Succubus Heart ALPHA 3.x has released! Please help me test it!

This is the product of the re-write (from scratch). While this version may still contain bugs (I'm bound to have missed something...) this is what I'd consider feature complete for 3.0. While one could argue this version has less features than the older write (v2.7) the re-write should be more stable and have more solid mechanics and synergy. In honesty, I'm a bit burnt out on building the mod so I think this is where I'll stop any major developments on the core mod. I'll still be fixing any bugs and if anyone has a super cool idea for a spell/passive I'll add it but any other developments (such as shops/followers/pets/crafting) will move to separate .esp files as optionals. I feel this solidifies Succubus Heart as a 'companion' mod that works well with other mods, even tho it could easily stand on it's own!

Note-able changes :
+ More stable with (Hopefully) less bugs and WAY cleaner code
+ Passives system now uses 'Ranks' so they can be passively improved
+ Spells are now learned as variants
- - - [Base] will be the low cost version
- - - [Love] will be a stong 'full potential' version of [Base]
- - - [Hate] will be altered versions of the spell with different effects
+ XP gain is much quicker but with more things to spend XP on
+ Rare Drops have returned with special effects on each item
+ Death Drops have been added, find these 'Souls' on dead characters
+ New functions and sorting systems to make additions easier
- Shop has been removed
- Custom followers have been removed


[ <<>> ] What is Succubus Heart? [ <<>> ]
Succubus Heart is an adult gameplay mod focused on creating new ways to approach playing Skyrim with both new progression and new game mechanics. These mechanics give the player the power of a succubus enabling the use of life-drain and great sacrificial powers. Succubus Heart is built around the idea of being a complimentary mod and should be compatible with nearly every mod out there!

[ <<>> ] What's So Unique? [ <<>> ]
Succubus Heart isn't a transformation mod, or a power fantasy mod, instead mechanics are focused on making gameplay more interesting and offering the player new ways to approach situations. Succubus Heart can also be used on male characters, turning them into a soul sucking Incubus! While most succubus mods focus on the demon-archtype Succubus Heart's approach is based on a fantasy race of life-weavers giving a more human-but-powerful vibe. However if you want some succubus transformations or want to use Succubus Heart alongside other succubus mods nothing is stopping you!

[ <<>> ] Mechanics [ <<>> ]
Heart System : Your succubus will earn XP through sexual acts and certain items which can be spent to learn new spells and improve their abilities! You'll also absorb life force from your partners, permanently decreasing their status while improving your own!

Kill Leveling : Take your overflowing life force and level Skyrim's usual Skills using SP earned. You can also convert any unwanted XP into SP if so desired.

Sex Drops : Orgasms will give partners their special juices (Sperm and Milk) which can be consumed or used in alchemy! There's also a chance at getting rare drops which have special effects when consumed (or you can be boring and use them in alchemy...).

Succubus Spells and Passives : Use a wide variety of powerful spells with unique effects scaling with your succubus powers. Passives can also be ranked up to passively increase your overall effectiveness!

Combat Seduction : A simple combat submit mod, built right in! Initially built for testing, the feature can be handy if you're looking for a light-weight alternative to other submit mods. However I recommend disabling this feature if you do you other submit mods to avoid issues.

[ <<>> ] Installing / Updating [ <<>> ]
Installing : Simply copy Succubus Heart's "Data" folder to your skyrim instal, merging with that "Data" folder, then install any optional content you wish to use.

Updating : If you're moving to the Succubus Heart re-write you'll need to disable the old Succubus Heart write (2.7x and below) and perform a clean save before installing the new re-write (v3.0+ and vRx.xx versions)

[ <<>> ] Uninstalling / Removal [ <<>> ]
Disable the mod then perform a clean save. After the clean save delete the "Succubus Heart.esp" and all files pre-fixed with "SuH_" from your Skyrim's "Data" folder.

[ <<>> ] External Mod Support [ <<>> ]
Succubus Heart features are easy to access and modify, if anyone wants to create add-ons and additional mods feel free! If you have questions or any issues feel free to message me.

[ <<>> ] FAQ [ <<>> ]
Q: Why did you re-write the mod and end up removing features?
A: Removing features was never part of the plan but rather just a side effect. The original write was based on a flawed framework and the entire mod had become a grouping of work-around, causing bugs which I couldn't fix. The re-write allowed me to rebuild the foundation and build a more cohesive mod with better mechanics and synergy.

Q: Can I still level like in vanilla?
A: Of course! Succubus HEart doesn't alter any external scripts so other leveling methods should work as they always have.

Q: Can I use this mod as a male character?
A: Yep! Succubus Heart supports both genders.

Q: The MCM isn't showing and nothing seems to work!
A: Sounds like something installed incorrectly, try a clean install of the mod and make sure your files downloaded/extracted properly.

Q: _____ feels overpowered / underpowered, can you balance it?
A: I can try! If you have balance concerns make sure to send them my way and I'll work my best to work on it.
