Okay, so I recently decided to try a Sacrosanct/Better Vampires combined playthrough. I have the patch required for the two to work together, and I've made sure all the flags are present and the BV script is running in the status page on BV's MCM. I also installed the BV scripts for this mod, but when I feed on a follower, it says in the top left corner "I am now a vampire", meaning I leveled up from Fledgeling which doesn't really make sense, since I set my leveling to 'Days as a Vampire'... And moreso, my blood pool stays the same, which kinda defeats the purpose. It worked fine with only Sacrosanct installed... I'm guessing this isn't meant to work with the combination of the two?
I'd love to see this patched for those? Being able to ask for a bite from my spouse is glorious lol.
I don't use Sacrosanct usually, so I'm not sure about it, but the following URL clearly states that there is no compatibility between Sacrosanct and Better Vampires: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/54 Also Better Vampires has an option file for adds some of Sacrosanct's magic, but readme described in more detail about the deadly conflict between both.
So I think "patch for the two to (perfectly) work together" is doesn't exist, and probably this mod is not involved the problem (Probably it will occur same phenomenon when feeding every time even don't install this mod as long as you continue to use both together).
I've removed this and reverted to an old save after realizing this didn't work as it had when used Sacrosanct alone. I'd love to try this with ONLY BV and no Sacrosanct/patches... But that would require a new game, so it'll have to wait.
Out of desperation, I started a fresh game with Better Vampires only. Sacrosanct and its patch were never activated in it. I became a vampire quickly, then went straight to Kaidan.
I tried asking for a bite, and pretty much had the same experience; it counted toward the neck bites my character needs to rank up, and even gave a message regarding her hunger level, and said she last fed 0 hours ago in BV's MCM. But just like before, the blood pool didn't change, giving her no points. :(
If you use Better Vampires, you must select "Better Vampires" patch on installer of this mod.
This mod doesn't edit playervampirequestscript.pex, but Better Vampires and Sacrosanct change this significantly (All the events about feeding are stored in that script, and this mod's dialogues is just calling it). In target selection, Sacrosanct has at least the same syntax as vanilla, but Better Vampires is different. That's why need patch.
Thanks for the reply. :) Unfortunately, as I said in my first post, when I was talking about BV and Sacrosanct combined, "I also installed the BV scripts for this mod", so I'm not sure what's causing this. :( Even on a new game with only BV, and the BV patch for this mod, it doesn't seem to work. O_o I'll keep testing, if I manage to replace my busted computer, but for now, I'm not sure what's wrong.
I realize this is an older post, and im not so sure this is the best place for my comment. But I have been playing with both BV and Sacrosanct simultaneously installed/patched successfully for quite a while. I had to tinker around a lot to get things working properly, especially with the load orders and the deactivation of alot of sacrosanct mechanics. But I just want to say that, it is possible.
Anyways, I apologize If this comment happens to break any-rules for going off-topic. Im just all about that TES-Vampire lyfe.
According to Sacrosanct's compatibility notes, Better Vampires is "Incompatible" still now. So do it at your own risk, regardless of whether or not it is actually possible (If you do it without sufficient knowledge of load order and scripts override, will occur problems like the posts above).
I will not do any support on that, but at least if you have an environment where the scripts of vampire system work properly, this mod will work by just selecting the correct one in the installer.
One thing I can say for certain: my issue with my blood pool not filling was not the result of using BV and Sacrosanct at the same time, as I stopped using Sacrosanct a month or so after my initial comment. I'm using only BV with this mod's BV scripts, but the issue prevails. :( Whatever's causing this, it's not BV conflicting with Sacrosanct, but I have yet to identify what IS causing it.
I'm pretty sure it does, as my last new game was this and BV with no other vampire mods... I'm working on a new mod setup as we speak (trimming the fat, updating mods, etc), and plan on starting a new game when that's done, so I'll let you know. Thank you for continuing to support this mod. :) I THINK this works with no other mods except BV installed (can't remember for sure but I just have tried that at some point...), so I'm thinking I must have some kind of conflict, though xedit hasn't named anything overwriting functionality of this or BV. I'll keep you posted.
So this seems to work in a new game to some degree (basically, if I'm not too far into my current thirst stage, feeding can move me back a stage, but I'm not sure it effects her blood pool). Now I'm wondering, though. Any way to modify this to remove the once a day limit? Lol
