with the extensive MCM menu as can general difficulty and fit with play style such as player as victim vs dominant, gender preferences and who is targeted.

 

Examples of free roaming; how and where to encounter Chain Beasts:

Spoiler
  • Try activating a Chain Beast Mine (floating glow ball on a chain) and see what happens.
  • Run into Traps (Traps must be enabled in the MCM under plugins).
  • Encounter wild chain beasts. (Wild chain beast must be enabled in the MCM under plugins).

    • Different beasts may occur at different locations.

    • They are added to leveled list for standard wild beast encounters.

  • Summon Mines and your own Chain Beasts.

    • Learn the spells in quests, find spell books, or use the MCM.

    • Check Debug menu for spells not (yet) obtainable through game play.

    • Capture your enemies or ride through Skyrim in style.

 

Main quest line and examples of other quests (requires at least base mod + integration plugin):

Spoiler
  • Introduction  Beasts of Chain - a Chain Beast Discovery Quest, find out about chain beasts.
  • First steps Beauty and the Chain Beast:  Stop a Deadric plot to take over Skyrim. Or perhaps it was just a nightmare.
  • Quest hub: `TJH' : So where did these things come from? Someone has a theory. Serves as starting point for the other main quests.
  • Side Quest: Ebony Mine:  Yet another Deadric Prince thinks it's cool to enter your dreams and tell you to do things. (Especially useful for Dominant player)
  • More mini and side quests.

 

Mechanics - Capture

Spoiler

Chain Beasts will attempt to wear out targets by using their stamina damaging attack. Their attacks will `capture' victims when their stamina is low (configurable in MCM).

A captured victim is stripped of her/his items (which are dropped in a locked container). Captureable victims (of correct gender and of a playable race) are also equipped with some non-removable (see escaping below) ZAP metal bondage items each time they are captured.

 

After fully disabling their victims (4 devices equipped) the chain beast will capture the victim and attach. Several outcomes are possible such as the victim being taken to a nearby ZAP furniture. After a while (1min by default) the victim is released and the beasts will leave her alone (for a while at least) unless she is freed.  Other possible outcomes include being send to jail if PC has an open bounty, to simple slavery or locked in a cage instead placed in ZAZ furniture.

 

Mechanics - Escape

Spoiler

Picking up a chain beat key will release you from your bindings (but it consumes the key and chain beasts will be hostile again).

Keys can be found on dead chain beasts and in stripped item boxes.  (You can unequip devices manually with the console command UnequipAll but this will not end the `escape quest'. If needed it is better to use the MCM option `give a key' in the Skip menu.)

Blacksmiths can be asked for help, they may help ... or not, depends on whether they like you or what you are wearing.

To release NPCs, first release yourself, find an additional key and then talk to the NPC. This is a good way to make friends.  Helping your friends can also have benefits.

For stripped but not restrained NPCs you can just tell them to go recover their gear.

 

Plugin structure:

Spoiler

The mod is split into parts. The master file just provides the resources without really impacting the game world. Plugins provide functionality:

  •  Integration plugin:  Adds ZAZ furniture to several place is Skyrim and `Mines' that can summon beasts when attacked/activated.  In general it requires explicit player action for beasts to appear. Exceptions:
Spoiler
  • Traps are currently set to enabled by default.  You can disable them in the MCM
  • Pinepeak Cavern has a new inhabitant with some tricks up his sleeve
  • You can enable random beast encounters in the MCM
  • DB (dragonborn) adds mines and a new type of beast to Solstheim and a quest. Also, with this installed you'll need to visit Solstheim to finish one of the main quests. (REQUIRES: dragonborn).
  • PAH: Allows NPCs captured by player summoned beasts to be enslaved (REQUIRES: Paradise Halls Enhanced).
  • BAD: Marks Chain Beast as dwemer automaton, making them immune to certain magic effects (such as drain health).
  • WMP: Makes mobile prison weaker (multiple levels available).
  • FMEA: Tiny bridge to FMEA allowing use of Chain Beasts in one of its events (built in, no additional files needed).
  • SLUTS (resume) patch (REQURES: SLUTS (resume).
  • DDCV: use Dwarven Devious Cuirass Variations as alternate crawler armor for one type of beast. (Supports female victims only) - Separate file in the downloads, not included in the installer.
  • MM: Mimic Mania - for any eligible container there is a chance it might in fact be a sleeping mimic.  You'll need to defeat it to gain access to its content.

