Devious Devices SE

You have one or more plugins that are not form 44. They are:

• Devious Devices - Assets.esm (form 43)
• Devious Devices - Contraptions.esm (form 43)
• Devious Devices - Expansion.esm (form 43)
• Devious Devices - Integration.esm (form 43)
• Devious Devices For Him.esp (form 43)

Form 43 (or lower) plugins are modules that were made for Skyrim LE (Oldrim) and have not been properly ported to Skyrim Special Edition, which uses form 44 plugins. This usually results in parts of the mod not working correctly.

To be converted, these plugins simply need to be opened and saved with the SSE Creation Kit but their presence can be an indication that a mod was not properly ported to SSE and so can potentially have additional issues.

Online guides can have more information on how to correctly convert mods for Skyrim SE.

 

Conversion for form 44 is not required. If you must be one of THOSE people who don't read up on this stuff and insist it be form 44 then install the DD 5.2 beta linked on the troubleshooting post since i'm giving up on educating people that this shit is not needed and who can't be bothered to search a thread for something that's been talked about at least 100 times. Even LL's shitty search could find this.

 

Edit: Sorry for the harsh post, but this gets asked so often it's beyond annoying at this point. Please, in the future, try searching first instead of just posting. Your issues are very likely not unique.

Yes, I know. I have the same. But the number of people asking about form 43/44 is on par with people having bodyslide issues. At this point, i'm resaving them to get rid of some of the noise so there's a better chance of seeing real issues.

Install Faster HDT SMP. Or if you installed it already, make sure you made the right selections for your game version. Tails not in the right place means HDT SMP is not installed or not working. CBPC is not a substitute for HDT SMP for these devices.

Thanks it worked

Does anyone know if there is a patch for Devious Devices and Racial Skin Variance? If so a link would be super

Trying out Beta10 RC1 and I've got a new problem on the Chloe quest.  When trying to pick a herb after being locked up in chains i get the message "You can't do that with your arms bound!" which is from zaz's zbfSlot.pex.

I've updated only a few mods since a previous start that didn't have this problem but can't track down which is causing it or if any MCM option can avoid it.

Tough to do the Chloe quest if I can't pick a lavender...

Anyone else have this problem?

Make sure you're using zaz 7 or 8 i guess. I've never had that problem. And even so, if you're sure it's coming from zaz, it's not DCL's fault.

Are you using Sexlab Survival, by chance? It has a feature that gives almost the same message, although it's in first person ("I" and "my") instead of second ("You" and "your"). If that's the case, check its MCM for "Devious Effects".

does it ever happen to anyone when you do remove device in the mcm that it just doesnt remove it ? Heck even DCL doesnt remove the device and i know they came from various even cause by DCL. Its super odd.

That was it!  The sls mcm devious effects checkbox says pickpocket, lock picking but apparently harvesting too.  I was wrong about zaz, its text says "hands bound!" where sls says "arms bound!"

Thanks.

 

BTW, the chains around the pink catsuit on the Chloe quest fit and look great with 3ba v0.8b.

Just curious, as I decided to axe Nemesis from my load order, is there a combat mod similar to CGO that you use? It's the one thing dependent on Nemesis that I was hesitant to remove.

 

Sorry for replying awfully late, but no, I don't use any combat mod. In general, my gameplay mods are mostly restricted to the LL stuff, AI overhaul and EFF.  The LL stuff causes the biggest part as you can imagine since they alter the environment quite heavy script-wise.

The only supported versions of DD are 5.1 and 5.2beta. Make sure you have NOT installed the separately available DDa, DDi, DDx, DDc, DD for Him, or DD BRRF. These are all available now in a single installer and installing the separate versions will break DD. Also, DO NOT install patches for other versions of DD. Installing patches for versions that do not match your installed DD version will also break DD.

 

As long as DD is initializing properly, there's nothing DD can do to fix this. To check if DD's DLL is initializing properly, you can check the skse64.log in \Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE.

 

If it's not, make sure you installed the right DLL for your downgraded game version. 5.1 only has 1.5.97, 5.2beta10 supports all SE, AE, and GOG versions. To download just the DLL for newer AE/GOG versions, look on the troubleshooting post.

 

Odds are though, you'll need to check the Deviously Helpless support thread for a patch or how to fix.

Open the console and wait. Also, DCL's remove function is broke for some devices. It's not recommended really to use them because they absolutely will break quests even when they are working right, why are you? If have a bugged device, the safest method is to go back to an earlier save and try that step in the quest again. If this is leon's quest and it's the piercing, console in leon's key to remove it.

No the device didnt came from a quest. But from just random event like looting a chest, body or whatever.

Enjoy the struggle animations for blindfold, restrictive gloves, boots, etc.

 

Are there any addons or additional files for animations for all the struggle animations? If not, are there any plans to have all categories covered in the future?

 

Thanks!

That would require someone knowing how to animate making the animations and then giving kimy permission to use them. afaik, there are no animators contributing to DD anymore, so this is unlikely to happen.

Then your best option when removing a device is to unlock it, exit the inventory menu, and open the console and wait.

 

You can try installing the DD 5.2 beta from the troubleshooting post, which has improvements to device removal, but that would only work if the device is not bugged. Depending on how it's bugged, even the console debug options might not be able to remove it, which is why it's best to go back to an earlier save.

Is there a chance for the key you receive from blacksmiths to be the wrong key? Received a head restraint key but i still don't have the option to unlock my slave collar.

Questions on modding and scripting.

 

Any good resources on how to use devious devices? I know this wiki exists but other than that it's the zablibs source file and staring at cursed loot source files to see how they did it.

 

Creating a device that can only be unlocked by quest completion. Do I apply the zad_questitem/zad_blockgeneric keyword and my own custom quest keyword to the render item, and when the quest ends, use the removequestdevice function passing the custom quest keyword as a parameter?

 

How do I check if the player is wearing any quest devices? To prevent interfering with other quests (such as the cursed collar quest from cursed loot).

 

If they don't have any quest items on, I just use lockdevice (force = true) to put it on (to swap out generic items)? And since it will have the zad_questitem/zad_blockgeneric keyword on the device it can't be unlocked with a key? Or is that something I modify using the zadbelt script properites on the render item (by clearing the value of the devicekey property)

 

Also, where is the best place to put the locking and unlocking scripts? I was thinking the simplest thing to do would be in the quest stages.

 

Cheers for any help

Sadly I think the only resources for DD modding are that wiki and the source files.

If losing the device would break your quest, use Zad_QuestItem, otherwise use Zad_BlockGeneric. I've not done anything with quest devices myself, but from what I can see yes, you just have to set up a keyword for your quest, assign it to the device, and reference it when you call RemoveQuestDevice().

In a script, GetWornRenderedDeviceByKeyword() to check if the slot's available and running HasKeyword() on any devices it finds would be my guess. If you want to be more sweeping, you could simply use WornHasKeyword(), and that has the benefit of also existing as a condition function.

Or is that something I modify using the zadbelt script properites on the render item (by clearing the value of the devicekey property)

Correct on the force=true, I've seen two ways of stopping the player from taking a quest device off - one is to set deviceKey to a key that the player can never find (by default, setting deviceKey to none means the device doesn't need a key), and the other is to give the device a custom zad_DeviceMsg where all but the "Carry on" option have impossible conditions (they still have to exist because the scripts go by the button's index to know what the player chose).

That's more a general quest design question, I feel. I've not done any quest design, so I'll leave that for people who have.

You'll have to ask in the thread of whatever mod added that dialogue. The framework doesn't offer any way to obtain devices and keys on its own.
