Fertilty Adventures Aela Quest update

Latest build with Finished Aela quest and a bunch of new unique voicelines for too many characters to list.

For Aela's quest I changed many lines to hopefully sound more natural. Also added more detail to the location in her quest along with proper distant terrain LOD.

One thing I've noticed about this build is that the voice files generated by the ElevenLabs batch generation tool sound like shit in comparison to the ones I generated myself. It's subtle but there's a noticeable ro...

Still working, here's a photo of a dialogue tree!

Hello, here's a snapshot of what I've been doing. This chart is all of the announcement dialogue for unmarried women in the game. I had to zoom out pretty far to get everything in the picture. I intend to give the same treatment to the men along with variations for married announcements too.

Aela's quest is still in the pipeline but I've put it off in favor of this for now because I'm still thinking about what I want to do with it. I was really proud of the worldspace I'd built for her ...

Current Plans for Fertility Adventures

So now that I'm back to modding here are my plans for Fertility Adventures. I'm currently working on Farkas' quest and I'm making a few tweaks to part of it as I wasn't happy with how the latter half played out. Aela's quest will be next with the possibility of some tweaking as well.

With Aela completed all of the quests will be properly converted to the Redux version, meaning I can focus on new content. To start off, I'll add some more unique announcements and misc dialogue. Maybe add ...

Fertility Adventures Redux Update

Sorry it's been so long, I've been pretty depressed. I've taken steps to improve, so hopefully I'm on the mend.

Anyways, I have a small update for you. Serana and Mjoll's quests are now in the Redux build and seem to be fully functional for me. Mjoll's quest re-voicing was done entirely with an ElevenLabs batch generation tool I found on Nexus and I think it sounds great. This tool is going to save me hours of tedious copy/pasting.

Fertility Adventures Redux Patreon Build

Been sitting on this for a while, no sense in not putting it out there. I'm not ready to give it an official Nexus page yet, I want a lot more dialogue in it before I consider it to be ready for the "official" release. Still, this build is working well for me and should be good to use right now. I can't imagine overhauling any more features going forward so it should be safe to use and update over time.

What  to expect from the new version? Firstly you can expect high quality Eleve...

Fertility Adventures: What I've done this week.

Vilkas Quest: Mostly re-voiced (still has some XVA-Synth lines in there) with a few tweaks to some lines.

Ysolda Quest: Partially re-voiced (Khajiit voices lose the accent with ElevenLabs so I opted to keep the robotic XVA Synth lines). Also a minor fix to how the dungeon location is selected.

Serana Quest: Fully re-voiced with some changes/expansion of some dialogue. Working on potential fixes to reoccurring issues.

I'm on the fence about the child support system I've menti...

Just confirming I'm not dead

Hello, it's been a minute since I last posted anything here. Just got back from a two week trip and I think I'm ready to put my head down and get some work done on this. I just upgraded my ElevenLabs subscription so I can store more voices at a time. Not much more to say at the moment. Have a good one.

FA Test Build Progress Update Jan 26, 2023

Behold, female players now get a quest marker on their baby daddy. Gone are the days of being told your man isn't a unique NPC and having to resort to selecting anybody to be the dad. That was a very clunky way of handling it at the time and I'm happy that it's gone. Currently adapting the unique fathers to this new system because they were handled differently. Hoping to have this up by tonight.

Edit: Maybe not tonight, testing has revealed a few issues that need fixing up. Soon though!...

FA Plus Test Build 1

The test build for FA Plus is out. Female side of things is pretty broken and will have to be rebuilt. In the mean time I've released the test build to hopefully iron out some bugs on the male side of things.

Specifics on the test build are written here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/4866

Jan 6th Status Update

Happy New Year all,

Regarding Fertility Adventures 2, I've abandoned the idea of a complete reboot and will instead be making some heavy edits to the original mod. No sense in throwing away all of the work I've already done, right? I'm currently converting the original mod to require FM+, which I'll hopefully have done in a few days. The update will be the same old mod as before, just converted to FM+. On a user end it will be identical to the original in content, but with much snappier...

I'm back in business

Hey all. My PC is built and everything seems to be going smoothly again. Ysolda is taking a bit longer than I thought because I ended up scrapping a lot of dialogue and reworking things. I think the result is going to be worth it though. I've essentially given her a family history/backstory now. 

I've also started my notes for Camilla, Annekke, Sylgja, and Muri.

My computer is a piece of shit

There will be a slight hold on development for this week because my computer problems have returned with a vengeance. I thought it was solved by changing the motherboard, but the blue screens are coming in fast and furious now. New parts are on order and when they get here it will be a 100% new machine. I’m super annoyed but at least I got an excuse to upgrade to a high end machine.

Sept 20th Public Status Update

Hello all,

My Evening With Angi quest mod had a very positive response, and I think there's enough of a demand for a larger mod of that style (essentially Amorous Adventures but without porno dialogue/plot). I've started developing that mod now, starting with Ysolda (because she was my first Skyrim wife, lol). I'll be developing it alongside Fertility Adventures 2, with the intent of having them synergize well. Of course, they won't require each other, but they'll be good to have togeth...

