You're looking in the wrong esp. Look in Devious Devices Expansion for the restraints. Some of the keys may be in Devious Devices Integration.
Never use anything from Devious Devices Assets when looking for devices with Add Item Menu.

 

I went back and checked and DD Expansion is loaded and contains no keys at all. The devices are there, but no keys. The furniture and DD other keys are present, but no chastity or restraint keys. I cannot figure out why. I've run hundreds of mod setups, but never encountered this problem before. Everything else DD related is working.

Uhmm, if you'r read the whole of Zarantha's post, it says: "The keys are in DD Integration" - this mod comes with 4 esp's for downward compatibility, so what's where doesn't seem logic from today's point of view.

I appreciate the guidance. The chastity and restraint keys are also not present in DD Integration. Here is a screenshot:

Please check Bodyslide's output path - a common error is -> it's incorrectly configured.

 

In the Bodyslide program (i.e., on the interface), the "Settings" button is located at the bottom right.

 

In the "Settings" section, the third line entry is -> advanced... ENABLE... additional options will appear, such as -> "Output Folder."

 

The output path needs to be checked and corrected if necessary.

 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I feel like such an idiot... The instructions for setting the output folder as an active mod were right there on the Bodyslide page on Nexus. Sorry for the trouble and thanks again! Everything is displaying correctly now!

VIELEN DANK! Ich komme mir echt wie ein Idiot vor... Die Anleitung zum Festlegen des Ausgabeordners als aktiven Mod stand direkt auf der Bodyslide-Seite auf Nexus. Entschuldigen Sie die Unannehmlichkeiten und nochmals vielen Dank! Jetzt wird alles korrekt angezeigt!

 

I don't know if this is your first time installing and using Bodyslide... but a very common mistake is -> launching Skyrim directly after installing Bodyslide using skyrim.exe and not via "skse" (you don't have to start a new game - just letting the main menu appear is sufficient - after that, you can quit Skyrim again).

The whole thing only serves to "direct" the Bodyslide program... in other words, it sets its paths (including the output folder) correctly.

 

If you use MO2 to manage your mod, you can create a separate (shared) output folder for Bodyslide... this is essentially an "empty mod" (I called mine "Bodyslide Output").

So my entry for the Bodyslide output points to exactly this directory.

For explanation:

MO2 ensures that EVERY installed mod gets its own separate directory - and such "output folders" (like the one for Bodyslide) can be "managed" like a mod.

Ich schätze die Anleitung. Die Keuschheits- und Fesselschlüssel sind in der DD-Integration ebenfalls nicht vorhanden. Hier ist ein Screenshot:

 

 

 

To explain the mechanics a bit – that is, how it appears to me after three years of using DD and DD extensions (such as LBS or DCL):

 

The creator of a DD-based mod doesn't need to create separate keys – they simply enable access to the DD base keys either "generally" or restrict them according to their mod intent.

 

You won't find separate keys in these mods – because the author accesses the keys they find in the DD base system.

 

They can, of course, also modify a DD device to the extent that the DD base keys no longer work... then they have to provide their own mechanism for opening these locks... so either NPC actions or special keys – these would then be found in the mod's item list.

 

Vor 4 Stunden sagte CaptainJ03:

Ähm, wenn Sie Zaranthas gesamten Beitrag gelesen haben, steht dort: „Die Schlüssel sind in der DD-Integration“ – dieser Mod wird mit 4 ESPs für die Abwärtskompatibilität geliefert, also scheint es aus heutiger Sicht nicht logisch, was wo ist.

 

If I remember correctly, the keys are distributed across 2 of the 4 esp servers... 4 keys in one esp server and 1 key in another esp server.

(I don't currently have DD installed, so I can't check.)

