Can't speak to the other two issues, alas, though for this one, you can use whatever one you like, or even make your own if you're feeling adventurous. As long as it's a UUNP Special body, it'll have the HDT vagina on it; the rest is just selecting whatever proportions you find the most appealing.   Glad you got it working! 

If you see a mesh coloured white when you load it in NifSkope, that's actually fine; it's just a symptom of a small configuration hiccup and nothing to worry about. The short of it is that even though the mesh knows where its textures are, NifSkope sometimes can't figure that out for itself and displays that white instead. It'll look just fine in game though, so you don't need to worry about it; it's just NifSkope being weird. Though if you're a perfectionist and it's going to bug you, these directions will put you on the right path; they're old, but at least for these purposes, you can follow the Oblivion directions and they'll work just fine for Skyrim too. Be advised that NifSkope is tremendously picky though, and some things will still look wonky.   That said, yeah, NifSkope can be pretty intimidating when you're still getting acquainted with it. The learning curve isn't as steep as it looks from the bottom though, I promise. Unfortunately, I've been dicking around with it since the days of Oblivion; long enough ago, anyway, that I honestly don't remember what questions I'd have had were I encountering it for the first time here, so looking at the bottom section of Asrienda's guide where they cover adding NiStringExtraData to a nif, I can't really think of a way to improve it much. Sorry, dude.  If you're caught up anywhere particular I'd be more than happy to keep trying to help, though!

Load order is pretty much a nonissue here* as you're not actually activating any new mods to get this working, prereqs aside (and it's likely you had HDT running anyway, this being the forum it is). All you're doing here is mesh and texture edits, and you don't need to worry about load order for those. Have you read the instructions in this post? If so, where are you getting lost?   *: Load order is more or less a nonissue anyway; LOOT is rad and will take care of that for you very nearly all the time.

To update for anyone either having the same triangle-riddled texture problem as I was or just curious, none1980's idea worked perfectly. I haven't had any texture problems since regenerating my mipmaps in GIMP, in spite of a good hour spent just starting and quitting Skyrim over and over to see if I could make it reappear. It was a pretty straightforward procedure, though if there's any interest in it, I'd be happy to write up a detailed set of instructions on exactly what I did.   EDIT: I did write up those instructions. They're here. Hope it helps!

The first thing to do is get the vagina textures onto whatever body textures you plan to use. If you’re having post-TexBlend problems, you’ve very likely done this already, but it doesn’t hurt to be sure. I followed Asrienda’s instructions and they didn’t lead me astray.   The next thing you’ll need is an image manipulation program. GIMP is both free and rad, and as it’s the only thing my broke ass can afford at the moment, it’s just as well that it’s up to the challenge. Photoshop or whatever-else-you-like will work just fine, but as I haven’t actually seen the inside of a Photoshop install since before .dds was even a file format, I couldn’t begin to tell you how it’d work.   You’ll also want the GIMP DDS plugin so you can actually work with DDS files. Installing it is simplicity itself; inside the GIMP DDS plugin download will be a readme (which will tell you what I’m telling you), and an exe. Just drop the exe into [your GIMP install path]\lib\gimp\[your version; must be at least 2.0]\plug-ins and that’s all you need to do. (For instance, on my machine, it went into Q:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins ; drive letter aside, your install path will likely be the same).   Now that you have GIMP and can open a DDS with it, you want to do that. Open your body texture, femalebody_1.dds first. Where you’ll find that depends on where you installed Skyrim, what textures you’re using, and whether you’re using Mod Organizer or not; in other words, you’re on your own there. I’m sorry.   Once you find and open it, a window will come up, asking if you want to load the mipmaps. Usually you would, but not today. So tell it not to, but also tell it to ask every time; like this:     Next, you just need to save it. You can either keep a backup of your old texture or not; I generally do, but I keep a backup of everything. There’s a reason I have so many fucking drives that my main program dump got up to Q; don’t be a packrat like me. Either way, what you want to do is click File, and then Export As. Not Save, not Save As, and not (as you might expect) Overwrite; Export As is the one that’ll get you to the dialogue box you need.     Leave the name as it is; it’ll ask you if you’re sure, and you should tell it yes. You can call it something else if you want, but then you’re just gonna have to come in and rename it and it’ll be a pain in the ass and weeping may be involved if you get confused, so just leave the name and it’ll overwrite the broken file with your shiny new fixed one. BUT ONLY IF you handle the next dialogue box correctly. It’ll come up with options for what to do with the saved file, and here is where you get the option to have GIMP generate new mipmaps for you. This being the whole point of the exercise, you definitely want it to.     With that done, your texture is now fixed! Do the same procedure for your normal map (femalebody_1_msn.dds) and specular (femalebody_1_s.dds) if you have one; your skin may not, and that’s probably okay. If you have a fourth file called femalebody_1_sk.dds it’s safe to ignore it. I have no idea what it’s for (though if someone out there knows and could tell me, I’d be grateful), but mine are like 3 kilobytes or something ridiculous like that so if it even does anything at all, it sure doesn’t do enough to notice.   And that, with any luck, should be that. Apologies if I'm unclear anywhere; let me know if you still need any more help!  