 

 

Latest changes

Spoiler

Changes in v0.8.1

Changes in v0.8.0

 

  • [Added] New type of beast
    • Spoiler

      Chain Fish. (Weak beast.)

Older updates:

 

 

 Misc; tips, workarounds, plans, permissions & credit.

 

Spoiler

Tips, Known Issues and Workarounds

Spoiler

General Tip: the MCM-status menu can often be used to resolve/work around issues encountered. In the MCM menu you can:

  • Choose who is targeted, tweak difficulty and other Gameplay aspects.
  • Control the mod; take different Debug actions, view and update the Status.
  • See how much of the mod content you have encountered under Achievements.
  • Skip ahead to where you ended up last time (eg new character or after update).

 

Pottential Issues:

  • NPCs generated from leveled lists may not play nicely when captured.  (No workaround yet.)
  • The caged scenario is a preview only and can break easily if used in unexpected ways. Workaround:
    • If stuck, end the quest from the MCM Skip menu
  • Integration adds items around Skyrim - potentially conflicts with mods changing the same locations.
    • None known; Report any found so they can be addressed

 

Potential vanilla game issues that could affect this mod:

  • This mod can create hectic battles and NPCs tend to flip out in case of friendly fire, causing them to attack each other/you if that happens. Workaround:

    • Use the calm spell in the MCM>debug menu.  Only lasts a moment but, unlike vanilla calm spells, will make them forget about the friendly fire.

  • Sometimes pathing issues occur, especially with larger beast.  Workaround:

    • For Player use `struggling'; press motion keys to get temporary control. (Requires/consumes stamina, need to wait 5 seconds between struggles.)

    • NPCs: try bumping them if they get stuck/clearing the path if they cannot find their way.  They may teleport forward after a while if they can't progress (vanilla behavior).

    • If those fail, fast forward through the MCM>Status menu.

 

 Permissions

Spoiler
  • See ZAZ animation pack as this uses some of its resources.
    • including Koffii yoke mesh (see ZAP for its Creative Commons Attribution license)
  • For the crawling animations see crawl-on-all-fours by DarkAngel1265 (www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33097)

  • The chain attack of the spiders is based on `Pull mastery' by xzax; https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30351
    • (Stated permission: asset use allowed when crediting author but not for mods that are being sold.)
  • Some sound effects using open source (CC) clips. See description in the sound/fx/SCB/ folder.
  • How to clear `load door info'was learned from: Stuck on Screen Load Door Prompt Fix by wSkeever (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/96531, CC4.0 license, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ ).

Credits & Tools used (in no particular order)

Spoiler
  • Oblivion chainbeasts mod for the basic idea
  • Zaz animation pack
    • This mod uses devices & textures from this mod and some meshes were created using ZAP meshes as a base. It also relies on ZAP furniture as a main part of its game-play mechanics.
  • Uses animations from crawl-on-all-fours by DarkAngel1265 (www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33097)
    • Thanks to DeepBlueFrog for pointing me to these.
  • Pull mastery by xzax for the chain attack idea and resources (www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30351)
  • Model creation tools: Blender,  Blender nif tools,  Anton tools, NifSkope
  • Skyrim creation kit and game.
  • Mod Organizer2 (and other mod management tools in the past).
  • SKVA Synth for the synthesized voices.
  • Forum members for useful suggestions, hints, etc.
    • CPU for a first installer, which inspired the current one.
    • Randamaster for German translations: Lastest translated version V0.5.6 available in the thread.
    • Chaimhewast for (previous versions of the) SLUTS patch
    • Mytherious for (previous versions of the) SLUTS resume patch
  • and many others I've forgotten to mention...

 

Future plans

Spoiler

Don't expect rapid progress; depends on time and motivation.  I have very little of the former and the latter tends to come and go (especially seeing how frustrating it can be to build a decent story line within CK.) .
If you have ideas please feel free to post them. Many of the current features came from suggestions in the posts. If I like them I might try to implement them.

