You really do need to find a new place to stay. Any other family members have room? I try to have a little sympathy for old people, they do get super lonely, but that's why I don't get charging you rent! If she's lonely, she should WANT you around, but at the same time she's apparently trying to drive you away... Or is just greedy. That's a shitty situation. Sorry man.

  Oh, good to hear.  I thought that the relationship slave material was still on hold, pending the property slave portions getting finished, so that there would be the right tie-ins and such.    I'm not good at keeping track of things.

  I totally get your distinction between pet play and furry.  It's way hotter if the person in the suit is being treated like an animal and there's nothing she can do about it, being locked inescapably in rubber.  Slip a gagged and plugged woman away into a banana costume made of rubber, and hey, suddenly that's hot too.  Lol.  I think we can deal with it initially resembling some furry stuff because there's actually a *narrative* instead of it just being about someone who sexually identifies as a raccoon.   There's a madwoman doing experiments on the player with various rubber suits and contraptions--I expect it to get weird.    Keep up the good work, both you and 0x7a69.

Cool. It's surprising how effective the little stuff is at giving a place an atmosphere or NPCs a bit of unique character.

  I like random as an option!

This issue is common, devious devices mod has "devices underneath" which can interfere. Go turn off anything you see in the MCM menu.

next stop, in-game screenshot?

Whoa... Awesome!!! I love how the inflated "boots" are transparent.

That's an excellent idea!!

I admit I did run two giant circles around whiterun looking for pony girls before checking back on loverlab for their location.... Heh.

Hey! I got around to trying out your mod, and I really enjoyed it. I had seen it before, but didn't realize that there was a questline attached to the books. Good work!

Looks great! I love that she is "appropriate for public" but then you see the pony boots.

So, Greyspammer, is it too soon to ask what some of your future plans are for the mod? It seems the main quest arc is basically finished--so with that framework in place, will you be fleshing out the interactions at the tower, adding repeatable quests, more rewards/punishments and that sort of thing? No pressure, just curious.

I hope nobody is blaming you or other DD mods for incompatibility--I think most people understand that TiR is fragile, and has an easily disrupted storyline. To play through the story it necessitates turning some things off, for now. An interactive story doesn't really mesh with other aspects of skyrim. You're not really going to take a break between quests for Mistress and go kill some stormcloaks or something. And that's fine--But other mods like Cursed loot do a great job at augmenting regular gameplay. They're trying to achieve different goals as mods. I like them both, but I'm effectively playing a different game when I'm working through the TiR questline, and once done turn back on all my other mods and avoid the tower.

I also had a few issues with tir_twr_toy01, mostly hanging at stage 90 while zenosha waits for... Spoilers. I eventually made it through after reloading back to the inn before being stunned. Something just didn't click the first time through. On my second try getting through the scene, the bounty hunter (bad with names) accidentally aggroed an NPC in the dragonbridge inn right before the fade to black, and entered the cell as a corpse. Whoops.

Okay, I'm STILL stuck on the Dollmaker character, and I've had some thoughts about the quest. Dialog possibilities almost exclusively. I feel like--perhaps--the character should get a quest marker to the dollmaker almost as soon as the collar is equipped. That way, should they book it to dawnstar, they might be able to ask the dollmaker about what's happening to them before they're fully encased. (More on that later.) So... After the first time the player is used as a doll, that NPC could inform the player of a tag on the collar, something to the effect of "property of the Dollmaker" or "please return to the Dollmaker in Dawnstar if lost". If not the first NPC to use the player/doll, maybe it's a percent chance that an NPC get that "more observant" line of dialog that pops the quest marker. But instead of teleporting the player there or some easy way out like that, the NPC should probably just say it's too much work and there's no promise of a reward on the tag, soo... The player still has to make their way there on their own while they transform further. Anyway, this might provide the context for knowing who to seek out, and where. Now--upon reaching the Dollmaker. No matter what the dollmaker's disposition turns out be, (from machiavellian madwoman bent on worldwide rubberization to a ditzy, wishful-thinking tinkerer who means no real harm in pushing her fetish) it's clear she will have no interest in halting the players transformation before reaching its final form. What fun is that? So either she deflects, denies responsibility, outright refuses to help or lies about a cure or sends the PC on a fool's errand to occupy time for the transformation to complete... Regardless, the player is eventually encased or escapes with no help from the Dollmaker. But post-encasement could get even more fun. It seems there could be a variety of escape options, or non-escape options. In an earlier post I had the idea that maybe (for a more sinister Dollmaker) she'll only allow release in exchange for trapping a number of other NPCs to take your place. Or, if the player LIKES being trapped in rubber (shocking) then perhaps the dollmaker employs the player in some way to further her schemes (or more benevolently) her business and research, which could also lead to experiments with new suits and toys. Really, it'd be silly to rush for freedom. I would also be curious to see what sort of "toys" the dollmaker might eventually sell. Now--here's reaching a bit beyond dialog and into random ideas that might be more difficult: The Dollmaker rents out dolls as followers. Like Janessa, a onetime payment sell-sword type follower. Just... Trussed up in rubber and unable to actually help fight at all. It would be HILARIOUS if your new hired eye-candy is occasionally trying to gesturally/mumblingly convince you to snap on a rubber collar, or you occasionally wake up from resting to find her fumbling to do it in secret. Would tie in with a more devious dollmaker who requires captures for release. Keep it up! I've said it before, but I love your mod and won't be offended in the least if you take the dollmaker a totally different direction, because from what I've seen, everything you do ends up awesome.

