FWIW, and in case MTB isn't around for a while, I'm sure I read somewhere that it does.  Can't find the reference right now tho

[alexsl]

Hi i got this mod yesterday but find it very hard to follow. The quest doesn't really say what to do so i'm not sure what they mean by just "Contemplate on your knoledge." Thats not an action that you can just do.

 

Beside when i get capture by chained beast it is stated that i should have 4 device lock on me, one each time then the fifth time its suppose to be a punition. Or if your do "Quick capture" then it goes straight to punishement but for me either way the chained beast just die each time. Either when it reach the fifth stage or straight away when on Quick capture.

Sleep on it. 

 

In general; try talking to people, especially friends / those that have encountered beasts / have certain skill might have something relevant to say ( if not they'll suggest you go do something useful like...)

 

If stuck, have a look at the walk though story, link on download page.

 

Not sure why the punishment is not working. For the player there should almost always be a punishment option available.  No idea what it could be without more info.  Please check the SCB log.  Maybe try the capture/self-capture test spell (with quick capture active) for some different types of beast while near a ZAZ furniture.  (Get it from the MCM>Debug-testing section) What happens for NPCs?

On recent versions (since 0.5.7 I think) yes, a cower animation is played on `take down' (also for NPCs). See the last 2 screenshots on the download page for what it is supposed to look like.

You can disable the animation itself in the MCM (under debug-stripping settings); with it disabled the victim will just be stuck in place for a few seconds while stripped.

 are chain serpents supposed to have ice wraith effects because that may be the issue as the game might confuse it with an ice wraith and not work right ending in the chainbeasts instadeath instead of punishment on both players and npcs.

however while using the debug the debug punishment tests went perfectly fine

[shadowwolf2k7]

Have you thought about adding an outcome that will send you to a former follower via Submissive Lola or Devious Followers where the follower says they will free them, but they have to agree to either become Lola or accept being their slave via DF.

ill test update out tonight i have a suggestion for gemmed beasts like gemmed crawler would you be able to make the gem vibrate when its inserted into the victem ?

[Quoozey]

Would you ever consider adding bounty hunters who can summon chain beasts?

Where on Tamriel could that thing be if it's not shown on the Skyrim map?

Spoiler

With the dragonborn plugin installed you'll need to head to Solstheim to find the last mine.

 

> link to thoes images no longer works

Which images are you talking about; the screen shots on the download page - just checked ,those still work for me at least, or the story (pdfs) - those still work as well; something else ?

So you think the beasts need supervision ?  (There is an option for bounty hunting beasts, but they can get easily distracted by other targets...)

Maybe I can expand on that.

Unsure what you mean by this;

- a visual effect in which it moves ? - Likely not; there's no animation for it and afaik no suitable bones to use for it to create such an animation.

- a `plug' vibrates effect with a message, possibly sound/screen effect like in DD (related mods)? 

- and/or some consequence (eg a `plug vibrates and you get more/less aroused/hurt/tired/distracted)?

Possible in theory but unlikely to happen anytime soon ; I would have to dive into how it works in mods that do that to get inspiration on how to implement and depending on effect might require additional prerequisites.

That's already possible indirectly via simple slavery so adding direct links is not a priority.

They have some ice wraith related effects, but the only difference between the chain serpents and the other beasts would be that the serpents disintegrate when they are killed.

You can test any type of beast with the test spell (choose what beast in the MCM).

If capture with the test spell works, but not with the same beast from a mine/trap/... then I'm at a loss; they share the same code....

yes have the plug vibrate to boost the arousal i remember on oblivions chainbeast the beast would stop for a few moments and whip the backside of the victem as there crawlinging towards the punishment posts

There is a mod event in aroused (redux?) that allows raising exposure, so it might be possible to implement without adding more requirements, but needs a good place to hook it in; its a bit niche as it only makes sense for the (one variant of) one type of crawler so not sure where it makes sense to put it.  

Come to think of it, being exposed to Pheromone beasts should really also raise exposure.  Will have to see.

One detail, could you please not make install of the voice file dependent on skyrimchainbeasts.esm being active? It won't hurt anyone if they (for whatever foolish reason) install the voice file without also installing the main file. Insisting on the esm already being active OTOH means I've to install the main file first, deploy, then install the voice file and deploy again. Deploying can take several minutes with a large LO, not a major problem, but a waste of time.


Also, is there a reason why "skyrimchainbeastsluts.esp" is not esl'ified if I check the option, despite already being compacted?

esl'ified - It was supposed to be. Attached another try.

 

Removing scb installed check should be as easy as commenting out a single line. First installing scb and then the voice files allows it to automatically pre-select the right options, but I guess there is no real reason to enforce it.

can i use Nemesis instead of Fnis to play this mod?

No Idea. Unless someone already tried and can answer this all I can suggest is try it and report back.

 

Tech details:

There is a chance it works; from what I understand alternate animation (movement sets) should work with Nemesis as well,

However, the mod does do one trick to get the riding animations; it forces a default ideal and then applies an alternate animation set after the (N)PC is mounted.  That works with FNIS but I have no idea how a Nemesis setup responds to that.

You can use

- `test player crawling' in the MCM>debug to check if the movement sets are working

- check quick capture (MCM>gameplay), test beast (MCM>debug) to eg spider and cast the test spell (get from MCM>debug) allows quick testing to see if riding animations work.

thanks i have a question i finnished the wedding but i didnt get to see the pheramone beasts again

[laurient]

i think you made a small mistake on your first post... the Fresh install (SE/AE) is a bit head of his time with the 0.6.9 version.

Spoiler

Return the tome to the lore master. Then ask about what he's learned. 

You will gain a power.  There's also a related quest.  (Find someone that `looks ... distracted'. Some may have turned to drinking their sorrows away.

Some places:

Spoiler

Riverwood.

Inn in Markarth

Hall of the Companions

Blue Palace.

and more.

With the spell you can select your own...

Ah who doesn't like a peek into the future.  

Strange it did not update when I edited the download page, usually it does that...

just saying it would be really cool if you could summon the mobile prison beasts.

also the mobile prison beast doesn’t take my character anywheres when it catches her it just stands there.

Yes that would be cool. If only there was a quest that allowed you to get such a spell...

Spoiler

There just might be a way but such power does not come cheap, you'll need to work for it...and I mean a lot...

 

Try summoning a beast and then sleeping.

Spoiler

To find a summoning tome (for a simple, rather rusty beast) check the ratway table, but... well you'll see.)

 

 

If you kill one,

Spoiler

you can ride it wherever you like using the `reanimate and ride' spell (yes it works on more than just spiders...).

 

> Just stands there.

Path finding can be slow, especially with long distances and large beasts, it may start moving after a bit. Or you can try to use `struggling' to help it on its way. You can see where it's trying to go by choosing `where am I going' in status menu.  In a pinch there is the fast forward option there as well.

Is the S.L.U.T.S patch not working for anyone else? I selected it during installation (and made sure the esp was enabled), but when I encountered a chain beast on the road I was still captured.

 

(This is for the latest S.L.U.T.S Resume on SE)

If you're using the ESLified version - there's was issue with the one in the installer, a corrected (hopefully) version is posted above (just replace existing one, make sure its after SLUTS in the load order, should work starting next sluts run):

(edit: updated the file on the download page to include the correct version.)

Thank you! I'll give it a try!

Sorry if this has been answered before or is on the first page but I did not see it.

 

How does this mod deal with followers? I am looking for mods that will ensure when I am defeated and sent off to be a sex slave my followers are suffering similar fates to myself and adds that extra challenge of saving them (or joining them) when I manage to get free.
