custom camera
Sleep Intimate uses a custom camera to bring the view down closer to bed height for bed scenes then reverts to near default camera afterward. If using INI settings to customize the camera, these settings may become replaced. Disable Custom Camera in the settings holotape, or edit the default camera values in FO4Edit to match your customized camera. See the Sleep Intimate Camera page on how to perform these changes.
Scene View
Find Scene View options in holotape under Intimacy Menu with additional test settings in Test Menu, or MCM in Settings Preferences -> Test Settings. In update v2.70, the default Scene View changed to include more furniture using Orbit-view camera. If encounter too much shaking or character positioning issues, choose -strict, or try customizing specific scenes using Test Mode with Cancel Scene.
- Orbit-or-Look-default: Orbit-view for standing animations and most furniture (no beds by default); Look-view for props in the way of camera or character positioning
- to include beds for Orbit-view, set Go-to-Bed to prompt/disabled
- Orbit-or-Look-strict: Orbit-view only for standing animations and older animations like Leito’s 1.4 or Crazy’s; Look-view for all furniture/prop scenes using AAF-compatible animations
- Scene View Look-view (ghost/solid) – ghost avoids camera being pushed by NPCs in Look-vew. If disabling player collisions interferes with another mod, select solid.
How to customize a specific scene:
- in General Menu/Settings, enable Test Mode
- enable Intimacy Settings, Cancel Scene
- get intimate and during animation activate Pip-boy to cancel
- if scene can be changed a menu displays to change view – select Yes to switch
- may get intimate again on same furniture (automatic success) and choosing same selection should play the same scene again in other view
- when finished with changes you may disable Test Mode
Note: if you want to switch view for all bed animations, toggle Go-to-Bed (Intimacy Settings)
Additional options available in Test Menu/Settings:
- Force-Orbit-view: intended for testing orbit camera mode – some animations may shake severely, may encounter poor character positioning or alignment
- Look-view only: all scenes, always
What is Look-view? Your character’s doppelgänger placed in scene, and your character becomes a stationary ghost controlling the camera view.
What is Orbit-view? Your character takes part in the animation with the standard third-person camera view orbiting around.
Notes:
- Orbit-view on furniture/props may cause characters to float above – use -strict if prefer closer placement with Look-view
- Leito’s v2 and some “Atomic Lust” animations likely to shake on beds – animations intended for on ground work better on beds with Look-view (using doppelgänger)
- For certain animations incompatible with Orbit-view (object gets in way of camera or placement), Force-Orbit-view overrides to Look-view. This includes Dance Pole, Pier Railing, Sedans, jail-oral, and throne.
fewer conversation interruptions
Passing NPCs may interrupt sleep or sex scene by starting a conversation, or a companion not currently following may open a ready-to-travel dialog menu. Besides choosing quiet place to sleep, reduce chance of these interruptions by adjusting game settings. Sleep Intimate detects conversation game settings to unlock nearby lovers not currently following instead of being restricted to follower-only.
I recommend “You Talk Too Much” by akkalat85 set at 50% or less frequent.
unlock all nearby companions - not just currently following
Any one of the following overrides follower-only companions to unlock all nearby companions for consideration:
- the fewer conversation interruptions game setting (above)
- “Amazing Follower Tweaks” (AFT) installed
- “Unlimited Companion Framework” (EFF) installed
Companion wearing Intimate Lover’s Ring with Lover’s quest running also available when not following.
custom-height companion mods
Sleep Intimate (v2.84 and newer) is compatible with a custom-height companion. If using a mod like “Height Variety” or have customized a companion’s height, improve animation alignment with Sleep Intimate preference in Intimacy Menu, Kiss Actor Align (Enabled-Default). This affects the kiss animation, and for R-X users many custom intimate animations. After scene ends companion height restored at default scale (1). Optionally to maintain customized scaling choose Kiss Actor Align (Enabled-Custom).
How does custom height work?