I love this mod! So, while updates to something I'm already invested in are particularly nice, I'm just happy to see you're modding at all, because I trust whatever comes of that will be cool, too. Keep doing whatever holds your interest!

Quick tip--while Kimy's deviously cursed loot can interfere with Trapped in Rubber, I left the mod installed with all functions disabled in MCM. Like you, I had to try the "devious" ballet boots, and later on the rubber pony boots (similar locking problems.). But deviously cursed loot has the *best* stripping toggle. The "FREE ME!!!" Command in the debug MCM menu will get you out of anything from any mod. Edit: I also hoped that maybe the rubber assassin quest could have a happier outcome if you snuck/back stabbed you way to the top of the tower and saved the slave.

Personally I like PayPal since it's extremely easy--I plopped down $50 for this mod and that's that. The downside to PayPal is that it doesn't add any sort of additional exposure like patreon can. However, the downside to patreon is that it demands attention to keep backers happy, and if you promise them input into the content, it might detract from the creator's passion. The upshot to patreon: fat stacks of money... I'm currently backing a flash game that hauls in 20k+ per month, and they don't do shit for updates. I kinda regret backing it and the project has also morphed into something I don't like as much. (Furries have all the money, it seems...) I just played through your interactive story by the way! I like it--I hope you continue it. I was going to leave feedback via the dorms but I hit "back" on my phone and wiped the data, and you know how it is--lose a form's data once and it's never getting filled back out. I especially liked the transformation happening in the background in parallel with the story, and for dislikes, (too strong a word) I thought choices divergent from the storyline (like running away at the start) should be allowed to progress at least a little before failing and looping back into the story arc. Makes it more immersive while also sticking to just one story instead of a true choose-your-own-adventure with 100x the writing.

For starters, make sure you've placed black soul gems at the crystals. Assuming you've done that, I suggest quick saves. Sometimes you get more interruptions, sometimes less. At one point, other pony girls seemed to run faster than me, later that seemed fixed. Took me 5-6 tries. You can save mid-race when you have a huge lead, btw.

pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'm used to other mods and their short update cycles and insubstantial changes, so, I think I was dismayed to not see any updates to Trapped in Rubber since its release... while all the time Greyspammer was working and compiling everything into an unprecedentedly epic update. I'm totally blown away. It's got to be in the same scope as Captured Dreams V4, maybe bigger.

yep. our problems are in synch.

Wow.  This is awesome.  So far, I've only had one problem, it happened twice so I hope this info helps:   During "school" which is an awesome scene, both unexpected and hilarious--the dialog would halt if the game enters it's idle, fly-around, cinematic mode.  Know what I mean?  after shaking the mouse to return control, dialog was permanently halted and it had to be advanced with SetStage tir_twr_school01. Bombs away.

Kimy has created one of the best MCM menus for configuring settings. You can turn down the odds of any event occurring to zero.

Whoa.  That is really, really cool.  That has an awesome, dark atmosphere.  Was the mod interactive at all?  like the player got installed in that setup?  I hope you pick up modding again in the future.
