SOS De-Spicing Guide
This guide covers how to reduce overt eroticism in the list while retaining NSFW functionality like OStim for users who prefer things "behind closed doors."
⚠️ How to Use This Guide
This is not a sequential guide.
Each section is independent — pick and choose the changes that suit your preferences.
You do NOT need to complete every section.
Important: Armor changes will not reliably affect NPCs who already have generated inventories. For best results, apply these changes before starting a new save.
Table of Contents
Disclaimer – Read This First This guide was originally assembled using Journals of Jyggalag as the reference list. While the instructions apply across all Scrolls of Schtevie modlists, some screenshots, plugin orders, or plugin numbers may differ slightly between lists. The core process and steps remain the same.
Special thanks to Guurzak for originally creating this guide as a Tome post on the Discord server.
Armor Replacements
Replace default outfits and armor with less revealing alternatives.
Required Steps
- Filter the modlist for JOJ
- In the Overrides and Patches section, disable:
JOJ - Outfit Distribution
Armor Replacers
Download, install, and activate:
Select the PM file versions with prebuilt meshes. You will not need to run Bodyslide.
Place the mods immediately below JOJ - ParallaxGen Output in the Outputs section so that they win all conflicts, and enable them.
On the right side, move the new plugins to just below the PG_1 plugin in the Outputs section.
Advanced Alternative
Download the NPM versions instead, place the mods in a My Mods section just above the Outputs section, and run Bodyslide to build the appropriate outfit groups yourself. Select zaps if desired.
If there's a different replacer you'd rather use and you're able to build it in Bodyslide, have at it.
Less Spicy Option
Install SIB Clothes followed by:
Underwear Mods
NPC Appearance
Adjust NPC body presets and face overhauls to suit your visual preferences.
OBody Adjustments
Curate Body Presets
- Review presets in MO2 3BA section (and/or HIMBO)
- Enable ones you like
- Disable ones you don't
Tip: right-click a preset mod, then select Visit on Nexus for previews.
New vs Existing Save
- New save — nothing else needed
- Existing save — reset required (see below)
Reset OBody
- Go to a small interior cell with no NPCs
- Open OBody MCM
- Check:
Reset all distributed presets
- Save
- Quit to desktop
- Restart game
Blacklist Specific Bodies
- Find the preset
.xmlfile - Copy the filename (without
.xml) - Open:
Obody_presetDistributionConfig.json
- Add the filename to:
blacklistedPresetsFromRandomDistribution
- Save
If using this step, repeat the reset process above.
Optional: Diverse NPC Heights
De-Glam
Bordello modlists intentionally deliver a high-glam NPC aesthetic. If you prefer a more grounded, lore-friendly population, follow the steps below to replace NPC appearances.
Install Dibella's Blessing
Download and install:
During the FOMOD installer, select:
- CBBE
- Your preferred option for Elisif
- Your preferred option for Aela
- Yes, and AE
- USSEP + AI Overhaul
After installation:
- Move the mod into the NPC Overhauls section in MO2
- Leave the mod unchecked
Generate NPC Appearances
Use NPC Plugin Chooser 2 to apply Dibella's Blessing selectively:
- Launch NPC Plugin Chooser 2 from the applications dropdown in MO2
- Locate any NPC with a Dibella's Blessing option
- Right-click the Dibella's Blessing entry
- Select "Select All From This Mod"
- Confirm the selection
- Click Run
- Click Run Patch Generation

For a full walkthrough, see the SOS NPC Plugin Chooser 2 Guide
Run Required Tools
This step requires a generated NPC appearance patch:
- Launch Synthesis
- Run the Synthesis Character pipeline
For full instructions, see the SOS Tool Running Guide
Optional: Custom NPC Selection
You are not required to use Dibella's Blessing as a full replacer.
NPC Plugin Chooser 2 allows you to:
- Mix and match NPC appearances from multiple mods
- Select individual faces instead of full overhauls
- Build a fully customized NPC population
Refer to the SOS NPC Plugin Chooser 2 Guide for advanced usage such as mugshots and manual selection.
