Immersive Wenches Remake Plans :P

Hello there ;)

So lately I have been checking several things about Immersive Wenches and what to tweak to prepare it to "combine" it with Yuriana mod.

Immersive Wenches is by far my most downloaded mod so it's a shame is not updated regularly so I was thinking Yuriana mod should be turned into a "patch" that could use several things in immersive Wenches so both mods could work as "one".

Currently, I fixed and tweaked several things in Immersive Wenches that didn't really work in a good way and set the KS hairs version as the default one. So now I'm kind of at the point where new things should be set so here is the plan:

Make Immersive Wenches what it should be.

At first when I made the mod I just wanted wenches around inns for eye candy and pretty much that. I wasn't really thinking about turning them into followers or slaves :P I just thought the inns would be better with wenches walking around them since when I played I never got a player home and I just often went to the inns.

One of the things I'm aiming now for immersive wenches is tweaking several things that I added during the years that turned into stuff for Yuriana mod. I think adding the "slaves theme" to immersive wenches by default doesn't really go with the mod and I think it should be more "SFW and immersive", of course, that depends on everyone's mod but by default that should be the idea of immersive wenches.

Several of the dialogues in immersive wenches are also really bad :P and I think making new ones and adding other ways to recruit the wenches as squires/followers would be a better way to handle them.

In short Immersive Wenches mod should be mainly about wenches serving drinks, being damsels in distress getting rescued, and potentially becoming followers/supporters of the player if needed.

That being said the next step is using immersive wenches with Yuriana mod ;)

Turning Immersive Wenches into Buxom Wenches.

In the current Immersive Wenches 1.7 beta there is an updated enslaved wenches patch that should turn most wenches in immersive wenches into buxom wenches using the body and armors set in Yuriana mod. (Beast races wenches are not included)

The main idea here is that with Yuriana mod immersive wenches, NPCs should be used as part of the theme of Yuriana mod.

By default, in Immersive Wenches the wenches are just in their inns having their usual working AI routines but with Yuriana mod I think those wenches (and especially the ones in Riverwood) should be also captured by the bandits since they are also buxom wenches. +

I think most wenches in Immersive Wenches should be used to replace the generic captured wenches in Yuriana mod. In that case, it will depend on Yuriana mod how these wenches will end up, if rescued they will go and work as they normally do in Immersive Wenches. Rescuing them could also be a way to turn them into followers or if captured into slaves, which will leave the inns empty but that again is up to the player.

Making Immersive Wenches part of Yuriana mod opens the option to add interactions with some of those wenches and adds to immersive wenches the theme of enslaved wenches.

Improving Immersive Wenches face presets

Even though there may be some wenches that have good enough face presets they were mainly made using the Creation Kit so I think as a way to get "new" wenches it may be better to improve their faces bit by bit. I'm also still with the issue of trying to make the high poly faces work with the wenches (this is pretty much the reason I stopped making new wenches) in any case I think the wenches in immersive wenches should be improved at least to look like the wenches in Yuriana mod.

Turning Immersive Wenches into Buxom Wenches should affect the expansions too.

The expansions (especially Deadly wenches) should also be adapted to work depending on what is set for the wenches in IW so if you use Yuriana mod those "deadly wenches" turned into guards should be buxom wenches and should react to Yuriana mod as part of it.

For now this is the plan since first immersive wenches should work like I mentioned but I just wanted to mention that if IW is changed the expansion should be affected too.

In the current file I uploaded the wenches in IW should be turned into buxom wenches using the enslaved wenches patch but there are still several things to add. Also, the texture files for the KS hairs are needed but not the KS hairs.esp I will most likely include them when I release the mod since if people don't have them the wenches will have purple/non-texture hair.

I also uploaded an updated YurianaWench.esp with its scripts where I mainly updated some stuff about the curse mentioned in the previous post and some dialogues. It doesn't replace the previous beta, is more of a patch of that beta xD so be careful O.o

Pretty much tweaking several stuff to have several things to do :P I will upload a proper updated beta for Yuriana soon but I wanted to know what people think about including immersive wenches more into it before I make IW a requirement for Yuriana.

Thanks, and let me know what you think ;)

P.S:

Thanks to Deletetdyslexi a Lora to generate Yuriana pics was made and it was shared on the Discord server https://pixai.art/model/1665909274231639767?

I tried it and the results are good enough :P

I am still not sure how to use that in the mod or if I should, there are more pics shared on the server that look really nice too but AI pics sometimes have something strange or odd, maybe mentioning some "Dwemer AI technology" made some AI cards could be enough :P
