Contessa

  Real-time update - I was just contacted by Valve's lawyer. He stated that they will not remove the content unless "legally compelled to do so", and that they will make the file visible only to currently paid users. I am beside myself with anger right now as they try to tell me what I can do with my own content. The copyright situation with Art of the Catch is shades of grey, but in Arissa 2.0's case, it's black and white; that's 100% mine and Griefmyst's work, and I should be able to dictate its distribution if I so choose. Unbelievable.   It's from a link posted earlier, near the bottom of his post: http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/33qcaj/the_experiment_has_failed_my_exit_from_the/

I just clicked on the paid mods and am getting an Error: No Longer for Sale page on every one.

He's pretty steamed about the message he got from Valve's Lawyer. That's what happens when you get into bed with massive corporations like this. Modders thought they would be respected and looked after by them? No, they are the cannon fodder and their creations no longer become theirs.

As if the Workshop wasn't already a haven for asset and full mod thieves, now they can get money for doing it. Bravo.

  In theory it's already here, look at Chesko's fishing mod.

My main concern is Fallout 4 and beyond. Skyrim's modding scene is already well established with thousands of mods freely available. This has me honestly afraid for how Fallout 4 and Bethesda's future games will embrace this new model.

This has the potential to be a mess of epic proportions. How will they handle permissions? Ripped content? People lifting mods to get a quick buck from other places claiming them as their own? Workshop already has a reputation for being a mod thief's haven.

I feel a bit embarrassed showing my girl in this thread full of robo-babes but here goes:  

It could be coming from the Steam Cloud.

I've had this issue with textures in Skyrim and I can't figure out why. It doesn't matter what texture I use, it's always there, save for one. Fair Skin Complexion doesn't have this issue, maybe it's something the creator did to resolve it but I don't know about such things so I ask here.   Here's a few quick screenshots I took to show the issue, the textures are SG Textures Renewal, but like I said, any skin texture save for FSC has the issue in shaded areas:   Nude Screenshot links in spoilers so beware     My issue is the weird "dirty" look they get when outside in shaded areas. What causes this and how could I get rid of the problem?

Thanks for your quick help also cute character you have.

Well it was improved but not gone. Still it was way better so thanks. Perhaps I should look into some of those lighting mods to erase the issue completely.   I'm curious as to what option Fair Skin Complexion has that completely eliminated the problem. Would it be the Subsurface Scatter/Disabling option? Whatever that is.

Installing it now, gonna try it out. Looks like it may be the one though, we'll see!

No, I set it to High and fiddled with a few things. Textures are always at the max settings. I don't have any lighting mods installed presently, so it may be a vanilla issue in terms of lighting?   This issue only shows up outside. In dungeons and other interior areas things are fine.

Is there an English version available anywhere? I can't seem to find it. >.>

  Hah! I wonder how often that happens...

Thanks, I'll give your idea a go.

I'm going to start a new Fallout: New Vegas game soon and was wondering about your opinions on how I should build my character. I want to go for a nerdy/innocent weak scientist type that doesn't get by on being a pure badass but more on sheer luck. Clearly I'm going to be using a lot of Sexout stuff so that goes into it.   I feel it might be a fun change of pace, it's hard for me to be immersed in some of those slavery/captured type mods knowing my character could kill every one of them buck naked with her bare hands.   Any suggestions how I should place my points? Traits?

Long ago I mentioned the Helios One event crippling my framerate and I think I found the culprit. I was recently going through Epstein's Tryout scenario and I encountered the same immense drop in frames and the slideshow effect, what was odd was that it only happened when I would "look" at that weird box thing next to the bed. I seem to remember the Helios One party having that or something like it so maybe that was the issue.   I don't know why that one thing cripples my game, but it does, because whenever it wasn't in the screen everything was normal.

This may have been addressed recently but I added these animations and one of the random blowjob animations is weird. My Courier and the Male companion doing the action get down on all fours and masturbate and it looks like a possible three-way bj of some sort. The male acts like a woman masturbating.   Is there some numbering oddity happening here?

Looks good. Really good.

  Just to add to this, Tale of Two Wastelands basically converts Fallout 3 and its DLC into a giant mod for New Vegas. So Xluxlu, you will basically play Fallout 3 and this Mod through New Vegas, if NV works for you then Fallout 3 with Tale of Two Wastelands should be okay.   Personally, not sure if it's true, but I found playing FO3 via TTW much more stable than FO3 by itself anyway, so it's a win/win all around.

Don't feel bad, it's worth the full price, besides that's the way of things in any game. Even for PC's! I bought this PC and not even two weeks later I saw one that was literally twice as powerful for the same price.    Took me awhile to get over that one.

Actually you should get a key that you put into Steam in order to activate Skyrim there, so you should be safe buying it elsewhere for cheaper. You still need Steam for it regardless of where you get it, I believe.

Well for Skyrim or New Vegas I've always wanted a dialogue/choice-heavy mod that has sexual situations involved. Also not having sex be the destination but a natural part of a story is something I always enjoyed. I'm very open-minded in what type of content I enjoy in such adult mods, but if they come with heavy dialogue/choices/a story then I am all-in.   Edit: To clarify what I mean by "sex being a destination" I think of many romances in games like Baldur's Gate 2. It's like you spend all this time getting to know someone, having interesting choices during and then you sleep together and that's it. No more interaction, no more conversations, no real follow-up to what happened save for the single morning after talk... it just drops. I understand a mod can't go on eternally but it always kinda bugged me how fast things went from interesting to dead after one event.
