How to Play

Learn how to navigate the MCM, understand the enjoyment system, and get the most out of SexLab P+.

MCM Overview

The SexLab P+ MCM menu is your control center. Here’s what each section does:

Animation Settings

Configure how animations behave:

  • Animation Speed - Default speed for scenes
  • Cumulative Speed - Whether speed increases through stages
  • Stage Timer - How long each stage lasts
  • Auto Advance - Automatically progress through stages

Timers & Stripping

Control scene timing and undressing:

  • Pre-scene delay - Time before animation starts
  • Stripping behavior - What gets removed automatically
  • Re-dress settings - What gets put back on after

Actor Settings

Configure NPC participation and filtering:

  • Gender settings - Who can participate in scenes
  • Aggression settings - Consent and aggression handling
  • Expression settings - Facial expression behavior

Sound & Voice

Audio configuration:

  • Voice volume - Adjust voice audio levels
  • Sound effects - Enable/disable ambient sounds

Debug

Troubleshooting tools:

  • Reset systems - Fix stuck states
  • Logging options - Enable detailed logs
  • Test functions - Verify installation

The Enjoyment System

P+ features a completely rewritten enjoyment system that’s more dynamic than vanilla SexLab.

How It Works

Instead of simple timers, enjoyment is calculated based on:

  1. Collision Interactions - In-built 3D physics detection allows the system to be aware of penetration, grinding, handjobs, and other actions (as well as their intensity) among participating actors.
  2. Stage Tags and Position Tags - The system relies on stage tags as well as position tags, allowing it to detect nature of interactions and their intensity. This relies heavily on the comprehensive integration of tags from SLAnimStageLabels and HentaiRim in the SLSB conversions.
  3. Actor Preferences - Individual actors respond differently based on their arousal level, sexual preferences, sub/dom status, and relationship ranks.
  4. User Interactions - A highly configurable enjoyment minigame which offers additional enjoyment gain or reductions and has its own rewards and penalties.

Interaction Detection

P+ uses 3D physics data to determine what’s happening:

Detection Effect on Enjoyment
Penetration High enjoyment gain
Oral Moderate enjoyment gain
Grinding Low-moderate gain
Handjob Low gain
Idle/positioning Minimal gain

For a full list of supported interaction types and their relative effects on enjoyment’s rate, see the Enjoyment section in SexLab.ini.

Configuration Levels

MCM (In-Game - Recommended for most users)

Your MCM preferences are automatically saved to Settings.yaml and persist across all saves. This is where you configure game-facing options like animation speed, timers, and actor behavior.

Advanced Configuration (SexLab.ini - For technical users)

For fine-tuning the framework’s internal behavior (enjoyment rates per interaction type, detection thresholds, physics sensitivity, etc.), edit:

SKSE\Plugins\SexLab.ini

See the Settings Reference for a complete list of technical configuration values.

Understanding Stages

Animations progress through stages:

  1. Stage 1 - Usually foreplay/positioning
  2. Middle stages - Increasing intensity
  3. Final stage - Climax/orgasm animations

The stage timer (configurable) determines how long each stage lasts, or you can advance manually.

Orgasm Modes

P+ supports multiple orgasm behaviors:

Mode Description
Legacy Mode Classic behavior; actors climax together when scene ends
Scene Based Actors climax individally, once an orgasm-tagged stage is reached, which is usually the last stage
Separate Orgasms Default behaviour; actors climax individually, based on enjoyment

Configure this in MCM under the orgasm settings.

Scene Control

Starting Scenes

Scenes can start through:

  • Spells added by the internal Match Maker (can be enabled from the MCM)
  • Other mods (quests, events, etc.)
  • Spells/powers added by content mods
  • Console commands

Managing Active Scenes

P+ can handle multiple concurrent scenes. Each scene runs as a separate “thread.”

Ending Scenes

Scenes end when:

  • Timer expires
  • You press the end hotkey
  • Another mod ends the scene

Tips for Best Experience

Performance

  • Keep your animation library organized
  • Use the animation filter features
  • Don’t run too many concurrent scenes

Compatibility

  • Let P+ win all file conflicts
  • Use SLSB-converted animation packs
  • Check mod compatibility before installing new content

Troubleshooting

  • Use Debug > Reset if scenes get stuck
  • Enable logging temporarily to diagnose issues
  • Check the Troubleshooting page for common fixes
