Description
Ever feel like vampires in skyrim ought to be able to actually make thralls? This mod fixes that.
It adds a "subjugate" power that, when cast on an npc, will turn them into Vampire Cattle-like NPCs. This can be done to up to 10 NPCs at a time.
I assign them to a set of aliases so that the actual NPC record is not modified (meaning it should be compatible with most NPCs and if they are freed then they should go back to their previous state).
FAIR WARNING: In order to restore their vanilla outfits without skse64 I have to "resurrect" the NPC which resets them. This probably won't break things, but there is no guarantee. I haven't played with it long enough on my game to say for sure what all this might conflict with. If anyone knows of a better method than this please let me know.
Additionally, this mod adds a "Vampiric Attraction" power that allows you to enthrall up to 2 NPCs, making them potential followers.
How to Use
On installation, you will be given the "Subjugate," "Summon Cattle," and "Vampiric Attraction" lesser powers.
Subjugate - Just cast it on any NPC and then activate them to pop up the menu allowing you to manage them as Vampire Cattle. Note: the "talk to" popup will not show, activate them anyway and the menu will appear.
Summon Cattle - Simple, just cast and all custom Vampire Cattle will be moved to you.
Vampiric Attraction - Just use the power and the first NPC you talk to in the next 30 seconds will get a menu allowing you to enthrall them. In order to dismiss a thrall completely (removing the "Follow me" option), just cast the spell again and talk to them. A menu will pop up and you can say "Dismiss."
Known Issues
Sometimes NPCs still say their vanilla dialogue... spent hours on this one and I'm still not sure how to stop them more effectively. v1.2.3 Fixed
Some NPCs will not ever say the Vampire Cattle lines. This is a voice-type issue. At some point I may just have them all use the lines regardless of their actual voice type, but I haven't messed with that yet. (Dialogue in the CK is really not my favorite thing to mess with, I prefer scripting). v1.2.3 Changed
Outfits will reset periodically. I can't seem to fix this without making the outfit change permanent, which I would rather not do. v1.2.1 Found a workaround
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any other mod out there. I do not edit any vanilla records; I just add components. I actually made this to go along with Sacrosanct, as I missed having the ability to make thralls after swapping from Better Vampires.
Permissions
No custom resources here, just Creation Kit use and scripting. Script sources are included, and feel free to use this mod however you wish. However, I would ask that you do not upload the mod in its entirety elsewhere without asking first.

- They take on the dialogue sounds of vampire cattle and stop saying their normal lines.
- They are essential, so you cannot accidentally over-feed on them.
- You can activate them to toggle the prisoner outfit
- You can have them follow you (note: this is so you can take them to your home / their cell etc. They are not proper followers!)
- You can instruct them to stay. They will then sandbox around an 128 unit area. This is so that if you have a cell with beds or other markers in it they will use them.
- You can release them.
- You can summon them with a "Summon Cattle" power.