New Mod: An Evening With Angi

A quick break fro the regularly scheduled programing. I've put out a small "romance" mod called An Evening With Angi. I had this mod finished and sitting on my hard drive for months, so I thought I'd release it. I wouldn't mind doing a larger scale mod of this style in the future. Here's the link to the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/74499/?tab=desc...

End of August Public Post

I'll go into Fertility Adventures 2 stuff first. All announcements will now have variations depending on if the player is married to the person. If child support is enabled, you might get hit with that if they're not your spouse. Getting smacked with child support isn't a guarantee if your partner is unique though. I've written some unique lines for the housecarls that allow for some interesting options. If you knock one up, you can always agree to marry them, but they also have the unique op...

FA 2 Public Progress Reoprt: Child Support

Today I've been working on building up the child support system. How I want this to work is to have a daily amount of gold you need to pay for every child of yours who ends up at Honorhall Orphanage. Don't worry, you can pay in advance, so there's no need to pay every day. Failure to pay over a certain amount of time will result in you being pursued by tax collectors and bounty hunters, sent by a child protective agency type of faction. This faction aims to decrease the amount of child abando...

I have returned, and I will be rebooting Fertility Adventures

It's been a while since I've put out a substantial update to FA, but my back has healed enough for me to be able to work on mods for an efficient length of time. I've also fixed my computer blue screen problem that was corrupting files I was working with in the creation kit. Now that everything is in order, I've finally begun getting down to business.

As the post title says, I will be remaking Fertility Adventures. I'm ok with it existing in it's current state, but I believe things coul...

March Update

Hello everyone,

Apologies for the slowdown in development, I've  been dealing with some back issues and sitting at my desk for more than 20 minutes had become quite painful. I'm slowly recovering, so I hope to get back to work at a more steady pace. I'm still working on Elisif/Ulfric.

I'm also working on a totally separate mod project that I'm currently calling "Romantic Encounters of Skyrim". It's similar in nature to Amorous Adventures, but the quests will be much shorter ...

First update of the year

I've returned and updated the mod as well as the child add-on. Up next will be Ulfric and Elisif support. There is also Derkeethus support in progress as a gift for my russian translator, but that might take a while depending on certain factors. Elisif and Ulfric will probably come first.

Patreon billing paused for a month

The holiday season has greatly increased my workload in the real world along with increased family commitments. My progress on the mod has slowed to an absolute crawl and it wouldn't be right to charge at this time. I'll still be working on the mod during the month, just at a slower pace. 

I'm currently working on the unique children, working out the details of how they're going to work. Will do Serana first, then Aela. I want them to have unique interactions with their parents/rel...

Fertility Adventures 0.31 and child add-on

Small update to add Angi support today with a small preview of a potential child add-on. You can read about it in the mods description (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/56750?tab=description). 

IRL is a bit busy right now so the update was a little smaller than I'd like. Hopefully I'll get some time to sit down and focus on something bigger soon. View Post

Fertiltiy Adventures Serana Quest Progress Update

Happy birthday Skyrim!

Serana's quest is now almost finished. All that's left to do is run through it a few times for bug testing. I also need to do the voices for it. I haven't had the chance to use XVA-Synth 2.0, so I'm looking forward to it.

Fertility Adventures: What's next?

Alright folks, here's a little update on what I'm working on. Adding support for Camilla is nearly done and the beginnings of a quest for Serana is being drafted. I'm once again here to ask what you guys would like to see next. Please comment if you have some thoughts.

Here's some other ideas I know I'd like to add at some point:

- Support for some Orcs. The marriageable ones, I guess.

- Elisif support. This one is probably the most requested in the comments of my mod pages....

Fertility Adventures Aela Quest Beta Version 2

Another update for ya. The new world-space has been given a face lift and a few bugs have been smashed. I wanted to release it tonight but I've had second thoughts regarding a certain portion of the quest. I'm specifically talking about the second trial of Hircine. To be honest, it's total cringe. I thought it was an interesting idea in my head, but the execution fell flat. I'll be replacing it with something more appropriate. Fortunately, the replacement I have in mind will be very easy to m...

Fertility Adventures SE 0.25 BETA TEST

Alright, the time is almost here. This is a test for the next update. It's the largest thing I've done so I want to make sure it releases in a good state. Remember, this is a test so don't be using this on your main save games. Here's some details:

- The dialogue is pretty much final. Translators can feel free to start their work.

- The quest will start as soon as Aela announces her pregnancy. This will be delayed in the full release. It's also supposed to take place after the que...

Which version of Skyrim do you use?

Because I've been making the mod on the SE creation Kit and back porting it to LE. This has been fine so far but I've run into the issue of  the new worldspace for Aela's quest being completely fucked in Oldrim (it's fine in SE). I'm not sure if fixing it is possible.

Patron Poll: Do you use Fertility Mode: Fixes and Tweaks?

Just looking to know if you guys are using the base Fertility Mode or if you have the Fixes and Tweaks mod by SubHuman. Fixes and Tweaks has a lot of features that could be useful to me, but using them would mean that Fixes and Tweaks would become a requirement.

Also, Aela's quest is moving along nicely. My goal is to get it done before October.
