Is your purse sagging from all your Draugr crypt Gold? Did you ever feel like Skyrim just ain't xenophobic enough? Or have you found your player character with way too much freedom? Come settle your findom needs here and let Licenses oppress your character!

Licenses, or LPO, allows you to define Skyrim's laws as roleplay elements and/or gold sinks. Transform your Skyrim into the oppressive world of your fantasy. This is the premier license mod for Skyrim.

Note: This archive is adjusted for a Nexus Mods release, so some update notes may not be relevant. Core mod functionality is unaffected. Deprecated versions will not receive support.




ALWAYS FLEXIBLE - Licenses offers you a variety of ways to customize the mod. Change which body slots LPO checks via the Slot Filtering page. Tag your modded items with relevant VendorItem or LPO-specific keywords. Adjust how exactly LPO enforces your laws. It's all up to you.

ALWAYS VERSATILE - Other mods focus only on either SFW or NSFW. Licenses follows a hybrid model instead, allowing you to fit taxation into either gameplay style.

CAREFULLY COMPATIBLE - Unlike similar mods in its class, Licenses avoids worldspace edits and NPC additions, preferring instead to place a primacy on your vanilla game world. Licenses leverages existing NPCs while also endeavoring to reduce what footprint you see of it inside your game. This ideology leads to what I call "sweetened vanilla": It's like vanilla, but with more sugar. Thus, no need to worry about common incompatibilities with other mods.

SAFELY INTEGRATED - Licenses integrates with a variety of mods to protect your gameplay experience. Find fun times with supported mods and feel safe with a guarantee that Licenses won't intrude where and when it ain't welcome.

MILK DRINKER'S PARADISE - The Kinky Dialogue option allows a more forceful belittling of the player by in-game guards, tailored for each license feature you've enabled. Fits right in with all the "sweet roll" and "arrow-in-the-knee" bantering.

LIKE A KHAJIT ON SKOOMA - License checks run with both native conditions and multi-threaded script processing. Equipment checks, a known horker-of-a-beast, are processed swiftly with Scrab's Papyrus Extender.


TINKER IT - Change your LPO settings to whatever you want them to be. Manage your Skyrim laws with the click of a button! Each feature has its own clear conceptual boundaries, and the MCM exposes all details so you can design for your play-style.

RENEW IT - By default, LPO establishes a strict active license cycle wherein the player temporarily loses any ability to regain license privileges should they lose their license copy, but you may avoid this trap with the Renewal feature. Take care: License renewal fees are not prorated!

LIMIT IT - The number of active licenses can be capped via an MCM option. You can also disable immediate post-expiration purchases with the License Cooldown setting. Find your limitation beyond the gold in your purse.

When upgrading some existing saves with newer minor (major.minor.patch) updates, you may see the following notification: "Detected potential config version conflict." Licenses will automatically prompt you to reset your MCM quest. If you'd like to defer this action, you may later go to [Licenses > Auxiliary > Reset MCM] to properly upgrade your save game. This prompt is a product of excessive caution, though you may still opt for it to flush any cached MCM-specific variables incorrect for your current LPO version.

If you are multiple versions behind the latest release in any capacity, you may need to first deactivate LPO in-game and create a new save file with it deactivated before installing a newer version. Pay careful attention to the version number; Licenses follows semantic versioning.

Assume that downgrading saves is always unsafe.
