Better Vampires Skyrim Mod

I saw some other people doing this, so I thought I'd join in. Today I released my True Thane mod for Skyrim: Special Edition. It's a mod primarily aimed at making sure that, upon becoming thane of a hold, you feel a lot more like you're actually a thane and not just some random chap who can get out of jail for free once and gets yet another follower who's just like all the others. Better Vampire Fangs And Eyes For better immersion in your vampire Skyrim playthrough, this is a must-have mod. Skyrim’s vampires admittedly look scary at first, but the aesthetics start to grow old rather quickly. This is why we recommend making your character and other vampires look and feel more like a vampire with this mod. So I feel like over the past couple of years there’s been more and more entitlement in this community (e.g Fallout and Skyrim modding) and modding in general. I feel like there’s a lot of people that think mod authors have to do whatever they say and add specific things to the mod even if the mod author doesn’t want to. Better Vampires by Brehanin is an overhaul mod for Skyrim. It maintains balance and provides a much better experience for those wishing to play the game as a Vampire. It is HIGHLY customizable, compatible with all DLCs, and works with or without Dawnguard. Better Vampires is fun and really customizable, but Sacrosanct just gives so much more meaning to playing a vampire. Hemomancy is awesome, though a little op on lower difficulties. The spells all feel really unique and the way of obtaining them by draining victims is really cool. Feeding doesn’t feel like a chore like it does in Better Vampires.


* Please remember ... in Better Vampires, if you feed on a victim more than once in 24hr you drain them of so much blood that they DIE. If a NPC is set to be essential, they will not die, but they will have a variable set so you can never feed on them again (see the FAQ page about this). You can only feed on a dead body once.
* Feeding in Better Vampires is registered as an attack(except when feeding on your own thralls you've made). People will become hostile if they see you feeding.
* Some forms of feeding/extracting must be turned on using the configuration power or the MCM.
* Combat Biting in regular Vampire or Vampire Lord form doesn't affect your satiation and doesn't count as feeding per se - but it does give you health from attacking your victim.
* As of version 8.4 (and onward), you will have to sheathe (put away) your weapons or spells in order to feed or extract blood. This will help BV be more compatible with mods that add actions such as assassin stealth kills.
Feeding as a Regular Vampire
Skyrim better vampires npc mod

Sleeping Victims can be fed upon once they are completely asleep in a bed or bedroll. You should be sneaking when feeding on a sleeping victim so they don't wake up and register your feeding as an attack. Sometimes the animation for feeding may misfire if there isn't a suitable location beside the bed or bedroll (a navmesh or idle marker error/glitch).

Seduction Feeding requires you to use your lesser power, Vampire's Seduction, on a victim which mesmerizes them for about 10 seconds and allows you to feed. You cannot spam Vampire's Seduction on a victim; they will be immune to its effects for a while after you use it on them. You cannot use Seduction on a NPC while in combat.
Sneak Feeding is possible if you sneak up behind a victim and activate them. Successful sneak feeding is an instant KILL. At your lowest rank, there is a good chance they may break free of your feeding and flee or attack. At your highest rank, your victims never escape.
Force Feeding is available if you activate your opponent in combat when they are bleeding out. Force Feeding is an instant KILL.
You drain whatever blood your victim had left.


Feeding on the Dead lets you feed on dead bodies and drink whatever blood they may have left. You can only feed on a dead body if you are sneaking/crouching. If you activate a dead body while standing it just loots them like normal.


Extracting Blood Potions
