I’m asking this somewhat weird question because I found a nexus collection built upon loverslab stuff with like 200 unrelated mods that are awesome together. It’s amazing until I encounter any of the sex stuff. Dongs of Skyrim is just funny af and I don’t count it. The physics alone lmao.
Mostly though, it’s male gazey, objectifying (every woman is a potential partner and an install option allows the user to have guaranteed suave charm that can’t fail), BUT it’s all optional and if the creator hadn’t merged a bunch of stuff to get past some technical hard mod limits and conflicts I would be able to remove them. Outside the sex stuff, it’s deeply immersive and atmospheric. I just, feel bad, every time I realize that yes I’m playing a mod pack for fetishists that turn every npc into a potential sex slave. Its…. Gross.
I don’t know, I guess I’m asking what thoughts are on the game equivalent of separating art from artist in terms of avoidable mechanics that provide a problematic tint to the whole thing nonetheless. It’s hardly a pressing moral Issue, but it made me curious to see if anyone here had thoughts on the whole thing.

Build a game world where you can murder everyone you see, it's fine.
Build a game world where you can fuck those same people instead and everybody loses their minds :joker-gaming:
It’s a video game :jesse-wtf:
If you’re fantasizing about choking a woman and making her your sex slave while talking to her IRL, yeah the mod isn’t going to help. But if you’re just bored and horny and want to nut to big boobed elf lizards, then I don’t think that’s a big deal
wtf is a "Mod Pack" you sicko
install your own mods like an adult, this is the most disgusting post ive ever seen
Yeah sure, because everyone is an unemployed lumpen with the free time to learn how to merge 300 mods
Yes because everyone has the time to learn how to merge mod files to avoid the hard limit. Some of us are actual proles with jobs. I don’t have the time for that
i was just tryna be cheeky but
respectfully, you're the one who made a post about being uncomfortable with the shit you did have the time to install. you shouldn't have if you don't like it. :wonder-who-thats-for:
People here may snicker at this post, but I totally know the pain of ACCIDENTALLY giving everyone in Skyrim carefully sculpted physics simulated bazookas while simply trying to make shop signs more high res
Wasn’t an accident, I knew it going in. I simply accepted the consequences. And am now feeling guilty
i looked it up and LMAO the boob physics are hilariously off. reminds me of that japanese fighter game where the boobs would jiggle around and clip through their heads
There's a whole slew of jiggle physics configs to choose from :very-smart:
Not sure any of them qualify as particularly true to life, however
me, looking down and jiggling my tits and looking at the video back and forth really quickly to try to understand what theyre doing wrong
Dead or Alive? I remember the first one on the Dreamcast exaggerated the physics based on the age you entered in-game. It was basically a 0-99 jiggle slider.
LoversLab are by far the most knowledgeable and skilled subset of the Skyrim modding community. Horniness is a powerful motivator I guess.
anyway as long as it doesn't include anything that objectifies kids (which isn't allowed on LL but is definitely out there) it's fine. There's no major moral difference between a fantasy where you can kill anyone you see and a fantasy where you can bang anyone you see.
Loverslab is all about being extremely horny in vidjya games, but from what I've heard their mod packs are legit. Depending on what mod loader you are using you might be able to go through and selectively turn off the :hyperflush: mods.
I’m self hating, but this isn’t helpful, how do I unmerge this shit
Hey, you asked "...if anyone here had thoughts on the whole thing", and my thoughts are 'you should find the uninstall button.'
Can't you disable the bad sexy mods in your mod manager?
The only games I've ever bothered with modding are Bethesda games, and it seems meaningful that most mods for those games are about making the women rail thin with beach ball breasts and lordosis with a collection of 150 gimp suits and well over 500 different sets of lingerie.
Anyway, there are only four good skyrim mods: Ars Metallica, Realistic Female Armor Overhaul, Hunterborn, and Dragonkiller Cart Reloaded. If you're really feeling fancy, get one of those immersive survival mods. I've never done the ones that massively overhaul the combat system, but I'm sure they can be fun. Oh, and the mod that lets you tell the Blades to chill out.

The bolded part is the only thing I take issue with. I will have you know those gimp suits are available for every conceivable and inconceivable body type
You would be suprised at the number of horny modders who are, in fact, Lesbian gazing. Skyrim modding in general is a very LGBT heavy community.
Thing with modding is, a lot of the regular ones require innovations that were created by horny bastards.
That’s like, totally not the point. The border line between gaining that is horney and the sexual objectification baked into straight horney that is inseparable from normal gamer shit was the intended question
