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.

    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

        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.
