About This File

Skyrim Chain Beasts  v0.6.9LE (0.6.8SSE)

 

NSFW, Creatures and Mounts, Metal Bondage, Nudity, Quests and Gameplay, Sex (does not contain sex with creatures).

 

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.

 

Downloads include the following files:

• The latest full version (065) for LE (and oldrim) and SE (and AE) and update for both (069 for LE, 068 for SE).
• The XVASynth generated voice files (069-Voices, two parts) can be used together with any version.
• Two player voice options (patches) for use with Dragonborn Voice Over (DBVO).  (XVASynth generated.)
• The user guide with detailed descriptions of the mechanics, the MCM and the quests.
• Adventures of Bretny - The Klymer Tales; a Quest walk through as an Interactive Story/mini game. This branching story shows all ways of completing the Keeping up appearances (Destined to be a soshal-klymer) and follow up quest.
• SkyrimChainBeastsDDCV.7z  and two updates - See DDCV under plugins below.
• Rest are older versions in case you run into issues and want to downgrade.

DBVO is a mod you find on Nexus.

The lore master has no additional info on the peryite riddle. I have no idea what to do with those 4 boxes.

He can give a hint when you ask him about it after the quest has started.  (When he explains how to find that area.)

 

Put something in them.

 

Spoiler

 

One of the screen shots on the download page show a hint of what types of things might be possible to put in there.

The hint from the lore master also mentions something about it.

You'll know when you've put something meaningful in.

Spoiler

It's all about mod introduced items.

There's four different categories.

If you know the game `mastermind' you should be set.

Thanks.

Not sure what happened there but that file (the large one with the comma `,'  in the name) can just be deleted - it's actually a wav file, the correct fuz file is in there as well.

If you mean objective `speak to lore master (optional)' that should complete after you ask the lore master `Any thoughts on the aspect of Peryite?' once you've uncovered the aspect - resulting in the lines `let me think about it' - `You've uncovered the aspect, but cannot get to it and have come to pick my master mind'. ...

SkyrimChainbeasts-V069-Voices.7z.002 seems to be broken. I have now downloaded it couple of times. I can't even extract it to repack the file again.

 

System of course reads them as 001 file and 002 file, because there is .xxx after type.

 

That doesn't seem to be the problem though, because 001 would still install itself.

 

Am I missing something, or is there a problem with the voice pack?

Hmm... .002 does not seem to unpack itself. I need to check why.

Thanks for the reply though. It might help me to solve this one.

 

And yeah: I haven't had WinRAR in my system in... well, in a very long time.

 

Edit: There we go. I selected them both to extract the file. Now I have 185 MB unified folder. Thanks.

I get a bounty when pheromone CBs attack people? Uncool.

Rune mentioned an "odd box" in the training room of the thieves guild after getting his gem (that was a lot of golden CBs...). I guess he means the room with the different chests? In that room was nothing new. And I got no book either.

For now you can disable NPCs trigger traps in the traps section, that should also address this issue.  (If I remember correctly that's done by: turn off valid targets, turn on player.)

 

 

 

Made a few changes in the upcoming version which hopefully prevent these issues. However unable to test as I've not been able to reproduce this issue.

 

 

It wouldn't only going back to a save before entering the effected area with MM active would solve it. I've created a spell that may fix affected objects (manually) but I have no way of testing it.

If someone who encountered the issue could check it that would be great. Don't use it for anything but testing though; next version may fail to properly update on saves that have this quick test installed.  (If the MCM option (under plugins Mimic Mania) fail  to give the spell use the console, look for cleaner to find the formid and use: player.addspell  formid. )

Stand next to the affected object and cast the spell. Should show a notification `(name of object) cleaned'. Try activating it after that... (cleaned objects should activate normally and never summon beasts irrespective of % setting.)

Should not get a bounty for that no, unless they're beasts that you summoned yourself (not beasts from a mine).  Sure you or your team mates did not friendly fire someone (anything even a chicken)?

Indeed. Note you likely don't have to combine the files; just put them in the same folder and install 001 with your mod manager. If that works (menu with choices comes up) then your mod manager knows how to deal with multipart archives (as the menu info is actually in the second part) and you don't have to do anything else.

Do I have to get hit by the golden CBs in solitude for the box to appear? I just ran.

Always 8 characters with the first two being the load order  So if SCBMM is at position 5 (counting starts at 0) it becomes:  player.addspell 0500fe22

(Or use help "clean broken mimic" as indicated; that should list the full form id as well.)

No should not be needed. Return with gem, then conversation should do it.

Something is triggering the guards. Whenever I'm fighting CBs the guards attack me but the townspeople defend me.

Nope, still no box. What is supposed to be in it?

I replayed Runes for Rune twice now. Got hit by the CBs, killed all the CBs, run from the CBs... Still no box.

Not sure how it could fail to appear; if the alias failed to fill, the whole quest (TJH) would not start.

The id of the box is ??03E94E  (with ?? the load order of scbIntegration) you could try enabling it manually in the console.

Is SCB_INT_TJH_AoNBT1.pex in your scripts folder (topic script that enables it)?

 

What is in it:  The aspect tome.  As a work around you could simply as LM to have the other seekers gather the aspect of Noc, to get you to the same point.

Hmm...not sure. Do you have any mods that influence the guards ?

Not sure what you mean.  

The spell is to fix a problem with `activation broken' of potential mimics. With the latest version that issue hopefully does not occur anymore, but the update does not fix ones that were already broken - that is what this spell if for.

(I guess you could also use it to ensure a chest you want to loot is not a mimic, but that is not its intended purpose and might brake things if it has scripted interactions.)
