Rather than adding a high-power companion to get you past Archerone, consider some alternate techniques to defeat him. If the player wants to go in with a frontal assault, leave it the way it is. Give a stealth option (he has to sleep sometime, doesn't he?), an archer option with a paralysis potion in a locked container, one powerful potion of resist magic, that sort of thing.

That makes a little more sense. Maybe have her provide steel plate armor (which requires corundum) after returning from Annekke, then make another quest stage available at a higher character level to fetch the ebony.

Just finished the new Lydia/Adrianne quests. I had saved them in this play through until the update was available. Worked fine, no issues. I didn't have a problem with the original form, but this is better developed. Question: is the armor that Lydia gets leveled? I did it at level 45 and got ebony (nice). Just wondering if she will get that if I do her quest as soon as I acquire her.

Re: pissing animation - I am currently on SL 1.60, but I never saw an animation for it even in 1.59c.   Found Vess in Rorikstead, seems like she should have a recruitment dialog there (she had nothing). "Mod is great, I won't bother saying why" is not useful, but kind words are always welcome.   There is no way for a comment of the form "mod sucks for reasons that I'm too busy to share with the likes of you" to not be offensive. Don't know what you were trying to accomplish.

Running v5.2 The Archerone scene has a pissing animation, but when I piss on Vess I get no animation. Since the animation is already present, could we get it enabled?   EDIT: I killed Mia this time around. 1. Vernor only has the "hanging by her wrists" dialog option, I should get a "lying in a pool of blood" dialog option. 2. When I got back to Morthal, the courier was there with an inheritance letter. Seems Mia remembered me in her will. Nice of her.   I let Vess and Niri go this time around. Does Vess go somewhere, or does she just vanish?

  Here you go, an under-appreciated mod "Dawnguard Delayed Start"   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26022/?   I run the level 999 version, though I edited it to go ahead and have the guards start talking about the Dawnguard at level 10. No vampire attacks in cities, you still see them along the roads at night.

Just a thought ... rather than putting a lot of special cases for when you can put your armor on in combat, just add an appropriate armor value to the slave collar. If I am understanding this correctly, the point of requiring nudity is humiliation not lack of combat effectiveness. That wouldn't account for any armor enchantments, though.

Running the latest version 2.07.02, still on SexLab 1.59c, brand new game, recruited Jenassa at level 4.   Everything is running fine, we kill the pirates and return to Windhelm. SexlabAmorousAdventuresJenassa is at stage 160. Get the reward, speak to Adelasia, stage 170. Speak to Jenassa, "hope you don't mind getting wet". No sexy times, stage goes to 180. "I'm trying to help you", stage goes to 190. No message that lovers are unlocked, no lover dialog options.   Any ideas?   EDIT : upgraded to current SexLab plus its dependencies. No difference.   EDIT : re-installed this mod, that fixed it. Must have had a corrupt file somewhere. Problem solved.

Already running NSAP, would be a good thing if you made use of it.

AHA! My journal has the On The Trail.. quest still active, with the objective "take Vess to Volkar for training". I've just completed her training, but it never cleared. Could that be it?   EDIT : That seems to have been it. That quest was stuck on stage 342, I advanced it to 350 and Niri would talk to me. She is now hanging in the dungeon until I have time for her.   In case you are interested, the order I did things was: - recruit Jenny - defeat Mia, chose to enslave her - recruit Sasha - take Mia to the dungeon - get the key from Vernor - sleep - recruit Linda - get Idgrod (is that her name?) - return to the Jarl, 4 naked girls in tow, take the reward - return to talk to Vess, tell her the good news - take Vess to the dungeon and train her   EDIT : the On The Trail... quest is still open. It now has two incomplete objectives - take Vess to Volkar for training, take Niri to Volkar for training. Apparently, talking to Volkar about them does not clear their objective. I also noticed that Volkar has a duplicated dialog line - two copies of "I want to train a companion". I picked the first one both times. Maybe that's the problem?   EDIT : quest now stuck at stage 352. Looks like to make it finish and get it out of my journal and finally drop Ravencrone's note I need to set it to 400 or 500 or 600, but I don't know which. Little help?

  Not sure, but I think you need to finish the Jarls Daughter quest and then decide what to do with her.   Did that, got the reward, talked to Volkar, declined his quest, talked to Vernor, accepted the virgin quest. Niri still won't talk to me.

Running v5.2 on a new play through. Everything is working fine, I've taken Vess down for training. Niri won't talk to me, saying "don't you have people to save, and don't ask I'm not going anywhere with you". Could it be that she suspects something? I think I should be able to offer to give her a reward and let her go or take her down for training at this point.

  Thanks! That's at least a few files that won't get updated just yet. I swear, keeping this game running is a full-time job.  

I'm going to start a new play through very shortly. What is the current thinking about SexLab 1.59c versus 1.60. Should I stay with what I've got or leap into the future?

The problem with the player enslavement path is that if she is too low-level to beat bandits, she won't have a hope against Archerone. Maybe after she escapes she leaves the dungeon and comes back much later. Otherwise it makes a lot of sense. Perhaps a flag in the MCM that indicates which option to take, enabled if the PC is female? If the player knows she is going to take the submissive path, this seems a better way to start and she could check the MCM flag and the bandits get a scripted lucky hit and knock her out, or Vess gets a bow with paralysis and a scripted paralysis of the PC.   Isn't there an option to pay either Vernor or Volkar to train a slave for you? I'm not seeing it, though I still have Mia hanging in the dungeon. Do I have to run one girl through training before it comes up? Or am I imagining the whole thing?   BTW, I've never taken the option to kill Mia. What happens with the training scenario? I would test it myself but for some reason my game won't load old saves.