This is a nice Idea! Love this feeding concept. Question thou: If i was a vampire and don't have a follower yet. Can I gain the power ups by feeding on hostile or neutral npcs like the ones sleeping or in bleeding state?
Sorry, I think my expression is wrong. I just want to provide Chinese files for users of the forum. It's not mod ontology, and my English level is only up to the level of machine translation. Mod is still downloaded with Nexus mods. wwwwwwww
I've always been bored of hunting my prey when I'm in a dungeon or a ruin, my vampire doesn't always have time when she's on a quest. Drinking blood potions doesn't make her too much of a vampire lol, but thanks to you she can quietly feed on her 2 followers.
This mod is a great idea. Thanks ^^
Edit : You can easily turn someone into a vampire if you have the "Better vampire" mod. Use the power "Praestare sanguinare" of the mod "Better vampire", then talk to your follower and choose the option "May I have a bite, please? You bite your follower and he becomes a vampire.
1. Open bloodbond.esp in CreationKit. 2. Search and open "aaaVampireFeedingQuest" then click on Dialogue Views tab. 3. Double Click on the line that says "Of course." in dialogue tree. 4. Find the line of [PlayerRef.DamageActorValue("Health", 50.0)] in the text area of Papyrus Fragment tab at the bottom of the screen, and edit [50.0] to your desired value. 5. Click "Compile" -> "OK".
If you are able to decompile "aaaVampireFeedingScript.pex" on your own and edit the line directly with a text editor, it will be easier to do so than the above method.
I don’t know how to edit, I’m a Taiwanese and I’m not very good at English, haha, can you change health 250 for me? I will sponsor you, thank you very much
I'm not very good at English too, haha. I'm afraid I have no plans to do it, so you may want to look for the Taiwanese mod reference that how to edit scripts.
I just had one main request. Any way you could make the lip synching (silent voice) a bit shorter? I don't mind the fact that there's no subtitled dialogue, but my follower's lips keep moving while I'm biting him. :D
I like the idea of this mod but (in the vampire lore irl idk if it is the in skyrim) if a vampire drinks another vampires blood they become kinda like bound to each other
I like the concept very much, but I have the issue, after beeing bitten by my vampire follower I can not interact with that NPC anymore. (No crosshair appearing) Any idea?
The issue didn't appear in my game. This mod don't edit UI, camera, crosshair, or aim.
Please enter in console the following: enableplayercontrols 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
Alternatively, open console and click the NPC then execute Disable -> Enable.
I'm not sure but I think it may occur by other mods that 1st / 3rd Person Camera Overhaul or editing HUD. If don't solve even trying the above, suspect a conflict with them.
Thank you for your kind answer. Sorrily none of your suggestions solved the problem. I assume you are right about a conflicting mod in my loadorder. Also tried loading last and first in loadorder did not change anything. I´ll keep on testing several things and will report, if I find the conflicting mod
It seems the issue is only with one specific follower, Alva, I made a follower by console commands. Other vampire followers like EIrisse and Ethelinda from "Immersive Wenches" work fine.
Thank you for information. Guessing from your report, it doesn't seem to be a camera or HUD issue.
Alva is a special NPC who involved in vanilla quest and not hireble as follower without console or mod, so the original alias she has, or the quest that manage her may be involved in this issue. (USEP wiki has a lot of evidence that shows that flags about her is complex)
Because editing vanilla records is risky, I think the safest solution is to create a new clean NPC with hers appearance and name then hire her as follower...
I had Alva recruted like I had made the in the description here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85234 I will see what will happen recruiting her via RDO. Therefore I´ll need several more ingame hours in my current playthrough. When I get there I will tell the results here.
Now I can reproduce where the problem is coming from. In a new game I recruited Alva via console again and everything worked fine, until I gave Alva a nickname via EFF. This should be avoided maybe even for all vampire followers in the game. Anyway who wants to give a nickname to a vampire??? :)))
I admire your verification. Sorry for bothering you.
I confirmed it is occur when player was bite by NPC who applied nickname by EFF, but I have no idea how to fix it. I looked for a script of EFF related to nickname and found it, but it is written in complicated SKSE functions so I can't understand what how it works or what it conflicts.
At the moment, all I can do is alert for users not to use this mod with nickname feature of EFF... I will let you know when you find a solution.

If it is not too much trouble, I would appreciate your cooperation in verifying this.

However, as stated in "Permission and Credit", I do not allow my mod to be published on other sites.
Please understand.

Drinking blood potions doesn't make her too much of a vampire lol, but thanks to you she can quietly feed on her 2 followers.