Each NPC has a mininum and maximum height values. By default, both are 1 resulting in males at height of 1.00 and females at height 0.98. This is not the same as using console command, SetScale, which scales the character based on height. In practice it’s best to patch-override the NPC’s height values instead of using SetScale to maintain better compatibility with furniture and also Sleep Intimate animations.
When embracing or getting intimate with a companion, the Kiss-Align feature obtains from the companion the current scale and base height to calculate a scale value to achieve the height the animation was designed for. If the companion is already at the preferred height no changes are made, otherwise the actor scales for the animation then afterward the original scale restored.

Test Mode
I used this mode to build and balance and decided to leave these features in the released mod along with adding a few more including a scene demo.
See Settings Menu to enable Test Mode. Some features may be found in the Test Menu.
features:
- (R-X only) Intimate Scene demo - pass persuasion check to confirm scene works - see MCM/holotape help section or below under test scene
- Test Menu selections listed above
- (R-X only) AAF with setting no-fade reveals the AAF GUI on HUD - shows Sleep Intimate coded position ID if need to report an issue
- intimate prompt Display Chance button - reveals persuasion chance details - keep in mind 25% chance (1/4) is considered average
- Immersive Rest fast-time rate: 10 minutes (default), 8 minutes, 7 minutes (similar to faster-wait-time)
Immersive Rest fast-time records your TimeScale, sets TimeScale to 40 (default), 50, or 60 and after sleep restores your TimeScale. If experiencing odd game behavior consider setting to a longer duration (lower TimeScale). A high TimeScale may break a feature such as when a feature depends on the order between real-time timers and game-time timers.
tests:
- Does your character undress properly? -Test Menu: Get Naked! (also see Undress Check)
- Does your companion undress for bed? -Test Menu: Undress lover for sleep then use Redress lover
- Do intimate scenes play properly? -see instructions below:
(PC R-X only) test custom animation pack: if have Savage Cabbage’s pack, can test Dance Pole dance or Lap Dance for easy pass – otherwise, for free pass:
- be near a bed with romanced companion
- enable Test Mode (General settings)
- in holotape open Test Menu
- select Intimate Scene Demo (if nothing happens, select again so menu refreshes and a message displays)
- exit Pip-boy and activate Rest on bed (will pass without points rewarded and no voice for success/fail)
hidden adjustments (PC-only)
Global constants intended for the author. Edit using FO4Edit.
- DTSleep_AdultContentOn (*) - set to zero to disable adult features and accessing adult content, set to 1 for XOXO (hugs and kisses) mode, or 2 for R-X
- DTSleep_DebugMode - sets Test Mode features and verbose level, 1 or 2, of Papyrus log (2+ dumps significant logging which may impact performance)
- DTSleep_SIXPatch - intended to be used with the old animation pack patch
- DTSleep_XPLow - not used
- DTSleep_XPMid - how much experience gained by completing quests (Intimate Tour)
How to test intimate scene animations:
With Savage Cabbage’s pack, choose Lap Dance at an armchair for easy pass. Female player-character may also build Intimate Dance Pole and activate with any companion following for free dance.
For a one-time check, consider starting new game or set date to Valentine’s Day for the bonus. If fail, wait on chair for several hours and try again. Also see the Test Menu for a one-time pass. Otherwise, if your character has never used the Test Menu pass feature, you may use my test method which allows 5 consecutive free passes without point gain.
- console command set DTSleep_DebugMode to 3
- use the holotape to enable Test Mode
- test intimacy at bed or chair up to 5 times
- when finished disable Test Mode to play normally and console command set DTSleep_DebugMode to 1
To test a specific animation pack with normal pass/fail chance, enable Test Mode and set DTSleep_DebugMode to the following:
- 5 = Atomic Lust or old Rufgt
- 6 = Leito’s Animations
- 7 = Savage Cabbage’s Animations
- 9 = Gray’s Animations
- 10 = BP70
(*) Note: adjust AdultContentOn with R-X only. Basic and XOXO remain limited due to missing assets and alternate scripts.
