Preamble

NEFARAM is the next level of Skyrim NSFW modlists. With lots of new content, experience a hardcore in every sense of the term, but rewarding new Skyrim !

Skyrim is now a true harsh medieval place. You will need to fight, help, convince, escape, coerce both friends and foes to survive. Inspired by Requiem, expect an unforgiving world at your reach. But full of opportunities if you manage to seize them...

For combat, enemies are as strong as they should be. Basically, every tool you as a player have, expect your enemies to potentially have them : skills, spells, potions, perks, etc. If you have a light armor on and you dont dodge/block a greatsword, you will not have a good time no matter what's your level ! Each type of enemy and armor type has weaknesses and strenghs, meaning you cannot deal only one type of damage : dont expect to clear a nordic ruin full of undeads with only a bow ! Did I mention you can only regenerate health with potions or spells? The modlist contains a carefully and manually added dose of new armors and clothes, you can see the list here.

That brings us to the core of NEFARAM-combat: You need to delegate some parts of it to followers. You need a Tank to handle the melee enemies, a mage to ice those Dwemer centurions, perhaps a healer would be a good idea... Followers are the only people that will evolve at the same pace as you. You get the idea. But remember, this is a harsh world and almost nobody is your friend here...

Lots of new quests, places and people to meet !

Inspired by the now defunct modlist Dungeons & Deviousness, but slightly less devious (or at least in a different way ;) )

Based on Animonculory Visual Overhaul Version 1.3.

Main Mods you should know about

Full modlist : Click Here (may be outdated)

Visuals

Based on Animonculary Visual Overhaul 1.3 (very gorgeous yet performance friendly) modified. This modlist uses Seasons of Skyrim and a bunch of complimentary mods that will truly change the atmosphere in game. Each season last 30 days, so you will be able to experience them all in your playthrough.

Combat

Valhalla Combat lots of tweaks with Simonrim, NPCs use potions (with animations !), NPCStatRescaler, Precision. For the combat feeling, expect it to be slower but more impacting than vanilla.

Other important ones : Know Your Enemy, Potion Toxicity

Quests

Big ones are Wyrmstooth, Chanterelle, Helgen Reborn, Wheels of Lull, Penitus Oculatus, Beyond Skyrim - Bruma, Saints & Seducers Extended Cut and im planning on adding more but slowly to make sure they integrate well.

Many quests revamped : Jayserpa's quests, and tweaks to pretty much all of Skyrim's factions.

Followers

Interesting NPCs, Inigo, Serana Add-On, Mythos, Lucien, Morgaine,Misty Skye ( (｡)(｡) ), Katana, Daegon and some others...

Armors & Outfits

Vanilla outfits remodeled, and new ones that i tried to keep "lore-friendly" and "immersive" as much as possible... And they are pretty much all custom integrated into the game with crafting costs, conditions. Basically, armors look like 'real' armors on both genders, but some of the clothing can be skimpy. They are also balanced and integrated into the world, like in chests, vendors, or worn by people. That includes the Creation Club content. You can also now craft most vanilla clothes, and usually you can make them in a skimpy/alternative variant on a tanning rack if you have the original.

Economy

A lot of mods to make the game's economy feel alive with prices fluctuations depending on a lot of factors. As you cannot invest in all skills you have opportunities for gold sinks to alleviates some of your weaknesses (No smithing? you can order a new armor from a blacksmith for example) as well as very creative loverslab money sinks...

Seasons

NEFARAM uses the powerful Seasons of Skyrim mod and others to create a different atmosphere throughout your playthrough. Each season lasts for 1 ingame month.

Player Homes

Improved Vanilla Ones + Creation Club houses with a couple mods to make them better. The costs in particular are higher.

Other mods to be aware of :

Sunhelm, Experience

Survival is an important aspect of this modlist, but your whole gameplay will not revolve around it if you plan a bit in advance. Do note that a lot of the placed food in the world is removed, you will no longer find centuries old bread in your nordic crypts.

User Interface

Dear Diary Dark mode,TrueHUD, iEquip and others (see images at the bottom for example).

And More

Lots of cities and villages and landcapes overhauls, new interiors roleplay mods and animations... There is a lot of things that will be new and yet consistent with the game, to make hopefully one of the most fresh Skyrim experiences. Did you say you want to become a bard ?

