Parasites: FAQ - SkyrimLL/SkLLmods GitHub Wiki

Q: How to use the optional Chaurus Queen asset files?

A: Here is the structure of that Alternate assets archive.

Data\Meshes\armor\KyneBlessing\gagChaurusQueen - Chaurus Jaw

Just copy the folders into your Skyrim folder so that they can all go into your Data/armor/KyneBlessing folder.

Then go into that folder and only rename the folders you want to use (Remove everything after Queen in the name of the folder).

For example here, if you want to use the alternate Chaurus Jaw headpiece, just remove ' - Chaurus Jaw' from the folder name:

Data\Meshes\armor\KyneBlessing\gagChaurusQueen

You can use that method to turn on or off different alternate pieces just by changing the folder names.

Q: How does this mod fit in with other DeepBlueFrog mods?

A:

  • SexLab Stories - The Brood Maiden story will be playing a role in the upcoming quest from Parasites. The Stories Devious side of the mod handles the lactation effect when the player wears a Tentacle Monster or Living Armor parasites
  • SexLab Hormones- I added an option in Hormones' menu to better manage the max values of node scales when using NetImmerse Override. When you check that option, the max values of nodes (for mods I manage) are scaled back depending on which effect is currently active (pregnancy, hormones scaling, parasites, lactation). This should prevent abusive growth of belly and breasts especially.
  • Sanguine Debauchery + - Enslavement to Falmers, Spiders or Chaurus provides a good way to experience Parasites since they make these creatures more likely to have sex with you. SD+ enslavement to Falmers and Chaurus will also play a part in the upcoming main quest of Parasites.

Q: What are the parasite vectors/triggers?

A:

  • Spider Eggs (vaginal): Sex with spiders. Will not occur if you already have a vaginal plug.
  • Chaurus Worms (anal): Sex with chaurus. Will not occur if you already have an anal plug.
  • Chaurus Worms (vaginal): Sex with chaurus. Will not occur if you already have a vaginal plug.
  • Estrus Tentacle Attack: Harvesting chaurus eggs (requires EC+)
  • Tentacle Monster Armor: Chance when attacked by Estrus tentacle attacks (normally or through chaurus egg harvesting). Will not occur if you already have a vaginal plug.
  • Estrus Ooze/Slime Attack: Harvesting Creep Clusters (requires EC+)
  • Living Armor: Chance when attacked by Estrus Slime/Ooze. Will not occur if you already have a harness.
  • Blackreach Spores (barnacles): Sleeping nude in Blackreach, or in certain caves and ruins. Will not occur if you already have a harness.
  • Hip-Hugger: Sleeping nude in Blackreach, or in certain caves and ruins. Will not occur if you already have a belt.
  • Face-Hugger: Sleeping nude in Blackreach, or in certain caves and ruins. Will not occur if you already have a gag.

Q: I don't like Devious Devices. Will we ever get a version without it?

A: Not going to happen. I would not be able to write this mod in any practical timeframe without the infrastructure Devious Devices provides. I need a way to attach parasites to the player's body, manage slots, prevent other things to attach at the same time. Devious Devices is just the best thing out there to do that. For example, you will not get spider eggs or chaurus worms if you have a devious belt on. Similarly, you will not receive a harness from anyone if you have a living armor or tentacle armor on. Parasites is using Devious Devices as a framework. This means they are really belts, harness, plugs with custom meshes and scripts.

Q: I don't like Estrus Chaurus. Will this mod ever get rid of the (optional) Estrus Chaurus requirement?

A: I am not planning to re-do EC. I may use some assets from Estrus and I will hook into EC's mod events if it is installed though, but I will not have my own version of the tentacle rape. EC does that very well already.

Q: Will you ever expand on this mod with a quest or quest-line?

A: I will explain it in a lore book inside the game in a coming update.

Q: Is this mod for female characters only?

A: Most resources (meshes) are indeed for females, but I will add support for male character when possible (as I did with the Spriggan quest in SD+). For example, chaurus worms will be anal parasites and not limited to females. I am planning for at least one parasite as a schlong. I even have a mesh for that.

Q: Will this mod have pregnancy-like effects?

A: It does. When you are infected by spider eggs, your character's belly immediately inflates based on the number of eggs. If eggs are removed by a healer, your belly will deflate accordingly. You will need the usual to see the effects - a good skeleton like XPMS+ and NetImmerse Override (included in Racemenu).

Q: Can you implement my idea? What about using or ?

A: I am building a list of parasites, each with a reason to be there and a life cycle. I don't want the mod to be just a grab bag of random effects without a reason for them to be there. Lurkers or seekers are not possible. I am not using DLC content. (instabilities when accessing DLC files with the CK) I would like to stay away from script heavy or cloak effects because... Bethesda. That leaves me with event triggers, like sleep or combat and possibly duration inside certain areas (x hours in Blackreach for example).

Q: Is this compatible with EC Spider or RND?

A: I don't use EC spider or RND, so I can't comment on compatibility with thee mods. I am not expecting issues with EC since it is not using Devious Devices. Both mods should work together. I am also adding my own diseases and effects. They should not impact RND but that would have to be confirmed by someone using it.

Q: Is there a bodyslide version for these meshes?

A: For that, I am afraid you will have to track down bodyslides for each of the Parasites, extract the meshes from the bsa archive and replace the files. I edited the meshes to look for textures in the folders of the mod. Depending on what you do, you may have to edit them again.

Q: I have a problem where after giving birth I am stuck on the ground and can't move, any idea how to fix it

A: That happens sometimes. There are a few ways to get out of it:

  • if you have Sanguine Debauchery installed, use the Submit key ('' by default ) and click on the debug option. That should apply a ragdoll effect that will get you unstuck.
  • if you have SexLab aroused installed, press the N key until it triggers a masturbation animation. That will reset your pose.
  • if you are within reach of a chair or a work station, activating them can help too
  • basically, anything that can replace or reset your pose will help
  • if none of the above is available, you can always save and reload your game.
