Thought I'd bring this up. Ostim SA has an 'Unrestricted Navigation' toggle in it's MCM that allows the player to feed on a partner while not a vampire. Doing this turns the player into a vampire. Secondly, When feeding on a partner while being a vampire causes the red screen flash and sound to trigger multiple times during the animation and once more after backing out of the animation. Each time the screen flash and sound trigger, it triggers the status notifications saying that you fed. It gets kinda annoying after a while..
So I'm using Devour mod with Ostim Standalone along with "Scion - A Vampire Overhaul" mod. After I let a Alva bite me during ostim scene I get a red flash. All normal. The problem is my PC becomes a vampire after this without even contracting Sanguinare disease. I can't even cure myself. As soon as Alva feeds on me during sex, I get all vampire side effects. Not sure if this is by design but how can I fix it?
The red flash it not normal for NPC feeding, only for when the PC feeds. Which then also explains the side effects, since the script to reset the vampire stage for the PC gets invoked. Which animation in particular are you using for the feeding?
It doesn't matter which animation, I have animations from Anub's mod and even they trigger it. Building on what you mentioned, when npc feeds on me I get a message that my thirst has been satiated or something like that. So the game thinks I'm the one who is feeding. I also start getting all the effects of vampire without being a vampire, like I can't go to Falion and get cured that way. I have to go and contract Sanguinare disease from fighting vampire and then go to Falion and chose the appropriate dialogue option. Thanks for responding, I'm not even sure where to start on fixing this issue.
You were absolutely right, the other animations are not causing any problem, it is just the ones from Anub. Any idea what I could change to fix the issue here?
I am using Ostim Standalone and this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/101918 As for animation I am using "Anubs Female Vampire Feeding" where the npc is feeding on my player character. I failed to mention that my character is also female.
Fellas. I think this might be intentional. From Anub's animations for Ostim Standalone FOMOD:
6 vampire animations with vampire feeding (use Devour for vampire feeding, careful though it will turn you into vampire). There are scenes for male or female vampires, to properly play them you need to have female or male vampire among you actor.
Did you ever figure out a fix for this? Same issue here. Nothing works besides the console command "setstage 000EAFD5 10" which essentially marks the game as having completed the last quest in the cure vampirism mission. However, this only works once so I don't want to use this method.
First, be a vampire and second, tag the action properly. I'm using sacrosanct, ostim sa and anubs vampire feeding animation and it's working perfectly for me, after tagging the scenes ofcourse
Feeding causes no effect. The upper bar always remains empty and MCM automatically changes back its settings even after changing settings, saving and reloading the game🥶🥶
Neat mod! Here's a couple suggestions that would improve the experience for me: - Having Blood be a resource that is saved in between encounters. So drain half the bar and immediately start another bite action or scene and it's still half. With a 24 hour or so refresh period on that resource. - Having certain thresholds in that resource bar like 33% or 50% where a "Feeding" has occurred. This turns it into a little minigame like from Vampire the Masquerade, where you're trying to get as much blood as possible without killing the person and a renewable source of blood.
These suggestions have spawned from my personal use of Better Vampires. You can cheese the existing system by spamming the animation repeatedly, racking up lots of feedings which is a form of free progression. Better Vampires inhibits this by applying a condition that makes the individual die on the next feeding or be unable to be fed upon if they're essential. However that condition does not apply using this mod's animations.
Essentially, I just want the ability to feed on someone a finite number of times, but not kill them using this mod. Theoretically, there's lots of potential methods to accomplish this and I'd be happy with any of them.
Hey, I was curious if anyone else is running into this issue. So I'm using Scion and Ostim Standalone, I get the option to feed just fine, the mcm and blood bar show up and work. However, after feeding, whether by emptying the blood bar or leaving early, my character does not seem to actually get fed. As in, Scion is not registering my character as having fed and my vampiric thirst stays the same. Anyone else running into this? Super cool mod otherwise, thanks for sharing <3
Edit: Wow nevermind, I am dumb as a literal hammer and didn't realize I didn't have vampire feed proxy downloaded for some reason. Apologies! Please forgive and ignore my stupidity.
Hello! Great mod, thanks for creating it! Is there any way I could increase the "blood bar" drain time past 20 seconds? I'd like to have it much longer. Thanks!
Can anyone please confirm they have this working with the latest versions of OStim Standalone?
This mod used to work for me, but now I simply don't have those "bite" buttons showing in the UI. I've started digging into OStim and apparently to show they require PC to have a "Vampire" KW . My character does, I've checked through console.
I’m having a similar issue. I get the bite menu if I turn on Ostim debug. Devour does have an mcm option to turn off the check for vampire. My issue could be because I’m doing a test run and gave myself vampirism in the cheat room mod. When becoming a vampire, if some mods don’t recognize you as a vampire, you can reload a save and become a vampire again to triggers your mods to recognize the change and fill the requirement. I’m going to try reloading and catch vampirism the normal way.
I found that you were right. Even after installing the Lovemaking Compendium mod and turning off the check for vampire option in Ostim, it did not solve the problem for me. I'll just use the search to get to it until it works again in the latest version.

I checked Ostim scenes with vampirebite, and couldn't find what I'm doing wrong :(
Can there be any MCM settings which allow non-vampire player/npc to be an actor of vampirebite?
Here are example of my scenes configs(there are 2 sets of animations with vampirebite with female and male vampires):

@afshin76 which version of OStim and which animation packs are you using?
As for animation I am using "Anubs Female Vampire Feeding" where the npc is feeding on my player character. I failed to mention that my character is also female.
I think this might be intentional.

I solved it by downgrading OStim SA to 7.2
