I touched on this in my initial post but basically it's the taboo of it. Close family is the one group of people you absolutely positively should not want to fuck, which for some people makes it extremely appealing. The only other groups that come close are animals and children, but neither of those are capable of consent, not to mention the physical and mental harm that could come to them from it. But adult family members are fully grown adults capable of giving consent, meaning that even though you shouldn't, you absolutely can. So, as I said before, it's the most taboo thing you can do while still having vanilla sex between two consenting adults. Different people are going to have different takes, of course, and it may just be that that sensation of " they shouldn't be doing this" just isn't something that works for you the same way the "contrast" you've mentioned before does.

It's the most taboo kind of sex you can have while also having completely vanilla sex between two consenting adults. In most cases, there's nothing wrong with any two unrelated people hooking up. Even in scenarios like boss/employee, cop/citizen, doctor/patient, teacher/student, etc, where there is a power dynamic that discourages it, that discouragement is still entirely societal and therefore artificial. Family is the one great instinctual barrier, a line that is not artificial but entirely natural, with those who cross it forcibly, without consent, being among the highest order of monsters (especially where young family who can't consent may be involved). So for two people who know they shouldn't to choose to anyway? It's fucking hot. Mom/son, bro/sis, aunt/nephew, and cousins are my wheelhouse in descending order. Anything father-related is an instant turnoff for me, but I totally understand why people like that too. More specific to my kinks, I enjoy when mom isn't actually into incest herself, but does enjoy making her son happy. That little bit of internal conflict, that thought of "I know I should hate this, so why can't I stop?" takes it to another level, regardless of which party is feeling it. Just family boning is hot, but if that lingering sense of "we shouldn't do this" is totally absent, if the sex is treated as totally normal and not as the violation of natural boundaries it is, it loses something for me.

I haven't the foggiest how to do that. Never messed with that side of things. I'm more than happy to wait for Gunslicer to get around to it whenever. How would one add them to the list, though? Is it as simple as editing the .txt file, or are there other steps involving the FNIS generator?

I installed the newest release and tested the animations again. Unfortunately they still don't appear to be working. I haven't attempted more in-depth troubleshooting such as resetting the animation registry yet but I'm not certain that would even do anything.

Anyone else having trouble with the Inn animations not working properly? I've tested a few other animations both from this pack and others and know it's not an issue with Sexlab in general. I've made sure "restrict aggressive animations" is turned off as well, so that's not it either.

Given the sheer length of time I've been messing with Skyrim, it's honestly hard to tell what's mods "ruining" the experience and what's just a combination of fatigue, familiarity, and a desire for something new doing it. But with so many years of hindsight to look back on, I think I can safely (albeit not concretely) say that lewd mods have lessened my interested in the game proper. I haven't seriously tried to play with 2017, save for a brief attempt in 2020 with SE that lasted a week consisting of maybe two sessions. Too focused on getting booba to work, too much time considering what sort of body a character would have taking away from considering who that character is. I can't even work through my serious alt-itis anymore because I spend so much time trying to craft a body and find and outfit that it drains my will to flesh out the character. I still pop in for screenshots sometimes and still occasionally create a toon that sticks, but every year sees less and less. Having said all that, I am quite confident it's not mods in general. Mods do nothing but improve the game, it's how much and what kind that can have detrimental effects if you're not picky and careful. Lewds aside, I have a very good idea what sort of mods I like and only install ones along those lines, so the integrity of the setting is maintained. I still love Tamriel, I still love The Elder Scrolls, I just... maybe spend more time thinking about tits than I should is all.