Khajiit have the same foot problem as Argonians do. The pixelation around the hips and ankles is a great deal less obvious on the fur than it is on the scales, though it's there too. Sorry the feedback is so delayed!

Is there some way to either lessen or outright remove the Speech gains from charming someone into the sack? It does certainly feel like it's roughly in line with Speech gains from similar persuasion/bribery checks, but in the situation I've just run into playing a character who's a bit (okay, a lot) of a strumpet and decided to ingratiate herself with the Companions after joining up... well, I'd gained a couple levels entirely from Speech skillups by the time I got back out of Jorrvaskr. I fully recognize that that's me being ridiculous and not SLEN, but an option to downscale or eliminate skillups might be nice to avoid accidentally powerleveling a character who makes a pass at everything that moves. Is there one and I've just missed it?

  Loading another game first did at one point address a different issue I was having, so I was trying it as a matter of principle. Alas, it was no help here. I don't have a great deal of time just at the moment, but I'll try to assemble some Papyrus logs in short order. I'm also curious why I'd be able to load one save but not a subsequent one taken while standing in the same spot; not that I'm doubting your explanation because you clearly know a great deal more about what's going on than I do, I'm just really invested in trying to put to rest as many "whys" as possible because I profoundly dislike not knowing what I'm doing.   Also, it's good to know that about Ralof and Hadvar. One less thing to fret over, at least. Thanks for the info!

I appear to be having a similar problem to the one bahamut2119 is having. With Captured Dreams enabled, I can play just fine for a couple hours, and then abruptly (and, upsettingly, at no consistent time) I make That One Save that's for some reason the last loadable save I'm able to make. Before I figured out what mod was responsible and disabled it, I spent about a week troubleshooting, and I can make the following observations:   Any save made after the corruption hits is a lost cause. Even disabling every single mod I have running won't let me load them. I haven't tried to clean those saves, and am not sure of the procedure to do so; I still have a set of them though, and given instructions, I'd be happy to try if it'd help diagnose the problem.   Disabling Captured Dreams, even if just by brutishly taking it out of my Mod Organizer list (I'm not sure if it needs to be decommissioned from the MCM or some other more involved process; I am self-destructively lazy sometimes and didn't check for it or any of my 250-odd mods before unceremoniously tearing them out of my install), fixes the problem; corrupted saves are still corrupt, but I can load the last viable save just fine and make new, viable saves from it.   If I subsequently re-enable Captured Dreams, I can't load any saves, new or old.   This may be a foible of MO because it's fucking weird and there's no reason it should be happening. If I re-enable Captured Dreams and try to load a save, of course I crash. If I disable Captured Dreams again after that, I still crash, until I disable any other mod; it doesn't appear to matter which one. Then I'm fine again. I have no explanation for this.   Some other scripts get messed up in corrupted saves too. For instance, after escaping from the Helgen cave and suggesting we go talk to Gerdur, Ralof just stands in place. His AI is still active; I can talk to him, engage in SexLab shenanigans with him, he'll even scowl and yell at me if I attack him. But he won't budge from the spot, and nor will he draw his weapons to defend himself if attacked. I'm not positive this is a related issue as I took a somewhat shotgunnish approach to debugging, but he moved around just fine after an enormous chunk of my mods that included Captured Dreams was removed.     I'm sorry I don't have any Papyrus output or a load order to post just at the moment; I can get both in a day or two, though my install is presently in a large number of pieces as a result of my own hamfisted efforts at troubleshooting. I can at least confirm it isn't hardware related; my rig is pretty beastly. My guess is that is has to be an interaction with something, and probably not something SexLab related at that as I'm pretty sure my setup of SexLab mods is far from uncommon.

