About this mod

Changes being a vampire slightly so that you become more like the Skyrim vampires from lore, while also increasing power slightly and making the game recognise when you are not in direct sunlight (e.g. shadows, rainy days etc.) among other things.

Description:
-------------------------
This mod has been made with the Intention of making the Vampires in Skyrim better and more enjoyable, while also trying to make them in line with Skyrim Lore and not make any radical overhaul of the Vanilla Vampirism, just small changes here and there to improve it. For example making being a vampire feel like you are a nocturnal creature, with buffs and bonuses at Night, and disadvantages and maybe even death if you get caught out in the sun.

Detail:
--------------------
Changes that this mod makes to the vampires:
1. Grants the ability to freeze your openents solid with a brand new shout
2. Makes the powers feel more like actual abilities, by removing the once per day restrictions on all abilities
3. Makes the vampiric drain spell more powerful, to make it a viable option
4. As an undead creature, you have no need for air, hence can stay underwater without fear of drowning
5. No longer will you get affected by the sun unless the suns rays are touching you
6. When you feed, you drain a portion of your victims health
7. Removes the Attack On Sight at vampire rank 4
8. Makes the sunlight "damage" actually feel derogetry, and more powerful vampires can be killed by the sunlight
9. Added in 2 new potions - Vampirism Cure and Vampires Blood, the cure will cure vampirism, and the blood will infect you.
To Obtain the Cure, open the console by clicking the button to the left of 1 (`). and type HELP CURE or Vampirism, then scroll (using page up/down keys) until you see something like ALCH (ID) 'Vampirism Cure' where ID is the ID of the Cure. Then type player.additem ID 1, where again the ID is the ID of the cure, you can replace 1 with the number of cures you would like.

To obtain the blood is the same, but instead of typing HELP cure etc., you would type HELP Blood or Vampires and scroll up till you see something like ALCH (ID) 'Vampires Blood'.
(Versions 3.0D and higher support this)
10.Fixes the bug where as a vampire lord, your drain health spell is weaker when Serana is your follower.
11.Adds in a new ability which gives you quite powerful buffs to your Health, Stamina and Magicka regen rates and gives you a Resistance to Damage during the Night (7:00pm to 6:00 am)
12. Makes Vampires Seduction affect higher level enemies.
13. As of 3.31 Summon Arvak is now a lesser power (while not actually a vampire related change, just thought I would put that in here anyway - if you want it removed, just say and if enough people want it out then I shall make it a separate mod.)
14. Increases weakness to fire back up to to pre-dawnguard values, so Rank 4 Vampire has a 100% weakness to fire
15. Adds in new effect to potion of blood - if you drink it when you are not a vampire you loose 95 points of health.

From 3.41 onwards I have made it possible for you to decide on the damage percentages for feeding at the different ranks.
To do so, open the console (by pressing the ` button) and typing SET VT_FeedDamage# TO ###

Replacing the first # with the vampire rank you want to affect, and the 2nd lot with 3 ### to the percentage. so for example if you wanted to set vampire rank 1 to kill anyone you feed on you would type SET VT_FeedDamage1 TO 100 into the console and click Enter.

The default values are:
rank 1 - 25
rank 2 - 40
rank 3 - 55
rank 4 - 70

To find the current values of damage percentages open the console (press the `) and type HELP "VT_", without the speech marks and you will see the 4 values.

Known issues and bugs:
-----------------------------------
Some people seem to have problems when it comes to feeding, It is likely that this is caused by other vampire mods conflicting. - This should be fixed with any new versions (including 3.4)

Sometimes the Moth Priest will not be able to become your thrall even when you feed on him.

Night Powers makes your Health, Magicka and Stamina regenerate instantly after going down, lots of spells don't decrease Magicka and sprinting does not decrease stamina. - Fixed as of 3.32.

Potions of Blood do not decrease your vampire rank, and do not count as feeding. - This has been fixes as of 3.4

See FAQ for fixes / workarounds to the bugs that have not been fixed

Reporting Bugs and Issues
--------------------------------------
If you are going to report a bug, you should follow these steps:
1. Check the known bugs and issues list, to make sure your bug is not there
2. Before you report the bug, disable all other mods and run the game with only this mod
3. If you still encountered the bug then proceed to the next step, else it was not a problem with this mod
4. Go into the discussions tab and click on the Bug topic
5. Report your bug here, making sure to describe the bug in as much detail as you can, what you were doing, where it happened (if necessary) etc.

If your bug did not appear after you disabled the other mods, it is likely that a mod conflict has occured, see the section below on reporting mod conflicts / incompatibilities.

Please do not start a personal conversation with me straight away, if I require you to do so, I shall either start it myself, or request you do so.

FAQ
----------------------------
|1. Feeding does not work - no red animation, regression in vampire ranks etc.
----------------------------------------------------------
If this occurs download the feeding fix file and place it in your Skyrim/Data/Scripts folder and for safe measure place this mod low down in your Load Order. If this still does not fix it then you have a mod that is conflicting. (see below for finding incompatible mods)

|2. I cannot make the moth priest my thrall
----------------------------------------------------------
To get around this bug, you must open up the console by pressing the ` button (to the left of the button 1) and type SetStage DLC1VQ03Vampire 47, this will progress the quest to just after you would have thralled the moth priest, and you may now continue your story line

Incompatabilities:
-------------------------------
This mod WILL conflict with any other vampire overhaul - you will just have to pick one or the other.
For any other vampire mods that make small changes, this mod must be placed below it in the load order (NOTE - conflicts may still occur)

List of Incompatible mods (there are likely to be more than in this list):
Better Vampires by Brehanin 5_4
Belua Sanguinare Revistited by MofoMojo
Sanguinare Vampiris - A Vampire Overhaul by Dawei87
Vampire Overhaul by Sann

Reporting Incompatabilities
--------------------------------------
Follow these steps if you are sure you are experiencing mod Incompatibility (see reporting bugs and issues above)

If you are experiencing an incompatibility with other mods, then it would be helpful for me if you would report it so that I can warn others about it, or maybe create a workaround / fix it.

Before you report the conflict, I request that you find the mod that is conflicting, as I will not go through downloading and testing mods from a list of mods that you send me.

To find the mod that is conflicting, re-enable each mod one by one, trying out the game each time you enable one (should probably only need worry about vampire mods, so re-enable all other mods first and test it, if it does not appear then proceed only doing the vampire mods, else do all of them)

Once you find the mod/s that are conflicting with this one, you should then post the names of the mods (along with the Author of the mod) in the Incompatibilities discussion.

Again, please do not just send me a direct message with the mods that are conflicting, as I am likely to delete these to keep my space free.

Future Plans:
--------------------------
If you have any idea's that you would like to be implemented for future versions, then please comment in the Requests Discussion - Please keep in mind that I am trying to keep this lore-friendly though