Sex part

Disclamer

Non-consent(Rape) is limited-ish and you usually have a way avoid it and have trade-offs, but due to the sheer number of loverslab mods there might be some scenarios that slipped through. There is however slavery both of you and others but you will see it coming (more or less).

You need to be at least 18 Years Old to play the modlist.

The situations depicted in the modlist do not represent any resemblance to reality and are obviously a fantasy and should stay that way.

The mods

based on Sexlab Framework, with lots of new animations.

I recommend reading a bit on each modpage here, I put small descriptions but there is no details. Some descriptions are annoted 'CUSTOM CHANGES', that means once you've read the modpage descriptions then read what I added and you will understand more.

OSL Aroused : your character can get horny. Lots of stuff tied to so its more of a framework. Your arousal level appears on the bottom left of the HUD.

Sexlab Separate Orgasms : Minigame during sex scenes. (check Keyboard layout below)

Devious Devices : more of a framework for other mods but introduces bondage gear in Skyrim. I recommend you try to understand a bit how it works or it can become more frustrating than it is supposed to be. CUSTOM CHANGES : You can buy and sell the devices to merchants (see bug list at the bottom tho)

Devious Enchanted Chests : If you open chests they have a chance to be trapped and equip bondage gear on your character.

Yamete Kudasai : The defeat mod. When you reach 0 health, various things will happen to you.

Devious Lore : adds NPCs that an help take off your devices, as well as some other ways to get some equipped. supposedly also adds some quests but I've had yet to play them as they're quite hard to start.

Devious followers : You thought people would help you for free? They want a cut, and if you can't pay, they will find other ways to make you... CUSTOM CHANGES: custom armors considered 'pretty' for the deal: TAWOBA,TEWOBA,Ninirim Lingerie

Submissive Lola : Similar to Devious followers, but less about money and more about Sub/Dom relations. This one will not begin without you seing it coming, contrary to above.

Milk Mod Economy : You can make milk and sell it. CUSTOM CHANGES: removed the 'economy' part of the mod, when you made your milk just sell it to merchants, the values are tweaked.

Sexlab Survival (modpage is outdated, version in the modlist 0.685) : LOTS of stuff here, also lots of stuff disabled by default in the modlist. But basically : Do something wrong in cities and suffer the consequences. and there are a lot more consequences than just a fine or jail... You can enable some options back but it can get very intrusive (and also buggy). CUSTOM CHANGE : Armors considered Bikini : TAWOBA,TEWOBA, some others

Sexual Fame Comments : NPCs will gossip and react on what you do around them.

Radiant Prostitution : Talk to innkeepers, they have several new jobs for you... included patch to make follower be able to give jobs too. CUSTOM CHANGES: 'Working clothes': Ninirim Lingerie, Some of Ghaan craftable.

Public Whore : kind of same as above, but more hardcore.

Simple Slavery : Framework to get enslaved in other mods. Right now its quite difficult to become enslaved unless you do it manually. You can manually enslave yourself for a truly hardcore start if thats your thing in the MCM.

Paradise Halls & Diary of Mine : YOU can capture people, train them and make them fighters or sell them for money. at a slave auction west of Fellglow Keep. Talk to Olava for a tutorial quest. CUSTOM CHANGES : removed some dialogues from Diary of Mine to declutter it a bit. To capture NPCs, use the interface from Yamete Kudasai.

And quests : Amorous adventures, Book of Mara, Sisters of Dibella, and some vanilla ones tweaked to include the possibility of sex. The big one is Trouble of Heroine, it adds NPCs with more or less big quests (like 3DNPCs) but perhaps the most extreme one in this modlist (humiliation, rape, the whole shebang) and also lots of typos. By default I disabled the ones I tested that I found borderline or too annoying, but its a very large mod. However among all of this there is some good stuff in there. CUSTOM CHANGES: patches for Sunhelm, Milkmod, also some balance. You need to be Dragonborn officially for much of the quests to start.

Aaand lots of ambiant stuff surrounding the dark and harsh society that is Skyrim during a civil war.

About immersion

I tried to keep all the mods above as integrated as possible into the game and not feel too out of place, but some of them would require extensive patching to remove the way out there stuff, so some things like dialogue or some Devious Devices outfits can feel out of place but the trade-off is usually worth it.

Installation

It is recommended to have have Nexus Premium, or you will have to do a lot of clicking ! If you are updating the modlist, you can safely skip to the updating section.