Well, I started trying to make my own build a long time ago, and of course I know about SKSE—without it, not a single mod would work, lol. On the Bodyslide page on Nexus, there was a link to exactly what you're talking about (an empty mod named something like "Bodyslide Output"). The thing is, back in the day, I installed Bodyslide for LE following a YouTube tutorial that never mentioned the output folder. The funny thing is, everything worked fine, both then and later with SE. It's just this one mod that caused such an issue. Anyway, thanks—it's just another reminder that you just need to read the descriptions carefully, and there won't be any problems.

You're running Devious Lore, which renames things. Looking at its thread, "ornate skeleton keys" are chastity keys and "simple skeleton keys" are restraints keys.

You didn't run fnis or pandora. nemesis is notorious for screwing up DD, although some have made it work.

You can install DD NG which will switch most of those animations to OAR, which eliminates most of the animation issues.

This would be due to a missing prerequisite, or not all the plugins were activated, or you have an old patch overwriting DD.

The only thing that is allowed to overwrite DD is DD NG.

Try the same in 1st person mode

most of the devices work fine but im having problems with plugs and the clit peircing.  i built everything in bodyslide and they have meshes i can open in outfit studio.  nothing shows up in game though.  the anal plug with a bell makes noise if i walk but i see nothing.  the tails dont work either.  the iron nipple clamps work fine though.  im confused.  i turned off hide devices but that didnt help.

Sounds like you're using precision or something similar. If it's not working in either first or third person, try on a new game without your combat mods.

Are they on or under the ground? if so, either you don't have FSMP installed, or it's not working.

 

The anal chains aren't in bodyslide, so it's not a bodyslide issue.

what race and sex are you playing, and are you using DD NG too?

Hey got a question about foot step sounds for a few boots added by this mod. Take the iron slave boots for example - in my game these boots have no foot step sound. Looking at this item in SSEEdit, this item has no "Armature" linking it to any of the Armour addons where footstep sounds can be added. I've noticed similar issues with the catsuit ballet boots as well. Could this have been caused by running the auto clean mode of SSEEdit, or am I safe to link these to an already existing armour addon, or is there a way to create a separate armour addon?

 

 

Edit: I was an idiot. The scriptinstance under the inventory EditorID has the armature linkage, and it links to zadx_bootsAA. But although a footstep sound is linked, I'm hearing no footstep in the game itself. Any idea what might be causing this?

Are you using any sound mods that require synthesis patching? Try rerunning the patcher.

Any patches overwriting DD? You might have to forward the change.

It could also be a vanilla sound issue. I seem to recall an issue with footsteps (and other things) that this fixed: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71567

Hello!

I have been using DD + NG latest for quite some time. I am happy with the quality/animations, and I have integrated on all the major Wabbajack modlists I played with great success. 

 

But, there is a but. While If I apply the DD on my main character, I get 100% effectiveness (locking and animations), I have had some mix results on applying on female NPCs. I know there are quite many parameters in play, but no matter what the modlist I am using, I end up always with some head scratching. 

 

For instance, if I have Diary of Mine, I always have a failure on applying 90% of the DD for the locking behavior. I have tried using some utilities to "add gear" to the NPC, wth very mixed results. The dialogue with the NPC to "I decide what you wear" would fail as well.

 

So, I have been wondering if there is a patch out there that would guarantee the "locking" behavior of DD --or if there are some parameters to change?.

 

I want to repeat the issue, I apply the "shacker" for instance, and the NPC is still and while the item appears to be "equipped" is actually not visible. I give you an example of a very successful patch released for this goal - Ostim path for DD. Once the patch was released, OStim standalone animations do respect the DD locking status.

 

If anyone has had the same issue and/or a solution, please let me know. 

 

Many thanks!

tôi đang gặp một vài rắc rối: 
-các vật phẩm không tương tác lên người chơi, và tôi chỉ có thể lấy một vài trang bị trong tệp "devious device expansion.esp", hiện tôi đang dùng simple item mod spawner và trước đó chúng vẫn hoạt động khá tốt 
 

Nếu ai gặp phải vấn đề tương tự và/hoặc có giải pháp, vui lòng cho tôi biết. 

 

Cảm ơn rất nhiều!