  Heh! Yeah, I am a lucky dude in that regard. Kinky fucked-up weirdos come in both genders, as it turns out!

I'm having an intermittent texture problem that I'm at a loss to diagnose. When it happens, all female body textures (with the exception of Argonian and Khajiit, which I have not yet messed with) will be solid black from a distance, and covered in triangles up close. Please find attached a few screenshots, and forgive the default Nord; I wanted to document that it happens to new games too.     It doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't yet been able to figure out a reliable way to make it happen or not happen. When it does happen, sometimes I can fix it by going into Racemenu, switching to an Argonian or Khajiit since neither race is affected, then switching back; sometimes I can fix it by exiting to the main menu, starting a new game, quitting that, then loading my old save; and other times I have to quit outright and hope it's less obstinate next time I start Skyrim. It affects new games and old saves with equal frequency. I've only seen it disappear mid-play when one of my "fixes" (and I use that term loosely) works, and I've never seen it appear in the middle of play.   I'm pretty sure it's related to the Texblending I did to add textures to the HDT vagina, since it only appeared after I did that and goes away when I swap my original textures back in. Expectedly, it doesn't affect heads, and until I messed about with hand textures in an effort to figure out what the devil was going on, it didn't affect those either. Body and hands are never affected separately, for the record. If it's relevant, I'm using the higher rez install option of Mature Skins.   I followed the instructions in the linked tutorial, and used the UUNP labeled copy of Texblend that came bundled with the most recent release of Bodyslide 2. While I'm pretty sure I did as they said, I've evidently gotten something wrong, so I guess I can't say for certain that my problem isn't between my keyboard and chair. Google turned up a mess of conflicting answers, of which this post seemed the most pertinent. I reverted to the original textures and then did what the dude said before trying Texblend a second time (following its instructions on hand textures as an experiment was how I broke those), and it feels like it made the problem somewhat less consistent, but that could be my imagination.   What's odd is that it seems to happen less frequently the less mods I run. I'm running a mess of mods both SexLab related and not, and when I disabled a boatload of them for testing some (probably?) unrelated game stability issues, it felt like the texture bug would happen a lot less.   Interestingly, my wife has this happen sometimes too on a Khajiit with unmodified skin textures. She's not using the HDT vagina (or any LL mods at all), and sees it happen only in conjunction with Bathing in Skyrim, which I'm not even running. I'm not sure it's related since her problems do emerge mid-play, are generally less obstinate than mine, and (as far as we can tell) are caused by completely different things. It looks the exact same when it happens, though, and the Racemenu fix works consistently for her too, so I don't know; I'm pretty far out of my depth here, so I'm just tossing out anything that sounds vaguely relevant.   On the upside, the mesh side of things is working like a dream and looks absolutely fantastic when the textures decide to behave.

The spellcasting bug does seem to be squashed. I haven't had time to test all the weirdo cases my install tends to generate, but with what I've examined thus far, I haven't run into any troubles and I don't expect I will. Thanks, Schmendrick!

That's a fairly messy load order; you'd probably benefit from giving the load order here a look; it won't have everything, but it'll give you a pretty good idea of what should go where, at least for Lovers mods. BOSS handles Lovers pretty poorly, unfortunately. I personally have had even worse luck with LOOT, but some people swear by it, so give it a try if you're inclined and decide for yourself.   Either way, I'm somewhere in between glad and disappointed to hear that you still had problems with only Satisfaction running. I'll try unloading everything but Lovers and Satisfaction myself and starting fresh later this evening and see if the same thing happens to me.

