f*#@ YEEEAAAHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!! I really am glad this exists! The brothel/sex scenes in Dragon age and sex scenes in Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3, are about the only "sex" scenes in videogames that were tolerable (to me as an asexual), now its all full on grossness in most videogames that feature a romance. More videogames need a fade to black function as selectable in the menu. Now I won't have to worry as I go thru my future playthroughs of BG3! Thank you so much for making this mod!!!
While I won't use this mod I will say that it is very much needed. I played the beta and was on the forums. There were a lot of people who didn't like the sex scenes. Some were asexual like this modder or just didn't care for sex scenes in their games and would rather it go to a black screen or be left as an implied thing that happen off screen. There main reason was they felt it was immersion breaking.
As fellow asexual thank you so much for this mod. I like BG3 but for a roleplaying game devs not taking into account players who might not want to watch long sex scenes is kinda insane to me. I'm fine with sex in the romance but i don't really want to see as much as BG3 is showing sometimes. While i'm at it i also wanted to thank you for your Astarion mod, i always related to him as asexual person so a way to not ruin the romance while also not having sex in very first scene is something i always wanted and was shocked was not an option, it makes his act 3 scene so much more impactful.
I'm so sorry acephobes harassed you for making this i hope you're doing ok. I just want you to know there are people like me who needs those types of mods to play comfortably and no amount of complaining about "purity culture" changes that. I didn't choose to be sex repulsed so i'm happy other aces are making accessibility mods that lets me enjoy romances without being taken out of roleplaying by obligatory sex scene that i don't necessarily want to see. Again thank you for both mods <3
Thank you so much! Comments like these make all of the whiny “such a useless mod” etc. comments all worth it for me. I’m so happy my mod allows other people like me to enjoy the game more. <3
Also, sorry if you saw the user being rude in response to your comment. I kicked their reply to the curb. People can harass me about my mod, that’s fine, but I’m not about to tolerate going into someone else’s mod and harassing their mod users for using it.
Nice, but I would like to see this taken a little bit further. Something that completely removes all sex and romance from the game. Just a tweak that prevents the romance/sex flags from triggering.
You know, a "horndog begone" mod.
I have some children that I think would enjoy this game but the content is a bit too mature for their age level.
mmm... do you think it's only the sex that makes this game inappropriate for children? doesn't the violence concern you a lot more? even if you get a no-gore/blood-mod, violence in this game reaches very high levels sometimes... slaughter of children also, and out of your control sometimes

like freeing halsin he always targets the 2 goblin children first and fixates on them
, animal cruelty, cannibalism, torture (self-inflicted too)... even if playing a super lawful good character yourself, you get confronted with plenty of morally grey situations and options, you can steal, deceive, mind read/control others against their will... the language and manners of many characters (including companions who are supposed to be folk-heroes, some of their banters are simply mean and callous) i would think deeply and thoroughly about considering this game apt for children solely because you removed the sex... please, give yourself some time to ponder on this before exposing any children to it
@avahzd if you consider my toughts as trolling you have not understood a word i wrote (if you are referring to other user i sincerely apology for the misunderstanding, but you replied directly after my message of advice so i interpreted it as a direct comment on my lines)
i agree with @ratara and everyone praising this mod that the game may be too horny for many people (@emeraldtechno good job)
but i honestly don't think removing the sex would make this game safe for CHILDREN, as @ratara suggests the game has A LOT more adult content that is not sex this game is NOT for children, even if you take the sex away, even if you take a lot of other things away too
I would like people to not argue in the comments of my mod please. ^^' I don't think I'll be making a "child-friendly" version of this mod and that's all there is to say.
Very interesting. I'm not very far into my first playthrough so I don't know how all the relationships will play out, but I saw this mod and it made me wonder--is it not possible to develop meaningful relationships with our companions if we don't romance them? Because if that's not the case, why not just stay friends with everyone? Romance isn't required for deepening the relationships is it?
This was posted on Reddit and it garnered a lot of heat LOL Nonetheless, I do appreciate you making such a mod. I can take the game more seriously now.
Wait, let me get this straight. You're saying that people are actually getting heated over a mod they are NOT required to download and use because it makes it so the player is not required to do the sex scenes in order to progress with the relationship intact?
You should see the way they react to simple cosmetic mods... I saw a post where they went on a witch-hunt over one person removing wrinkles from their own character. The reddit community is filled with weirdos who will crucify you if you dare change the look of the companions in your own single player fantasy game.
Personally, I'm never going to use this mod. But that doesn't mean that I intend on attacking anyone who does use it. I actually think that it's nice that there's such a wide variety of mods that let people tailor the game to their liking. What happened to just ignoring mods you don't like?
God bless you for making this. How does it differ from a vanilla game with "Show Genitals" and "Show Cinematic Nudity" disabled? If I recall correctly, the game skipped over Karlach's sex scenes automatically with this configuration, but that was ages ago, so I may be remembering incorrectly or it may have changed.
I didn’t play in EA so I don’t know if it was different back then.. but in my testing for this mod, having genitals off and cinematic nudity off didn’t make much of a difference. Which is unfortunate, I wish disabling cinematic nudity actually just… skipped the explicit scenes.
No, it wasn't EA, it was full release! It... It doesn't skip anymore? Either I'm remembering incorrectly (very likely, to be fair) or that is a massive downgrade.
This is a f*#@ing blessing upon mine ace ass holy s#*!,,
Oh this makes my life so much easier and so much less awkward to have multiple tavs/durges/origins romance for the companions without suffering awkward giggles at genitalia on other genitalia and having built a pc that currently cannot do any sort of headphones in hubris... It'll definitely save me the space bar spam (the thing's abused enough as is with all my other games..)

Removing all of the sex/romance flags entirely would be a lot of work so I probably won’t make that mod. But maybe!

Some games will not be for you and your kids and this game is not appropriate for kids even without all sex and romance.
No further comments from me, except to thank the author for making this.
Kinda says a lot about them doesnt it?
