Requirements¶
SexLab Aroused NG is an SKSE plugin with a Papyrus API. A small set of mods are always required; everything else is optional and only unlocks the integration tied to it.
Hard requirements¶
These must be installed or the mod will not load / initialise.
| Mod | Why |
|---|---|
| SKSE64 (Skyrim Script Extender) | This is an SKSE plugin — nothing works without it |
| Address Library for SKSE Plugins | Standard SKSE plugin runtime dependency |
| PapyrusUtil SE | All persistent state and config files use it |
Skyrim SE / AE / VR
Works on all three runtimes. Use the Address Library build that matches your SkyrimSE.exe version.
Soft dependencies (unlock extra features)¶
Each of these is optional. Install the ones that match your modlist — the rest of the mod works without them.
| Mod | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| powerofthree's Papyrus Extender | The Export to KID file MCM button. Without it the rest of the mod still works, but that button pops up an error |
| Keyword Item Distributor (KID) | Reads the file you export from MCM and applies your armor curation at game start. Without KID the export is just a text file |
| SexLab | SexLab plugin: per-stage arousal during animations, animation-tag scoring |
| OStim Standalone | OStim plugin: NG (and legacy v<29) thread tracking, observer LOS arousal scaling |
| Devious Devices / NG | DD plugin: device-equipped arousal, belt/plug denial modifiers, device-stacking multiplier |
| Milk Mod Economy | Soft integration |
| SLEN (SexLab Eager NPCs) | Soft integration — see the SLEN patch in the FOMOD |
| MergeMapper | Auto-remaps FormIDs after plugin merges. Useful if you've merged armor mods |
| FNIS, Nemesis, or Open Animation Replacer | Drives the optional aroused animations. Pick one during the FOMOD install (OAR recommended) |
Notes¶
- This mod replaces all previous SL Aroused versions — uninstall older versions before installing.
- It requires a new save unless you are already using SexLab Aroused NG 0.2.2. Earlier versions stored arousal data differently and are incompatible; the MCM won't initialise on top of them.
- If an older
SexLabAroused.esmis already in your load order, it can block initialisation — remove/disable it first. See Troubleshooting & Logs.
Once requirements are in place, head to Getting Started for installation and first-time setup.
