What a neat mechanic. This weapon is ideal to be obtained via a new quest as a new and unique Daedric artifact, or integrated into the Dark Brotherhood Quest line.
I started a new playthrough and again the dagger is not dropping. The quest is running and I have looted dead vampires. Do I have to kill them myself maybe? It's not enough if my follower does it?
I started a new playthrough (last time I just installed your mod mid playthrough) and I am having problems with it now.
First I didn't find the knife on any vampire even though I was level 20 and emptied all vampire lairs in the base game. So I used fallrim tools to remove all references to the mod from my save. Now I found the knife but the effect does not trigger. Funnily enough I found it a second time now, so apparently the mod didn't realize I picked it up the first time.
I tried the mod and it appears to work at first glance, but I'm always reverting right back.
Could it be some kind of cloak spell I'm having that your mod counts as me attacking others?
EDIT: It could also be Serana detecting me, I guess? I tried it on the Clavicus Vile quest, maybe it's Barbas? EDIT: Also insta-reverting without Serana and Barbas :-(
EDIT: I found the culprit. It's the Device Hider from Devious Devices. Apparently the disguise script unrequips it, and then there is a script in Devious Devices that equips it right back, but it's not on the list of disguise parts, so I revert right back. It has a Clothing keyword on it but sits on slot 60.

Any ideas how to debug and fix this problem?
I was able to fix it manually:
set YERDaggerFound to 1
stopquest YERSpawnQuest
startquest YERPlayerTracker

If you backstab twice quickly, you get to keep the additional faction membership.
Not sure what exactly happened but the Bthardamz inhabitants now consider me friendly even though I'm not disguising.
EDIT: After three days I have now had ONE occasion where I didn't revert right back. I have no idea what went different this time.
