OProwess (Patreon)

Wish Granted...Now Available — Beta

Skyrim counts everything you kill. This one counts everything else.

Back in 2021 there was a mod called WhoreCraft. It wasn't a scene mod — it never played an animation, never moved an actor, never undressed anybody. It sat at the edge of the room, watched, and kept score. Sex made you better at something, and there was a perk tree to spend it on, and there were achievements hidden in it that the mod page never mentioned once.

Then the author went quiet. April 2021, and nothing since. What he left behind on the file page was this:

"If at any point I do not respond within a reasonable amount of time: consider this up for adoption. This mod is a thank you to the LL community."

A patron asked me to bring it to OStim. So I did — and while I was in there, I found out why his skill tree stopped working.

It wasn't balance. It was a hole in an ElseIf chain. The experience curve handled levels up to 50, then picked back up at 65. Everything in between matched nothing, the gain silently became zero, and the tree froze at 51 forever. Every player who ever got that far assumed it was designed that way. Nobody diagnosed it in four years, because a bug that does nothing doesn't look like a bug.

What's in this build:

A Prowess skill, and a perk tree to spend it on. Nineteen perks across three branches — one that pays you and buffs you after the act, one that turns being taken into a reason to fight back, and one for when you're the one doing the taking.

The tree runs to 100 again. The level-51 ceiling is gone.

Nine perks removed. They sat at level 100 with the word "reserved" in their description and no effect written behind them. An empty promise is worse than an honest gap.

Forty-two hidden achievements, with the original animated pop-up. Ten people by name. Sixteen factions. All nine cities. The rest you'll find on your own — the original author buried the list in a text file at the bottom of the archive and never said a word about it on the page. I'm not printing it either.

More than one can fire at once. The old version could only ever award the first thing it found in a scene. Walk out of the right situation now and they queue up.

It doesn't count anything itself. OSexLife already does that and does it better. This one asks.

ESL-flagged. Costs you no load order slot.

This isn't a port with the serial numbers filed off. SexLab is gone, ConsoleUtil is gone, the dead second perk tree the author left in the plugin is gone, and the one thing everybody actually noticed — the tree that stopped — works.

Requirements

Skyrim SE/AE, SKSE64, Address Library

OStim Standalone 7.5+

OSexLife — this is what counts. Without it you still earn perks and achievements; the statistics page just stays empty and says so.

PapyrusUtil SE

SkyUI + MCM Helper

Custom Skills Framework — for the perk tree

iWant Widgets — for the achievement pop-ups

SexLab is not required

Optional: OStim Sexual Fame — with it installed you also earn seven ranked titles for sheer volume. Without it you simply don't, and nothing breaks.

An animation pack for OStim, obviously.

Installation

Install with your mod manager.

Load the game, open the MCM (OProwess), look at the settings.

Then go earn it.

To open the perk tree, use the Prowess lesser power, or the Open the Prowess tree line on the Achievements page of the MCM.

⚠️ Important

Use a save you can throw away. This build has not been through a full playthrough yet, and I'd rather say that plainly than let you find out on a 300-hour character.

Beta notes

This is a WIP and I want it treated like one. The reports that help most, in order:

Does Prowess climb past 51? That's the headline fix and the one thing I cannot fully prove without play data. Tell me where it stops, if it stops.

Does the perk tree open? The tree config was rewritten to the modern Custom Skills Framework format for this build. If the power does nothing, or the menu opens empty, that's the first thing I need to hear.

Do the pop-ups fire? And if you earn two at once, do both show?

"Taken" vs "taking." The mod decides which one you were from whether the scene is tagged aggressive and who's leading it. Animation packs that don't tag their aggressive scenes will read as ordinary sex. Tell me which packs you're running.

Does the gold arrive? The old version handed out gold through the console. This one doesn't.

Papyrus.0.log if something goes wrong — anything with OProwess or OPW_ in it is the useful part.

Where this is going

Every perk in the tree unlocks between level 15 and 50. Past 50 you still gain levels, but there's nothing left to buy — those nine "reserved" perks were the original author's abandoned attempt to fill that half, and I'd rather leave an honest gap than ship his placeholders.

So the next thing is writing them for real. And the material is already sitting there unused: OStim knows things SexLab never told anybody — when someone climaxed, what furniture they were on, how close to the edge they are. WhoreCraft couldn't have used any of it. This can.

On price

This one goes public and free the moment the playtest is done. That isn't generosity, it's the deal: free mods stay free, always — patrons just get them first. And the man who built the original asked for exactly one thing when he left it for adoption, which was that it stay with the community that it was a thank-you to. That gets honoured.

What you're paying for right now is the early seat, and the right to be the one who tells me it's broken.

Thank you for keeping the atelier lit. 🖤

Creditssailanamai — WhoreCraft SSE, the original mod, and the design underneath all of this. And released for adoption.Built on OStim Standalone and OSexLife.

The Master pulled this one out of a grave and made it work again. I keep the ledger.

Everything you do goes in it. Don't let that stop you.
