📋 About This Mod
Description
I use the Experience mod and decided I would like to gain some experience when engaging in sexual acts. I originally had created a simple version of this using SL Triggers, but the file I made for it was getting difficult to maintain as I added support for more tags, and I wanted to gain exp from OStim scenes as well. So this is a simple mod that grants experience whenever the player character engages in a sex scene.
The amount of experience granted is based on the tags (SexLab) or action types (OStim) associated with animations that are played. This is configurable in a json file. A default configuration is included for reference.
For SexLab I only grant exp based on the animation that was playing when the scene ended, as generally only one animation is played.
For OStim I detect every change and evaluate them separately, then take the maximum value over all actions and grant exp from that.
There is also an MCM to control a few settings.
MCM Settings
MCM is called "Sex Grants Experience". It contains:
-
[]Two flags indicating which of SexLab and Ostim were detected - not configurable, just informative
[
]No Match EXP - A base amount of experience granted if the animation doesn't match any entries in the config file[]Creature Multiplier - A multiplier applied to any scene involving at least one creature. Setting e.g. 0. 25 results in a 25% increase in EXP from the base amount determined from the config file. Setting this to 0 results in no additional EXP. This only applies to SexLab, as OStim does not support creature animations.
[]Per Actor Multiplier - A multiplier applied to any scene involving more than actors than the configured threshold. Setting e.g. 0. 1 results in a 10% increase in EXP per actor (other than the player character) involved. So with that configuration and the default threshold of 3 a threesome would result in a 20% increase in EXP. Solo scenes or scene with just one other actor do not apply this multiplier.
[]Per Actor Threshold - How many actors are required in a scene for the per actor bonus to be applied. Setting this to 3 (the default) means only threesomes or higher apply the bonus.
[]Per Actor Behaviour - how the per actor bonus should be calculated. Three options:
[]Count all actors - in this case, assuming a threshold of 3 and multiplier of 0. 1, a threesome would result in 30% more exp than a two-person scene
[]Count all actors except player - in this case, assuming a threshold of 3 and multiplier of 0. 1, a threesome would result in 20% more exp than a two-person scene. This was the behaviour prior to v1. 7, and is the default
[]Count actors at/above threshold - in this case, assuming a threshold of 3 and multiplier of 0. 1, a threesome would result in 10% more exp than a two-person scene