The delinquent master errors aren't (presently) anything to fret about; the MB2 dependency was a planned feature Schmendrick mentioned that he hasn't actually implemented yet. Might as well fix that now as later though, thanks for catching it. I think you're right about the bashed patch too, for better or worse; I tried making a point of rebuilding it with all the Lovers mods disabled and still ran afoul of the casting bug when I turned everything back on.   In happier news, Install 1 is at least way more stable now, so thanks for that too. Evidently at some point I switched on MotionsNT instead of AnimObjectsPriority and never caught it. Derp!     EDIT: As I think on it, it might help if Schmendrick were to post his load order. It's got to be something my two installs and fienyx all have in common and that's admittedly already a manageable list, but if Schmendrick isn't having any problems then the problem mod also has to be something he's not running.   Unrelated further thought. I didn't think anything of it until now, but I'm noticing I have two failure conditions. Sometimes I'll get a casting animation and nothing at all happens, but other times the right spell effect will play and the spell still won't go off. For instance, when self healing, sometimes my character will just raise his/her hand and look goofy, other times the visual effect will go off too but magicka will not be drained and health will not be restored. Same thing happens for offensive spells; either I'll make the fireball hand gesture and look dumb, or I'll get the effect but not actually shoot the fireball. I wonder if these are the same failure or somehow two different bugs.

Unfortunately, after a week of testing, about all I can conclude is that testing mod interactions for this one is reeeeeally frustrating. Either I'm missing something obvious, or this bug is, speaking as an IT professional who hunts down stuff like this for a living, one of the more insidious software glitches I've ever encountered. At least on the two setups I have access to, which are even on two different machines, it behaves about the same. It likes to lurk. I'll disable something, and I'll run fine for an hour or so, and then the spell failures creep back in. Sometimes everything's fine until I restart Oblivion, and then it's back the next time I go to play; though more commonly it'll just wait a while and rear its head again. I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel yet, but I am definitely stumped for the time being.   Here are my load orders again.   Install the First: 00  Oblivion.esm 01  Morrowind_ob.esm 02  Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm 03  All Natural Base.esm  [Version 1.34] 04  Armamentarium.esm  [Version 1.35] 05  Artifacts.esm 06  Lovers with PK.esm 07  LoversCreature.esm 08  TLS Modded Mannequins.esm 09  SPTDiverseGuards-Resources.esm 0A  Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp  [Version 3.5.1] ++  UOPS Additional Changes.esp 0B  UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp  [Version 1.0.0] 0C  Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp 0D  DLCShiveringIsles.esp 0E  Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp  [Version 1.5.5] ++  USIPS Additional Changes.esp **  Oblivion Vwalk UOS.esp **  DLCShiveringIsles Vwalk UOS.esp **  DLCShiveringIsles Vwalk DG_DS UOS.esp 0F  LoadingScreens.esp 10  All Natural.esp  [Version 1.35] 11  All Natural -

No luck with the Bashed Patch, I'm afraid. What's odd is that doing almost exactly that last night did fix it briefly, but this afternoon it didn't do anything. I have a little time before I need to do anything today, so I'll comb through my mod list again for a while and see if I can make it cooperate.

