Too easy as spells, IMO. As potions you have to persuade the NPCs to drink them! - and I already have 437 Hiyokos running around my current game. But whatever floats your boat. Just about none of the mods in my current load order are as the author left them (and Heart of the Dead, oh my ... ). I'll tidy up the modified BU and upload it, if I can restrain myself from deciding that the whole thing needs to be torn apart and redone, which is what usually happens to my creations.

You are warned about him right at the beginning of the quest - but, as I said, perhaps this is a little too obscure. Perhaps I'm too fond of puzzles To confirm, when Calindil declines your help, strip and offer again. You'll get a new dialog option. There is a cheat too - after the first use, never talk to Calindil about the device again. It will never break. In the version I'm running I've made it require a Varla Stone (which is destroyed) to use the thing more than once a day, to stop myself from cheating. I run with a modified version of Bravil Underground, where among other things I've added quests to gain the, er, services, of Cyril and Nightwynd, who are otherwise pretty much inviolable. The quests have no markers or journal entries; progress is only indicated by new dialog. Cyril's is easy, but Nightwynd's is quite involved. I've been wondering whether to upload it to LL.

The quest always works for me, but perhaps I was a little too obscure. When he declines your offer of help, have you tried taking your clothes off and offering again?

I live to serve, questionaccount. Here's a slightly modified TamagoFertilityClinic.esp. Note : This is not the full mod! Imstall the mod and replace the .esp with this one. 2 things will change - 1) Norbert Lelles now sells the Ovum Tonic 20 at a time instead of 6. 2) He sells a 'Pregnancy Averting Potion' aka the Embryo Killer (only 1 per replenishment cycle). This only works on the player, as there's no option to get a NPC to take it (it would work on them too if there was). It is only effective when the player has conceived (there's an embryo in your inventory) _and the player womb is still in luteal phase_ .It will not work once 1st trimester has started. Enjoy (if that's the right word). TamagoFertilityClinic 1.06 - ESP only!.7z

Actually, the year-long distraction that kept me away from LL, and mostly from any modding, has recently receded, and I've been playing Oblivion again. I run updated versions of several of the mods I've posted on LL; I'll have to check what is still relevant in view of updates to other mods. Adding an 'embryo killer' potion that works before 1st trimester starts is trivial and I have it in my current version of TamagoFertilityClinic (although I consider it a cheat and don't use it). The 'Calandil' topic in TFC is just a lead-in to the 2nd mod in the sequence, which is unfinished, so not currently worth raising a sweat over. I got a bit bogged down in revisions to bandit mods before my absence - everything worked, but due to the way the original mods where written it was necessary to do said everything 3-4 times with slight variations in variable names, which was fiddly and boring in the extreme. I may revisit that. I've been spending my new-found modding time recently on addressing my biggest suspension-of-disbelief problem with the sex/pregnancy mods - a NPC who has given birth to the player's children treats the player no differently than any random NPC. Addressing this rapidly snowballs into providing different chat/alternatives for other situations that make no sense; e.g. a NPC who is ovulating says they cannot possibly have sex, they'll get pregnant! - followed by 'how do you want me?'. Aargh. The mod has become huge, and I'm trying to separate it into a basic 'master' (although an esp), and at least one dependent mod that hangs off it. I also need to consider how best to interact with HiyokoFutureDream, which has some functionality in common ...

It's the possible buyer's responsibility that counts, not your character's reputation (fame/infamy). High enough and they'll free you. Low enough, and they may buy you. Get your character's reputation low enough (high infamy) and most bandits won't even be hostile, let alone enslave you - least, that was the way it was last time I played the mod. Creatures don't care, of course.

There isn't really a main quest; like the title says, it's a series of encounters. You pick the ones you want to do, in almost any order.

If you follow the link he gave you, you will find that it tells you how to provide your load order. It assumes you are using a mod manager- either OBMM or WryeBash. If you aren't, there is no hope for you, sorry.

If the creator of the zombie mod made his own zombies, there wouldn't be any sex animations for them - which I think would cause what you are seeing. If he used standard zombies - do you have lovers creature installed, with all the LC animations? Even if it doesn't seem useful, it's usually a good idea to post your load order along with problems, to avoid silly questions like this.