Nice double dip

This whole situation is depressing on multiple levels. First and foremost, I want to be abundantly clear I'm on the side of the mod authors who don't want to relinquish control of their content. The author should, always and without exception, be allowed to remove their stuff from any means of distribution they upload to. Nexus cannot and should not be able to deny you the ability to remove your content at any time. Full stop. It's just really disappointing to see in full just how far TES modding has moved away from the community mindset it was built on. It just seems weird to me to spend all that time making something for free for other people to enjoy and then decide to just take it all away. The concepts of paywalling anything or expecting reverence and worship because you graced the unwashed masses with your art got you ridiculed by the majority back in the day. Now ego is the norm, and it's just really depressing to see it in full swing like this. Again, just because I think they shouldn't delete things doesn't mean I don't want them to have to option or control to do it. A Cathedral Modding concept works because of people choosing to contribute freely - and freely choosing to withdraw as they see fit must be a part of that freedom.

It kind of reminds me of people who think being Pro-Choice means they're Pro-Death - they don't understand what Pro-Choice means and just assume it's an entirely antagonistic viewpoint. Saying Black Lives Matter doesn't mean you value other races any less. BLM the organized group has some bad apples, surely, and I'm not gonna sit there and try to convince anyone that the movement isn't being applied heavy-handedly in a lot of ways - because it is. But the concept of Black Lives Matter is not anathema to All Lives Matter. All Lives don't matter until Black Lives Matter - or, said another way, if you believe All Lives Matter, you must by necessity believe Black Lives Matter, because they are lives, and all lives matter. However, the way they're treated in the US today sends a clear message that they do not, in fact, matter. This is what the movement is meant to shed light on. That's all. It's not about supremacy or killing anyone whose skin color is different from yours. Only racists and people who haven't had this explained to them yet think that. I used to think is was a silly movement myself even, until it was explained to me like this and I realized I was looking at it from a very narrow viewpoint before.

I can't wrap my head around hating a company because they don't hate black people.

Oh snap this was one of my favorites. Shamefully, I don't and haven't really kept up with many blogs here, but Tammie's Adventures is one of the few that I did keep an eye on. It's one of those cases where, normally I wouldn't be into the titillation aspect of it (barely legal teen types isn't usually my bag), but the combination of the comedy and the characters made them all the more enticing. It helps that Ongwk733 had some God-tier restraint when it came to how often and when he did nudes - gave the characters time to really shine, then bam, hits you with the good stuff. Never a lot, just enough to keep it interesting. All of that speaks to his skill both in writing and the visual medium. A shame Ongwk733 drifted away, but... well, I'm one to talk. I know how that happens all too well.

I've never used PoserHotkeys before now, so I'm open to the possibility that I've done something wrong, but I'm having the same issue as DarthBane34. Everything is in the right place as far as I can tell from the very short instructions provided by PoserHotkeys, but it's just not showing up.

TES: Zippers, or really any visibly and unmistakably modern material such as denim or latex. I can tolerate a lot when it comes to styles, but if it doesn't look like it could have been produced by someone, somewhere in that universe without thinking about it too much or looking too closely, it doesn't belong in my game. I don't care how sexy it is, take your zipper and go fuck yourself. Additionally, anime. Fallout: Modern style military equipment. One of my favorite things about Fallout as a setting is that retro-future look where art deco ran unchecked, the clean 50's aesthetic never meaningfully challenged by 60's counterculture. That juxtaposition with the dirty, ruined world Fallout is, and how that very juxtaposition plays on the underlying fears that run just beneath that happy 50's aesthetic is a big part of what makes the world so fun to explore. Modern military hardware just doesn't work against that backdrop. Additionally, anime.

Gonna second that inquiry, I desperately want that book carrying pose.

I love everything about all of this. Thank you so much for the work you put in on this. It's so awesome knowing the stuff I wrote for my (haphazardly constructed) blog are still remembered and still having an impact. It's something I'd always done as just a hobby, a way to be creative and crank out some content to crank one out to, to put it crudely. I never had the vision or ambition of so many other storytellers here and never really set out to make a mark - the self-deprecating name is proof enough of that. That just makes it all the more incredible to me that it has done just that. To any newcomers who might wander in after reading this - welcome! I hope you find something in the chaos that you like!
