Installation Information

Both Devourment Remastered and Devourment Female and Male 1.2.7 are  Special Edition only  at the time of writing.

It is  HIGHLY  recommended to install any version of Devourment and its requirements through a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2(recommended) or Vortex

For installation instructions for Mod Organizer 2, consult the nexus page or look here.

As with anything, please make sure to actually spend time to learn how everything you install works. Most problems with modding can be solved by READING.

Bare essentials:

 * Your chosen Devourment variant. Only choose one. Loading any of these together will break a lot of things.


 * SKSE SE build (drop the files in your Skyrim directory manually)
 * Unofficial skyrim special edition patch
 * Skyui (needed for the mod configuration menu, make sure SkyUI_SE.esp is highest in your load order)
 * XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended (make sure this comes  AFTER  devourment and overwrites it's skeletons unless you plan to enable male vore*)
 * Racemenu (needed for body-altering functionality)
 * Fnis Behavior SE or Nemesis Engine (make sure to run these whenever making any changes to animations/skeletons)

Recommended Additions:

 * Fuz ro Doh
 * Jcontainers SE
 * SKSE Address Library
 * Engine Fixes (also, make sure to install Part 2, which requires you do drop it into your Skyrim folder manually)
 * UIextensions
 * Papyrus Utility SE
 * Running LOOT is highly recommended. Especially for those who are not sure where everything should go in their load order. Be careful using this in heavily modded installations though, as it isn't a perfect tool and may break load orders rather than fix them in installations with mods requiring very particular load orders.

For Devourment Remastered, install this patch from the discord: Devourment Remastered BETA Patch

For an in-depth guide to installing Devourment Male and Female 1.2.7, refer to this document. (Guide is for 1.2.6, but it works fine for 1.2.7)

After installing base Devourment, you can try installing any of the various addons made by the community.

'''*male vore requires the devourment male skeletons to overwrite those included in XPMSE and other male skeleton mods. Otherwise, the game will crash upon any male vore.'''

Papyrus Logging
Make sure to add this to your skyrim.ini file to enable papyrus logging for bug fixing:

[Papyrus]

fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0

bEnableLogging=1

bEnableTrace=1

bLoadDebugInformation=1

If having trouble please read this first as it explains well as to what you are enabling and what will happen: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/articles/368/

If you are using mo2, you should edit the .ini file in the tools menu and add papyrus logging there as well. https://forum.step-project.com/topic/1923-papyrus-log-missing/

BUG REPORTING (Remastered only)
'''Note: Make sure to click to enable debugging in the Basic tab in the devourment menu. This enables a more detailed report to be sent to Schaken when posting your papyrus logs.'''

Bug reporting is on a special page on Schaken's site just for this. If you see your bug listed, please dont post it for a second time. He will knock out the bugs one at a time.

Morphs and Bodyslide Belly Tutorials
A newer guide on morph belly configuration with physics is here.

The old guide to get the correct belly to work with the morphs is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdbv2z4l67yedfb/Belly%20Tutorial.mp4?dl=0

To clarify: "Morph belly" refers to the vore belly that is added to the body directly as a slider in Bodyslide. This is different to the default "equippable" bellies which are armor items equipped by the character.