 

Voicing using XVASynth (since v0.5.0): Skyrim Chain Beasts now has synthesized voices..mp3

Well actually it's moved beyond a demo feature, almost all lines for which voice type models are available have been voiced, resulting in thousands of voiced lines. You will encounter only a very tiny fraction of these in any play through.

Nice job. I enjoyed the chainbeasts mod back on Oblivion and after testing this I can see it has the makings of a good mod or perhaps as HermausMoron suggests an outcome or something along those lines in another mod like DCL. The more Devious modders out there the better so keep up the good work.

Similar to the other posters, I just wanted to say I really like the idea of this. Especially the multi-stage capture mechanic that's based around stamina. When I play non-Skyrim adult video games, I often appreciate mechanics where the player's insufficient reflexes or foresight result in their capture, more so than typical ways Skyrim mods bind the player such as chosen/deliberate, dialogue/scenario-prompted, or triggered after defeat. It's also cool that this mod has fantasy feel, relating to the idea of a beast constructed from a living chain.

I agree, DD 4.0 added Heretic resources to the list of items you can use, but you could use HR alone if you want to script everything yourself. Those assets have actual body suit-like parts made out of chains, for a better final version I think.

 

I feel adding many chains to the model that aren't functional but merely cosmetic would camouflage the jankyness of the current frame. It would especially make sense if the mask, collar, and other pieces you might want to add in the future, were part of the visual model of the beast, such that it would make sense for the beast to have these items to give to the player, taken from the mass, rather than from a very skinny skeleton.

 

Not saying it would be easy, but from a bestiality perspective, if one of those cosmetic chains had a dildo on the end I can see an outcome where the player isn't stunned but raped first, then the item is put on during the animation or after. This would be harder I bet, because there probably isn't a bone in the skeleton that would work well for that, would probably work better if you could find a way to add enough mass to that region to add a strap-on made special for the model at time of sex, rather than move a dildo chain for just the animation, more animations to borrow from that way?, I know nothing about how hard that might be.

 

Hope you expand this to other monster models too, the ice snake monster thing from vanilla but a flying ball of chains for instance, or a spider made of chains, or... there's lots of possibilities here I feel.

 

I wonder if you could make a monster disappear during a certain attack, with the assumption that they attached themselves to the player as a full suit, wonder which monster would  be best for that, one of the ghosts but made of chains? Haunted theme? Would probably want to use some visual effects to make up the gap in animations though.

 

Edit: with the "monster becomes a full suit" idea, it would be cooler if you could make a new suit that looks like the monster, but with people wanting bodyslide that might be more trouble than you want. Might be easier to instead put several items on the player then kill the monster, creating a dead body "pile" of all other chains that didn't attach to the player instead.

Besides not having to deal with scripting DD 4.0 also has bodyslide support.

You may also want to look at I'll Take The Display Model for furniture placement and escape ideas.

Can You share in what other games did you find such mechanics?

A idea would be to add a final level for some of the CBs like the dog one being locked to that frame so the player would be stuck running around on all 4s. lock each hoop around ankle wrist or neck and use the cat women animation  as a idea. Making some larger CBs with more they can attach then just attach the player to them. Sort of like how the Riding Styles mod works.

atetete: I just meant Japanese "hentai" games (mostly untranslated) like Fuuki Kenshi Asagi, Akakubi Arena, Princess Sacrifice, Lilitales, VH, and RyonaRPG. These games may have QTE events where you press timed arrow keys to avoid being grabbed, or stripping of clothing and sexual attacks mid-combat that lead to being incapacitated and raped for a random number of turns with per-turn lowering of HP or raising of an ecstasy gauge, or progressive bondage-equipping attacks that then require struggling with a 25-50% chance of escape per attempt, and so on. I won't say any more about this here since it's a whole subject of its own not directly relevant to chain beasts, but feel free to PM me.

Nice proof of concept with an original and cool mechanic.

I'm with that, though I don't care if that mod is used to implement it. I'd love to see them show up in random dungeons.

Agreed, the main thing this mod seems to be missing now is some integration to skyrim - maybe it's possible to add them to random encounter lists?
