HomeMany thanks to those who have supported me and donated! I appreciate your ongoing input and generosity. Better Vampires is an overhaul mod for Skyrim. It strives to maintain balance and provide a much better experience for those wishing to play the game as a Vampire. Other vampire mods exist, but they can be overly complex or force you to play only as the author intended. My mod is about choice and flexibility - and making your adventuring in Skyrim much more enjoyable. This mod only affects the player vampire; I don't make any changes to NPC vampires. Better Vampires requires the Dawnguard DLC. Older versions for those without Dawnguard are still available on the Nexus page. This is a HIGHLY customizable Vampire mod; you choose how you want to play. Available on Skyrim Nexus: Original https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9717 SE https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1925 Available on Bethesda.net XBox One https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/3007213 My mod will not work properly for you if you don't have an updated version of Skyrim. You should have the latest versions of SKSE and SkyUI(I highly recommend them both). This mod will work just fine without SKSE or SkyUI though! Some features, like increased jump height, a blood meter, or hotkeys, will not work without SKSE, but the mod still works! You can use my mod configuration power to customize things instead of my MCM. Do not clean my mod with TES5edit. It has already been cleaned and any changes are intentional and necessary for the mod to work properly. |
Question about Royal Bloodline Mod and the Vampire Mastered Achievement. help So I unlocked the bottom 11 perks of the original Vampire Lord peek tree.
- Dec 15, 2016 Skyrim Mods - Royal Bloodline Hey Skyrim mod fans! Royal Bloodline has been around for awhile, so I thought I'd give this legend of a mod, a little shout out as I haven't seen a lot of the bigger.
- Royal Bloodline + 10% to Health / Mana / Stamina This perk changes the Vampire Lord’s armor to Harkon’s royal version (incl. Cape and Skeleton) Sanguine Perfection Rank 1: Increases your Blood Magic magnitude by 10% Rank 2: Increases your Blood Magic magnitude by 20% Rank 3: Increases your Blood Magic magnitude by 30% Sharpened Talons.

My mod will be incompatible with other mods that change:
PERK VampireFeed
QUST PlayerVampireQuest
These control almost everything about your Vampire. If another mod contains different spells and abilities they may overwrite or mess with my own, but any change to the above files will screw things up pretty badly. You may be surprised how many appearance or blood/feeding mods change these files ...
My mod is currently compatible with:
Any mod which changes the appearance of Vampires
Skyrim Bloodline Choice
- (install their mod first, then mine – my mod does not have any appearance tweaks and I do not make ANY changes to vanilla races, so it will not overwrite their changes).
- (install their mod first, then mine) REMOVED
- You may have to use my 'Fix Feeding For Custom Race' customization menu option to be able to feed normally; only use it if you have to. REMOVED
- My mod will let your custom race work with regular vampirsim, but NOT with Vampire Lords.REMOVED
- Custom races do not work very well with Dawnguard ... use the RaceCompatibility mod by TMPhoenix IF and ONLY IF he has updated it to work with my latest version. His mod replaces my scripts so it will break things if you don't use the correct version ...
The 'RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard' mod should work well with my mod, but you have to follow TMPhoenix's directions.
My mod needs a clean save in between an old version and a new - he outlines a clear procedure how to do a clean save in conjunction with his mod:
'If you need to do a clean save for Better Vampires, you don't need to remove the RaceCompatibility mod, you NEED to make sure you re-install it WITHOUT the Better Vampires option. Then do your clean save, then re-install Better Vampires and then re-install RaceCompatibility mod WITH the Better Vampire option. Then you need to make sure MO/NMM/LOOT has placed the mods in the correct load order.' -TMPhoenix If you do not have Dawnguard or still need help, check with TMPhoenix for troubleshooting.
Issues and bugs will result if your custom race also modifies the PlayerVampireQuest script ... contact the mod's author.
Install your custom race, then my mod, and say yes to replace any files.
The mod author of a custom race may have failed to attach the proper tags so you can be recognized as a vampire ...
If a custom race does not have a vampire version of that race then others may not recognize you as a vampire in the game and you may be unable to feed. I have a menu option for a workaround that allows you to feed ... but it is only a bandaid and not recommended.
Mod authors of custom races don't necessarily need to edit PlayerVampireQuest script to be compatible with my mod. Contact your custom race's mod author and ask for a vampire version of their race.
_______________________________________________The author of any custom race can easily make a vampire version of their race (or you can too if you are so inclined):1) Load the custom race .esp in the Creation Kit2) Open the custom race (i.e. look for LunariRace)3) Change the name of the race to yourcustomracenameVampire (i.e. LunariRaceVampire)4) Save this as a new race, don't overwrite the original6) Add the keywords 'Vampire', 'ActorTypeNPC', and 'ActorTypeUndead' to your new race (General Data, under Keywords)7) Add the spells 'VampireHuntersSight', 'VampirePoisonResist', and 'VampireVampirism' to your new race (General Data, under Specials)9) Save your custom race .esp and exit the Creation Kit
_______________________________________________
After this, you can use the console to 'setrace yourcustomracenameVampire' (i.e. setrace LunariRaceVampire) and you'll be able to feed normally and be identified as a vampire in the game.
NOTE: Be sure you use my menu option to infect yourself with Sanguinare Vampiris and rest 3 days so you have all the vampire perks and scripts running in the background. You cannot just change your race, you have to have the PlayerVampireQuest script running in the background too!
To cure yourself, use my menu to reset vampirism, cure your disease before 3 days are up, and use the console to 'setrace yourcustomracename' (i.e. setrace LunariRace).
I also highly suggest trying these excellent mods:
Royal Bloodline - Vampire Lord perk tree and abilities by xyks
Skyrim Se Royal Bloodline
Fully compatible. Install my mod first, then install and load his after. For full compatibility load my patch after both our mods.
This mod aims to add more to the Vampire Lord and empowering it for the higher difficulties, while staying close to the original gameplay.
I highly recommend that you install my optional file that makes both the powers from Better Vampires and this mod available while in Vampire Lord form. This patch must be loaded after both of our mods.