This is the version of BU I've been using, with the issue with CW's overhaul and the Gellius Terentius quest fixed. It works for me with the overhaul loaded, and it _should_ work without it, but it would be nice if someone would test that. This is just a replacement esp. I don't guarantee it'll work if you have already started the quest, although it may well do so. Instead of checking whether you're talking to a particular NPC (BravilGuardEscortCountRef) who isn't in the game with Colourwheel's mod loaded, it checks whether you're speaking to a guard with an ID token in inventory. I had to add a tiny quest script to add the token, as annoyingly, the fact that CW makes 'his' bodyguard have the same reference as the vanilla one, means you can't just add the token to the guard when the quest starts, as you may find yourself talking to the other version once you enter the correct cell.

Making slow headway, as I have been far too busy with trivial RL issues to concentrate on modding. THis next week looks promising, though. Looking at the game settings issue, here's the current setup for LIG. LPB, LTC and PSE. LIG and LPB make no changes to the game settings at all. LTC sets the following :- iCrimeGoldAttack 200 iCrimeGoldAttackMin 500 (I think I changed this earlier at Gregathit's request; can't remember what it was originally) iCrimeGoldJailBreak 1500 iCrimeGoldMinValue 100 iCrimeGoldMurder 3000 iCrimeGoldPickpocket 125 iCrimeGoldStealHorse 700 iCrimeGoldTrespass 75 PSE sets these values. iCrimeDaysInPrisonMod 10 iCrimeGoldAttack 1000 iCrimeGoldAttackMin 5000 iCrimeGoldJailBreak 1000 iCrimeGoldMinValue 50 iCrimeGoldMurder 15000 iCrimeGoldPickpocket 100 iCrimeGoldStealHorse 2500 iCrimeGoldTrespass 50 Some of these differences seem pretty random, tbh. Anyone want to suggest what a consolidated list should look like? Any settings not there anyone would like included? I can have any of the mods I'm working on read values for these settings from a common .ini file. Adding any more settings later would mean a script change, so it would be good to get this settled now

Raping corpses is unfortunately an excellent thing to do with LoversLoveJuice and/or LoversMagic installed. Captain Renault <cough> Free bonus fluids, and you won't lose SP to a corpse. Have to be careful with PSE though, very embarrassing (not to say inconvenient) to be enslaved by a dead bandit.

If your slaves 'vanish' (and are not respawning actors, of course), they've probably fallen through the floor. Some mods are pretty bad for this. It's often worth turning on life detection and doing some tcl-diving to see if you can find them - and then stash them somewhere else.

There's something wrong with elalquimista's setup; finding lockpicks should happen pretty often; none of this hours of waiting around. Indeed, leaving the game running while you do something else waiting for lockpicks is a very bad idea, as your master will periodically search you and take them away. His character must be peculiarly ugly; mine never go more than a couple of minutes without being raped by whoever is in control. About the only thing I'd agree with is that the Alessia Caro sequence in Sibling Rivalry does drag on too long; a day less would be a big improvement, IMO. This is a very easy change to make, of course. Sibling Rivalry is fine apart from that and the quest not completing once it's over; I pretty soon tire of the messages and use 'stopquest' in the console. There's a trick to dealing with the ghost, which he evidently didn't notice. I don't understand his problem with Rough Justice; true, the quest doesn't complete, but it is essentially uncompleteable (is that a word?), just like the LPK quest never completes; you can always get in trouble again. The hanging not being fatal is the problem with the 'ending' (again, IMO). We won't go into the 'empty sack' thing, as that's acknowledged to be a bug, and there's a workaround. I was amused by his thinking that anyone that plays the LPK mods would be unfamiliar with LoversSlaveTrader. I won't comment on this delineation between the 'adult' game and the beautiful artistic one. Rough Streets - you have to wait until you get a lockpick to get free; if something's wrong and you're not getting lockpicks, well, yes, you'll be there indefinitely. As to the chance of getting more lockpicks, I have to disagree and say relying on luck makes far more sense than security skill. But each to his/her own, which is a big part of what this forum is about, surely?