I'll give LOOT a try later this evening then and report back; I didn't know they worked differently. That's pretty rad. I'm also glad to hear about the ini!   If it helps for tracking down the problem, I can confirm sroro's observation that for a statistically inconclusive number of casts, running about does seem to cause slightly more spell failures than standing still. I didn't think until I was writing this up to check if the same was true of walking or jumping, but while I'm messing about with LOOT later tonight I'll give that a go. I can state with reasonable certainty that NPCs are not affected; after picking a few caster-on-caster fights, I only observed a difference in my own ability to cast between when Satisfaction was enabled and when it was not. I haven't had a lot of time to mess about with isolating interactions from other mods, but I'll do a little of that this evening too.     Edit to avoid double post:   Unfortunately, I was not able to sort my load order with LOOT. I wasn't able to get it to do anything but crash. I did have success with testing mods, albeit confusing success.   The first thing I tried was disabling every Lovers mod, Satisfaction included, because I wanted a control test; as expected it worked, and I could cast. Then I re-enabled Satisfaction and all the Lovers mods that Satisfaction depends on. As expected, I was still able to cast without difficulty.   Next, I re-enabled Lovers mods slowly. And... oddly enough, I got them all re-enabled and was still able to reliably cast. Out of laziness, I hadn't rebuilt my Bashed Patch each time I re-enabled mods, which suggested to me that something Satisfaction is doing with the Bashed Patch doesn't much care for something-or-other that some other Lovers mod is doing with it; that doesn't make any sense, but any other explanation I could think of made even less sense. So to prove that to myself, with everything re-enabled, I rebuilt my Bashed Patch... and I could still cast, and despite my best efforts remain able to do so. I at no point saved my game with any mods disabled (and had the bug on clean saves beforehand anyway) so what I did shouldn't have had any net effect on anything, but there it is. The bug is gone and I can't get it back, though admittedly I didn't try very hard.   Luckily for the collective Us though, I did have access to another affected machine, and was able to reproduce the "fix" in fewer steps. Here it is:   1. Deactivate Satisfaction. 2. Rebuild Bashed Patch. 3. With Satisfaction still disabled, load Oblivion. 4. Cast spells with reckless abandon. I shuffled through the Lovers configuration menu for about five minutes just because I could, do whatever makes you happy. 5. Exit Oblivion. For extra weirdness points, you don't even need to save your game. 6. Re-enable Satisfaction. I didn't rebuild my Bashed Patch at this point since not doing so hasn't caused me any problems, but you probably can. 7. Load Oblivion again and, for absolutely no good reason since all of this shouldn't actually have done anything, you should be able to cast normally.   So... yeah. Someone else who has the spellcasting problem, please give that a try and confirm my sanity, because at this point it's looking kind of doubtful.     Second edit:   Back to the drawing board. After a couple hours of problem-free play, spells are back to occasionally failing just like before. I have nothing that even remotely resembles an explanation for anything that has happened. Maybe I just had a streak of wildly improbable luck.   I did get LOOT working eventually, though; turns out the ostensibly stable release is not that, but the beta works fine. Unfortunately, it didn't help.

I'm experiencing the spellcasting bug as well. It's a hell of a thing, even interferes with setting up other Lovers mods via their attached minor power.   Rolled my load order through BOSS without issue; I know you mentioned LOOT, but I already had BOSS on hand so please do let me know if they aren't as interchangeable as I think they are.   Here it is: 00  Oblivion.esm 01  Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm 02  All Natural Base.esm  [Version 1.34] 03  Armamentarium.esm  [Version 1.35] 04  Artifacts.esm 05  Lovers with PK.esm 06  LoversCreature.esm 07  TLS Modded Mannequins.esm 08  SPTDiverseGuards-Resources.esm 09  Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp  [Version 3.5.1] ++  UOPS Additional Changes.esp 0A  UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp  [Version 1.0.0] 0B  Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp 0C  DLCShiveringIsles.esp 0D  Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp  [Version 1.5.5] ++  USIPS Additional Changes.esp 0E  LoadingScreens.esp 0F  All Natural.esp  [Version 1.35] 10  All Natural -

With the time I have this afternoon, I'll play around with mods that the other dude who posted his load order and I have in common since it's likely to be one of them and see if I can figure out which one it is.     Unrelated to the spellcasting bug, I think it'd be nice to include some manner of player input in the skill gain (or loss, as applicable) someplace in the next release. Between RaperS, LSM, PSE, TrueCrime, the boatload of miscellaneous NPC-adding mods, and the frankly stupid settings I run all of those at, I have a pretty rapey install; it'd really suck to take a bunch of skill hits every time I decide to go somewhere via the local bandit toll road. (Also, I seem to recall a scenario in Player Slave Encounters where you get taken to some manner of sex slave training island, which is every bit as rapey as it sounds if not more so; it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that you'd lose points in the Lovemaking skill while you were there.)   Admittedly I have no idea how all this is implemented under the hood, but if possible, I think it would be pretty rad to have an ini control skill gain multipliers in various circumstances. So rather than just hardcoding a Lovemaking skill penalty for being raped, maybe have something to the tune of a -1.5x multiplier on all skill gains from sex if the player is being raped, but editable in the ini by whoever's playing in case you wanted to have rape be less (or more?) traumatic. I guess at that point you could also potentially assign a multiplier (0.5x by default?) for rapes the player commits, a multiplier (0.1x?) for masturbation once you finish MB2 integration, and whatever other special situations you care to detect and account for. Again, I have no idea if that's even going to be possible, but I figure if you're making a special handler for rape anyway, it makes sense to make it customizable.
